In this paper, the subband nonlinear adaptive Volterra filters are introduced and its analysis are presented. From the eigenvalue analysis of the input correlation matrix, we show that the proposed subband adaptive Volterra filter has superior convergence performance as compared to the conventional one, which shows that the it can be useful for the recently proposed subband nonlinear adaptive echo canceller. Also, the optimum filter in each subband are introduced and verified from the computer simulations.

의료영상에서의 노이즈는 환자 진단에 있어서 막대한 영향을 미치는 영상의 화질을 떨어트림으로써, 진단에 대한 유효성을 낮추게 된다. 특히, 현재 이슈화 되고 있는 저선량 의료영상은 기존의 고선량 의료영상보다 노이즈 레벨이 높으며, 이에 따라서 의료영상에서의 노이즈 제거 기술은 매우 중요한 사안으로 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 노이즈 제거 기술은 각각의 투영 영상을 여러개의 부대역(sub-band)으로 분해하는 것으로부터 시작한다. 분해된 각각의 부대역 영상은 엣지 검출기를 통하여 엣지 부분과 평탄한 영역으로 구별되어 진다. 검출된 엣지는 0 ~ 1 사이의 값으로 정규화 되며, 퍼지기반의 연산을 통하여 엣지의 확실성을 나타내는 엣지맵으로 변환하게 된다. 이 엣지맵을 통하여 각 부대역 영상의 필터링 정도를 제어하고, 분해된 각 부대역을 결합하는 방식을 취함으로써 영상의 엣지 부분을 최대한 보존하면서 노이즈는 효과적으로 제거하도록 하였다.

It is well known that the MDVR beamforming outperforms the conventional delay-sum beamformer in the sense of noise rejection and bearing resolution. However, the MDVR method requires long observation time to achieve high frequency resolution. The STMV method uses the steered covariance matrix of sensor data, so it has an ability to form an adaptive weight vector from a single time-series snapshot. But it uses the same weight vector across all frequencies. In this paper, we propose an SSMV method. The basic idea of the SSMV method is to decompose a full frequency band into several subbands to acquire a weight vector for each subband, individually. Also the wrap may be divided into several subarrays in order to reduce a computational load and the bandwidth of each subband. Simulations using real sea trial data show that the proposed SSMV method has good performance with short observation time.

In this paper, we proposed a wavelet-based digital watermarking algorithm using human visual system and subband-adaptive threshold. After the original image is transformed by discrete wavelet transform, the perceptually significant coefficients of the each subband excluding the lowest level subbands are utilized to embed the watermark. To select perceptually significant coefficients for each subband, we use subband-adaptive threshold. For the selected coefficients in the high frequency subbands, the watermark is embedded using HVS. For those of the baseband, the watermark is embedded by conventional embedding method. We tested the performance of the proposed algorithm compared with conventional watermarking algorithm by computer simulation. The experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm is less visible to human eyes and more robust to image compressions, image processings, and geometric transformations than the conventional algorithm.

This paper proposes a method to solve problems that may occur when SPIHT(set partition in hierarchical trees) is used in a dedicated codec for compressing complex holograms with ultra-high resolution. The development of codecs for complex holograms can be largely divided into a method of creating dedicated compression methods and a method of using anchor codecs such as HEVC and JPEG2000 and adding post-processing techniques. In the case of creating a dedicated compression method, a separate conversion tool is required to analyze the spatial characteristics of complex holograms. Zero-tree-based algorithms in subband units such as EZW and SPIHT have a problem that when coding for high-resolution images, intact subband information is not properly transmitted during bitstream control. This paper proposes a method of dividing wavelet subbands to solve such a problem. By compressing each divided subbands, information throughout the subbands is kept uniform. The proposed method showed better restoration results than PSNR compared to the existing method.

A wavelet-based digital watermarking algorithm is proposed that uses the successive subband quantization and human visual system (HVS). After an original image is decomposed into 4-level by the discrete wavelet transform, perceptually significant coefficients (PSC) of each subband excluding the lowest level subband are utilized to embed the watermark. PSC of the baseband ate chosen according to their amplitude and they are slightly modified to embed the watermark by a conventional embedding method. By the successive subband quantization, PSC of the high frequency subband are chosen and slightly modified according to the HVS. We tested the performance of the proposed algorithm compared with the conventional watermarking algorithm by computer simulation. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm produces a better invisibility and robustness than the conventional algorithm.

Subband coding is to divide the signal frequency band into a set of uncorrelated frequency bands by filtering and then to encode each of these subbands using a bit allocation rationale matched to the signal energy in that subband. The actual coding of the subband signal can be done using waveform encoding techniques such as PCM, DPCM and vector quantizer(VQ) in order to obtain higher data compression. Most researchers have focused on the error in the quantizer, but not on the overall reconstruction error and its dependence on the filter bank. This paper provides a thorough analysis of subband codecs and further development of optimum filter bank design using vector quantizer. We compute the mean squared reconstruction error(MSE) which depends on N the number of entries in each code book, k the length of each code word, and on the filter bank coefficients. We form this MSE measure in terms of the equivalent quantization model and find the optimum FIR filter coefficients for each channel in the M-band structure for a given bit rate, given filter length, and given input signal correlation model. Specific design examples are worked out for 4-tap filter in 2-band paraunitary filter bank structure. These optimum paraunitary filter coefficients are obtained by using Monte Carlo simulation. We expect that the results of this work could be contributed to study on the optimum design of subband codecs using vector quantizer.

In this paper, a novel phase locked loop has been proposed using an analog band-selection loop. When the PLL is out-lock, the PLL has a fasting locking characteristic with the analog band-selection loop. When the PLL is near in-lock, the bandwidth becomes narrow with the fine loop. A frequency voltage converter is introduced to improve a stability and a phase noise performance. The proposed PLL has been designed based on a 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and proved by HSPICE simulation.

High-density discrete wavelet transformation is one way to overcome the disadvantages of the standard wavelet transform of shift invariant because it increases the number of subband signals. In this paper, high-density discrete wavelet transform consisting of three channels is applied in a two-dimensional image processing. Experimental results show that the proposed method is well satisfied with the shift invariant and is excellent directional selectivity because it could generate many subband images.

최근 들어 디지털 이동통신 시스템은 음성 통신 뿐만 아니라 멀티미디어 통신에도 그 적용범위를 확장시키고 있다. 그러나 이러한 시스템에서 한정된 채널 대역폭의 사용은 멀티미디어 정보의 대용량성을 고려할 때, 그 적용범위를 심각하게 축소시키는 가장 큰 제한요소이다. 일반적인 통신 시스템의 소스 부호화기는 채널 잡음을 고려하지 않고 설계되며, 채널 부호화기는 소스 신호의 특성과 무관하게 채널 환경의 극복에만 중점을 두고 설계된다. 그러나 대역폭 제한적인 통신 환경에서 보다 효율적인 대역폭 사용을 위해서는 채널 환경에 따라 소스 부호율과 채널 부호율을 가변적으로 운용하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 영상을 부대역 부호화하여 각 부대역 영상이 원래의 영상 재구성에 기여하는 중요도에 따라 한정된 채널 자원을 최적으로 할당하는 공동 소스/채널 부호화(Joint Source-channel Coding)에 관하여 연구하였다. 부대역 영상의 소스 부호화로는 DPCM과 PCM을 사용하였고, 채널 부호화는 TCM 부호화기를 사용하였으며 상이오류보호(Unequal Error Protection)를 위해 3가지 채널 부호율에 따라 각각 TCQPSK, TC8PSK, TC16PSK 변조방식을 사용하였다. 모의실험에 사용된 채널 환경은 랜덤잡음 환경과 이동수신의 경우에 발생하는 Rayleigh 페이딩 환경을 고려하였으며, 각 환경에서의 채널 SNR에 따라 동일오류보호(Equal Error Protection) 시스템과 상이오류보호(Unequal Error Protection) 시스템의 성능을 비교하였다.
