Because of rapid damping of light and electromagnetic wave, acoustic wave has been widely used for underwater communication. However, the propagation of the acoustic wave is highly dependent on the environment such as water properties(temperature, pressure, salinity), bottom and surface conditions, etc.. This paper deals with the surface reflection effect on the wave propagation in the underwater anechoic basin in KRISO. Both theortical and experimental approaches are performed and the results are compared.

Generally, the existing watermarking techniques for copyright protection of a digital image are fragile in geometric distortion and all watermark extractions need the same time regardless of degree of distortion. In this paper, we propose the incremental watermarking technique that used a Complex Wavelet Transform(CWT) in order to solve these problems. The proposed incremental watermarking technique embeds a watermark in a phase component after a CWT with an original image, and a watermark is extracted from an watermarked image by stages. A watermark owner can insist on copyright of an image after comparing a correlation between the extracted watermark and the original watermark if it is larger than the threshold. Also, the incremental watermark extraction determines the extraction time of a watermark by the level of distortion. The proposed technique through performance evaluation displayed that it was robust in geometric distortion than the existing watermarking technique.

분산 비디오 복호화 기술은 저 용량 저 전력 시스템을 위한 초경량 복호화기를 제공할 수 있어 최근 많은 이슈가 되고 있다. 그러나 분산 비디오 복호화 기술은 피드백 채널을 이용하여 반복적인 패리티 비트 제어 방법을 주로 사용하기 때문에 전체 복호화 시간이 매우 길다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 분산 비디오 복호화 시스템의 고속화가 반드시 필요하며 이를 위해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 분산 비디오 복호화의 고속화를 위하여 보조정보와 LDPCA 프레임의 율-왜곡을 이용하여 패리티 비트 요구량을 예측하는 방법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안하는 방법을 이용함으로써 분산 비디오 복호화에 소요되는 전제 복호 시간 대비 약 80% 시간 절감 효과를 보인다.

The lens distortion in the machine vision system is inevitable phenomenon. Distortion is getting worse, due to the selection of lens in the trend of reducing prices and size of the system. In this trend, the distortion correction becomes more important. But, the traditional correction methods has problems, such as complexity and requiring more operations. Effective distorted digital image correction is the precondition of target detection and recognition based on vision inspection. To overcome the disadvantage of traditional distortion correction algorithms, such as complex modeling, massive computation and marginal information loss, an image distortion correction algorithm based on photogrammetry method is proposed in this paper. In our method, we use the lattice image as the measurement target. Through the experimental results, we could find that we can reduce the processing time by 4ms. And also the inspection failure rate of our method was reduced by 2.3% than human-eyes inspection method.

In the binaural synthesis environments, wide varieties of the head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) that have measured with a various direction would be desirable to obtain the accurate and various spatial sound images. To reduce the size' of HRTFs, interpolation has been often employed, where the HRTF for any direction is obtained by a limited number of the representative HRTFs. In this paper, we study on the distortion measures for interpolation, which has an important role in interpolation. With lhe various objective distortion metrics, the differences between the interpolated and the measured HRTFs were computed. These were then compared and analyzed with the results from the listening tests. From the results, the objective distortion measures were selected, that reflected the perceptual differences in spatial sound image. This measure was employed in a practical interpolation technique. We applied the proposed method to four kinds of an HRTF set, measured from three human heads and one mannequin. As a result, the Mel-frequency cepstral distortion was shown to be a good predictor for the differences in spatial sound location, when three HRTF measured from human, and the time-domain signal to distortion ratio revealed good prediction results for the entire four HRTF sets.

In this paper, the efficient equalization method for OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiflexing) System using the QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) in multipath fading channel is proposed in order to faster and more efficiently equalize the received signals that are sent over real channel. In generally, the one-tap linear equalizers have been used in the frequency-domain as the existing equalization method for OFDM system. In this technique, if characteristics of the channel are changed fast, the one-tap linear equalizers cannot compensate for the distortion due to time variant multipath channels. Therefore, in this paper, we use one-tap non-linear equalizers instead of using one-tap linear equalizers in the frequency-domain, and also use the linear equalizer in the time-domain to compensate the rapid performance reduction at the low SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) that is the disadvantage of the non-linear equalizer. In the frequency-domain, when QAM signals, consisting of in-phase components and quadrature (out-phase) components, are sent over the complex channel, the only in-phase and quadrature components of signals distorted by the multipath fading are changed the same as signals distorted by the noise. So the cross components are canceled in the frequency-domain equalizer. The time-domain equalizer and the adaptive algorithm that has lower-error probability and fast convergence speed are applied to compensate for the error that is caused by canceling the cross components in the frequency-domain equalizer. In the time-domain, To compensate for the performance of frequency-domain equalizer the time-domain equalizes the distorted signals at a frame by using the Gold-code as a training sequence in the receiver after the Gold-codes are inserted into the guard signal in the transmitter. By using the proposed equalization method, we can achieve faster and more efficient equalization method that has the reduced computational complexity and improved performance.

H.264/AVC는 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$ 블록을 위하여 9개의 화면 내 예측모드를 사용한다. 예측 모드는 8개의 방향성을 가진 모드와 하나의 비방향성 DC 모드가 있다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$ 블록에서는 4가지의 예측 모드가 있으며 색차 신호 $8{\times}8$ 에서도 4개의 예측모드를 사용한다. 이러한 예측 모드들 중 최적의 예측 모드를 선택하기 위하여, 부호화기는 선택 가능한 모든 예측 모드의 율-왜곡 비용을 계산한 후, 최적의 율-왜곡 비용을 가진 예측 모드를 사용하여 부호화를 수행한다. 따라서 H.264/AVC의 화면 내 예측 과정은 많은 계산 복잡도를 가진다. 특히 하이 프로파일에서는 휘도 신호 $8{\times}8$ 블록이 화면 내 예측을 위해서 고려되므로 더욱 많은 계산 복잡도를 요구한다. 이에 본 논문은 H.264/AVC 하이 프로파일의 화면 내 예측의 부호화 계산 복잡도를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 현재 매크로 블록의 분산을 계산한 후, 이를 이용하여 율-왜곡 최적화에 후보로 사용되어지는 블록 모드를 결정하고, 각 블록 모드에서 제공하는 예측 모드들을 효율적으로 선택하는 방법을 연구 개발하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존 H.264/AVC 참조 소프트웨어인 JM13.1 부호화 시간 대비 약 83%의 연산시간이 감소하는 결과를 보였다.

In this paper, when the pulses propagate on a uniform microstrip line, the distortion of pulse signal caused by dispersion is investigated in time domain. We analyzed dispersion characteristics according to dielectric constant and structure of transmission line, and compared propagating characteristics for square and gaussian pulse according to pulse width, pulse amplitude, and propagation velocity. The results of this paper are compatible to the trade-off determination of relative permittivity, substrate height, strip width and pulse width of signal pulse when a design of MIC and MMIC is necessary.

3-레벨 T-type 인버터는 DC-Link 전압을 중성점을 기준으로 상, 하단 두 개의 커패시터로 나누어 사용한다. 이때 두 커패시터의 특성이 일치하지 않거나 스위칭 동작 패턴에 따라 불평형이 생겨 인버터 출력에 왜곡이 발생한다. 이러한 왜곡으로 인해 인버터 성능이 저하되고, 심해질 경우 스위칭 소자에 손상을 발생시킨다. 본 논문은 불평형 전압 차이를 간략화된 공간 벡터 변조 기법을 이용해 스위칭 시간을 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

군중잡음(crowd noise)이 발생하는 환경에서 음성 통화 및 화자 인식을 할 때에는 음성에 파열음이나 마찰음과 같은 유색잡음(colored noise)이 부가되어 원래 음성이 왜곡된다. 이와 같이 왜곡된 음성 신호를 처리할 때에는 군중잡음을 제거하는 과정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 군중잡음의 특성을 분석하고, 그 결과를 이용하여 음성 신호처리 시에 효과적으로 군중잡음만을 제거할 수 있는 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델은 시간 영역에서는 침묵 구간을 검출하여 마찰음과 파열음을 제거하는 과정과 주파수 영역에서는 잡음 평균을 생성하고 이를 이용한 스펙트럼 차감법(spectral subtraction)으로 군중 잡음을 제거하는 과정으로 이루어진다.
