In this paper, an efficient VLSI architecture of Shape Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform(SADCT) based on systolic array is proposed. Since transform size in SADCT is varied according to the shape of object in each block, it are dropped that both usability of processing elements(PE´s) and throughput rate in time-recursive SADCT structure. To overcome these disadvantages, it is proposed that the architecture based on a systolic way structure which doesn´t need memory. In the proposed architecture, throughput rate is improved by consecutive processing of one-dimensional SADCT without memory and PE´s in the first column are connected to that in the last one for improvement of usability of PE. And input data are put into each column of PE in parallel according to the maximum data number in each rearranged block. The proposed architecture is described by VHDL. Also, its function is evaluated by MentorTM. Even though the hardware complexity is somewhat increased, the throughput rate is improved about twofold.

This study describes a spatial web object retrieval system using Spark, an in - memory based distributed processing system. Development of social networks has created massive amounts of spatial web objects, and retrieval and analysis of data is difficult by using exist spatial web object retrieval systems. Recently, development of distributed processing systems supports the ability to analyze and retrieve large amounts of data quickly. Therefore, a method is promoted to search a large-capacity spatial web object by using the distributed processing system. Data is processed in block units, and one of these blocks is converted to RDD and processed in Spark. Regarding the discussed method, we propose a system in which each RDD consists of spatial web object index for the included data, dividing the entire spatial region into non-overlapping spatial regions, and allocating one divided region to one RDD. We propose a system that can efficiently use the distributed processing system by dividing space and increasing efficiency of searching the divided space. Additionally by comparing QP-tree with R-tree, we confirm that the proposed system is better for searching the spatial web objects; QP-tree builds index with both spatial and words information while R-tree build index only with spatial information.

The contrast enhancement techniques based on Laplacian pyramid image fusion have a benefit that they can faithfully describe the image information because they combine the multiple resource images by selecting the desired pixel in each image. However, they also have some problem that the output image may contain noise, because the methods evaluate the visual information on the basis of each pixel. In this paper, an improved contrast enhancement method, which effectively suppresses the noise, using image fusion is proposed. The proposed method combines the resource images by making Laplacian pyramids generated from weight maps, which are produced by measuring the difference between the block-based local well exposedness and local homogeneity for each resource image. We showed the proposed method could produce less noisy images compared to the conventional techniques in the test for various images.

This paper is related to the object-based stereo matching algorithm which makes it possible to estimate inner-region disparities for each segmented region. First, several sample points are selected for effectively representing the segmented region, Next, stereo matching is applied to the small area within segmented region which existed in the neighborhood or each sample point. Finally, inner-region disparities are interpolated using a plane equation with disparity of each selected sample. According to the proposed method, the problem of feature-based method that the depth estimation is possible only in the feature points can be solved through the propagation of the disparity in the sample point into the inside of the region. Also, as selecting sample points in contour of segmented region we can effectively suppress obscurity which is occurred in the depth estimation of the monotone region in area-based methods.

IoT devices, which are used in various ways in distributed environments, are becoming more important in data transmitted and received from IoT devices as fields of use such as medical, environment, transportation, bio, and public places are diversified. In this paper, as a method to ensure the reliability of IoT data, an autoencoder-based IoT-linked processing technique is proposed to classify and process numerous data by various important attributes. The proposed technique uses correlation indices for each IoT data so that IoT data is grouped and processed by blockchain by characteristics for IoT linkage processing based on autoencoder. The proposed technique expands and operates into a blockchain-based n-layer structure applied to the correlation index to ensure the reliability of IoT data. In addition, the proposed technique can not only select IoT data by applying weights to IoT collection data according to the correlation index of IoT data, but also reduce the cost of verifying the integrity of IoT data in real time. The proposed technique maintains the processing cost of IoT data so that IoT data can be expanded to an n-layer structure.

In this paper, we propose an object detection method for real-time in infrared (IR) images and PowerPC (PPC) and H/W design based on field programmable gate array (FPGA). An open H/W architecture has the advantages, such as easy transplantation of HW and S/W, support of compatibility and scalability for specification of current and previous versions, common module design using standardized design, and convenience of management and maintenance. Proposed background modeling for an open H/W architecture design decreases size of search area to construct a sparse block template of search area in IR images. We also apply to compensate for motion compensation when image moves in previous and current frames of IR sensor. Separation method of background and objects apply to adaptive values through time analysis of pixel intensity. Method of clutter reduction to appear near separated objects applies to median filter. Methods of background modeling, object detection, median filter, labeling, merge in the design embedded system execute in PFC processor. Based on experimental results, proposed method showed real-time object detection through global motion compensation and background modeling in the proposed embedded system.

This paper proposes a method for reducing false conflicts in signature-based eager hardware transactional memory (HTM). The method tracks the information on all cache blocks that are accessed by a transaction. If the information provides evidence that there are no conflicts for a given transactional request from another core, the method prevents the occurrence of a false conflict by forcing the HTM to ignore the decision based on the signature. The method is very effective in reducing false conflicts and the associated unnecessary transaction stalls and aborts, and can be used to improve the performance of the multicore processor that implements the signature-based eager HTM. When running the STAMP benchmark on a 16-core processor that implements the LogTM-SE, the increased speed (decrease in execution time) achieved with the use of the method is 20.6% on average.

본 논문에서는 기존의 인지적 영상 압축 기법에 사용되었던 Just Noticeable Distortion(JND) 모델이 압축과정에서 생기는 왜곡인 양자화 왜곡에 적합하지 않는 다는 것을 보이고, 그 한계점을 해결하기 위하여 Just Noticeable Blur(JNB)의 개념을 적용하여 영상 압축에 적합한 모델을 제시하였다. 주파수 공간에서 영상의 복잡도 특징을 나타내는 Spectral Contras Index(SCI) 값을 사용해서 영상의 DCT 블록별 JNB 를 추정하고 이를 기반으로 영상의 DCT 계수 값을 감소시켜 최신의 DCT 기반 JND 를 적용한 인지적 압축 영상에 비해 더 낮은 PSNR 을 가지면서 왜곡도 인지되지 않는 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 새롭게 제시한 모델을 적용하면 인지적 영상압축에서 기존의 방법보다 더 낮은 비트율로 유사한 인지적 화질 성능을 발휘할 것으로 예상된다.

본 논문에서는 이미지 블록의 평균 픽셀 값 특성을 양자화 인덱스 변조 기법에 적용하여 이미지 포맷변환에 강인한 정보은닉 기법을 제안한다. 포맷변환에 강인한 이미지 속성은 정규화된 픽셀 히스토그램에 기반하여 분석되며, 그 중 평균 픽셀 값을 통해 정보은닉 알고리즘이 구성된다. 평균 픽셀 값을 양자화 인덱스 변조기법에 적용하기 위한 방안으로 DCT 계수를 정규화 하는 방법이 선택되며, 추출 성공률을 높이기 위해 오류정정부호가 사용된다. 따라서 본 논문의 알고리즘을 통해 결합 이미지가 압축, 사이즈 변화 등의 과정을 거치게 될 경우 발생하는 문제점을 극복할 수 있다.

Line Disparity Map[1]은 스테레오 영역기반 정합방법에서 블록단위의 영역이 아닌 라인의 기울기를 바탕으로 비교하기 때문에 실시간 스테레오 정합이 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러한 Line Disparity Map 알고리즘을 사용하여 단순히 관찰로만 사용되어 지는 입체현미경에 스테레오 비전을 기반으로 하는 3D 형상계측 시스템을 개발하여 사람이 손으로 측정하기 힘든 미세의 오브젝트를 측정하는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.
