Existing Speech feature extracting method in speech Signal, there are incorrect recognition rates due to incorrect speech which is not clear threshold value. In this article, the modeling method for improving speech recognition performance that combines the feature extraction for speech and silence characteristics normalized to the non-speech. The proposed method is minimized the noise affect, and speech recognition model are convergence of speech signal feature extraction to each speech frame and the silence feature normalization. Also, this method create the original speech signal with energy spectrum similar to entropy, therefore speech noise effects are to receive less of the noise. the performance values are improved in signal to noise ration by the silence feature normalization. We fixed speech and non speech classification standard value in cepstrum For th Performance analysis of the method presented in this paper is showed by comparing the results with CHMM HMM, the recognition rate was improved 2.7%p in the speech dependent and advanced 0.7%p in the speech independent.

Stacking in seismic processing plays an important role in improving signal-to-noise ratio and imaging quality of seismic data. However, the conventional stacking method doesn't remove random noises with various distributions and outliers up to a satisfactory level. This paper introduces a robust and optimum weighted stack method which shows both robustness to outlier noises and optimum in removing random noises. This was achieved by combining the robust median stacking with the optimum weighted stacking using local correlation. Application of the method to synthetic data showed that the proposed method is very effective in suppressing random noises with various distributions including outliers.

The difference threshold test (DTT) declares erasures whenever the difference between the largest and second largest energy detector outputs does not exceed a given threshold. we show that the DTT outperforms the ratio threshold test (RTT) for finite modulation size and diversity order in the detection of M-FSK signals. The asymptotic performance for infinite modulation size and diversity order is then investigated. It is shown that the minimum signal-to-noise ratio required to achieve error-free communication for the DTT is the same as that for the RTT.

This study aimed to investigate the difference of X-ray exposure by comparing and analyzing absorbed dose according to changes in the number of frames in coronary angiography, also depending whether the zoom mode is FOV enlargement or Zoom Live. Moreover, for appropriate frame selection measures for examination, including the effect of frame change on the image quality, were sought by measuring the noise strength expressed by the standard deviation (SD), the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR). The study was conducted with an anthropomorphic phantom on an angio-system. The linear relationship between the frame rate and the radiation dose was evident. On the contrary, the indices of image quality (SD, SNR, and CNR) were almost constant irrespective of the number of frames. The difference depending on the zoom mode was not statistically significant for DAP, air kerma, and SD (p > 0.05). However, SNR and CNR were statistically different between FOV enlargement and Zoom Live. In conclusion, since the image quality was not degraded significantly with the decreasing frame rate from 30, 15, to 7.5 f/s and the radiation dose evidently decreases in almost exactly linear proportion to the decreasing frame rate, the number of frames per second needs to be maintained as low as reasonably achievable. As for the dependence on the zooming mode, the Live Zoom mode showed statistically significant improvement in the image quality indices of SNR and CNR and it justifies active use of the Live Zoom mode which enables real-time image enlargment without additional radiation dose.

The convolution code(CC) of code rate 1/2 as a forward error correction (FEC) in Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) is applied to decrease bit error rate (BER) by background noise and multipath in shallow water acoustic channel. Ratio of transmitting signal bandwidth to channel coherence bandwidth is defined as frequency selectivity index. BER and bit energy-to-noise ratio gain of transmitted signal according to frequency selectivity index are evaluated. In the results of indoor water tank experiment, BER is well matched theoretical results at frequency selectivity index less than about 1.0. And bit energy-to-noise ratio gain is also matched theoretical value of 5 dB. BER is effectively decreased at frequency selective multipath channel with frequency selectivity index higher than 1.0. But bit energy-to-noise ratio greater than a certain size in terms of CC weaving is effective in reducing bit errors. In the results, the defined frequency selectivity index in this study could be applied to evaluate a performance of CC in multipath channel. Also it could effectively reduced BER in a low speed underwater acoustic communication system without an equalizer.

The scattered radiation always occurs when X-ray strikes the object. To absorb the scattered X-rays, the antiscatter grids are used, however these grids images are superimposed in the projection radiography images. When those images are displayed on the monitor, moir$\acute{e}$ patterns are overlapped over the images and disturb the anatomical informations. Most of the researches performed to date removed the grid noises by calculating or observing those frequencies in one dimensional frequency domain, two dimensional wavelet transform or Fourier transform. Those methods filtered not only the grid noises but also diagnostic informations. In this paper, we proposed the combined wavelet packet-Fourier method to remove the grid artifact in CR images. For the phantom image, the proposed method achieved from 5.2 to 7.4 dB better than others in SNR and for CR images by rejecting the grid noise bands effectively while leaving the remaining bands unchanged, the loss of images could get minimal results.

We propose an optical performance monitoring method for WDM optical transmission systems. By assigning a pair of AWG ports to each optical signal channel. the optical power, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNIO, and wavelength of all the signal channels are observed simultaneously. The output power ratio of the AWG port pair depended on the wavelength variation of the channel with sensitivity of 1dB/0.026nm. The OSNH results were deviated no more than 0.7dB from the results measured by optical signal analyzer (OSA).

복호 후 전달 협력 통신 프로토콜(DFP: Decode-and-Forward Cooperative Communication Protocol)은 물리적인 안테나의 증가 없이 다중 안테나 시스템의 장점을 가지는 통신 방법이다. 지금까지는 신호 대 잡음 비율(SNR: Signal to Noise Ratio)이나 경로이득 크기의 루트를 취한 값들을 이용하여 중계 노드에서 복호한 데이터를 전달 여부를 결정하여 중계 노드에서 부정확한 검파가 되지 않도록 방지하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 DFP 에서 사용되던 SNR 을 대체할 수 있는 LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio)를 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 레일리 페이딩 환경과 AWGN 환경에서 기준값이나 중계 노드의 위치에 상관없이 LLR 기반의 DFP 가 SNR 기반의 DFP 보다 높은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 계산의 복잡성을 줄이고 피크 신호 대 잡음 비율(PSNR) 성능을 개선하기 위한 새로운 프레임 상향 변환 (Frame Rate Up Conversion) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하기 위한 모션 추정 과정(Motion Estimation) 은 이전 프레임과 현재 프레임에서 마크로블록(Macroblock) 값의 최소 차이값(Sum of absolute differences) 을 이용하여 보간된 프레임(Interpolated Frame) 의 마크로블록이 가지게 되는 모션 벡터 값을 추출한다. 이 때 반복된 배경 패턴 및 여러 움직임들 때문에 모션 추정 과정에서 출력되는 벡터값이 비정상적으로 출력되는 경우가 있다. 여기서 제안된 알고리즘을 통해 모션 벡터값들의 특이치(Outlier) 를 검출하고 이를 교정하기 위한 분산값(Variance) 을 이용하여 모션 벡터 평활화 작업(Motion Vector Smoothing) 을 거친다. 이와 같이 제안된 알고리즘을 이용하여 실험한 결과값으로 프레임률 상향 변환 과정을 통해 상대적으로 계산의 복잡성은 낮으면서 양호한 PSNR 값이 출력됨을 확인할 수 있다.
