An intrusion-sensitive capability of multimode graded-index (GRIN) optical fibers under bending has been investigated. In this system, the data light is transmitted in the fundamental mode while alarm monitor light is launched in a high-order mode at the same time. An attempted intrusion to drain data by bending the fiber results in greater attenuation of a monitor signal in higher order modes, thereby setting off an alarm at the receiver. Light propagation in a multimode graded-index fiber is also analyzed theoretically when the fundamental mode is selectively excited and the fiber is bent around a constant radius mandrel. The bending generates coupling between the various modes of the fiber. Power transitions of the fundamental mode by changing the bending radius were also analyzed numerically using program simulation. It is shown that Asawa-Taylor model[4] is valid up to 1cm of the radius of curvature of the fiber bend.

스케일러블 비디오 코딩(SVC, Scalable Video Coding)은 MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)과 VCEG (Video Coding Expert Group)의 JVT(Joint VIdeo Team)에 의해 현재 표준화 되고 있는 새로운 압축 표준 기술이며 시간, 공간 및 화질의 스케일러빌리티를 지원하기 위해 계층 구조를 가지고 있다. 공간적 스케일러빌리티를 위해 기본 계층으로부터 텍스처, 움직임 그리고 잔차신호 정보를 예측하여 사용한다. 그러나 고효율의 압축효과를 얻기 위해 기존의 방식에서는 기본계층에서 얻은 세가지 정보이외에 현재 향상 계층에서 자체적으로 얻은 부호화 정보를 비교하여 최소의 RD(Rate Distortion) 비용을 가지는 정보를 이용하여 부호화 하도록 되어 있다. 하지만 이러한 방식은 향상 계층에서 인터 모드 결정 시 $16\times16,\;16\times8,\;8\times16,\;8\times8,\;4\times4,\;4\times8,\;4\times4$ 블록 모드에 대한 움직임 벡터 예측 및 보상 과정을 거쳐야 하기 때문에 향상 계층에서의 부호화 복잡도는 기본 계층에 비해 상당히 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기본계층에서 예측한 움직임 벡터 정보를 이용하여 항상 계층에서 모드 결정을 고속화하는 방법에 대해 소개한다. 제안된 방법은 기본 계층에서 예측한 블록모드 중에서 큰 블록인 $16\times16$ 블록에서 움직임 벡터가 (0, 0) 일 경우에 대하여 향상 계층에서는 $16\times16$매크로 블록에 대해서만 움직임 예측 및 보상을 수행함으로써 향상 계층에서 움직임 모드 결정을 조기에 완료하게 된다. 이것은 하위 공간 계층에서 예측한 움직임 벡터 정보가 아주 작을 때는 큰 블록 크기로 모드로 결정되는 일반적인 원리를 이용한 것이고 이 제안 방법을 이용하였을 경우 향상계층에의 모드 결정과정을 고속화함으로써 전체 스케일러빌 비디오 부호하기의 연산량 및 복잡도를 최대 70%까지 감소 시켰다. 그러나 연산량 감소에 따른 비트율의 증가와 화질 열화는 각각 최대 1.32%와 최대 0.11dB로 무시할 수 있을 정도로 작음을 확인 하였다.

디지털 영상압축 방법인 ITU-T H.263++ 부호화기법 중에는 계층 모드(scalability mode)를 지원한다. 계층 모드는 한 개의 송신 영상에 대해서도 복호기와 전송로에 따라서 여러 가지 화질의 재생 영상을 얻을 수 있게 한다. 계층 모드는 시간적, 공간적, SNR(signal-to-noise ratio)로 나누어진다. 그 중에서 SNR 계층 모드는 고급계층에 따라서 다양한 해상도를 가질 수 있다. 계층부호화에는 크게 기본계층과 고급계층으로 나누어지는데, 기본계층은 QoS를 보장하여, 화질은 떨어지나 에러 없이 영상을 전송하고, 고급계층에서는 기본계층에 해상도 에러에 대한 나머지 정보를 전송한다. 고급계층으로 전송되는 정보는QoS가 보장되지 않으므로 비트에러나, 팻킷 에러가 발생 할 수 있다. 따라서 고급계층에 에러가 발생하게 되고, 에러 전파 현상이 일어난다. 본 논문에서는 단일계층부호화와 2 Layer 계층부호화에서 발생되는 에러의 차이점을 알아보고, 데이터 손실 없는 기본계층과 에러가 발생하는 고급계층에 상관관계를 분석하여, SNR계층부호화에서 맞는 고급계층 에러은닉 기법을 제안한다.

Researches in draft recommendation H.263 have been made in ITU-T LBC group to broaden its range of useful application and to improve its compression performance. The form of added and revised draft text of H.263 is informally known as “H.263+”. In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of H.263+ negotiable option modes for four image classes. Based on the analysis results, we proposed the adaptive selection scheme of H.263+ option modes by using a scene change detector for a mixed image class. In case of using the proposed scheme, we obtained the 1.6dB improvement in PSNR compared to the basic mode of H.263, and the 0.4~1.0 dB improvement in PSNR compared to the fixed usage scheme of H.263+ negotiable option modes. In respect to used bits per frame, fewer bits are produced than the basic mode H.263 and the foxed usage scheme of H.263+ option modes.

In this paper, a higher-order mode coupler using coaxial-structure waveguide for Ku-band monopulse satellite tracking is proposed. The proposed higher-order mode coupler is built in a coaxial structure for compactness and weight reduction, making it suitable for mobile tracking systems. The inner circular waveguide of coaxial-structure is used to extract the fundamental mode signal and the high-order mode signal is extracted from the four slots of the outer circular waveguide and then transmitted via given stepped rectangular waveguide structure. The simulated results show that proposed higher-order mode coupler covers 250 MHz(12.75 GHz ~ 13.00 GHz) bandwidth with return loss and insertion loss characteristics. The antenna patterns of fundamental mode and higher-order mode applicable to monopulse tracking are generated successfully. Designed higher-order mode coupler using coaxial waveguide structure for Ku-band is expected to be used for high precision monopulse satellite tracking systems.

We investigate that when we restrict the encoding modes on the enhancement layer based on that of the base layer exploiting the high correlation between the best modes at base and enhancement layers, we should determine the set of surviving search modes to yield the minimum excessive RD-cost caused by the restriction. Based on these sets, we implement a fast mode decision algorithm for H.264 Scalable Extension (SE). Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior in the sense of the RD-performance to the conventional mode restriction method which is based on the conditional probabilities of the best modes.

Inversion of multi-mode surface-wave phase velocity for shallow engineering site investigation has received much attention in recent years. A sensitivity analysis and inversion of both synthetic and field data demonstrates the greater effectiveness of this method over employing the fundamental mode alone. Perturbation of thickness and shear-wave velocity parameters in multi-modal Rayleigh wave phase velocities revealed that the sensitivities of higher modes: (a) concentrate in different frequency bands, and (b) are greater than the fundamental mode for deeper parameters. These observations suggest that multi-mode phase velocity inversion can provide better parameter discrimination and imaging of deep structure, especially with a velocity reversal, than can inversion of fundamental mode data alone. An inversion of the theoretical phase velocities in a model with a low velocity layer at 20 m depth can only image the soft layer when the first higher mode is incorporated. This is especially important when the lowest measurable frequency is only 6 Hz. Field tests were conducted at sites surveyed by borehole and PS logging. At the first site, an array microtremor survey, often used for deep geological surveying in Japan, was used to survey the soil down to 35 m depth. At the second site, linear multichannel spreads with a sledgehammer source were recorded, for an investigation down to 12 m depth. The f-k power spectrum method was applied for dispersion analysis, and velocities up to the second higher mode were observed in each test. The multi-mode inversion results agree well with PS logs, but models estimated from the fundamental mode alone show f large underestimation of the depth to shallow soft layers below artificial fill.

In this study, the researchers compared the S-wave velocity structures obtained by two kinds of dispersion curves: phase and group dispersions from a tidal flat located in the SW coast of the Korean peninsula. The ${\tau}-p$ stacking method was used for the phase velocity and two different methods (multiple filtering technique: MFT and continuous wavelet transform: CWT) for the phase velocity. It was difficult to separate higher modes from the fundamental mode phase velocities using the ${\tau}-p$ method, whereas the separation of different modes of group velocity were easily achieved by both MFT and CWT. Of the two methods, CWT was found to be more efficient than MFT. The spatial resolutions for the inversion results of the fundamental mode for both phase and group velocities were good for only a very shallow depth of ${\sim}1.5m$. On the other hand, the spatial resolutions were good up to ${\sim}4m$ when both the fundamental and the 1st higher mode poop velocities obtained by CWT were used for S-wave inversion. This implies that the 1st higher mode Rayleigh waves contain more information on the S-wave velocity in deeper subsurface. The researchers applied the CWT method to obtain the fundamental and the 1st higher mode poop velocities of the S-wave velocity structure of a tidal flat located in SW coast of the Korean peninsula. Thea the S-wave velocity structures were compared with the borehole description of the study area.

H.263+[1]는 1996년에 비디오압축 표준안으로 확정된 H.263의 확장으로 현재 널리 퍼져 있는 저 전송률의 가정용 전화선을 위한 비디오 압축에 관한 표준안으로 1988년에 확정되었다. H.263+의 기본 알고리즘은 H.263과 같으나 사용상의 편의를 위한 여러 선택모드와 이종의 네트워크환경에서 발생하는 대역폭의 변화나 에러를 위한 scalability(계층부호화)와 같은 새로운 기능이 추가되었다. 새로운 표준안에 따른 실시간 비디오 전송을 처리하기 위해서 필연적으로 하드웨어 코덱의 개발 필요성이 대두되고 있으며 실시간 비디오 코덱은 영상회의 전화기나 멀티미디어 전송시스템의 핵심기술로써 적용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ITU-T H.263+의 기본모드와 새로이 추가된 선택모드 일부를 지원하는 코덱을 하드웨어 기술 언어인 VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language)을 사용하여 기술하고 각 모듈과 최상의 모듈을 시뮬레이션하여 동작을 검증했다.
