In this paper we implement main functions of electronic measuring devices, which are essential to design electric/electronic virtual laboratories on the Web. The implemented virtual electronic measuring devices such as virtual analog multimeter(VAM), virtual function generator(VFG), virtual oscilloscope(VOSC) enable the learners to perform the virtual experiments on the Web by simple mouse clicks. In order to show their validity virtual experiments for understanding how to use them are designed. The virtual experiments for measuring resistance(OHM), AC/DC Voltage(ACV/DCV) and DC Current(DCA) by the VAM are illustrated. In addition, the learners can change the frequency of the signal generated from the VFG and measure by the VOSC several types of the signals generated from the VFG such as triangular, pulse, sinusoidal waveforms. The VOSC can measure voltage and current through two channels of it and provide the learners with additional functions such as zooming, trigger, cursor, summing of waveforms. Since the virtual electronic measuring devices have been implemented as forms of Java classes, various types of applications are available according to the structures of virtual laboratories.

In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of Multicode DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system is investigated in the presence of multi user interference and Nakagami fading channel environments. The DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system adopts multicode technique to enhance the data transmission rate. Using the calculated BER performance, BER figures of Multicode DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system are shown to discuss the effect of the number of multi user interference, Nakagami fading index, and data transmission rate. From the results, the transmission rate of DS/CDMA-BPSK signal improve by adopting Multicode technique. And we know that the major parameter of BER performance degradation in Multicode DS/CDMA system is the effect of multi user interference than the fading depth.

In this paper we introduce a method to optimize panel parameters and drive signals in a matrix-adressed bistable twsited-nematic (BTN) liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. We measured the effect of data pulses on optical switching characteristics in a BTN LC cell to model the effect theoretically. We introduce a weighting function to model the effect of data pulses on the switching energy as a function of time. Once the weighting function is known, we can estimate the maximum number of lines for multiplexing operation at a given frame rate by calculating the minimum data pulse width. By characterizing a unit cell as we change panel parameters (for example, d/p ratio), we can optimize parameters for high-speed operation. We found that our theoretical predictions agree very well with experimental results.

Object-oriented analysis-synthesis coding (OOASC) subdivides each image of a sequence into a number of moving objects and estimates and compensates the motion of each object. It employs a motion parameter technique for estimating motion information of each object. The motion parameter technique employing gradient operators requires a high computational load. The main objective of this paper is to present efficient motion parameter estimation techniques using the hierarchical structure in object-oriented analysis-synthesis coding. In order to achieve this goal, this paper proposes two algorithms : hybrid motion parameter estimation method (HMPEM) and adaptive motion parameter estimation method (AMPEM) using the hierarchical structure. HMPEM uses the proposed hierarchical structure, in which six or eight motion parameters are estimated by a parameter verification process in a low-resolution image, whose size is equal to one fourth of that of an original image. AMPEM uses the same hierarchical structure with the motion detection criterion that measures the amount of motion based on the temporal co-occurrence matrices for adaptive estimation of the motion parameters. This method is fast and easily implemented using parallel processing techniques. Theoretical analysis and computer simulation show that the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the image reconstructed by the proposed method lies between those of images reconstructed by the conventional 6- and 8-parameter estimation methods with a greatly reduced computational load by a factor of about four.

A linear feature often provide sufficient information for image understanding and coding. An objective of the research reported in this paper is to develop and analyze the reliable methods of extracting lines in gray scale images. The Hough Transform is known as one of the optimal paradigms to detect or identify the linear features by transforming edges in images into peaks in parameter space. The scheme proposed here uses the fuzzy gradient direction model and weights the gradient magnitudes for deciding the voting values to be accumulated in parameter space. This leads to significant computational savings by restricting the transform to within some support region of the observed gradient direction which can be considered as a fuzzy variable and produces robust results.

This paper proposes a cognitive contrast enhancement algorithm based on the non-linear masking to advance low cognitive contrast in dark regions of images. In order to improve brightness in dark regions of an image, we propose a new contrast enhancement algorithm based on the non-linear masking using regional adaptive parameters of an image. For performance evaluation of the proposed method, chromaticity and saturation comparison as a quantitative assessment and z-score comparison as a qualitative assessment were executed between test images and their simulated images by SSR, MSR, a conventional non-linear masking and the proposed method, respectively. As a result, the proposed method showed low chromaticity and saturation difference and improved cognitive contrast for the three methods.

실시간으로 변화하는 컴퓨터 통신 환경에서 멀티미디어 응용 프로그램은 QoS를 만족하기 위해 안정적으로 튜닝 되고 재구성되는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 안정적으로 QoS를 보장하는 것은 응용 프로그램의 자원 예약이나 실시간 보장과 같은 메카니즘을 제공하지 않은 일반적인 목적의 시스템 상에서 수행될 때 많은 어려움을 가지게 된다. 특히, 예측 불가능한 개방형 환경에서 최우선 자원 할당에 의해 발생되는 자원의 유효성에 대응하기 위해 QoS 적응은 수행되어야 한다. 그러나 적응을 언제, 어떻게 조정해야 하고 폭 넓은 범위에서 응용 프로그램에 어떻게 적용시킬지를 알기 위해 일반적인 알고리즘을 제시해야할 필요가 있다. 이러한 목적을 위해, 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 어플리케이션의 파라미터를 모델링하고, 파라미터간의 관계를 정량적으로 얻기 위해 계층적 QoS 프로빙 알고리즘을 적용한다. 이것을 기반으로 설계된 베이지안 네트워크를 이용하여 불확실한 정보를 확률값으로 처리함으로써 적응 행동을 예측하도록 한다. 마지막으로 실제 실험을 통해 제안된 미들웨어의 유용성을 확인한다.

An adaptive non-uniform quantization scheme is proposed for soft-decision error correction in NAND flash memory. Even though the conventional maximizing mutual information (MMI) quantizer shows the optimal post-FEC (forward error correction) bit error rate (BER) performance, this quantization scheme demands heavy computational overheads due to the exhaustive search to find the optimal parameter values. The proposed quantization scheme has a simple structure that is constructed by only six parameters, and the optimal values of them are found by maximizing the mutual information between the input and the output symbols. It is demonstrated that the proposed quantization scheme improves the BER performance of soft-decision decoding with only small computational overheads.

최근 들어 립리딩은 멀티모달 인터페이스 기술의 응용분야에서 많은 관심을 모으고 있다. 동적 영상을 이용한 립리딩 시스템에서 해결해야 할 주된 문제점은 상황 변화에 독립적인 얼굴 영역과 입술 영역을 추출하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 움직임이 있는 영상에서 화자의 얼굴영역과 입술영역을 컬러, 조명등의 변화에 독립적으로 추출하기 위해 HSI 모델과 블록 매칭을 이용하였고 특징 점 추출에는 이미지 기반 방법인 PCA 기법을 이용하였다. 추출된 입술 파라미터와 음성 데이터에 각각 HMM 기반 패턴 인식 방법을 개별적으로 적용하여 단어를 인식하였고 각각의 인식 결과를 가중치를 주어 합병하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면 잡음으로 음성 인식률이 낮아지는 경우에 음성인식과 립리딩을 함께 사용함으로써 전체적인 인식 결과를 향상시킬 수 있었다.
