Space-Time Block Code(STBC) provides full diversity gains with simple linear processing at the receiver. Interference Cancellation(IC) techniques in system using STBC improve the capacity and performance of wireless systems with co-channel users. Various IC techniques, Minimum Mean-Squared Error(MMSE) and Zero-Forcing(ZF) algorithms in system with STBC were proposed in the literatures in multiuser environment. The performance of these IC techniques were simulated by assuming perfect channel state information(CSI) of multiuser at the receiver. However, in practice it is difficult to know perfect CSI of multiuser at the receiver. Thus, channel estimation scheme is essential at the receiver. Also SNR estimation scheme is required to operate the MMSE IC algorithm. In this paper, we present estimation schemes of CSI and SNR using training sequences. Through extensive computer simulation, we compare and evaluate the performance of IC techniques using the proposed CSI and SNR estimation techniques.

The value of Environment is so high and important that no one can estimate it correctly. In the area of Logistics, Environment protection is very important and keen subject for the present and for the future of this country and people. Environmental logistics, similarly used as Green logistics, means the protection of Nature and Environment and reduces all kinds of factors and behaviors that may destroy and deteriorate current Environment. It also include the preservation of Nature and sustainable development. Environmental logistics aims to save natural resources and to promote reuse of all kinds of materials and to increase the utilization of Environment friendly substitute goods. In this paper the concept and characteristics of Environmental logistics were summarized and described. Also the main previous studies were surveyed. Some of important cases and experiences which were introduced and applied in major countries such as Japan, Hongkong, USA and the case of PHILIPS were summarized and analyzed. With these cases and analysis, this paper suggested some alternatives and countermeasures for the improvement of Environmental logistics in terms of 3 dimensions such as Country, Company and Individual level. And a strategy model for enhancement of the Environmental logistics was suggested and limitations of this paper and future research directions were described.

The local binary pattern (LBP) scheme that is one of the texture classification methods normally uses the distribution of flat, edge and corner patterns. However, it cannot examine the edge direction and the pixel difference because it is a sort of binary pattern caused by thresholding. Furthermore, since it cannot consider the pixel distribution, it shows lower performance as the image size becomes larger. In order to solve this problem, we propose a sub-classification method using the edge direction distribution and eigen-matrix. The proposed sub-classification is applied to the particular texture patches which cannot be classified by LBP. First, we quantize the edge direction and compute its distribution. Second, we calculate the distribution of the largest value among eigenvalues derived from structure matrix. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides a higher classification performance of about 8 % than the existing method.

This paper shows linkage management for external services. There are many services for specific entities such as DBLP and OntoWorld. OntoFrame, as a Semantic Web-based research information service portal, aims at one-stop service in ways that it connects external services with hyperlinks. For managing the linkage, linkage rules are manually edited by human administrators and automatically verified and tested by linkage management system. It consists of linkage rule management, linkage rule verification, linkage test, and dynamic link generation. Linkage rule management creates and edits linkage rules to connect external services on the Web. After finished rule editing and verification step, linkage management invokes linkage test with entity list. Only valid links are visible to enable users to click on our system, and thus it increases user's reliability on the system.

In this paper, we propose a method for classifying environmental sound for selective noise cancellation in industrial sites. Noise in industrial sites causes hearing loss in workers, and researches on noise cancellation have been widely conducted. However, the conventional methods have a problem of blocking all sounds and cannot provide the optimal operation per noise type because of common cancellation method for all types of noise. In order to perform selective noise cancellation, therefore, we propose a method for environmental sound classification based on deep learning. The proposed method uses new sets of acoustic features consisting of temporal and statistical properties of Mel-spectrogram, which can overcome the limitation of Mel-spectrogram features, and uses convolutional neural network as a classifier. We apply the proposed method to five-class sound classification with three noise classes and two non-noise classes. We confirm that the proposed method provides improved classification accuracy by 6.6% point, compared with that using conventional Mel-spectrogram features.

Detecting objects in underwater environments is challenging due to factors such as object overlap, noise, and lighting variations. In particular, labeling underwater organisms like Paralichthys olivaceus requires significant time and effort when done manually. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a method to automate the labeling of Paralichthys olivaceus using image processing techniques and to increase the size of the dataset for training. The proposed method applies morphological operations and contour detection to remove noise and accurately extract object boundaries. Additionally, the Y0L0v8 model is used to analyze performance variations based on dataset size and training methods. The results demonstrate that expanding the dataset through automated image preprocessing improves object detection performance, even in cases of object overlap, and proves to be more time-efficient compared to manual labeling.

In this study, data linking module called GeoSWMM was developed using a typical secondary flooding model SWMM in order to improve the accuracy of the input data of SWMM and to map hourly inundation estimation areas that were not represented in the conventional inundation map. GeoSWMM is a data linking module of GIS and SWMM, which can generate a SWMM project file directly from sewer network GIS data. Utilizing the GeoSWMM the project file of SWMM model was constructed in the study area, Seocho 2-dong, Seoul. The actual flooding has occurred September 21, 2010 and the actual rainfall data were used for flood simulation. As a result, the outflow started from 2 PM due to the lack of water flow capacity of the sewage system. Based on the results, hourly inundation estimation maps were produced and compared with flood train map in 2010. The comparison showed about 66% matching in the overlap of inundation areas. By utilizing GeoSWMM that was developed in this study, it is easy to build the sewer network data for SWMM. In addition, the creation of hourly inundation estimation map using SWMM will be much help to flood disaster prevention plan.

In digital broadcasting, services such as digital satellite TV, cable TV and digital terrestrial TV, several video programs are compressed by MPEG-2, and then simultaneously transmitted over a conventional CBR (Constant Bit Rate) broadcasting channel. In this paper, we propose a joint quality control scheme to be able to accurately control the relative picture quality among the video programs, which is achieved by simdt;,nL'Ously controlling the video encoders to generate the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compressed video streams. Our quality control scheme can prevent the video buffer overflow and underflow by total target bit allocation process, and also exactly control the relative picture quality in terms of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) between some programs requiring higher picture quality and others by rate-distortion modification. Furthermore we present a rate-distortion estimation method for MPEG-2 video, which is base of our joint quality control, and verify its performance by experiments. The most attractive features of this estimation method are as follows: 1) computational complexity is low because main operation for the estimation is to calculate the histogram of OCT coefficients into quantizer; 2) estimation results are very accurate enough to be applied to the practical MPEG-2 video coding applications. Simulation results show that the proposed joint quality control scheme accurately controls the relative picture quality among the video progran1s transmitted over a single channel as well as provides more consistent and higher picture quality than independent coding scheme that encodes each program independently.
