This paper introduces the concept of warped discrete cosine transform (WDCT) and an image compression algorithm based on the WDCT. The proposed WDCT is a cascade connection of a conventional DCT and all-pass filters whose parameters can be adjusted to provide frequency warping. In the proposed image compression scheme, the frequency response of the all-pass filter is controlled by a set of parameters with each parameter for a specified frequency range. For each image block, the best parameter is chosen from the set and is sent to the decoder as a side information along with the result of corresponding WDCT computation. For actual implementation, the combination of the all-pass IIR filters and the DCT can be viewed as a cascade of a warping matrix and the DCT matrix, or as a filter bank which is obtained by warping the frequency response of the DCT filter bank. Hence, the WDCT can be implemented by a single matrix computation like the DCT. The WDCT based compression, outperforms the DCT based compression, for high bit rate applications and for images with high frequency components.

On the advent of digital era, ECDIS has emerged as a new navigation aid that should result in significant benefits to safe navigation. More than simply a graphics display, ECDIS is a new concept navigation system capable of providing integrated information of geographical and texual data. As an official vector data for ECDIS, ENC consists of spatial and feature data to describe objects in form of points, lines and areas. IHO published International Standards for ENC, such as S-52(Specification for Chart Content and Display Aspects of ECDIS) and S-57(IHO Transfer Standard for Digital Hydrographic Data). This paper deals with the implementation of an ENC representation system which meets S-52 presentation specification and S-57 transfer standards by analyzing S-57 data structures and converting them to an appropriate internal data structures and representing them onto screen adopting S-52 presentation specification.

In this article, we propose a different modeling approach, which aims at the simulation optimization so as to meet the design specification. Generally, Multi objective optimization problem is formulated by dependent factors as objective functions and independent factors as constraints. However, this paper presents the critical(dependent) factors as objective function and design(independent) factors as constraints for the selection of design factors directly. The objective function is normalized far the generalization of design factors while the constraints are composed of the simulation-based regression metamodels fer the critical factors and design factor's domain. Then the effective and fast solution procedure based on the pareto optimal solution set is proposed. This paper provides a comprehensive framework for the system design using the simulation and metamodels. Therefore, the method developed for this research can be adopted for other enhancements in different but comparable situations.

최근 애매성이 수반되는 정보를 Zadeh는 멤버쉽함수(membership function)를 이용하여 새로운 정보처리 방식으로서 퍼지이론을 제안하였고, 그후 의료계에서도 퍼지이론을 도입한 진단법들이 제안되었다. 회전기계의 이상진단법으로는 주파수득점법(Point counting method), 퍼지역연산법(Inverse method of fuzzy theory)등이 보고되고 있으며, 저자들도 퍼지이론을 이용하여 구름베어링의 결함진단, 회전기계의 간이 이상진단법등을 보고하였다. 이들은 주로 진동주파수의 스펙트럼 데이터 만을 이용하고 있고, 다른 많은 데이터를 복합적으로 이용할 수 없다. 이 때문에 주로 소규모 문제의 간이진단에서는 효과적이나 진단대상이 복잡하고 대규모로 되면 보다 정확한 원인 추정이 곤란하게 된다. 또한 수치데이터만을 취급할 수 있으므로 진동전문가가 진단에 이용하는 각종의 수치화 될 수 없는 데이터(언어적인 정보)가 취급될 수 없다. 따라서 이들의 진단법은 개략적인 진단은 가능하나 상세한 원인까지는 진단할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 회전기계의 이상판단시 참고가 되는 각종 정보로는 주로 진동진폭의 크기, 진폭과 위상의 변화, 진폭의 변화, 진동파형, 진동벡터의 시간변화 등이 있고, 이들은 수치적으로 표현할 수 있는 계량데이터와 판단의 경계가 불명확한 언어정보(범위데이터)로 나눌 수 있다. 후자는 애매성(fuzziness)을 많이 포함하고 있으며, 엄밀히 측정되는 수치데이터에서도 퍼지성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 언어적인 정보의 애매성을 퍼지추론에서는 [수치적 진리치](numeric truth)와 [언어적 진리치](linguistic truth)의 개념으로 표현하게 되었다. 수치적 진리치는 확실함의 척도를 [0,1] 사이의 수치를 이용하여 표현하고 있으며, 이 수치는 소견의 확실도로서 가능성을 표현한 것이다. 예를 들면, 진동진폭 스펙트럼상에 2X 성분이 상당히 크게 나타나 정렬불량의 가능성이 0.7 정도라고 판정하는 것 등은 이러한 수치적진리치를 이용하는 방법이다. 그러나 상기의 수치적 표현만으로는 확실도를 한개의 수치로서 대표하게 하는 것은 진단의 정밀도에 문제가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 언어적진리치가 도입되어 [상당히 확실], [확실], [약간 확실] 등의 언어적인 표현을 이용하여 애매성을 표현하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 간이진단 결과로부터 추출된 애매한 진단결과중에서 가장 가능성이 높은 이상원인을 복수로 선정하고, 여러 종류의 수치화할 수 없는 언어적(linguistic)인 정보ㄷㄹ을 if-then 형식의 퍼지추론으로 종합하는 회전기계의 이상진단을 위한 정밀진단 알고리즘을 제안하고 그 유용성을 검토한다.

This paper is discussed about the technology of the performance enhancement in the wireless communication between indoor and outdoor environments. In the outdoor wireless communication, the signal has mainly a severe degradation by the fading effect of channel, but that problem may be overcome by using ordinary multiple antenna technology and array signal processing algorithm. Hence, since the channel has the characteristics of both fading and angle spread in the wireless communication between indoor and outdoor, the ordinary technology cannot solve the signal degradation due to the angle spread. In order to solve the problem, in this paper, the characteristic of the wireless channel between indoor and outdoor is first analyzed and considered the channel models fit to that case. We propose the new multiple antenna algorithm by use of mean steering vector concept, and obtained the results of the performance enhancement. With the results of the performance analyses through of the numerical study and computer simulation, we show that the proposed algorithm has more enhanced signal to noise ratio than the previous algorithm.

For single image super resolution (SR), interpolation based and example based algorithms are extensively used. The interpolation algorithms have the strength of theoretical simplicity. However, those algorithms are tending to produce high resolution images with jagged edges, because they are not able to use more priori information. Example based algorithms have been studied in the past few years. For example based SR, the nearest neighbor based algorithms are extensively considered. Among them, neighbor embedding (NE) has been inspired by manifold learning method, particularly locally linear embedding. However, the sizes of local training sets are always too small. So, NE algorithm is weak in the performance of the visuality and quantitative measure by the poor generalization of nearest neighbor estimation. An improved NE algorithm with Support Vector Regression (SVR) was proposed to solve this problem. Given a low resolution image, the pixel values in its high resolution version are estimated by the improved NE. Comparing with bicubic and NE, the improvements of 1.25 dB and 2.33 dB are achieved in PSNR. Experimental results show that proposed method is quantitatively and visually more effective than prior works using bicubic interpolation and NE.

Contourlet transform is an extention of the wavelet transform in two dimensions using the multiscale and directional fillet banks. The contourlet transform has the advantages of multiscale and time-frequency-localization properties of wavelets, but also provides a high degree of directionality. In this paper, we propose a face recognition system based on fusion methods using contourlet transform and PCA. After decomposing a face image into directional subband images by contourlet, features are obtained in each subband by PCA. Finally, face recognition is performed by fusion technique that effectively combines similarities calculated respectively In each local subband. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments for ORL and CBNU dataset, and then we obtained better recognition performance in comparison with the results produced by conventional methods.

Among the Example based Super Resolution(SR) techniques, Neighbor embedding(NE) has been inspired by manifold learning method, particularly locally linear embedding. However, the poor generalization of NE decreases the performance of such algorithm. The sizes of local training sets are always too small to improve the performance of NE. We propose the Learning Sparse-Neighbor Image Representation baesd on SVR having an excellent generalization ability to solve this problem. Given a low resolution image, we first use bicubic interpolation to synthesize its high resolution version. We extract the patches from this synthesized image and determine whether each patch corresponds to regions with high or low spatial frequencies. After the weight of each patch is obtained by our method, we used to learn separate SVR models. Finally, we update the pixel values using the previously learned SVRs. Through experimental results, we quantitatively and qualitatively confirm the improved results of the proposed algorithm when comparing with conventional interpolation methods and NE.

A reliability based design approach of the tunnel reinforcement with umbrella arch method was considered to better represent the uncertainties of the weak rock properties around the tunnel. For this, a machine learning approach called an Adaptive Support Vector Machine (ASVM) together with the limit equilibrium method were introduced to minimize the iteration numbers during the classification training of the tunnel stability. The proposed method was compared with the results of typical Monte Carlo simulations. It was concluded that the ASVM was very efficient and accurate to calculate the probability of failure having auxiliary umbrella arches and uncertain material properties of the tunnel. Future work will be concentrated on the refinement of the fast adaptation of the SVM classification so that the minimum number of numerical analyses can be used where the limit solution is not available.

Max-plus algebra is a nonlinear system comprised of two operations, maximization (max) and addition (Plus), which are corresponding to the addition and the multiplication in conventional algebra, respectively. This methodology is applicable to many discrete event systems containing the state transition with the maximization and addition operation. Timetable with connection is one of such systems. We present the method based on max-plus algebra, which can make up timetable considering transfer and analyse its stability and robustness. In this study, it will be shown how to make up the timetable of the urban train and analyse its stability using Max-Plus algebra.
