To meet the requirements of various satellite synthetic aperture radar(SAR) system performance parameters, the characteristics of the antenna pattern should be analyzed. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the SAR system performance using an effective technique for optimizing antenna pattern synthesis in the presence of element failure. The desired antenna pattern can be synthesized by referring to the optimized antenna mask templates using the particle swarm optimization algorithm. In the simulation, the performance of the proposed method is verified by analyzing characteristics related to the SAR system performance parameters using antenna pattern regeneration.

Identity authentication is an important technology that has long been used in society to identify individuals and provide appropriate services. With the development of the Internet infrastructure, many areas have expanded into online areas, and identity authentication technologies have also expanded online. However, there is still a limit to identity authentication technology that relies entirely on trusted third parties like the government. A centralized identity management system makes the identification process between agencies with different identity management systems very complex, resulting in a waste of money and time for users. In particular, the limits of the centralized identity management system were clearly revealed in the face mask shortage in the 2020 COVID-19 crisis. A Decentralized Identity (DID) is a way for users to manage their identity on their own, and recently, a number of DID platform based on blockchain technology have been proposed. In this paper, we analyze the limitations of the existing centralized identity management system and propose a DID system that can be utilized in future national emergency situations such as COVID-19.

Recently, interests in mask-type skin care devices using light-emitting diodes have been increasing and optical stimuli at certain wavelengths have been known to have various therapeutic effects, such as skin whitening, acne treatment, elasticity and wrinkle improvement by controlling the exposure to wavelengths of light and irradiation time. In particular, light sources of different wavelengths are applied in masks for the purpose of suppressing skin aging, inducing cell proliferation, and alleviating skin inflammation. In this paper, we developed a light-emitting diode control system that is actively used in skin regeneration masks using a microcontroller. Optical stimuli with different manners were applied to skin fibroblast cells in a single or complex wavelengths, and then confirmed how they are effective in the cell differentiation. In addition, we found a specific wavelength that has a positive effect on cell proliferation rates, and confirm the effectiveness of cell proliferation by image processing based quantitative analysis.

본 논문에서는 개인 식별을 위하여 복수 해상도 구조를 제시하였고 이 방법으로 구순문 인식을 구현하였다. 구순문 인식은 지문, 음성 패턴, 홍채 패턴과 얼굴 인식과 같은 신체적 특징에 비하여 상대적으로 연구가 많이 이루어지지 않은 신체적 특징이다. 구순문은 CCD 카메라를 이용할 경우 홍채나 얼굴 패턴 같은 다른 특징 요소와 연결하여 인식 시스템을 구축할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 구순문 인식을 위해 pattern kernels를 이용한 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. Pattern kernels는 여러 개의 local lip print mask들로 구성된 함수이며, lip print의 정보를 디지털 데이터로 전환시켜 준다. 복수 해상도를 가지는 인식 시스템은 단일 해상도의 시스템보다 더욱 신뢰적이며 인식률도 높다.

The feature extraction mechanism of the CASA(Computational Auditory Scene Analysis) system uses time continuity and frequency channel similarity to compose a correlogram of auditory elements. In segmentation, we compose a binary mask by using cross-correlation function, mask 1(speech) has the same periodicity and synchronization. However, when there is delay between autocorrelation signals with the same periodicity, it is determined as a speech, which is considered to be a drawback. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to improve discrimination of channel similarity using Weighted Cross-correlation in segmentation. We conducted experiments to evaluate the speech segregation performance of the CASA system in background noise(siren, machine, white, car, crowd) environments by changing SNR 5dB and 0dB. In this paper, we compared the proposed algorithm to the conventional algorithm. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been improved as following: improvement of 2.75dB at SNR 5dB and 4.84dB at SNR 0dB for background noise environment.

In this paper, we implement a digital holographic security card system that combines digital holographic memory using random phase encoded reference beams with electrical biometrics. Digitally encoded data including a document, a picture of face, and a fingerprint are recorded by multiplexing of holographic memory. A random phase mask encoding reference beams are used as a decoded key to protect illegal counterfeit. As a result, we can achieve a raw BER of 3.6${\times}$10-4 and shift selectivity of 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ using the 2D random phase mask. Also, we develop a recording pattern and image processing which are suitable for a low cost reader without a position sensing photo-detector for real time data extraction and remove danger of fraud from unauthorized person by comparing the reconstructed holographic data with the live fingerprint data.

Fault-tolerant system in improved the reliability and safety by using hardware and software redundancy. Fault mask and detection, identification techniques are conditionally used with system's application areas. Here DMR system is operated with standby and fail-safe module method that has minimal hardware and software redundancy, then its reliablity and safety comparison is presented respectively. Also this paper proposed an effective methods of dealing with transient faults as compared system's MTTFs to transient faults tolerance capabilities of self-diagnosis program.

Moving object boundary is very important for moving object segmentation. But the moving object boundary shows broken boundary We invent a novel space-oriented boundary linking algorithm to link the broken boundary The boundary linking algorithm forms a quadrant around the terminating pixel in the broken boundary and searches forward other terminating pixel to link within a radius. The boundary linking algorithm guarantees shortest distance linking. We also register the background from image sequence. We construct two object masks, one from the result of boundary linking and the other from the registered background, and use these two complementary object masks together for moving object segmentation. We also suppress the moving cast shadow using Roberts gradient operator. The major advantages of the proposed algorithms are more accurate moving object segmentation and the segmentation of the object which has holes in its region using these two object masks. We experiment the algorithms using the standard MPEG-4 test sequences and real video sequence. The proposed algorithms are very efficient and can process QCIF image more than 48 fps and CIF image more than 19 fps using a 2.0GHz Pentium-4 computer.

In this paper, we have studied on the effects of annular and quadrupole illuminations by changing their conditions for enhancing the pattern resolution and depth of focus (OaF) in the optical lithography system using KrF Eximer laser 0.248$\mu$m and 0.65 NA. As a result, it is revealed that each illumination condition to optimize the resolution and the OaF for the mask containing the assistance pattern is different under the annular illumination. And in case of quadrupole illumination, we could ascertain that the resolution and the OaF would be enhanced through changing the arrangement of each pole from the conventional X type (45 degrees) to some proper type according to the main pattern direction. ction.

This paper is concerning off-line signature verification using a density function which is obtained by convolving the signature image with twelve-directional $5\times{5}$ gradient masks and the weighted fuzzy mean classifier. The twelve-directional density function based on Nevatia-Babu template gradient is related to the overall shape of a signature image and thus, utilized as a feature set. The weighted fuzzy mean classifier with the reference feature vectors extracted from only genuine signature samples is evaluated for the verification of freehand forgeries. The experimental results show that the proposed system can classify a signature whether it is genuine or forged with more than 98% overall accuracy even without any knowledge of varied freehand forgeries.
