This paper proposes a novel sensorless maximum power point tracking (11PPT) algorithm for PV systems. The method is based on dividing the operating time into several intervals in which the PV terminals are short circuited in one interval and the calculated short-current of the PV is obtained and used to determine the optimum operating point where the maximum output power can be obtained. The proposed MPPT algorithm has been introduced into a current-controlled boost converter whose duty ratio is controlled to the maintain MPP condition. The same sequence is then repeated regularly capturing the PV maximum power. The main advantage of this method is eliminating the current sensor. Meanwhile, this MPPT algorithm reduces the power oscillations around the peak power point which occurs with perturbation and observation algorithms. In addition, the total cost will decrease by removing the current sensor from the PV side. Finally, simulation results confirm the accuracy of the proposed method.

The purpose of this research is to determine the point of fixation of the driver during the process of driving. Based on the results of this research, the driving instructor can make a judgement on what the trainee stare on the most. Traffic accidents have become a serious concern in modern society. Especially, the traffic accidents among unskilled and elderly drivers are at issue. A driver should put attention on the vehicles around, traffic signs, passersby, passengers, road situation and its dashboard. An eye-tracking-based application was developed to analyze the driver's gaze behavior. It is a prototype for real-time eye tracking for monitoring the point of interest of drivers in driving practice. In this study, the driver's attention was measured by capturing the movement of the eyes in real road driving conditions using these tools. As a result, dwelling duration time, entry time and the average of fixation of the eye gaze are leading parameters that could help us prove the idea of this study.

Objective: The aim of this study is to classify between intentional and natural blinks in vision based eye tracking system. Through implementing the classification method, we expect that the great eye tracking method will be designed which will perform well both navigation and selection interactions. Background: Currently, eye tracking is widely used in order to increase immersion and interest of user by supporting natural user interface. Even though conventional eye tracking system is well focused on navigation interaction by tracking pupil movement, there is no breakthrough selection interaction method. Method: To determine classification threshold between intentional and natural blinks, we performed experiment by capturing eye images including intentional and natural blinks from 12 subjects. By analyzing successive eye images, two features such as eye closed duration and pupil size variation after eye open were collected. Then, the classification threshold was determined by performing SVM(Support Vector Machine) training. Results: Experimental results showed that the average detection accuracy of intentional blinks was 97.4% in wearable eye tracking system environments. Also, the detecting accuracy in non-wearable camera environment was 92.9% on the basis of the above used SVM classifier. Conclusion: By combining two features using SVM, we could implement the accurate selection interaction method in vision based eye tracking system. Application: The results of this research might help to improve efficiency and usability of vision based eye tracking method by supporting reliable selection interaction scheme.

본 연구는 오염물 거동에 대한 수치해석을 위해 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 수치 방법들의 장단점을 총괄적으로 나타내고, 효율적인 수치모델링 기법 개발을 위해 ELLAM과 LEZOOMPC를 비교분석하였다. 지하수 분야에서 가장 많이 사용되는 수치 방법은 Eulerian-Lagrangian 방식과 Eulerian 방식인데, Eulerian-Lagrangian 방식은 수치영역 내에서 일반적으로 질량을 보존하지 못하고, 경계조건을 체계적으로 처리하지 못하는 한계를 갖고 있다. 반면에 Eulerian 빙식은 시간 및 공간 절삭 오차로 인해서 시간 간격 및 격자 크기를 극히 줄여야 하는 제약을 갖고 있다. 최근 10 년간 지하수 분야에서 크게 대두되고 있는 수치기법인 ELLAM(Eulerian Lagrangian Localized Adjoint Method)은 Eulerian-Lagrangian 방식과 Eulerian 방식에서 나타나는 수치 제약점이나 한계점을 동시에 해결하는 수치기법으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 ELLAM의 장단점을 파악하고 보완점을 제안한다. ELLAM의 단점을 파악하기 위해, mesh Peclet number가 다른 예제들을 설정하고, 그 예제들에 대한 ELLAM, LEZOOMPC(Lagrangian-Eulerian ZOOMing Peak and valley Capturing)와 visual MODFLOW의 수치결과들을 해석해와 비교하였다. Mesh Peclet number가 무한대일 때 ELLAM의 수치결과는 수치진동으로 인해 해석해와 일치하지 않았으나, LEZOOMPC의 수치 결과는 해석해와 일치했다. 위의 결과는 ELLAM의 수치오차가 LEZOOMPC의 특성을 이용하여 개선 및 보완될 수 있는 가능성을 시사해 준다. 따라서 ELLAM에 LEZOOMPC의 후향 입지추적, 전향 입지추적, 선택적 국부 격자 세립화 과정과 최고/최저 농도점 이동 추적 과정을 결합하면 ELLAM의 수치적 장점을 유지하면서 mesh Peclet number에 제약을 받지 않는 효율적인 수치모델링 기법을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

We present an eye tracking system using a low cost 3D CMOS imager for 3D displays that ensures a correct auto stereoscopic view of position- dependent stereoscopic 3D images. The tracker is capable of segmenting the foreground objects (viewer) from background objects using their relative distance from the camera. The tracker is a novel 3D CMOS Image Sensor based on Time of Flight (TOF) principle using innovating photon gating techniques. The basic feature incorporates real time depth imaging by capturing the shape of a light-pulse front as it is reflected from a three dimensional object. The basic architecture and main building blocks of a real time depth CMOS pixel are described. For this application, we use a stereoscopic type of display using parallax barrier elements that is described as well.

본 논문은 시뮬레이션을 통해 다수의 초음파 발신부로부터 순차적으로 발생되는 초음파를 공간 내에서 자유롭게 움직이는 여러개의 이동형 개체들에 각각 장착된 초음파 수신부가 수신하여 각 개체의 위치를 스스로 계산할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 적절한 위치에 고정 장착된 3개 이상의 초음파 발신부에 의해 정의되는 공간 내에서 움직이는 개체가 자신들의 위치를 스스로 추정 가능하게 하기 때문에 공간 내에 존재하는 개체 수에 제안을 받지 않는 다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 기술은 다 개체 시스템의 위치 제어 및 모션 포착 기술에 효과적으로 응용이 가능하다.

Dust released from the rotating timber cutting process causes various kinds of diseases as well as safety issues. Although there were lots of efforts to reduce the amount of dust by installing large-sized dust collectors or by using expensive high-quality cutters, they proved to be not so effective. In this study we want to modify and improve the design of the rotary cutter system to prevent dust from being released to the environment as possible by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. We have developed CFD models of the conventional cutter and several design modifications. Through the CFD analysis the characteristics of the air flow was predicted, and then the behavior of dust produced during the cutting process was analyzed for different designs. The most efficient design feature to capture dust inside the cutter as much as possible was chosen based on the CFD analysis results. Finally the prototype of the ratary saw machine was constructed and tested to check the dust capturing efficiency, which result is reasonably consistent with the predicted performance through the CFD analysis.

Structural integrity can be accessed from dynamic deformations of structures. Moreover, dynamic deformations can be acquired from non-contact sensors such as video cameras. Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) algorithm is one of the commonly used methods for motion tracking. However, averaging throughout the extracted features would induce bias in the measurement. In addition, pixel-wise measurements can be converted to physical units through camera intrinsic. Still, the depth information is unreachable without prior knowledge of the space information. The assigned homogeneous coordinates would then mismatch manually selected feature points, resulting in measurement errors during coordinate transformation. In this study, a two-stage optimization method for video-based measurements is proposed. The manually selected feature points are first optimized by minimizing the errors compared with the homogeneous coordinate. Then, the optimized points are utilized for the KLT algorithm to extract displacements through inverse projection. Two additional criteria are employed to eliminate outliers from KLT, resulting in more reliable displacement responses. The second-stage optimization subsequently fine-tunes the geometry of the selected coordinates. The optimization process also considers the number of interpolation points at different depths of an image to reduce the effect of out-of-plane motions. As a result, the proposed method is numerically investigated by using a truss bridge as a physics-based graphic model (PBGM) to extract high-accuracy displacements from recorded videos under various capturing angles and structural conditions.
