In processing images using 2 dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform(2D-DWT), the method to process the pixels around the image boundary may affect the quality of image and the cost to implement in hardware and software. This paper proposed an effective method to treat the boundary pixels, which is apt to implement in hardware and software without losing the quality of the image costly. This method processes the 2-D image as 1-D array so that 2-D DWT is performed by considering the image with the serial-sequential data structure (Serial-Sequential Processing). To show the performance and easiness in implementation of the proposed method, an image compression codec which compresses image and reconstructs it has been implemented and experimented. It included log-scale fried quantizer, but the entropy coder was not implemented. From the experimental results, the proposed method showed the SNR of almost the same SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) to the Periodic Expansion(PE) method when the compression ratio(excluding entropy coding) of 2:1, 15.3% higher than Symmetric Expansion(SE) method, and 9.3% higher than 0-pixel Padding Expansion(ZPE) method. Also PE method needed 12.99% more memory space than the proposed method. By considering only the compression process, SE and ZPE methods needed additional operations than the proposed one. In hardware implementation, the proposed method in this paper had 5.92% of overall circuit as the control circuit, while SE, PE, and ZPE method has 22%, 21,2%, and 11.9% as the control circuit, respectively. Consequently, the proposed method can be thought more effective in implementing software and hardware without losing any image quality in the usual image processing applications.

블록기반의 비디오 부호화 표준은 비디오 신호의 압축방식으로 가장 널리 쓰이는 구조이지만 무선 환경과 같은 저 비트율 응용에서는 양자화에 의한 고주파 성분의 손실로 인해 블록킹 현상 및 링잉 현상이 두드러져 화질열화의 주된 원인이 된다. 이러한 화질열화를 제거하기 위해서 디블록킹 필터와 디링잉 필터를 사용하지만, 영상에 따라 블륵 경계의 모서리 부분과 대각선 에지가 만나는 부분에서 나타나는 corner outlier 현상으로 인해 화질이 충분히 개선되지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 저 비트율 비디오에서 에지의 방향과 그 에지를 포함하는 블록의 평탄한 정도를 이용하여 corner outlier 현상을 검출하고, 이를 제거할 수 있는 비선형 필터를 제안한다. MPEG-4 호화 영상 및 MPEG-4 디블록킹 필터를 적용한 영상에 대해서 제안한 비선형 필터를 적용하여 주관적 화질이 개선됨을 실험을 통하여 보인다.

For complying with the demand of developing high strength concrete, the high strength concrete with higher cement contents and lower water-cement ratio using high range water reducing admixture has been manufactured. In this study, for the purpose of improving the strength of concrete, concrete with silica fume and gypsum was produced so that it was acquired to high compressive strength of $1,058kg/cm^2$, $1,170kg/cm^2$ at age 28 and 91 days, respectively. But neither tensile strength nor modulus of elasticity were highly improved although the compressive strength of the concrete increased. And it was concluded that a higher slump loss of fresh high strength concrete and interior temperature increment of concrete in according to elapsed time than convential concrete should be solved.

영구자석형 동기전동기를 구동하는 인버터에서는 기본적으로 정현파 운전 방식을 사용하지만 최근에는 구형파 운전 방식도 종종 사용되고 있다. 정현파 운전 방식은 구형파 운전 방식에 비해 토크 리플이 작고 기동 성능이 우수하며, 약자속 제어를 이용하여 정격 속도 이상의 고속 운전이 가능하다. 이에 비해 구형파 운전 방식은 제어 알고리즘이 간단하고 스위칭 손실이 적은 장점이 있지만, 토크 리플이 크고 정격 속도 이하의 영역에서만 운전이 가능하다는 단점이 있다. 최근에 인버터의 운전 중에 각각의 장점이 있는 이들 2가지 운전 방식을 서로 전환하는 방법으로 가전제품의 압축기와 같은 연속 부하에 적용하기 위한 연구가 진행되었다. 저속 구간에서는 스위칭 손실을 줄이기 위하여 구형파 운전 방식을 주로 사용하고, 고속 구간에서는 안정적인 제어 성능을 위하여 정현파 운전 방식을 사용한다. 또한, 이 2가지 운전 방식의 전환 구간에서의 발생되는 과도 상태를 짧게 줄이기 위하여 속도 및 전류 제어기의 제어 변수에 대한 초기화 방법이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 구형파 운전 구간의 속도 제어기에 비례 적분 전류 제어기를 추가하여 전류 리플을 감소시키고, 전환 구간에서의 속도 및 전류 제어기의 제어 변수에 대한 초기화 방법을 제시하였다.

In this paper, ordered mode of EXT3 file system offers to use an optional compression algorithm technique. If the system terminates abnormally or an error occurs, data which is being modified will be possibly damaged or a recovery of the existing data can be impossible. To overcome these problems, a journaling file system is used. Journaling file system manages by using an additional space called Journal. EXT3 file system is the most widely used journaling file system. In this paper, When performing a file writing of an existing EXT3 file system, it offers to use an optional compact algorithm technique for an efficient use of a space of storage device.

This paper proposes an algorithm that postprocesses wavelet-compressed images by using regularized iterative image restoration. First, an appropriate modeling the image degradation system for wavelet-compression system is needed. Then, the method which uses one of nonlinear functions as constraint in regularized iterative restoration is proposed in order to remove coding artifacts efficiently, such as ringing artifact and blocking artifact, resulted from loss of high frequency coefficients. Lastly, experimental results show superiority of proposed algorithm as compared with existing algorithm.

지상파 DMB등에서 많이 사용하고 있는 기술은 H.264이다. 이 H.264는 적은 비트율에 비하여 고해상도의 영상을 만들어 낸다. 이런 손실압축을 하기 위해서 인트라와 인터등과 같은 전처리 과정과 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform), 양자화 등등이 존재하지만 H.264에서 실제로 압축이 되는 부분은 엔트로피코딩이다. H.264에서는 Exp-Golomb과 CAVLC(Context-Adaptive Variable Length Coding), CABAC(Context-Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) 세 가지를 지원하고 있다. 이중 CAVLC는 테이블을 기반으로한 압축기법을 사용한다. 테이블을 이용할 때는 코드워드의 길이와 값을 비교하는 방식을 사용하게 된다. 이는 수 많은 메모리 접속으로 인한 전력소모와 연산지연을 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 전송된 비트스트림에서 데이터를 찾을 때 코드워드의 길이와 값을 테이블에 비교해서 찾지 않고 테이블에 존재하는 규칙을 수식화 하여 찾을 수 있도록 하였다. 이는 최초 '1'이 나올때까지의 '0'의 개수와 그 이후 존재하는 코드의 값을 이용하여서 각 단계에 필요한 데이터를 추출해 낸다. 위와 같은 알고리즘을 이용하여 VHDL언어로 설계하였다.

This paper proposed the method to images of losses using restorable wavelet transformation. The algorithm proposed in this work stars by processing the pre-quantizer on the original images to organize an image that matches the gray level. The wavelet transformation filter to the original image which is already pre-quantized in order to segment bands. Considering the lowest coding of bands influencing the most to the overall condition of the reconstructed image, it only uses the Huffman coding using prediction. Reconstructed images by proposed algorithm showed higher PSNR when coding images of JPEG or non pre-quantized images. Applying pre-quantizer can control the peak errors and is expected to be useful at mass image compression.

In this paper, we propose and design a new 0.264/AVC watermarking algorithm for protection of copyright by inserting a watermark after quantization. This invisible watermarking algorithm insets a watermark into chrominance components of I frame such that we can avoid degradation of original images. According to test results we could limit image degradation by 1dB, avoid bit rate increment within 2% and increase processing time by only 2%. The IP is designed by Hynix 0.25 micron technology and the maximum operating frequency of 115MHz is achieved. The PSNR of the embedded watermark is about 35dB according to the test result.

In this paper, we proposed a real-time watermarking algorithm to be combined and to work with a DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform)-based image compressor. To reduce the amount of computation in selecting the watermarking positions, the proposed algorithm uses a pre-established look-up table for critical values, which was established statistically by computing the correlation according to the energy values of the corresponding wavelet coefficients. That is, watermark is embedded into the coefficients whose values are greater than the critical value in the look-up table which is searched on the basis of the energy values of the corresponding level-1 subband coefficients. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can operate in a real-time because the watermarking process operates in parallel with the compression procession without affecting the operation of the image compression. Also it improved the property of losing the watermark and the efficiency of image compression by watermark inserting, which results from the quantization and Huffman-Coding during the image compression. Visual recognizable patterns such as binary image were used as a watermark The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm satisfied the properties of robustness and imperceptibility that are the major conditions of watermarking.
