Bilateral filter (BF), functioning by two Gaussian filters, domain and range filter is a nonlinear filter for sharpness enhancement and noise removal. In infrared (IR) small target detection field, the BF is designed by background predictor for predicting background not including small target. For this, the standard deviations of the two Gaussian filters need to be changed adaptively in background and target region of an infrared image. In this paper, the proposed bilateral filter make the standard deviations changed adaptively, using variance feature of mean values of surrounding block neighboring local filter window. And, in case the variance of mean values for surrounding blocks is low for any processed pixel, the pixel is classified to flat background and target region for enhancing background prediction. On the other hand, any pixel with high variance for surrounding blocks is classified to edge region. Small target can be detected by subtracting predicted background from original image. In experimental results, we confirmed that the proposed bilateral filter has superior target detection rate, compared with existing methods.

일반적으로 시스템 인식과 제어에 이용하는 다층 신경회로망은 기존의 역전파 알고리즘을 이용한다. 그러나 결선강도에 대한 오차의 기울기를 구하는 방법이기 때문에 국부적 최소점에 빠지기 쉽고, 수렴속도가 매우 늦으며 초기 결선강도 값들이나 학습계수에 민감하게 반응한다. 이와 같은 단점을 개선하기 위하여 확장된 칼만 필터링 기법을 역전파 알고리즘에 결합하였으나 계산상의 복잡성 때문에 망의 크기가 증가하면 실제 적용할 수 없다. 최근 신경회로망을 선형과 비선형 구간으로 구분하고 칼만 필터링 기법을 도입하여 수렴속도를 빠르게 하고 초기 결선강도 값에 크게 영향을 받지 않도록 개선하였으나, 여전히 은닉층의 선형 오차값을 역전파 알고리즘에 의해서 계산하기 때문에 학습계수에 민감하다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 위에서 언급한 기존의 신경회로망 알고리즘의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 은닉층의 목표값을 최적기법에 의하여 직접계산하고 각각의 결선강도 값은 반복최소 자승법으로 온라인 학습하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 이들 신경회로망 알고리즘과 비교하고자 한다. 여러 가지 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법이 초기 결선강도에 크게 영향을 받지 않으며, 기존의 학습계수 선정에 따른 문제점을 해결함으로써 신경회로망 모델에 기초한 실시간 제어기 설계에 응용할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 유도전동기의 속도추정과 제어에 적용하여 좋은 결과를 보였다.

The enhancement technique of noise signal using mixture HFM (Midden Filter Model) are proposed. Given the parameters of the clean signal and noise, noisy signal is modeled by a linear state-space model with Markov switching parameters. Estimation of state vector is required for estimating original signal. The estimation procedure is based on mixture interacting multiple model (MIMM) and the estimator of speech is given by the weighted sum of parallel Kalman filters operating interactively. Simulation results showed that the proposed method offers performance gains relative to the previous results with slightly increased complexity.

In this paper, we investigate the compressed sensing (CS) algorithms for modeling a super-resolution near-field structure (super-RENS) disc system with a sparse Volterra filter. It is well known that the super-RENS disc system has severe nonlinear inter-symbol interference (ISI). A nonlinear system with memory can be well described with the Volterra series. Furthermore, CS can restore sparse or compressed signals from measurements. For these reasons, we employ the CS algorithms to estimate a sparse super-RENS read-out channel. The evaluation results show that the CS algorithms can efficiently construct a sparse Volterra model for the super-RENS read-out channel.

In this paper, we describe a fuzzy threshold selection technique for feature extraction in digital color images. this is achieved by the formulation a fuzzy inference system that evaluates threshold for feature configurations. The system uses two fuzzy measures. They capture desirable characteristics of features such as dependency of local intensity and continuity in an image. We give a graphical description of a nonlinear sketch feature extraction filter and design the fuzzy inference system in terms of the characteristics of the feature. Through the design, we provide selection method on the choice of a threshold to achieve certain characteristics of the extracted features. Experimental results show the usefulness of our fuzzy threshold inference approach which is able to extract features without human intervention.

Large steel industries have nonlinear loads including electric arc furnaces. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system. This paper provides an in depth analysis on harmonics field measurement of the electric arc furnace loads, adding a single-tuned filter at the customer bus for reducing harmonic distortion and harmonics assessment by the international harmonic standards IEC 61000-3-6 and IEEE Std. 519. The EDSA program was used as a simulation tool for the case study.

This paper presents a new data predistortion technique with memory to compensate for the nonlinearities of high-power amplifiers (HPA`s) in digital radio systems employing QAM signal formats. In contrast with the conventional data predistortion technique which is designed to reduce nonlinearity of memoryless HPA`s, the proposed technique in this paper compensates not only for nonlinear warping of the signal constellation but also for clustering of the signal points caused by transmitter pulse sharping filter with memory. A practical implementation method which can reduce the size of memory at the predistortion stage is described by utilizing symmetry of QAM constellation format and Modulo-4 operation.

Bilateral filter (BF) is a nonlinear filter for sharpness enhancement and noise removal. The BF performs the function by the two Gaussian filters, the domain filter and the range filter. To apply the BF to infrared (IR) small target detection, the standard deviation of the two Gaussian filters need to be changed adaptively between the background region and the target region. This paper presents a new BF with the adaptive standard deviation based on the analysis of the edge component of the local window, also having the variable filter size. This enables the BF to perform better and become more suitable in the field of small target detection Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust and efficient than the conventional methods.

Particle filter algorithm has been proven very successful for non-linear and non-Gaussian estimation problem and thus it has been widely used for object tracking for video signals. If the object moves significantly, particle filter needs very large number of particles to track object and this results high computational cost. In this paper, modified particle filter by adopting motion vector is proposed for tracking vehicle in low frame rate(LPR) video input, which the object moving significantly and randomly between consecutive frames. In the proposed algorithm, motion vector is applied in selection and observe step. The experimental result shows that the proposed particle filter can track vehicle successfully in the case when previous one fails. And it also shows the propose method increases the precision of tracking.
