The noise generated in the process of obtaining the medical image acts as the element obstructing the image interpretation and diagnosis. To restore the true image from the image polluted from the noise, the total variation optimization algorithm was proposed by the R.O. F (L.Rudin, S Osher, E. Fatemi). This method removes the noise by fitting the balance of the regularity and fidelity. However, the blurring phenomenon of the border area generated in the process of performing the iterative operation cannot be avoided. In this paper, we propose the adaptive total variation method by mapping the control parameter to the proposed transfer function for minimizing boundary error. The proposed transfer function is determined by the noise variance and the local property of the image. The proposed method was applied to 464 tooth images. To evaluate proposed method performance, PSNR which is a indicator of signal and noise's signal power ratio was used. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance than other methods.

In this paper we proposed FSFN (Filter bank sub-band energy subtraction based CLSFN) method to improve the recognition performance of the existing CLSFN (Cepstral distance and Log-energy based Silence Feature Normalization). The proposed FSFN reduces the energy of noise components in filter bank sub-band domain when extracting the features from speech data. This leads to extract the enhanced cepstral features and thus improves the accuracy of speech/silence classification using the enhanced cepstral features. Therefore, it can be expected to get improved performance comparing with the existing CLSFN. Experimental results conducted on Aurora 2.0 DB showed that our proposed FSFN method improves the averaged word accuracy of 2% comparing with the conventional CLSFN method, and FSFN combined with CMVN (Cepstral Mean and Variance Normalization) also showed the best recognition performance comparing with others.

In this paper, we consider the noncoherent code acquisition problem using sequential schemes. We show that the outputs of the noncoherent receiver approximately have a central chi-square distribution under the null hypothesis through simulations. Based on this observation, simplified acquisition schemes are obtained using the approximations of the Bessel function. The performance of the simplified and original schemes are compared in additive white Gaussian noise and slowly varying fading channels. Numerical results show that the simplified schemes have essentially the same performance as the original schemes.

In this paper, we have analyzed the block error probability of orthogonal multicarrier 16 QAM signal in a frequency selective Rician fading environment. The block error probability is evaluated with several parameters such as normalized propagation delay $(\gamma/T_S),$, bit energy to noise power ratio $(E_b/N_0),$ and desired signal to undesired signal power ratio (DUR) in fast fading and slow fading channels. In the fast fading channel, The result shows that the block error probability rather in the fast fading channel achieves better performance than in the slow fading channel, when the error correction capability is one or two.

독립성분분석(ICA: Independent Component Analysis)이란 특징이 상이한 둘 이상의 신호들이 선형적으로 결합되어 있을 때 이를 효과적으로 분리하는 방법들을 통칭하며 잡음제거, 음질개선 및 신호처리 분야에서 많이 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전화음성 화자인식 시스템의 성능향상을 위해 독립성분분석을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 화자가 발성한 음성신호의 켑스트럼 계수를 여러 채널 함수들의 선형적인 합으로 가정하고, 독립성분분석을 이용하여 얻은 새로운 켑스트럼 벡터를 학습과 인식에 사용하였다. 실험자료는 잔화음성 화자식별기의 성능평가에 널리 쓰이고 있는 SPIDRE를 사용하였고 regodic 은닉 마코프 모델을 이용하여 문장 독립 화자식별 시스템을 구성하였다. 학습음성의 특징과 실험음성의 특징이 다른 조건에서 기존의 채널 정규화 방법들에 비해 10~15%이상 인식률이 향상되었다.

A wave buoy commonly used for measurements in marine environments is very useful for measurements on the sea surface wind and waves. However, it is constantly exposed to external forces such as typhoons and the risk of accidents caused by ships. Therefore, the installation and maintenance charges are large and constant. In this study, we developed a system for monitoring the sea surface wind using marine radar to provide spatial and temporal information about sea surface waves at a small cost. The essential technology required for this system is radar signal processing. This paper also describes the analytical process of using it for monitoring the sea surface wind. Consequently, developing this system will make it possible to replace wave buoys in the near future.

펄스 열화상에서 서모그램 등 데이터의 플롯에 의해 표시되어지는 로그-로그 플롯을 활용해서 특정하게 정류(rectification)하여 펄스 서모그램을 잘 사용하도록 정의하고 열화상 신호복원(thermographic signal reconstruction; TSR) 기법에 의해 실험 데이터를 피팅하도록 한다, 이와 같은 물리적인 해석 및 수학적 대수기법에 의해 펄스열화상은 단순하면서도 효율적인 정규화가 가능하게 될 수 있다. 펄스열화상의 최적화는 로그대수 유도로 비교되는 콘트라스트(contrast)의 초기 검출과 TSR의 사용이라는 두 가지 돋보이는 접근 방법에 기반하여 이루어진다. 펄스자극열화상을 최적화하기 위해서 두 개의 매개변수, 즉 결함 콘트라스트의 신호 대 잡음비와 추출에 대한 선인식을 고려하는 것이 필요하다.

이 논문에서는 직접수열 부호분할 다중접속 계통에 알맞은 다상 서명수열을 제안한다. 제안한 수열은 짝교차상관 값이 언제나 0이고, 수열 길이가 N일 때 최대 홀교차상관 값이 N/$\pi$ 쯤이다. 최대 홀교차상관 값이 크기는 하지만 이 값은 매우 드물게 일어나므로, 직접수열 부호분할 다중접속 계통의 성능에 거의 영향을 미치지 않음을 보인다. 제안한 수열을 서명수열로 쓴 직접수열 부호분할 다중접속 계통의 성능을 살펴보고 서로 다른 수열을 서명수열로 썼을 때의 성능과 견주어, 비동기 정규잡음 채널이 감쇄를 겪을 때나 겪지 않을 때 모두, 제안한 수열이 이제까지의 서명수열보다 훨씬 나은 성능을 낼 수 있음을 보인다.

The MTF(Modulation Transfer Function) is one of quality assesment factors to evaluate the performance of satellite images. Image restoration is needed for MTF compensation, but it is an ill-posed problem and doesn't have a certain solution. Lots of filters were suggested to solve this problem, such as Inverse Filter(IF), Pseudo Inverse Filter(PIF) and Wiener Filter(WF). The most commonly used filter is a WF, but it has a limitation on distinguishing signal and noise. The L-curve-based Modified Wiener Filter(MWF) is a solution technique using a Tikhonov regularization method. The L-curve is used for estimating an optimal regularization parameter. The image restoration was performed with Dubaisat-1 images for PIF, WF, and MWF. It is found that the image restored with MWF results in more improved MTF by 20.93% and 10.85% than PIF and WF, respectively.

'[n this paper, we propose an efficient multi-view image coding algorithm which finds the optimal texture from a restricted number of multi-view image. The X-Y plane of the normalized object space is divided into the triangular patches. The depth of each node is determined by appling a block based disparity compensation method. Thereafter the texture of each patch is extracted by appling an affine transformation based disparity compensation method to the multi-view images. We reduced the number of images needed to determine the texture compared to traditional methods which use all the multi-view image in the texture extraction. The experimental results show that the SNR of images encoded by the proposed algorithm is better than that of images encoded by the traditional method by the approximately 0.2dB for the test sets of multi -view image called dragon, santa, city and kid. Image data recovered after encoding by the proposed method show a better visual results than after using traditional method.
