본 논문에서는 낮은 해상도의 영상을 높은 해상도의 영상으로 변환하는 과정에서 최적화된 매개변수를 적용하는 적응적 3차 회선 보간 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저 주어진 영상 신호에 3차 회선 보간 기법을 수행하여 높은 해상도로 변환시킨다. 변환된 영상 신호는 다시 3차 회선 보간 기법으로 변환 과정을 통해 처음 주어진 원 영상 신호와 같은 해상도로 변환시킨다. 여기서 변환된 영상 신호와 원 영상 신호의 차이를 최소로 만드는 매개변수는 적응적으로 최적화된다. 적응적으로 최적화된 매개변수는 보간 커널을 최적화하여 3차 회선 보간 기법의 성능을 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘을 알려진 여러 영상으로 기존에 존재하던 보간 기법들과 비교하는 실험을 하고, 도출된 실험 결과를 객관적인 지표로 제시하여 우수함을 입증한다.

본 논문에서는 간섭 제거기가 다중 톤 DS/CDMA 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 최근 여러 가지 방법의 간섭 제거기가 제안되고 있으나, 여기서는 Yoon[4] 등이 제안한 간섭 제거기를 사용하였다. 또한 세 가지 종류의 간섭을 고려하였는데 다중 경로 간섭, 채널 간 간섭, 다중 접속 간섭이 그것이다. 이들 간섭 신호들과 가우시안 잡음의 분산을 구하여 신호 대 잡음비를 계산하였으며, 다중 경로 채널에서의 RAKE 수신기와 3단계의 간섭 제거기를 고려하였다. 성능 분석 결과, 간섭 제거기는 다중 톤 CDMA 시스템에서 매우 효과적이며, 최대비 결합 다이버시티와 심볼 당 칩 수를 사용함에 따라 성능이 크게 향상되어 이들 파라메터가 중요한 설계 요소가 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 다수의 변환자 소자를 사용해서 빔을 역 초점화하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 64개의 소자를 사용해서 한 개의 소자에서 얻은 것과 거의 동일한 모양의 구면파를 얻을 수 있다. 이렇게 얻은 구면파는 합성집속에서 영상의 신호 대 잡음비를 높이는데 사용된다. 실험에서 제안된 방법은 영상의 해상도를 저하시키지 않고 신호대 잡음비를 크게 향상시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다. 특히 제안된 방법은 기존의 역초점화 방법에 의해 우수한 잡음 특성을 갖는다. 여기서 영상은 송수신의 양방향 빔집속에 의해서 얻었다.

Blind equalizers recover the transmitted data using statistical characteristics of the signal alone. Among many alternatives, steepest gradient descent type algorithms such as the CMA and Sato algorithm are most widely utilized in practice. In this paper we propose a dual-mode NCMA algorithm, which combines the advantages of the dual mode CMA and Normalized CMA (NCMA) with the dual mode phase recovery algorithm. In addition, we perform computer simulations to demonstrate the performance improvement of the proposed algorithm with a QAM system. Simulation results show that the presented algorithm has a faster convergence speed and smaller steady-state residual error than the CMA and dual-mode CMA.

Automatic fingerprint identification is a process of direction extraction, binarization, thinning, minutiae extraction of fingerprint identification. In this process, binarization after direction extraction affects a process of thinning and minutiae extraction. The fasle binarization is increased the false minutiae extraction rate. In this paper, we proposed more exact minutiae extraction algorithm with more enhanced binarization method, compared with traditional binarization process. We could have more enhanced results by using the direction and the half distance between ridges as the threshold of binarization process. In an experiment, Fingerprint images from NIST DBI are tested and the result shows that the proposed binarization algorithm increases minutiae extraction.

In stochastic hyperspectral target detection algorithms, the target signal components may be included in the background characterization if targets are not rare in the image, causing target leakage. In this paper, the effect of target leakage is analysed and an improved hyperspectral target detection method is proposed by excluding the pixels which have similar reflectance spectrum with the target in the process of background characterization. Experimental results using the AISA airborne hyperspectral data and simulated data with artificial targets show that the proposed method can dramatically improve the target detection performance of matched filter and adaptive cosine estimator. More studies on the various metrics for measuring spectral similarity and adaptive method to decide the appropriate amount of exclusion are expected to increase the performance and usability of this method.

In this paper, a method to design 3-dimensional (3-D) cross-lattice signal constellations with increased compactness is presented and analyzed. Here, the symbols located at the outermost sides in the conventional lattice constellation are moved symmetrically to fill in empty sides and sunken corners. While the minimum Euclidean distance (MED) among adjacent symbols remains unchanged, the presented cross-lattice constellations have 3~5% reduced average power and upto 25% reduced total volume as compared with the conventional ones. Due to the increase compactness, average power of the new 3-D constellations is lower than that of the conventional ones. As a result, computer simulation verifies that the presented cross-lattice constellations can improve symbol error performance of a digital transmission system about 0.4 [dB]. Hence, the proposed 3-D cross-lattice constellations are appropriate for low-power and high-quality digital communication systems.

Recently, GPS(Global Positioning System) array antenna technology is generally used and widely adopted as a national infrastructure structure and aero-vehicles for protection the GPS signal reception. Until now, the 2-dimensional planar array is universally used for its applications in the array antenna signal processing, however relatively higher altitude air vehicles such as UAV experiences additional null zones induced by low altitude GPS interferences which is located in a symmetry zone of antenna horizontal plane and this could make the receiving antenna pattern coverage reduction. In this paper, we improved 20% of the beam pattern receiving performance and 13 dB correlation value improvement by eliminating the interference mirror images.

In this paper a way to improve the performance of the long term prediction is proposed, which adopts the Multi-band Excitation (MBE) method in addition to the Code-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) method at low bit rates below 4.8 kbps. In the proposed method, the multiband long term prediction is performed on the periodic components which still remain after the long term prediction of the conventional CELP method. At this point, the whole frequency region is divided into subbands whose size is equal to the spacing between the harmonics of the fundamental frequency, and the periodic multiband excitation signals. are represented as the sum of sine waves approximately as large as the spectrum of the excitation signals, so that the actual characteristics of the excitation signals can be better taken into account. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, computer simulation is performed at 4.8 kbps. The 4.8 kbps DoD CELP and the 4.4 kbps IMBE were chosen as the reference vocoders for the speech quality measure. The result of the perceptual speech quality measure showed that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the 4.8 kbps DoD CELP vocoder, and similar to that of the 4.4 kbps IMBE vocoder.

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of quartz is commonly applied to the age dating of Quaternary sediments. However, one of the issues is that some of the quartz samples are not suitable to OSL dating. Mineralogical analysis of the quartz samples with diverse OSL signals are required to strengthen the reliability and applicability of the OSL dating. We analysed the OSL signal characteristics of sedimentary quartz samples from diverse geological environments and measured their trace element contents using laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Quartz samples could be grouped into ones suitable to OSL dating and ones unsuitable on the basis of their OSL signal characteristics. The average trace element contents ranged from 73 to 260 ppm (Al), and from 61 to 248 ppm (Ti) with minor Li, Mg, Cr, Mn, and Fe contents below 40 ppm. We did not find any significant variation of trace element contents of quartz samples consistent with their OSL signal characteristics. This indicates unknown mineralogical factors causing diverse OSL characteristics which should be confirmed by further analysis of sufficient set of samples.
