In this paper, we implement a sound-enhanced MPEG-1 audio decoder on embedded OS Platform. Low bit rate lossy audio codecs such as MP3, OGG, and AAC for mitigating the problems in storage space and network bandwidth suffer a major common problem such as a loss of high frequency fidelity of audio signal. This high frequency loss will reproduce only a band-limited low-frequency part of audio in the standard CD-quality audio. In order to overcome this problem, we embedded a sound enhancement algorithm into the MPEG-1 audio decoder and then the algorithms optimized according to the characteristic of the MPEG-1 audio layer I, II, III were implemented on an embedded OS platform. From the experimental results with spectrum analysis and listening test, we confirm the superiority of the proposed system compared to the standard MPEG-1 audio decoder.

In this paper we consider the problem of the existing TCAS-II systems that fail to be satisfactory solution to mid-air collisions (MACs) and near mid-air collisions (NMACs or near misses). This is attributed to the fact that the earlier studies on the collision avoidance mainly have focused on determination logic of avoidance direction and vertical speed, reversal of the avoidance direction, multiple aircraft geometry, and availability in certain air spaces. But, the influence of sensor measurement errors on the performance of collision avoidance was not properly taken into account. Here we propose a new TCAS algorithm by using Kalman filter instead of '${\alpha}-{\beta}$' tracker to improve the avoidance performance under the influence of barometric sensor errors due to air-temperature, pressure leaks, static source error correction, etc.

Direct Georeferencing(DG) Is based on the direct measurement of the projection centers and rotation angle of sensor through loading the GPS and INS in aircraft. The methods can offer us to acquire the exterior orientation parameters with only minimum GCPs, even the ground control process could be completely skipped. Hence, as long as securing Digital Elevation Model (DEM), it is feasible to generate digital orthophotos without performing the aerial triangulation with Ground Control Point (GCP) surveying. In this study, the DEM is automatically generated by using a image matching technique based on aerial photos and exterior orientation parameters. This is followed by producing an orthophoto from these results. Finally, accuracy analysis of the georeferencing technique for generating orthoimage indicates that RMS errors of 62cm and 76cm occurred at the X and the Y axis, respectively. This means that the results fulfill the demanding accuracy of the 1:5000 digital map. Hence, it is possible to conclude from this study that the direct georeferencing based orthoimage generation method is able to effectively digital map update.

Since the MPEG-4 visual standard enables content-based functionalities, it is necessary to extract video object from natural video sequences. Segmentation algorithms can largely be classified into automatic segmentation and user-assisted segmentation. In this paper, we propose a user-assisted VOP generation method based on the geometric active contour. Since the geometric active contour, unlike the parametric active contour, employs the level set method to evolve the curve, we can draw the initial curve independent of the shape of the object. In order to generate the edge function from a smoothed image, we propose a vector-valued diffusion process in the LUV color space. We also present a discrete 3-D diffusion model for easy implementation. By combining the curve shrinkage in the vector field space with the curve expansion in the empty vector space, we can make accurate extraction of visual objects from video sequences.

This paper presents a new method which is calculated to use only three vanishing points in order to compute the dimensions of object and its pose from a single image of perspective projection taken by a camera. Our approach is to only compute three vanishing points without informations such as the focal length and rotation matrix from images in the case of perspective projection. We assume that the object can be modeled as a linear function of a dimension vector v. The input of reconstruction is a set of correspondences between features in the model and features in the image. To minimize each the dimensions of the parameterized models, this reconstruction of optimization can be solved by standard nonlinear optimization techniques with a multi-start method which generates multiple starting points for the optimizer by sampling the parameter space uniformly.

Measurement uncertainty assessment is very important in measurement and calibration. RRL provides antenna calibration services for EMI test. Reliability of EMI test depends on accurate antenna calibration. Antenna calibration results have to be accompanied with measurement uncertainty for its better reliability. In the late of 2005, CISPR issued the CISPR/A/644/C which describes the antenna calibration and measurement uncertainty. In this paper, on the basis of CISPR/A/644/C, we provide the measurement uncertainty values for dipole antenna calibration at the Calibration Test Site(CALTS) of Icheon. The antenna calibration method is 3-antenna height-scanning-averaging method, which measures the free-space antenna factor. We also considered all uncertainty sources that can affect measurement results during calibration.

In this paper, we present a transcoding algorithm for converting an MPEG-2 video bitstream to an H.264 bitstream. The proposed transcoder consists of two parts. One is MPEG2 decoding part and the other is H.264 encoding part Because our algorithm is for transcoding in the spatial domain, MPEG2 decoding part carries out full decoding of MPEG2 bitstream. While, because macroblock type and coded block pattern in MPEG2 are significantly related to macroblock mode in H.264, macroblock mode is selected adaptively according to macroblock type and coded block pattern in H.264 decoding part. Furthermore, motion vector is also used as side-information for 16$\ctimes$16 macroblock mode. Simulation results show that the proposed transcoder yields high reduction of total transcoding time at comparable PSNR.

Design optimization is a method to find optimum point which minimizes the objective function while satisfying design constraints. The conventional optimization does not consider the uncertainty originated from modeling or manufacturing process, so optimum point often locates on the boundaries of constraints. Reliability based design optimization includes optimization technique and reliability analysis that calculates the reliability of the system. Reliability analysis can be classified into simulation method, fast probability integration method, and moment-based reliability method. In most generally used MPP based reliability analysis, which is one of fast probability integration method, if many MPP points exist, cost and numerical error can increase in the process of transforming constraints into standard normal distribution space. In this paper, multiplicative decomposition method is used as a reliability analysis for RBDO, and sensitivity analysis is performed to apply gradient based optimization algorithm. To illustrate whole process of RBDO mathematical and engineering examples are illustrated.

Although aerial LiDAR had been launched commercially several years ago, it is still difficult to study data acquisition conditions and effects with various datasets because of its acquisition cost. Thus, this research was performed to study data acquisition conditions and effects with virtually various datasets. For this research, 3D tree models and forest stand models were built to represent graded tree sizes and tree plantation densities. Also, a variable aerial LiDAR acquisition model was developed. Then, through controlling flight height parameter, one of the data acquisition parameters, virtual datasets were collected for various data acquisition densities. From those datasets, forest canopy volumes and maximum tree heights were estimated and the estimated results were compared. As the results, the estimated is getting closer to the expected during the data acquisition density increase. This research would be helpful to perform further studios on relations between forest inventory accuracy and LiDAR cost.
