This article investigates various transcription techniques for the Legendre pseudospectral (PS) method to compare the pros and cons of each approach. Eight combinations from four different types of collocation points and two discretization methods for dynamic constraints, which differentiate Legendre PS transcription techniques, are implemented to solve a carefully selected test set of nonlinear optimal control problems (NOCPs). The convergence property and prediction accuracy are compared to provide a useful guideline for selecting the best combination. The tested NOCPs consist of the minimum time, minimum energy, and problems with state and control constraints. Therefore, the results drawn from this comparative study apply to the solution of similar types of NOCPs and can mitigate much debate about the best combinations. Additionally, important findings from this study can be used to improve the numerical efficiency of the Legendre PS methods. Three PS applications to the aerospace engineering problems are demonstrated to prove this point.

This paper presents a novel test point insertion (TPI) method for a pseudo-random built-in self-test (BIST) to reduce the area overhead. Recently, a new TPI method for BISTs was proposed that tries to use functional flip-flops to drive control test points instead of adding extra dedicated flip-flops for driving control points. The replacement rule used in a previous work has limitations preventing some dedicated flip-flops from being replaced by functional flip-flops. This paper proposes a logic cone analysis-based TPI approach to overcome the limitations. Logic cone analysis is performed to find candidate functional flop-flops for replacing dedicated flip-flops. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method reduces the test point area overhead significantly with minimal loss of testability by replacing the dedicated flip-flops.

Spatial structures as like dome structure have the different dynamic characteristics from general rahmen structures. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately analyze dynamic characteristics and effectively control of seismic response of spatial structure subjected to multi-supported excitation. In this study, star dome structure that is subjected to multi-supported excitation was used as an example spatial structure. The response of the star dome structure under multiple support excitation are analyzed by means of the pseudo excitation method. Pseudo excitation method shows that the structural response is divided into two parts, ground displacement and structural dynamic response due to ground motion excitation. And the application of passive tuned mass damper(TMD) to seismic response control of star dome structures has been investigated. From this numerical analysis, it is shown that the seismic response of spatial structure under multiple support seismic excitation are different from those of spatial structure under unique excitation. And it is reasonable to install TMD to the dominant points of each mode. And it is found that the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of dome structure subjected to multi-supported excitation.

Acer pseudo-sieboldianum, A. ginnala, A. negundo and A. saccharinum were selected as materials for the studies on the seasonal fluctuation of chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rates. In all the four species during the growing season except in October, the principal component that determined the total chlorophyll content was chlorophyll a. Content of chlorophyll b increased with leaf age, but that of chlorophyll a decreased. In contrast to A. saccharinum and A. pseudo-sieboldianum which showed their maximum chlorophyll content in June, A. negundo, which showed the highest chlorophyll content of the four species, exhibited its maximum chlorophyll content in July, whereas September in the case of A. ginnala. The fluctuation of chlorophyll content was similar to that of air temperature, and it increased till July. But chloprophyll content showed a significant relationship in early stage of leaf development, and there could be any interdependence between them in accordance with the seasonal change, no longer. In all four species light compensation points decreased in accordance with the seasonal change, and the maximum photosynthetic rates were obtained in August. Respiratory rates were shown no significant difference among species, and they decreased according to the adbance of season.

Collision avoidance system is important to improve the robustness and functional safety of autonomous vehicles. This paper proposes an object-level distance estimation method to develop a collision avoidance system, and it is applied to golfcarts utilized in country club environments. To improve the detection accuracy, we continually trained an object detection model based on pseudo labels generated by a pre-trained detector. Moreover, we propose object-aware depth estimation (OADE) method which trains a depth model focusing on object regions. In the OADE algorithm, we generated dense depth information for object regions by utilizing detection results and sparse LiDAR points, and it is referred to as object-aware LiDAR projection (OALP). By using the OALP maps, a depth estimation model was trained by backpropagating more gradients of the loss on object regions. Experiments were conducted on our custom dataset, which was collected for the travel distance of 22 km on 54 holes in three country clubs under various weather conditions. The precision and recall rate were respectively improved from 70.5% and 49.1% to 95.3% and 92.1% after the continual learning with pseudo labels. Moreover, the OADE algorithm reduces the absolute relative error from 4.76% to 4.27% for estimating distances to obstacles.

본 논문은 IKONOS 입체영상과 RPC(Rational Polynomial Coefficients) 모델을 이용하여 3차원 지형자료를 추출할 경우, 추출되는 3차원 지형자료의 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 RPC모델의 위치정확도를 보정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 지상기준점을 활용하여 RPC 모델의 보정을 시도할 경우, 지상기준점의 지역적인 분포 및 사용되는 개수가 보정되는 RPC 모델의 위치정확도 향상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 검증하였다. 실험결과 사용되는 지상기준점의 개수보다는 지상기준점의 분포상태가 보정되는 RPC 모델의 위치정확도에 미치는 영향이 더 크다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 분포상태가 고른 지상기준점을 사용하여 본 연구에서 사용한 알고리즘을 적용할 경우에 안정적으로 위치정확도가 향상된 RPC 모델을 획득할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 수행된 연구결과를 토대로 지상기준점의 분포가 좋지 않거나 사용 가능한 지상기준점의 개수가 부족한 경우, 이를 극복하기 위해 의사지상기준점을 활용하는 알고리즘에 관한 연구도 수행하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 지역적으로 좋지 않은 분포를 보이는 지상기준점들을 활용한 경우에도 의사지상기준점을 활용하면 원래의 RPC 모델보다 위치정확도가 향상된 RPC 모델을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 적은 수의 의사지상기준점을 활용할수록 즉, 지상기준점에 대한 가중치를 더 높일수록 정확도가 높은 RPC 모델을 획득할 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구에서 개발된 알고리즘들을 적용하여 RPC 모델의 위치정확도를 보정하고 이를 이용하여 3차원 지형좌표를 추출하였다. 정확도평가 결과 원래의 RPC 모델을 사용하여 추출된 3차원 지형좌표보다 정확도가 향상된 3차원 지형좌표의 취득이 가능하였다. 이는 본 연구에서 개발한 알고리즘들의 효용성을 입증하는 결과라 사료된다.

Research on neural circuit is a difficult area due to complexity and inaccessibility. Due to recent developments, the research using multi-electrode array of cells or tissues has become an important research area. However, there are some difficulties to decode the submerged meaning from huge and complex neural data. Moreover, it needs a harmonic collaboration between informatics and bioscience. In this paper, we have developed a custom-designed signal processing technique for multi-electrode array measured neural responses induced by electrical stimuli to the hippocampal tissue slices of the rat brain. The raw data from hippocampal slice using the multi-electrode array system were saved in a computer. Then we estimated characteristic points in each channel and calculated the total activity. To estimate the points, we used the Polynomial Fitting Approximation Method. Using the calculated total activity, we could provide the histogram or pseudo-image matrix to help interpretation of results.

지문 인식 시스템에서는 대부분 융선의 끝점과 분기점을 이용한다. 그러나 융선을 체인 코드화하여 이것을 이용한 훼손된 지문의 인식에 관해 연구하였다. 처리의 결과와 순서는 다음과 같이 요약 할 수 있다. (1)몇 개의 훼손된 지문획득, (2)전처리(잡음 제거를 위해 중간 값 필터링, 지역 또는 전역 히스토그램 균등화, 팽창과 침식, 세선화와 유사 이미지 제거), (3)최소 자승법 처리 후 융선 재구성, (4)체인 코드 벡터의 분포 계산, (5)전 처리된 지문 이미지에서 각 벡터의 값들은 거의 같은 결과 값을 보였다. 이 결과로부터 우리는 특징점을 이용한 시스템과 결합하여 사용한다면 더욱 성공적인 지문 인식 시스템이 될 것이라 추측한다.

Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) and its rare earth (Y, Nd, Sm, Gd)-substituted derivatives were synthesized using a sol-gel method to investigate their microstructures, cystal structures and electrical properties depending on the subsituted elemetns. Nd- or Sm-substitution into BIT appeared to be favorable, while Y- or Gd-substitution occurred with a pyrochlore phase. This suggests that a smaller trivalent rare earth ion may not be favorable in the structure of BIT. The rare earth derivatives showed that their particle sizes and shapes were considerably different depending on the kinds of substituted elements. Y-substitution resulted in developing a relatively even particle size and a dense microstructure. In structure, they may be similar to the pseudo-orthorhombic BIT but close to a paraelectric tetragonal phase. Their a (or b) axes were shortened, compared to the one of BIT. Such a distortion may result a decrease in the tilting of TiO6. BIT and the derivatives showed that their dielectric constants and losses were 40~120 and less than 0.03, respectively in the frequency range of 1~10 MHz. The dielectric loss of Y-substituted derivative was the lowest one and changed a little to frequency. Curie points were observed in all the derivatives like BIT to suggest that they would be ferroelectric. The temperature stability of the delectric properties of the derivatives below the Curie points were relatively better than the one of BIT.
