기존의 바코드는 정보 배열이 나란히 나열된 선 모양을 가지며 이를 1차원 바코드라 부른다. 이에 반해 2차원 바코드는 점자방식 또는 모자이크방식 코드로 작은 정사각형 도는 직사각형 안에 정보를 표현한다. 2차원 바코드는 기존의 1차원 바코드보다 작은 공간에 많은 데이터를 표현 가능함으로써 보다 효율적인 바코드의 구현이 가능하다. 현재 ISO 국제 표준화된 2차원 바코드는 총 4가지로 분류되는데 QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, MaxiCode가 있다. 본 논문에서는 ISO 국제 표준화된 바코드 중 하나인 Data Matrix의 Base 256 모드에 대한 기본 개념, 구성 방법, 인코딩 및 디코딩 방법을 상세히 제안한다. Data Matrix 심벌에 저장된 데이터를 보다 효율 적으로 구성하기 위해 숫자, Alphanumeric 문자, 이진법에 따라 다른 인코딩, 디코딩 방법을 사용하게 되는데 본 논문에서는 이를 고려한 디코딩 방법에 초점을 맞춰 기술할 것이다.

Conventional bar code has the appearance of line bars and spaces, called as one-dimensional bar code. In contrast, the information in two-dimensional bar code is represented by either a small, rectangular or square with the types of mosaic and Braille. The two-dimensional bar code is much more efficient than one-dimensional bar code because it can allow to store and express large amounts of data in a small space and so far there is also a little information about decoding the Data Matrix in base 256 mode. According to the ISO international standards, there are four kinds of bar code: QR code, Data Matrix, PDF417, and Maxi code. In this paper, among them, we focus on describing the basic concepts of Data Matrix in base 256 mode, how to encode and decode them, and how to organize them in detail. In addition, Data Matrix can be organized efficiently depending on the modes of numeric, alphanumeric characters, and binary system and expecially, we focus on describing how to decode the Data Matrix code by four modes.

바코드 검사기의 성능에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 것은 입력 영상으로부터 바코드 영역을 추출하는 세그먼테이션 과정이며, 기존의 세그먼테이션 기법에는 여러 가지 문제점이 존재한다. 첫째, 허프 직선 변환 방법은 길이 임계값에 매우 민감하여 임계값을 정하는데 어려움이 있다. 둘째, 모폴로지 변환은 영상을 수축, 팽창하는 과정에서 많은 지연시간이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 바코드 검증에서 지연 현상을 해결하고 주변 영향을 적게 받는 해리스 코너 검출 기법 융합형 바코드 영역 검출 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘을 검증하기 위해 실제 라인과 유사한 실험 환경을 구성하고, 다양한 크기의 바코드 영상과 다양한 위치에서의 바코드 영역 추출실험을 하였다. 결과적으로 제안 기법은 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 주변 환경이나 임계값 설정의 어려움과 영상 처리의 지연 문제를 해결하였고 모든 테스트 영상에 대해 바코드 영역을 100% 추출하는 성능을 보였다.

A segmentation process extracts an interesting area of barcode in an image and gives a crucial impart on the performance of barcode verifier. Previous segmentation methods occurs some issues as follows. First, it is very hard to determine a threshold of length in Hough Line transform because it is sensitive. Second, Morphology transform delays the process when you conduct dilation and erosion operations during the image extraction. Therefore, we proposes a novel Converged Harris Corner detection-based segmentation method to detect an interesting area of barcode in Data Matrix. In order to evaluate the performance of proposed method, we conduct experiments by a dataset of barcode in accordance with size and location in an image. In result, our method solves the problems of delay and surrounding environments, threshold setting, and extracts the barcode area 100% from test images

This system has realized efficiency and data automation in medical device management, and in the future, we aim to improve performance and strengthen real-time tracking for stable recognition in various environments.

This study evaluated the possibility to establish the land-use change matrix in the LULUCF(Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry) sector based on the standards of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) by using the permanent sample plot(sampling intensity=4km) of NFI(National Forest Inventory). Land-use was categorized into forest land, cropland, grassland, wetland, settlements, and other land based on the IPCC standards. Forest land was classified by generating circular sample plots(0.5ha) based on the permanent sample plot with considering the minimum area according to the definition of the forest in South Korea. Land-use change matrix was established by reading the 3rd and 4th Forest Aerial Photograph and applying the point sampling technique to the permanent sampling plot at the sampling intensity of 4km over the entire South Korea. The established land-use change matrix results showed that forest land and cropland had the highest annual area ratio followed by settlements, wetland, and grassland. Over time, the area of cropland decreased the most and that of settlements increased the most. The ratio of the retained area was the highest in the forest land(approximately 99.1%) and the lowest in the grassland (approximately 78%). The SE(Standard Error) of the estimated area was the highest in forest land(approximately 64,213ha for the 3rd and approximately 64,143ha for the 4th). However, the RSE(Relative Standard Error), considering the total area, of forest land was the lowest(approximately 1%). It is expected that the national level land-use change matrix statistics can be established by using appropriate reading standards and sampling intensity based on further studies.

Purpose: Objectives of this study were to investigate the association between efficiency and quality of health care in Long-term Care Hospitals (LTCH) and determine related factors that would enable achievement of both high efficiency and high quality at the same time. Methods: Major data sources were the "2012 Korean Assessment of Propriety by Long-term Care Hospitals" obtained from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. Cost variables were supplemented by a National Tax Service accounting document. First, data envelopment analysis was performed by generating efficiency scores for each LTCH. Second, matrix analysis was conducted to ascertain association between efficiency and quality. Lastly, kruskal-wallis and mann-whitney tests were conducted to identify related factors. Results: First, efficiency and quality of care are not in a relationship of trade-offs; thus, LTCH can be confident that high efficiency-high quality can be achieved. Second, LTCH with a large number of beds, longer tenure of medical personnel, and adequate levels of investment were more likely to have improved quality as well as efficiency. Conclusion: It is essential to enforce legal standards appropriate to the facilities, reduce turnover of nursing staff, and invest properly in human resources. These consequences will help LTCH to maintain the balance of high efficiency-high quality in the long-run.

현재 극한기상의 발생빈도가 많아지면서 극한기상현상이 발생하였을 때 피해규모는 증가하고 있다. 이게 과거부터 강우량의 예측을 위해 많은 시간과 제원을 투자하여 예측정보를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 정보는 전문가가 아닌 일반인이 이해하기 어려우며 특히 극한기상현상이 발생하였을 때 어느정도의 규모의 피해가 발생하는지에 대한 정보는 포함되어 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영국에서 최초로 제시한 Risk Matrix 작성을 통해 영향예보 기준을 활용하여 호우피해 등급기준 Risk Matrix를 제시하였다. 먼저 강우량 자료와 피해자료와의 상관 분석을 통해 Risk Matrix 작성에 필요한 변수를 선정하고 선행연구에서 제시된 PERCENTILE (25%, 75%, 90%, 95%)과 JNBC(Jenks Natural Breaks Classification)기법을 이용하여 강우량과 피해에 따른 등급기준을 산정하여 두 개의 등급기준을 합성하여 하나의 기준을 제시하였다. 분석 결과에 이재민 세대수 결과의 경우 가장 많은 피해가 발생하였던 영산강, 섬진강유역에서 JNBC 보다 PERCENTILE이 가장 많은 분포를 보였으며, 충청도 지역에서는 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 강우량의 등급화 결과를 살펴보면 PERCENTILE보다 JNBC의 등급이 높게 산정되었으며, 특히 전라도 지역과 충청도 지역에서 가장 큰 등급을 나타내었다. 또한 피해지역 호우특보 현황과 비교해 보면 JNBC가 유사한 것을 확인할 수 있다. Risk Matrix 결과에서 가장 피해가 심했던 세종, 대전, 충남, 충북, 광주, 전남, 전북지역을 살펴보면 PERCENTILE보다 JNBC가 잘 모사한 것을 확인하였다.

Currently, as the frequency of extreme weather events increases, the scale of damage increases when extreme weather events occur. This has been providing forecast information by investing a lot of time and resources to predict rainfall from the past. However, this information is difficult for non-experts to understand, and it does not include information on how much damage occurs when extreme weather events occur. Therefore, in this study, a risk matrix based on heavy rain damage rating was presented by using the impact forecasting standard through the creation of a risk matrix presented for the first time in the UK. First, through correlation analysis between rainfall data and damage data, variables necessary for risk matrix creation are selected, and PERCENTILE (25%, 75%, 90%, 95%) and JNBC (Jenks Natural Breaks Classification) techniques suggested in previous studies are used. Therefore, a rating standard according to rainfall and damage was calculated, and two rating standards were synthesized to present one standard. As a result of the analysis, in the case of the number of households affected by the disaster, PERCENTILE showed the highest distribution than JNBC in the Yeongsan River and Seomjin River basins where the most damage occurred, and similar results were shown in the Chungcheong-do area. Looking at the results of rainfall grading, JNBC's grade was higher than PERCENTILE's, and the highest grade was shown especially in Jeolla-do and Chungcheong-do. In addition, when comparing with the current status of heavy rain warnings in the affected area, it can be confirmed that JNBC is similar. In the risk matrix results, it was confirmed that JNBC replicated better than PERCENTILE in Sejong, Daejeon, Chungnam, Chungbuk, Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeonbuk regions, which suffered the most damage.

Business data means data of all the documents and electronically generated on / off-line form, storage, use, and transfer the company work process. Business, organization, sales, marketing, means any data related to shipping. Many companies are investing in privacy. But not so for business data. In most companies, secret, confidential rating already exists, the basis is insufficient to establish that decisions can be analyzed in detail to reflect the actual business data in use. In this paper we want to present the criteria that can offer ways to design your business data decision matrix to establish the qualitative and quantitative criteria (evaluation indicators) that can be classified business data and protected by each class.

Cloud Computing is a paradigm to provide the services like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). Virtualization technology plays an important role to provide these services. Due to lack of finance as well as requirement, data center providers are unable to establish data centers all over the world. To provide better Quality of Service (QoS) and maintain Service Level Agreement (SLA), data center providers collaborate with other data center which is named as a Federated Cloud. Load balancing process distributes the load or service request among the data centers by implementing distribution policies. Depending on the policies, the central manager chooses the location to deploy the virtual machine. This paper proposes the data center selection algorithm in a federated cloud to optimize the cost as well to improve the performance.

Big Data is becoming more and more significant these years since our daily life is facing huge number of data as the millions of electronic devices. Big Data is not only with the huge volume or size, but also with the high complexity. This paper presents a multi-dimensional matrix model for analyzing the large text datasets based on the attributes, which come from the key words from the texts. These key words form an N dimensional space. Thus, the individual information could be presented by an M×N matrix. The multi-dimensional matrix approach has been compared with GA and PSO algorithm so as to test the efficiency and effectiveness of different approaches on analyzing the text datasets. From the experiments, it is observed that the proposed approach outperforms GA and PSO in sufficiency and computational cost. Some key findings are: For high dimensional Big Text Data, at the beginning, PSO has the best sufficiency from 0 to 10. After that, from 10 to 1000, the prosed multi-dimensional matrix approach significantly outperforms GA and PSO. For Connect-4 data samples, the time cost of proposed approach is only 352153.6 unit of time, while GA takes 613601.4 which is more of about half the time cost and PSO takes 469464.1.

Due to big data with related multi-dimensional characteristics, the effective means how to build processing mechanisms and algorithms are still problems; so that the algorithms on big data processing huge resources and time cost of computing, resulting in wasting of energy; for this problem the present study proposes a large data processing algorithm of random matrix theory application, can effectively improve the processing efficiency, thereby increasing the utilization of energy. Results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the amount of calculation, thus saving and calculating the required energy.

Concrete compressive strength is one of the most important factors leading to building construction, in the civil engineering context. While evaluating such data, quantitative analysis required. As it is known that, concrete as a non-homogeneous material, consists of separate phases. The more complicated the concrete, the higher is the compressive strength. But if missing value exists in the microstructure of concrete, then it may provide some unusual effect on the compressive strength of concrete. Thus it is required to deal with the analysis of missing values. In this study traditional and modern estimation techniques of missing values are performed and the effect of these methods on correlation matrix is observed along with their comparison. The result shows that, modern techniques provide efficient estimates compared to traditional method. .The analysis described here were undertaken in the SPSS 13.0 packages.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to decode Data Matrix two dimensional barcode symbology. We employ hough transform and bilinear image warping to extract the barcode region from the image scanned using a CMOS digital camera. The location of barcode can be found by applying Hough transform. However, barcode image should be warped due to the nonlinearity of lens and the viewing angle of camera. In this paper, bilinear warping transform is adopted to wa게 and align the barcode region of the scanned image. Codeword can be detected from the aligned barcode region.

2차원 바코드는 2차원인 점자식 코드로서 낮은 공간점유, 높은 정보, 다양한 정보처리 기능이 가능한 차세대 라벨링 기법이다. 즉, 2차원(2D) 심볼로지는 양축(X 방향, Y 방향)으로 데이터를 배열시켜 평면화 시킨것으로서 기존의 일차원(1D) 바코드 심볼로지가 가지는 문제점인 데이터 표현의 제한성, 즉 선적용 패키지와 같은 로트 번호, 구매 주문 번호, 수취자, 수랑 기타 정보 등의 다양한 내용을 바코드로 표현하여 대상물에 부착하거나 동반시킴으로써 1750년대 중반에 등장하게 되었고, 현재 많은 부분에서 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 많이 쓰이는 2 차원 바코드 중 하나인 Data Matrix 의 구성과 디코딩 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Meaningful logos or random sequences have been used in the current digital watermarking techniques of 2D bar code. The meaningful logos can not only be created by copyright holders based on their unique information, but are also very effective when representing their copyrights. The random sequences enhance the security of the watermark for verifying one's copyrights against intentional or unintentional attacks. In this paper, we propose a new watermarking technique taking advantage of Data Matrix as well as encryption keys. The Data Matrix not only recovers the original data by an error checking and correction algorithm, even when its high-density data storage and barcode are damaged, but also encrypts the copyright verification information by randomization of the barcode, including ownership keys. Furthermore, the encryption keys and the patterns are used to localize the watermark, and make the watermark robust against attacks, respectively. Through the comparison experiments of the copyright information extracted from the watermark, we can verify that the proposed method has good quality and is robust to various attacks, such as JPEG compression, filtering and resizing.

The heat conduction equation, a type of a Poisson equation which can be applied in various areas of engineering is calculating its value with the iteration method in general. The equation which had difference discretization of the heat conduction equation is the simultaneous equation, and each line has the characteristic of expressing in sparse matrix of the equivalent number of none-zero elements with neighboring grids. In this paper, we propose a data structure for sparse matrix that can calculate the value faster with less memory use calculate the heat conduction equation. To verify whether the proposed data structure efficiently calculates the value compared to the other sparse matrix representations, we apply the representative iteration method, CG (Conjugate Gradient), and presents experiment results of time consumed to get values, calculation time of each step and relevant time consumption ratio, and memory usage amount. The results of this experiment could be used to estimate main elements of calculating the value of the general heat conduction equation, such as time consumed, the memory usage amount.

Data matrices are widely used in the automotive, aerospace and computer manufacturing industries. In industry, they are used to identify objects used in process control. In this paper, we focus on detecting data matrices where a camera is configured to see it in a perpendicular direction that is typical in machine vision applications. In this case, the image projection can be modeled as a similarity transform. Data matrices are attached or marked by laser on the surface of objects, and have L-shaped solid lines which act as references for decoding. Under a similarity transform, distances from the center of a data matrix to each side of the L-shape are equal. This symmetric property is used to detect a data matrix, and experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

Marine radars are affected by sea and rain clutters, which can make target discrimination difficult. The clutter standard deviation and improvement factor are applied using multiple parameters-moving speed of radar, antenna speed, angle, etc. When a radar signal is processed, a Data Matrix Bank (DMB) filter can be applied to remove sea clutters. This filter allows detection of a target, and since it is not affected by changes in adjacent clutters resulting from a multi- target signal, sea state clutters can be removed. In this paper, we study the level for clutter removal and the method for target detection. In addition, we design a signal processing algorithm for marine radars, analyze the performance of the DMB filter algorithm, and provide a DMB filter algorithm design. We also perform a DMB filter algorithm analysis and simulation, and then apply this to the DMB filter and cell-average constant false alarm rate design to show comparative results.

This study deals with the part-machine grouping (PMG) that considers realistic manufacturing factors, such as the machine duplication, operation sequences with multiple visits to the same machine, and production volumes of parts. Basically, this study is an extension of Won(2006) that has adopted fuzzy ART neural network to group parts and machines. The proposed fuzzy ART neural network algorithm is implemented with an ancillary procedure to enhance the block diagonal solution by rearranging the order of input presentation. Computational experiments applied to large-size PMG data sets with a psuedo-replicated clustering procedure show effectiveness of the proposed approach.
