We present fast stereo matching algorithm using edge projection. Traditional stereo matching algorithm uses 2D template for the search of corresponding point thus it requires huge the computational cost. In this paper, we reduce the 2D search problem into 1D using edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction inside the region of interest. Also, by accumulation of edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction, the edge projection within the region of interest could simply be obtained by just subtracting two values. Experimental results show that matching algorithm using edge projection also gives comparable discriminating power compared to that of using intensity.

This paper presents an algorithm capable of detecting leading vehicles using a forward-looking camera. In fact, the accurate measurements of the contact locations of vehicles with road surface are prerequisites for the intelligent vehicle technologies based on a monocular vision. Relying on multistage processing of relevant edge features to the hypothesis generation of a vehicle, the proposed algorithm creates candidate positions being the left and right boundaries of vehicles, and searches for pairs to be vehicle boundaries from the potential positions by evaluating horizontal symmetry. The proposed algorithm is proven to be successful by experiments performed on images acquired by a moving vehicle.

A surface-piercing barrier model is presented for understanding morphological development in the sheltered region and investigating the main factors causing the severe accumulation. Surface-piercing structures like vertical barriers, surface docks and floating breakwaters are recently favored from the point of view of a marine scenario since they do not in general partition the natural sea. The numerical solutions are compared with experimental data on wave profiles and morphological change rates within a rectangular harbor of a constant depth protected by surface-piercing thin breakwaters as a simplified problem. Our numerical study involves several modules: 1) wave dynamics analyzed by a plane-wave approximation, 2) suspended sediment transport combined with sediment erosion-deposition model, and 3) concurrent morphological changes. Scattering waves are solved by using a plane wave method without inclusion of evanescent modes. Evanescent modes are only considered in predicting the reflection ratio against the vertical barrier and energy losses due to vortex shedding from the lower edge of plate are taken into account. A new relationship to relate the near-bed concentration to the depth-mean concentration is presented by analyzing the vertical structure of concentration. The numerical solutions were also compared with experimental data on morphological changes within a rectangular harbor of constant water depth. Through the numerical experiments, the vortex-induced flow appears to be not ignorable in predicting the morphological changes although the immersion depth of a plate is not deep.

해안습지는 육지와 해양이 만나는 점이지대에 형성된 해안퇴적지형으로, 이 중 염하구는 하천과 조류의 영향이 갯강을 통해 직접적으로 미치는 만입형 해안습지이다. 따라서 하천과 조류에 의한 퇴적작용은 염하구의 성장과 발달에 있어서 가장 중요한 프로세스이다. 해안습지는 최근 중요한 환경문제로 대두되고 있는 해수면 상승의 영향을 직접적으로 받는 지형이기 때문에, 해안습지 성장률에 관한 연구는 해안환경의 이해와 관리에 있어 중요한 자료를 제공한다. 본 연구는 순천만 염하구 해안습지를 대상으로 상이한 시간단위 속에서 진행되는 퇴적률과 조류에 의한 부유하중의 이동패턴 분석을 토대로 해안습지 성장률의 공간적 특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 조석의 일주기간의 퇴적률은 경사변환점이 염생습지보다 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 하구에서 바다로 이동하면서 퇴적률이 감소하였다. 따라서 조석의 일주기간의 퇴적률에서는 갯강과 배후 갯벌사이 경사변환점의 제방효과와 부유하중의 농도가 중요하게 작용하였다. 연간 퇴적률은 염생습지가 경사변환점보다 높은 값을 나타내어 조석의 일주기간의 퇴적률과는 다른 공간적 특성을 보였다. 그러나 하구에서 바다로 이동하면서 퇴적률이 감소하는 것은 동일하였다. 따라서 연간 퇴적률에서는 식생에 의한 부유하중 고착능력과 조류의 정체시간, 부유하중의 농도가 중요하게 작용하였다. 조류내 부유하중의 농도는 전체적으로 썰물시 영생습지를 통과한 직후가 밀물시 경사변환점을 통과한 직후보다 높은 감소율을 나타내었다. 그리고 썰물시 경사변환점을 통과한 직후의 부유하중 농도는 오히려 약간 증가하였는데, 이는 썰물에 의해 경사변환점의 퇴적물이 침식되었기 때문이다. 연구지역의 퇴적률은 시간단위와 지점에 따라 다양한 특성을 보이면서 매우 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 경사변환점은 제방효과에 의한 퇴적과 조류 및 외부요인에 의한 침식이 동시에 일어난 반면, 염생습지는 조류의 정체시간과 식생에 의한 부유하중 포획에 따라 침식보다는 퇴적이 활발하게 일어났다. 따라서 연구지역의 성장률은 갯강을 중심으로 횡적으로는 염생습지가 경사변환점보다 높고, 종적으로하는 하구지점에 가까울수록 높게 나타났다. 특히, 지난 1년간의 성장률은 다른 지역에 비해서 매우 빠른 $0.9{\sim}3.5cm/yr$로 모든 지점에서 퇴적이 침식보다 우세하게 나타났는데, 이는 연구지역이 새로운 퇴적환경으로 전이되고 있는 것과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것이다.

Numerical prediction of nocturnal thermal high in summer of the 1995 near Taegu city located in a basin has been carried out by a non-hydrostatic numerical model over complex terrain through one-way double nesting technique in the Z following coordinate system. Under the prevailing westerly winds, vertical turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat over mountains for daytime hours are quite strong with a large magnitude of more than $120W/\textrm{m}^2$, but a small one of $5W/\textrm{m}^2$ at the surface of the basin. Convective boundary layer (CBL) is developed with a thickness of about 600m over the ground in the lee side of Mt. Hyungje, and extends to the edge of inland at the interface of land sea in the east. Sensible heat flux near the surface of the top of the mountain is $50W/\textrm{m}^2$, but its flux in the basin is almost zero. Convergence of sensible heat flux occurs from the ground surface toward the atmosphere in the lower layer, causing the layer over the mountain to be warmed up, but no convergance of the flux over the basin results from the significant mixing of air within the CBL. As horizontal transport of sensible heat flux from the top of the mountain toward over the basin results in the continuous accumulation of heat with time, enhancing air temperature at the surface of the basin, especially Taegu city to be higher than $39.3^{\circ}C$. Since latent heat fluxes are $270W/\textrm{m}^2$ near the top of the mountain and $300W/\textrm{m}^2$ along the slope of the mountain and the basin, evaporation of water vapor from the surface of the basin is much higher than one from the mountain and then, horizontal transport of latent heat flux is from the basin toward the mountain, showing relative humidity of 65 to 75% over the mountain to be much greater than 50% to 55% in the basin. At night, sensible heat fluxes have negative values of $-120W/\textrm{m}^2$ along the slope near the top of the mountain and $-50W/\textrm{m}^2$ at the surface of the basin, which indicate gain of heat from the lower atmosphere. Nighttime radiative cooling produces a shallow nocturnal surface inversion layer with a thickness of about 100m, which is much lower than common surface inversion layer, and lifts extremely heated air masses for daytime hours, namely, a warm pool of $34^{\circ}C$ to be isolated over the ground surface in the basin. As heat transfer from the warm pool in the lower atmosphere toward the ground of the basin occurs, the air near the surface of the basin does not much cool down, resulting in the persistence of high temperature at night, called nocturnal thermal high or tropical night. High relative humidity of 75% is found at the surface of the basin under the moderate wind, while slightly low relative humidity of 60% is along the eastern slope of the high mountain, due to adiabatic heating by the srong downslope wind. Air temperature near the surface of the basin with high moisture in the evening does not get lower than that during the day and the high temperature produces nocturnal warming situation.
