The aim of this paper is to come up with a methodology of constructing an efficient model for multiple representations which can manage and reconcile real-time data about large-scale roads in Vector Domain. In other words, we suggested framework based on a bottom-up approach, which is allowed to integrate data from the network of the lowest level sequentially and perform automated matching in order to produce variable-scale map. Finally, we applied designed multi-LoD model to in-vehicle application.

North Korea is one of the most vulnerable countries of the world for drought but still it is difficult to find scientific researches for understanding of the drought characteristics. This study analyzed the temporal and spatial distribution of meterological drought severity and classified the drought development types in North Korea. All eleven drought indices were tested such as seasonal rainfall, PDS, SPI and so on, and then drew the drought risk map by each indicator using frequency analysis and GIS(Geographic Information Systems) for twenty one meteorological stations. In addition meteorological drought characteristics in North Korea was classified to six patterns on Si/Gun administrative units using cluster analysis on the drought indicators. The cluster III has the strongly drought-resistant area due to sufficient rainfall and the cluster V was considered as the most drought-vulnerable area, Pungsan and Sinpo, because of the severest drought condition for eight drought indicators. The results of this study are expected to be provided for the basic understanding of regionalized drought severity and characteristics confronting the risk of drought from climate variations in North Korea.

수치표고모델, 정사영상과 같은 공간영상정보를 구축하기 위해서는 입체영상을 이동한 영상정합(image matching)의 과정이 필수적이며, 단영상 또는 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 대상물의 3차원 정보를 재구성하고 복원하는 기술은 사진측량 및 컴퓨터 비전 분야의 주요 연구 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 화소값의 유사성과 상호관계성을 고려하는 MRF 모델을 이용하여 영상정합을 수행하였다. MRF 모델은 공간분석이나 물리적 현상의 전후관계(contextural dependencies)의 분석을 위한 확률이론의 한 분야로 다양한 공간정보를 통합할 수 있는 방법을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 기준영상의 화소에 시차를 할당하는 접근 방법으로 확률모델의 일종인 마르코프 랜덤필드(MRF)모델에 기반한 영상정합기법을 제안하였고, 공간내 화소의 상호관계를 고려해주므로 대상물의 경계부분에서의 매칭 정확도를 향상시켰다. 영상정합문제에서의 MRF 기본가정은 영상 내 특정화소의 시차는 그 주위화소의 시차에 의한 부분정보에 따라 결정이 가능하다는 것이다. 깁스분포(gibbs distribution)를 사용하여 사후(posteriori) 확률값을 유도해내고, 이를 최대사후확률(MAP: Maximum a Posteriori)추정법을 이용하여 에너지함수를 생성하였다. 생성된 에너지함수의 최적화(Optimization)를 위하여 본 연구에서는 전역최적화기법인 multiway cut 기법을 사용하여 영상정합에 있어 에너지함수를 최소로 하는 이미지화소에 대한 시차레이블을 구하여 영상정합을 수행하였다.

Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM) is the tool that can map out temperature or the thermal property distribution with the highest spatial resolution. Since the local temperature or the thermal property of samples is measured from the extremely small heat transferred through the nanoscale tip-sample contact, improving the sensitivity of SThM probe has always been the key issue. In this study, we develop a new design and fabrication process of SThM probe to improve the sensitivity. The fabrication process is optimized so that cantilevers and tips are made of thermally grown silicon dioxide, which has the lowest thermal conductivity among the materials used in MEMS. The new design allows much higher tip so that heat transfer through the air gap between the sample-probe is reduced further. The position of a reflector is located as far away as possible to minimize the thermal perturbation due to the laser. These full $SiO_2$ SThM probes have much higher sensitivity than that of previous ones.

Target design study to improve the quality of an accelerated proton beam from the interaction of a high-intensity short pulse laser with an overdense plasma slab has been accomplished by using a two-dimensional, fully electromagnetic and relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The target consists of a thin core part and a thick peripheral part of equivalent plasma densities, while the ratio of the radius of the core part to the laser spot size, and the position of the peripheral part relative to the fixed core part were varied. The positive effects of this core-peripheral target structure could be expected from the knowledge of the typical target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) mechanism in a laser-plasma interaction, and were apparently evidenced from the comparison with the case of a conventional simple planar target and the case of the transversal size reduction of the simple planar target. Improvements of the beam qualities including the collimation, the forward directionality, and the beam divergence were verified by detailed analysis of relativistic momentum, angular directionality, and the spatial density map of the accelerated protons.

산림은 탄소저장능력이 있어 대표적인 온실가스인 이산화탄소를 저감시킨다. 따라서 산림의 탄소저장능력 특성을 규명하고 그것을 산림경영에 반영함으로써 온실가스 저감이라는 국제적 노력에 동참하는 수단으로 활용할 수 있다. 일반적으로 임분에서의 탄소저장능력(Carbon Storage, CS)은 식생탄소저장능력(Vegetation Carbon Storage, VCS)과 토양탄소저장능력(Soil Carbon Storage, SCS)의 합으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 대표적인 자생수종인 소나무림 VCS의 공간분포를 지엽적 범위(spot level)에서 광역적 범위(regional level)로 확대하여 그 특성을 규명하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 지엽적 범위의 조사 및 연구에서 VCS는 임목의 흉고직경(Diameter at Breast Height)과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 관계와 Quickbird 고해상도 위성영상에서 추출한 소나무림 공간분포도를 이용해 경관범위(landscape level)에서 소나무림 탄소저장능력의 공간분포를 추정할 수 있었으며,그 결과를GIS 및 RS를 통해 광역적 범위로 확대하였다.

This study compared and analyzed the construction of a land use change matrix for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) land use, land use change, and forestry area (LULUCF). We used National Forest Inventory (NFI) permanent sample plots (with a sample intensity of 4 km) and permanent sample plots with 500 m sampling intensity. The land use change matrix was formed using the point sampling method, Level-2 Land Cover Maps, and forest aerial photographs (3rd and 4th series). The land use change matrix using the land cover map indicated that the annual change in area was the highest for forests and cropland; the cropland area decreased over time. We evaluated the uncertainty of the land use change matrix. Our results indicated that the forest land use, which had the most sampling, had the lowest uncertainty, while the grassland and wetlands had the highest uncertainty and the least sampling. The uncertainty was higher for the 4 km sampling intensity than for the 500 m sampling intensity, which indicates the importance of selecting the appropriate sample size when constructing a national land use change matrix.

The spatial variation of ground motion in Kolkata Metropolitan District (KMD) has been estimated by generating synthetic ground motion considering the point source model coupled with site response analysis. The most vulnerable source was identified from regional seismotectonic map for an area of about 350 km radius around Kolkata. The rock level acceleration time histories at 121 borehole locations in Kolkata for the vulnerable source, Eocene Hinge Zone, due to maximum credible earthquake (MCE) moment magnitude 6.2 were generated by synthetic ground motion model. Soil investigation data of 121 boreholes were collected from the report of Soil Data Bank Project, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Surface level ground motion parameters were determined using SHAKE2000 software. The results are presented in the form of peak ground acceleration (PGA) at rock level and ground surface, amplification factor, and the response spectra at the ground surface for frequency 1.5 Hz, 3 Hz, 5 Hz and 10 Hz and 5% damping ratio. Site response study shows higher PGA in comparison with rock level acceleration. Maximum amplification in some portion in KMD area is found to be as high as 3.0 times compared to rock level.

This study investigated the relationship between land cover and the water quality variables in the rivers, which are located in the Yamaguchi prefecture of West Japan. The study area included 12 catchments covering $5,809\;Km^2$. pH, dissolved oxygen, suspended solid, E. coli, total nitrogen and total phosphorus were considered as river water quality variables. Satellite data was applied to generate land cover map. For linking alterations in land cover (at whole catchment and buffer zone levels) and the river water quality variables, multiple regression modeling was applied. The results indicated that non-spatial attribute (%) of land cover types (at whole catchment level) consistently explained high amounts of variation in biological oxygen demand (72%), suspended solid (72%) and total nitrogen (87%). At buffer zone-scale, multiple regression models that were developed to represent the linkage between the alterations of land cover and the river water quality variables could also explain high level of total variations in suspended solid (86%) and total nitrogen (91%).
