Bilateral filter (BF) is a nonlinear filter for sharpness enhancement and noise removal. The BF performs the function by the two Gaussian filters, the domain filter and the range filter. To apply the BF to infrared (IR) small target detection, the standard deviation of the two Gaussian filters need to be changed adaptively between the background region and the target region. This paper presents a new BF with the adaptive standard deviation based on the analysis of the edge component of the local window, also having the variable filter size. This enables the BF to perform better and become more suitable in the field of small target detection Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust and efficient than the conventional methods.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possibility for the coffee filter paper of Hanji. In this study, the samples for Hanji filter papers were prepared with three different mulberry fiber contents of 10, 30 and 50%(w/w). Surface brightness and apparent density of hand-made Hanji decreased with increasing mulberry fiber contents. However, values of thickness, tensile strength, wet tensile strength, burst strength, and folding endurance for hand-made Hanji increased by increasing the contents of mulberry fibers due to fiber-to-fiber bonding. The results of the coffee extraction test using the developed filter papers showed no significant differences between commercial filter paper and Hanji filter paper. Therefore, Hanji filter paper containing more than 30%(w/w) mulberry fiber may have potential uses for the dripped coffee filter application from a physical property point of view.

Tracking hands is an essential technique for hand gesture recognition which is an efficient way in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). Recently, many researchers have focused on hands tracking using a 3D hand model and showed robust tracking results compared to using 2D hand models. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D hand tracking method based on a coupled particle filter. This provides robust and fast tracking results by estimating each part of global hand poses and local finger motions separately and then utilizing the estimated results as a prior for each other. Furthermore, in order to improve the robustness, we apply a multi-cue based method by integrating a color-based area matching method and an edge-based distance matching method. In our experiments, the proposed method showed robust tracking results for complex hand motions in a cluttered background.

Recent two security schemes showed that a bloom filter can reduce a message length required for representing multiple MACs. The schemes, however, made message length comparison without considering security level. Since the MAC is intended for security, it is important to let multiple MACs and the bloom filter have the same level of security for making message length comparison. In this paper, we analyze the message length efficiency of bloom filter, compressed bloom filter and multiple MACs, letting them have the same security level.

We propose a weighted time-reversal prefilter for indoor wireless communication systems. In the indoor wireless communication environments, the bit error rate (BER) performance is significantly degraded by the delay spread. The conventional schemes have complex receivers to recover deterioration of the BER. The proposed time-reversal prefilter simplifies the structure of receivers, minimizes the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and maintains the peak power level of the received signal. The simulation results show that the weighted time-reversal prefilter improves the BER performance in comparison with the conventional time-reversal prefilter.

In this paper, we proposed a new audio fingerprint extraction method, based on Philips' music retrieval algorithm, which uses the energy difference of neighboring filter-bank and probabilistic characteristics of music. Since Philips method uses too many filter-banks in limited frequency band, it may cause audio fingerprints to be highly sensitive to additive noises and to have too high correlation between neighboring bands. The proposed method improves robustness to noises by reducing the number of filter-banks while it maintains the discriminative power by representing the energy difference of bands with 2 bits where the quantization levels are determined by probabilistic characteristics. The correlation which exists among 4 different levels in 2 bits is not only utilized in similarity measurement. but also in efficient reduction of searching area. Experiments show that the proposed method is not only more robust to various environmental noises (street, department, car, office, and restaurant), but also takes less time for database search than Philips in the case where music is highly degraded.

In this paper, we consider the optimal fuzzy filter of nonlinear discrete-time with estimation error variance constraint. First, the Takagi and Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy model is employed to approximate the nonlinear system. Next, the error state is mean square bounded, and the steady state variance of the estimation error of each state is not more than the individual predefined value. It is shown that, the addressed problem can be carried out by solving linear matrix inequality(LMI) and some algebraic quadratic matrix inequalities. Finally, some examples are provided to illustrate the design procedure and expected performance through simulations.
