Edge is the basic characteristic of image, edge detection is very important in image processing applications and computer vision area. Many studies are being performed to detect these edges by domestic and foreign researchers. The conventional edge detection methods such as Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt, and Laplacian etc, which are using a fixed value of mask are widely used and morphological gradient which uses dilation and erosion among morphology process techniques is also widely used. But these methods does not detect edges well in the diagonal direction or gradually changing image parts. Accordingly, in this paper, the modified top-hat and bottom-hat transform algorithms which are detecting edges well in the parts of diagonal direction or gradually changing image are proposed. The proposed algorithms present the detected edge images compared with the conventional methods and are evaluated performance by using cosine similarity.

In this paper, a new morphological details extraction algorithm is proposed. It is known that separate transmission of details and background smoothed image is a powerful technique for very low bit-rate video data transmission. Several details extraction algorithms show relatively large variation of grayscale levels in details, smoothed image, which is the difference between original and details images, provides highly distortedand complicated result. In order to remedy those pitfails, and thus to improve the coding efficiency, we propose a new algorithm using the reconstruction top-hat result as the reference image in process of obtaining details, instead of top-hat result, which is used fur existing a1gorithms. Experimental results show that details, extracted using the proposed algorithm, are much similar to original image, and thus the smoothed image is not too complicated.

Recently, the size and location of the acquired container image while the container is loading and unloading in Harbors is not fixed. And it is difficult to get a good image for recognition because of the variation of external environment as those the size of container and where the yard-tractor stop is. In this paper, we estimate where the container ISO-code set is using Top-hat transform from realtime images and get an image to recognize container ISO-code using PAN/TILT/ZOOM camera. We extract the container ISO-code using Top-hat transform and Histogram projection. After binarization, we extract each character from complex background using labeling. We use BP(Backpropagation Network) to recognize extracted characters.

This paper presents the complex antenna factor of a top-hat EMI monopole antenna for measuring time domain electromagnetic fields. The approach is facilitated by adding a artificial parallel ground plane above the monopole antenna. This allows use of cylindrical harmonic field expansions in each of three subregions enclosed by the two ground plane. The results show that the complex antenna factor of the top-hat monopole antenna does not diverge at low frequencies. When compared with a monopole antenna, the top-hat monopole antenna has broadband characteristics. In order to verify the availability of the mode-matching method, the input impedance of the antenna were compared with experiments.

안테나를 소형화시키기 위해 많은 노력을 들여왔다. 모노폴 안테나의 크기를 줄이기 위해 많은 연구가 있어왔고 그 중 모노폴 끝에 원반 모양의 패치를 붙인 것이 top-hat 패치 안테나이다. 그리고 다른 대표적인 방법 중의 하나가 PIFA(Planar inverted-F antenna) 구조의 안테나이다. 이 둘을 이용해서 좀 더 작은 크기의 안테나를 구현할 수 있고 안테나 구조를 적절히 변형하여 이중 공진을 일으킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 패치에 슬롯을 주어 전류의 흐름을 변환시켜 이중 공진을 일으킬 수 있는 구조를 제안하였다. 무엇보다도 중요한 점은 이 안테나의 몇 가지 요소를 변화시킴으로써 공진주파수를 원하는 대로 바꿀 수 있다는 것이다.

This study examined the effects of two kinds of functional sun hats through a head-manikin test and a climatic chamber trial for farm workers in summer. Experiment was composed of four conditions. The first condition was the condition without any hat (Control). The second was the condition with a sun hat on the market (Hat A). The third was the condition with a functional sun hat made of reflective fabric (Hat B). The last was the condition with a functional sun hat having a ventilating structure as well as reflective fabric (Hat C). For the subjects in the climatic chamber trials, 12 healthy males volunteered. Air temperature, relative humidity and globe temperature in the chamber was maintained at $33{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C,\;65{\pm}5%RH\;and\;39{\pm}1^{\circ}C\;(WBGT\;33^{\circ}C)$. Subjects did a simulated red pepper-work (50-min work and 10-min rest, twice repetition) for 120 min. As the result of head-manikin test, the surface temperature on middle of back-neck was the lowest in Hat B of four conditions and the surface temperature on top of head was the lowest in Hat C. As the result of climatic chamber trials, there were apparent differences between with (Hat A, Hat B, Hat C) and without a sun hat (Control). In rectal temperature ($T_{re}$), mean skin temperature ($\={T}_{sk}$), heart rate (HR), total sweat rate (TSR), The physiological heat strain was less in the condition with hats than in the condition without a sun hat. As the increasing rate in Tre, Hat B is the most effective hat for alleviation heat strain. As the subjective responses, Hat B was the most effective hat for thermal comfort even though the difference was not significant. Hat C was less effective than Hat B and the reason might be the increase of weight due to inserting the ventilating structure.

This paper investigates the formative features and the historical meaning of the Korean dress collection held in the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge. The Museum holds a total of eleven items of koran dresses that were donated by two anthropologists in the first half of the twentieth century. Male dresses consist of a white cotton jacket (Jeogori), a under-vest (Deungbaeja) made of light wisteria rings, a headband (Manggeon) made of horsehair, a broad brimmed top hat (Gat) made of black horsehair gauze, an oilskin cover (Galmo) drawn over the hat in wet weather, and a hemispherical hat box (Gatjib). Female dresses comprise a pink silk jacket (Jeogori), a blue silk skirt (Chima) with pleats, a pair of woman's white cotton trousers (Sokgot), a black silk cap (Jobawi) decorated with pink tassels and imitation pearls, and a pair of green and magenta silk shoes (Danghye) with leather soles and metal rivets. Theses Korean dresses show what the western anthropologists had interests in. When collectors collect the folk objects, they thought much of the specificity of shape and material, the esthetic appreciation, and the representation of daily life. In terms of the value as the historical materials in the history of Korean dress, the under-vest of wisteria, the hat box, and the female dresses are worth paying attention to. The under-vest is one that was produced in earlier time among the remaining under-vests. The hat box represents that the hat belonged to the merchant classes. The female dress items show daily dresses worn by women of higher classes of the society in the 1920s.

This article focuses on the late 19th to early 20th century gat, the Korean top hat for men, to understand the diverse meanings behind the hat. During the late 19th to early 20th century, the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910) was plunged into confusion and turmoil as it was nearing its end. It was a period of drastic changes in regards to philosophy and ideology. To that end, the hats of society mirrored such changing times, as well as the differences in the awareness of Joseon's internal subject entities and external observers. Based on the analyses of the relevant documents, this study takes a multi-faceted approach to the process in which traditional Korean hats, which were once a symbol of the Joseon civilization, became reduced to an outdated object, as well as observing the awareness and attitudes of the entities involved in such a pivotal process.
