YUN, Byoung-Ju,HONG, Hee-Dong,CHOI, Ho-Hyoung The Institute of Electronics, Information and Comm 2012 IEICE transactions on information and systems Vol.95 No.4

<P>Poor illumination and viewing conditions have negativeinfluences on the quality of an image, especially the contrast of the dark and bright region. Thus, captured and displayed images usually need contrast enhancement. Histogram-based or gamma correction-based methods are generally utilized for this. However, these methods are global contrast enhancement method, and since the sensitivity of the human eye changes locally according to the position of the object and the illumination in the scene, the global contrast enhancement methods have a limit. The spatial adaptive method is needed to overcome these limitations and it has led to the development of an integrated surround retinex (ISR), and estimation of dominant chromaticity (EDC) methods. However, these methods are based on Gray-World Assumption, and they use a general image formation model, so the color constancy is known to get poor results, shown through graying-out, halo-artifacts (ringing effects), and the dominated color. This paper presents a contrast enhancement method using a modified image formation model in which the image is divided into three components: global illumination, local illumination and reflectance. After applying the power constant value to control the contrast in the resulting image, the output image is obtained from their product to avoid or minimize a color distortion, based on the sRGB color representation. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields better performances than conventional methods.</P>

김인철(IN-CHUL KIM),박영우(YOUNG-WOO PARK),권혁민(HYUCK-MIN KWEON) 한국해양공학회 2004 韓國海洋工學會誌 Vol.18 No.4

Specially shaped concrete blocks are used for the armor layer of rubble structure for breakers, seawalls, or other shore protection work. In this study, the hydraulic characteristics of the Modified-Tribar(MTB), which addresses the shortcomings of the Arch-Tribar, and the most widely used Tetrapod(TTP) in Korea are examined through hydraulic model tests. The MTB are much more stable than the TTP, as shown through the stability model tests under non-breaking and non-overtopping condition. The value of the stability coefficient(KD) was obtained at around 30. The model tests show that the TTP random two layers and MTB uniform 1.5 layers have similar effects, but the MTB one layer shows slightly low effects in dissipating wave energy. The TTP random two layer model is the most effective in reducing wave overtopping rate, under overtopping condition, while the MTB uniform one layer and the MTB uniform 1.5 layer models follow respectively.

최근 수기에 의한 맵핑 방식을 탈피하고자 고해상도 카메라, 레이저스캐너 등의 장비를 이용한 디지털 맵핑에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며 관련 연구도 보고된바 있다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도 화상기술이 연동된 레이저스캐너를 활용하여 굴진면의 공학적 특징 중 하나인 풍화도를 정량적으로 분석 및 산출하고자 실내 및 현장시험을 수행하였다. 레이저스캐너의 반사율(reflectance)값과 풍화도의 상관관계를 분석하고자 현장테스트를 통해 반사율에 영향을 미치는 인자를 파악하였다. 또 한 반사율에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자 중 하나인 색상값(RGB value)에 대한 영향을 최소화하고자 실내테스트를 통해 보정식 을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 보정식은 실제 현장에서 취득한 스캐닝 데이터를 이용하여 보정 전과 후의 결과를 비교 하여 검증하였다. 검증결과 보정 반사율 값을 통해 산정된 풍화도 index는 현장에서 관찰된 우세 풍화도 등급 및 풍화도 비율 등과 매우 유사한 결과를 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. Recently, to improve manual mapping method, digital mapping using high-resolution camera and laser scanner has increasingly attracted attention and the relevant study is reportedly on the rise. In this study, laboratory and field test which are intended to quantitatively analyze and estimate the weathering degree which is one of the engineering characteristics of tunnel face using laser scanner that integrates high-solution imaging technique have been conducted. In a bid to analyze correlation between reflectance of laser scanner and weathering degree, investigation of the factors influencing on reflectance was carried out. And to minimize the effect on RGB value which is one the critical influential factors on reflectance, modification equation obtained from lab test was proposed. Modification equation proposed in this study was verified by comparing the values before and after correction using the data obtained by scanning. Consequently, weathering index estimated by modified reflectance appeared very similar with dominant weathering degree and weathering ratio monitored at the field.

The purpose of this study was to test the effects of modified self-reflection notes (M-SRN) on the critical thinking abilities and selfdirected learning abilities of nursing students. The students of a theory-based adult nursing class were asked to do M-SRNs. The data was collected from 226 third year nursing students, once at the beginning of the semester and again towards the end of the semester. A paired t-test was used for data analysis. As for the results of this study, the mean score for critical thinking abilities of the nursing students increased from 3.40 to 3.66. This difference in the mean score for critical thinking abilities was statistically significant. The mean score of the self-directed learning abilities also significantly increased from 3.11 to 3.37. In conclusion, modified self-reflection notes should be considered a helpful tool for students to improve their critical thinking and self-directed learning abilities.

Determination of Protein Content in Pea by Near Infrared Spectroscopy

Jin Hwan Lee,Myoung-Gun Choung 한국식품과학회 2009 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.18 No.1

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used as a rapid and non-destructive method to determine the protein content in intact and ground seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L.) germplasms grown in Korea. A total of 115 samples were scanned in the reflectance mode of a scanning monochromator at intact seed and flour condition, and the reference values for the protein content was measured by auto-Kjeldahl system. In the developed ground and intact NIRS equations for analysis of protein, the most accurate equation were obtained at 2, 8, 6, 1 math treatment conditions with standard normal variate and detrend scatter correction method and entire spectrum (400-2,500 ㎚) by using modified partial least squares regression (n=78). External validation (n=34) of these NIRS equations showed significant correlation between reference values and NIRS estimated values based on the standard error of prediction (SEP), R², and the ratio of standard deviation of reference data to SEP. Therefore, these ground and intact NIRS equations can be applicable and reliable for determination of protein content in pea seeds, and non-destructive NIRS method could be used as a mass analysis technique for selection of high protein pea in breeding program and for quality control in food industry.

도영수,김광우 한국도로학회 2000 한국도로학회논문집 Vol.2 No.4

본 연구는 아스팔트 덧씌우기 포장에 야기되는 반사균열 실내 시험을 통해 여러 보강된 혼합물의 반사균열 저항성에 따른 피로수명을 추정하기 위해 수행되었다. 아스팔트 개질재로는 LDPE, SBS 및 카본블랙을 이용하였고 보강재로는 합성섬유(PF), 비닐(PV), 그리드 (GG)를 이용하였다. 공시체 몰드 바닥에 보강재를 미리 깐후 배합설계를 통해 얻은 아스팔트 혼합물을 부어 공시체를 제조하였다. 반복하중 하에서 균열이 있는 시멘트 콘크리트 위에 부착된 아스팔트 콘크리트 공시체 하단의 수평변위를 측정하여 각 혼합물별 균열지연에 따른 반사균열 피로수명을 추정하였다. 본 연구의 반사균열 실험 결과를 토대로 균열진전에 따른 각 혼합물별 피로수명에 대하여 이론적인 예측식을 개발 제안하였으며 예측식에 의한 추정치와 실측치와의 상관관계가 상당히 높게 ($r^2=0.95$이상) 나타났다. This study was performed to estimate fatigue life of polymer-modified and reinforced overlay asphalt mixtures with respect to reflection cracking in asphalt overlay pavement. In order to achieve the goal, the expedited reflection cracking test method was developed and applied to various mixtures and the results were compared one another with respect to the resistant characteristics of reflection cracking. The theoretical prediction equation of fatigue life for each mixture was suggested based on statistical analysis of experimental test results in the flexural failure mode. Since coefficients of correlation between estimated values and measured values were very high ($r^2=0.95$ or higher), the prediction model can be used for relative comparison of various pavement overlay choices to be used in the field.
