Using computer picture processing, a method of extracting the region of a car number plate is described. A modified Hough transformation, in which parameter plane is restricted, is proposed. The demerits of Hough transformation, i.e., it requires much computation time and storage capacity, are reduced by this method. Further, taking the features of a car number plate into consideration, the region of a car number plate is extracted.

Undesirable flapping motion of discs can cause the failure of swing check valves in nuclear passive safety systems. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) was employed to investigate the flow characteristics around a free-to-rotate plate and the motion response, with the Reynolds numbers, based on the hydraulic diameter of the channel, from 1.32 × 10⁴ to 3.95 × 10⁴. Appreciable flapping motion (±3.52°) appeared at the Reynolds number of 2.6 × 10⁴ with the frequency of 5.08 Hz. In the low-Reynolds-number case, the plate showed negligible flapping. In the high-Reynolds-number case, the deflection angle increased with reduced flapping amplitude. The torque from the fluid determined the flapping amplitude. In the low-Reynolds-number case, Karman vortices were absent. With increasing Reynolds numbers, Karman vortices developed behind the plate with larger deflection angles. Strong interaction between the wake flow from the leading and trailing edge of the plate was observed. Based on power spectrum density (PSD) analysis, the vortex shedding frequency coincided with the flapping frequency, and the amplitude was positively correlated to the strength of the vortices. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) modes evince that, in the case of appreciable motion, coherent structures exhibited a larger spatial scale, enhancing the magnitude of the external torque on the plate.

본 논문은 자동차 차량의 컬러 영상 이미지에서 신속하고 효율적으로 번호판 영역을 찾는 방법에 대한 연구이다. 일반적으로 자동차 번호판 영역은 차량의 종류에 따라 일정한 색상을 가지고 있다. 이에 일정한 색상영역을 찾기 위해 HSI 컬러모델의 색상 성분 H와 YIQ 컬러 모델의 색상 성분 Q를 결합하는 방식을 사용한다. 그러나 이러한 방법을 사용하면 전체 연산시간이 많이 걸리게 되는 단점이 존재한다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 차량 번호판 영역을 추출하는 단계들 중에서 H와 Q 색상 성분을 추출하면서 후보영역 추출 연산을 병행 수행한다. 이 단계가 끝나면 H와 Q성분을 결합하는 단계에서 전체 이미지 픽셀 정보를 대상으로 비교연산을 수행하지 않고 각 단계에서 추출된 후보영역들만을 비교 연산함으로써 영역 추출을 빠르게 수행할 수 있다 이에 대한 각 단계별 시스템 처리 결과 화면을 보이고 이미지 해상도에 따른 추출 시간을 비교하였다.

It is important to completely understand heat/mass transfer from a flat plate because it is a basic element of heat/mass transfer. In the present study, local heat/mass transfer coefficient is obtained for two flow conditions to investigate the effect of boundary layer using the naphthalene sublimation technique. Obtained local heat/mass transfer coefficient is converted to dimensionless parameters such as Sherwood number, Stanton number and Colburn j-factor. These also are compared with correlations of laminar and turbulent heat/mass transfer from a flat plate. According to experimental results, local Sherwood number and local Stanton number are in much better agreement with the correlation of turbulent region rather than laminar region, which means analogy between heat/mass transfer and momentum transfer is more suitable for turbulent boundary layer. But average Sherwood number and average Colburn j-factor representing analogy between heat/mass transfer and momentum transfer are consistent with the correlation of laminar boundary layer as well as turbulent boundary layer.

번호판 인식 작업은 번호판 영역분할, 개별문자 추출, 문자인식의 세 단계를 거쳐 이루어진다. 이 가운데 번호판 영역분할은 번호판 인식의 가장 핵심이 되는 부분이면서 또한 처리 시간이 가장 많이 소요되는 부분이다. 본 논문은 다양한 도로 주변 환경을 고려해야하는 불법주정차 무인단속 현장으로부터 획득된 차량영상을 대상으로 번호판 영역을 효과적으로 추출하는 방법에 관해 기술한다. 접근방법은 번호판 영역의 가로 명암 값 변화의 특성을 이용하여 번호판 영역에서 문자 폭, 배경영역과 문자 영역의 명암차를 조사하여 문자 영역임을 확인하고, 문자와 문자 사이의 거리를 조사하여 번호판 영역을 확인한다. 또한 번호판 영역 추출 과정에서 배경영역과 문자 영역의 명암차를 이용하여 번호판의 종류를 구분한다. 본 연구는 새로운 유럽형 번호판을 포함한 국내 번호판에 대하여 번호판 테두리 훼손에 따른 번호판 영역 추출 실패의 문제점을 해결하고 시간 소요의 문제를 실시간으로 처리함으로서 실용적 응용이 가능하도록 하였다.

The objective of the present study is to investigate thermal diffusion and radiation effects on unsteady MHD flow past a linearly accelerated vertical porous plate with variable temperature and also with variable mass diffusion in presence of heat source or sink under the influence of applied transverse magnetic field. The fluid considered here is a gray, absorbing/emitting radiation but a non-scattering medium. At time t > 0, the plate is linearly accelerated with a velocity $u=u_0t$ in its own plane. And at the same time, plate temperature and concentration levels near the plate raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations involved in the present analysis are solved using the closed analytical method. The velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction, the rate or heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer are studied through graphs in terms of different physical parameters like magnetic field parameter (M), radiation parameter (R), Schmidt parameter (Sc), Soret number (So), Heat source parameter (S), Prandtl number (Pr), thermal Grashof number (Gr), mass Grashof number (Gm) and time (t).

The heat transfer enhancement by pulsating flow in a plate heat exchanger has been experimentally investigated in this study. The effect of the pulsating flow, such as pulsating frequency and flow rate on the heat transfer as well as pressure drop in a plate heat exchanger has been studied in detail. Reynolds number in cold side of a plate heat exchanger is varied 100∼530 while that of hot side is fixed at 620. The pulsating frequency is considered in the range of 5∼30 Hz. The results of the pulsating flow are also compared with those of steady flow. It is found that the average heat transfer rate as well as pressure drop is increased as flow rate is increased for both steady flow and pulsating flow cases. When pulsating flow is applied to the plate heat exchanger, heat transfer could be substantially increased in particular ranges of pulsating frequency or Strouhal number; St=0.36∼0.60 and pressure drop is also increased, compared with those of steady flow. However, in the region of low pulsating frequency or high pulsating frequency, heat transfer enhancement is in meager. Heat transfer enhancement map is suggested based on Strouhal number and Reynolds number of pulsating flow.

License plate recognition is very important in an automobile society. This is because, since plate detection accuracy has large influence on subsequent number recognition, it is very important. However, it is very difficult to do it, because a background and a body color of cars are similar to that of the license plate. In this paper, we propose a new thresholds determination method in the various background by using the real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA). By using RGA, the most likely plate colors are decided under various lighting conditions. First, the average brightness Y values of images are calculated. Next, relationship between the Y value and the most likely plate color thresholds (upper and lower bounds)are obtained by RGA. The relationship between thresholds decided from RGA and brightness average is aproximate by using the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. In the case of plate detection, thresholds are decided from these functions.

The present study proposes a new structure for a flat plate heat pipe which could embody a thin thickness, any shapes and high heat density a unit area. It is on the structure for the formation of vapor passages and the support of the case of the flat plate heat pipe. A screen mesh is used as the one. To verify the validity of the one, the flat plate heat pipe of 1.08mm thickness was made with a layer of the screen mesh with 14 and 100 mesh number respectively and tested. Here the screen mesh with 14 mesh number plays a role of the vapor passage and the support of the case and the screen mesh with 100 mesh number functions as the wick structure. T he results show that the screen mesh excellently carries out the function of the vapor passage and the support of the case.
