강우레이더 관측의 정확도는, 호우의 강도나 형태와 같은 기상학적 조건(변동 오차 요소) 외에도, 관측 지점의 레이더로부터의 거리, 고도, 관측유역의 형태나 크기 등 다양한 관측환경 조건(고정 오차 요소)에 의해서도 달라질 수 있기 때문에, 강우레이더 관측의 오차 성분을 정량화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 거리와 고도에 의한 오차 특성을 이중편파 변수의 특성을 이용하여 실증적으로 분석하였고, 이를 통해 감쇠의 영향과 산지효과(또는 지형효과)로 인한 오차 규모를 정량적으로 산정 비교하였다. 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 고도도 높아지기 때문에 QPE 불확실도의 거리와 고도에 따른 성분을 구분하는 것은 매우 어려운데, 거리에 대한 불확실도 성분이 매우 작은 R(KDP)를 이용한다면 효과적으로 분리가 가능하다. 이러한 원리를 이용하여, 관측 거리에 따른 오차가 매우 작은 R(KDP)를 기준으로 관측 거리에 따른 오차와 고도에 따른 오차를 분리하여 표준화[Z-score] 하였다. R(Z)의 경우는 관측 고도와 거리에 따른 오차가 중첩되어 나타나나, R(KDP)는 거리에 따른 오차는 거의 나타나지 않으므로 이를 기본 가정으로 하여 R(Z)와 R(KDP) 관계로부터 관측 고도에 따른 오차 성분만 분리하였다. 분리 결과, 관측 거리에 따른 표준 오차의 경우 100km 까지는 대략 10%(0.1) 이하로 나타났으나, 150km 이상에서는 30%(0.3)를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 관측 고도에 따른 표준 오차의 경우 2~3번째 고도각 까지는 대략10%(0.1) 이하로 나타났으나, 3번째 고도각 이상에서는 20%(0.2), 4번째 고도각 이상에서는 50%(0.5)를 초과하는 것으로 나타나, 고도에 의한 영향이 거리에 의한 영향보다 민감하게 나타났다. 1번째 고도각에서는, 100km 이내 근거리에서 관측 거리가 가까워질수록 오차가 증가하는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 저고도 빔 간섭(빔 차폐) 등의 영향으로 추정되었다.

The goal of this study is to investigate the achievement of street improvement projects based on district unit plans aiming at improving the urban streetscape. Post assessments are conducted for three streetscape improvement projects - Noyu street improvement project, Hanaro street improvement project next to Sungshin women's university, Chatgoshipun street improvement project in front of Ehwa women's university. The results of the post assessment indicate that the initial quality of streetscape has been improved after the projects. The long-term sustainability of the streetscape, however, was not achieved for the street improvement project applied at the street next to Sungshin women's university due to the lack of support from the community. It is found that the key component of success for the street improvement project is the strong cooperation between public and private parties.

This study developed a legibility distance(LD) model for three colors used in VMS according to luminance under foggy conditions through experiments. For this, a simulated environment was created, and LD values of red, green, and yellow color were collected by increasing the luminance. From the test results, the LDs for red at luminance levels of 2,000 cd/㎡ and 20,000 cd/㎡ and a visibility distance of 10m were 10.2m and 18.8m, respectively, which was an improvement of 84%. The LD was improved by 34% and 17% at a visibility distance of 20 m and 30 m, respectively. For green, the LD was improved by 69%, 63%, and 19% at visibility distance of 10m, 20m, 30m, respectively. For yellow, the LD was improved by 100%, 47%, and 36% at visibility distance of 10m, 20m, 30m, respectively. The LD models for three colors were developed by using two independent variables, luminance value and visibility distance. The adjusted coefficients of the red, green, and yellow model equations were calculated as 0.982, 0.978, and 0.915, respectively, and the explanatory power of all models was very high.

The problems to compute the distances or similarities of multiple strings have been vigorously studied in such diverse fields as pattern matching, web searching, bioinformatics, computer security, etc. One well-known method to compare multiple strings in the given set is finding a consensus string which is a representative of the given set. There are two objective functions that are frequently used to find a consensus string, one is the radius and the other is the consensus error. The radius of a string x with respect to a set S of strings is the smallest number r such that the distance between the string x and each string in S is at most r. A consensus string based on radius is a string that minimizes the radius with respect to a given set. The consensus error of a string with respect to a given set S is the sum of the distances between x and all the strings in S. A consensus string of S based on consensus error is a string that minimizes the consensus error with respect to S. In this paper, we show that the problem of finding a consensus string based on radius is NP-complete when the distance function is a metric.

An on-line registration technique is presented to register multi-view range images for the 3D reconstruction of real objects. Using a range camera, we first acquire range images and photometric images continuously. In the range images, we divide object and background regions using a predefined threshold value. For the coarse registration of the range images, the centroid of the images are used. After refining the registration of range images using a projection-based technique, we use a modified KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) tracker to match photometric features in the object images. Using the modified KLT tracker, we can track image features fast and accurately. If a range image fails to register, we acquire new range images and try to register them continuously until the registration process resumes. After enough range images are registered, they are integrated into a 3D model in offline step. Experimental results and error analysis show that the proposed method can be used to reconstruct 3D model very fast and accurately.

The virtual reality (VR) technology has been used as the application of architectural presentation or simulation tool in the field of industry. The high immersion and intuitive visual information are the great merits of design evaluation or environmental simulation when we are using the virtual environments. But the distortion of distance perception in VR is still a big problem when the accuracy of distance presentation is strictly required. For example, distance estimation is especially important when the virtual environments are applied to the presentational tool for evaluation the space design or planning in the field of architecture. If there are some perception error between the built space in real and represented space in virtual, the accurate design evaluation or modification of design is hard to be carried out during the design development stage. In this paper, we have carried out some experiments about distance estimation in the immersive virtual environments to verify the factors and their influence. We made a hypothesis that the lack of the information for the user in VR causes the different distance estimation from the real world because users are usually comfortable with moving fast and long distance in VR environments compared with moving slow and short distance in real space. So, we carried out basic experiment to prove our hypothesis that the lack of information makes subjects estimate the distance of walking in VR shorter compared with the same distance in real. Also, among the factors that probably affect the distance estimation in VR, we have verified the influence of the image resolution. The influence of resolution degradation of image on the distance estimation was verified with the condition of static and dynamic images. The results showed that the resolution has deep relation with the distance estimation. For example, the subject underestimated the distance at the lower resolution condition. We also found the methods of the making the lower resolution image could affect on the visual perception of subjects.

The minimum safe separation distances from LPG filling station was discussed in this work based on the accident data from 1987 to 1998 in south korea, the initial damage of accident, and standards of countries. The safety distances are adequate to reduce ignition probability by released gas and provide space for implementation of emergency response after ignition. Therefore, the distances are related to the distance to LFL(Lower Flammable Limit) and the length of jet fire to prevent accident escalation. The range of the distance was suggested in this work to make standard with considering economic, culture, and safe guards.

A Cheju-leading mungbean cultivar Seonhwanogdu was seeded at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60cm row width with within-row plant spacing of 10cm in mid-June of 1988 to 1990 to determine effects of row width on growth and seed yield of mungbean in Cheju area. Initial flowering and maturing dates were not influenced by the row width. Stem length, pods per plant, seeds per pod, 1000-seed weight linearly decreased as row width decreased because planting density increased. The relationship between seed yield and row width was quadratic, and the optimum row width with within-row plant spacing of 10cm for higher yield of mungbean was 40cm in Cheju.

The straight spatial distance or geodesic distance on WGS84 ellipsoid measured by GPS should be reduced on geoid to be used in Korean Geodetic System. The factors for this reduction are geoidal height and mean radius of the earth. On this study the effects of these factors on reducing distance were analyzed and the result showed that mean geoidal height should be multiplied by $1.6\times{10}^{-7}$ per unit distance for reducing geodesic distance on reference ellipsoid to that on geoid. Condsidering that the geoidal height on Bessel ellipsoid in Korea is -45 m in northeast and -75 m in middle west. It also showed that the difference of geodesic distance between on reference ellipsoid and on geoid is about 7-12 mm per km.

In this paper we provide a methodology that permits test of feasibility of Porter hypothesis under limited data environment by utilizing two types of output distance function: Shephard distance function and directional distance function. The production technology supported by Porter hypothesis is embodied in the directional distance function. The average annual marginal abatement cost for $SO_2$ obtained by estimating the directional distance function is higher than the one obtained with the Shephard distance function by about 50 percent in the Korean electric power industry over the period 1970~1998. This result implies that feasibility of Porter hypothesis depends upon whether investment in production capital and process can bring more than a 50 percent increase in the average productivity.
