High resolution Pan-sharpening technique is becoming increasingly important in the field of remote sensing image analysis as an essential image processing to improve the spatial resolution of original multispectral image. The general scheme of pan-sharpening technique consists of upsampling process of multispectral image and high-pass detail injection process using the panchromatic image. The upsampling process, however, brings about image blurring, and this lead to spectral distortion in the pan-sharpening process. In order to solve this problem, this paper presents a new method that adopts image restoration techniques based on optimization theory in the pan-sharpening process, and evaluates its efficiency and application possibility. In order to evaluate the effect of image restoration techniques on the pansharpening process, the result obtained using the existing method that used bicubic interpolation were compared visually and quantitatively with the results obtained using image restoration techniques. The quantitative comparison was done using some spectral distortion measures for use to evaluate the quality of pan-sharpened image.

The spherical glasses lenses are typically classified into two groups such as (+) diopter lens and (-) diopter lens by the refractive power index. The thermal deformation of a lens is occurred by external heat source and is changed respected to the diopter of a lens. In this paper, the thermal deformation of spherical glasses lenses were quantitatively measured by using ESPI (electronic speckle pattern interferometry) which has an advantage that the non-contact, non-destructive and precise deformation measurement is available due to the coherency characteristic. The temperature changes were measured by IR camera. It makes experiments over 14 types of the plastic glasses lenses. From the results, it was confirmed that the larger diopter lens showed the less thermal deformation in case of the (+) diopter lens. On the other hand, the thermal deformation of the (-) diopter lens was measured with uniform pattern when the same temperature changes were applied. Also, it was found that the thermnal deformation of the (+) diopter lens is less than that of the (-) diopter lens. Therefore, it is expected that when the thermal deformation is occurred to the various types of the lens, the variation of the focal length caused by the thermal distortion of a lens would be measured quantitatively.

The effect of the heat treatment on electrochromic properties of $\textrm{MoO}_3$ thin films is investigated by studing optical modulation, optical density, response time, and cyclic voltammetry. From the results of XRD analysis, heat-treated at $450^{\circ}C$ in air for 1 hour Moo3 thin films are found to be crystalline while as-deposited and heat- treated at low temperature ($\leq\;300^{\circ}C$) film are amorphous. The electrochromic devices using as-deposited $\textrm{MoO}_3$ films exhibit good electrochromic properties compared to those using the heat treated $\textrm{MoO}_3$ films. It has shown that the heat-treatment affected the reversible color change and the electrochromic properties of $\textrm{MoO}_3$ films.

The degradation of the concrete due to deterioration factors, such as corrosion of steel bars, cracks and structural strength of reinforced concrete structures, is a social problem. Especially, concrete structures constructed in seawater, underground water, waste water treatment facilities and sewerage are subject to chemical attack by acid and sulphate. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare sulfated glass and fine aggregate of slag using waste glass fine powder and meta kaolin. The results showed that the slag fine aggregate showed better sulfate resistance than the river sand, and the fine powder of waste glass showed the best performance at 3 % displacement.

Many methods have been studied to estimate the time delay between incoming signals to two receivers. In the case of the method based on the channel estimation technique, the relative delay between the input signals of the two receivers is estimated as an impulse response of the channel between the two signals. In this case, the characteristic of the channel has sparsity. Most of the existing methods do not take advantage of the channel sparseness. In this paper, we propose a time delay estimation method using BPD (Basis Pursuit Denoising) optimization technique, which is one of the sparse signal optimization methods, in order to utilize the channel sparseness. Compared with the existing GCC (Generalized Cross Correlation) method, adaptive eigen decomposition method and RZA-LMS (Reweighted Zero-Attracting Least Mean Square), the proposed method shows that it can mitigate the threshold phenomenon even under a white Gaussian source, a colored signal source and oceanic mammal sound source.

The error rate equations of MPSK and DS/MPSK radio signals transmitted through the m-distributed fading channel in Gaussian noise and tone interference environments have been derived. Using the derived equations, the error rate performance is evaluated and shown as functions of carrier-to-noise ratio, carrier-to-interference ratio, processing gain, fading index and the number of diversity branches. The derivation has been done for two cases. The first case assumes that only the signal is undergoing the influence of fading, and the second case assumes that both signal and interference are undergoing the influence of fading simultaneously. From the obtained results, we have known that the error performance of MPSK signal is improved by using diversity technique and direct sequence spread spectrum technique even in a fading environment. Also comparing the error rate performance of two cases, the latter is worse than the former.

In speech signal processing, speech signal corrupted by noise should be enhanced to improve quality. Usually noise estimation methods need flexibility for variable environment. Noise profile is renewed on silence region to avoid effects of speech properties. So we have to preprocess finding voice region before noise estimation. However, if received signal does not have silence region, we cannot apply that method. In this paper, we proposed SNR estimation method for continuous speech signal. The waveform which is stationary region of voiced speech is very correlated by pitch period. So we can estimate the SNR by correlation of near waveform after dividing a frame for each pitch. For unvoiced speech signal, vocal track characteristic is reflected by noise, so we can estimate SNR by using spectral distance between spectrum of received signal and estimated vocal track. Lastly, energy of speech signal is mostly distributed on voiced region, so we can estimate SNR by the ratio of voiced region energy to unvoiced.

Noise profile is renewed on silence region to avoid effects of speech properties. So we have to preprocess finding voice region before noise estimation. However, if received signal does not have silence region, we cannot apply that method. In this paper, we proposed SNR estimation method for continuous speech signal. A Speech signal consists of Voice and Unvoiced Band in The MBE excitation model. And the energy of speech signal is mostly distributed on voiced region, so we can estimate SNR by the ratio of voiced region energy to unvoiced. We use the IMBE vocoder for the Voice or Unvoice band of segmented speech signal. Continuously we calculate the segmented SNR using that information and the energy of each band. And we estimate the SNR of continuous speech signal.

Changes in various physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Samgyetang retorted at the $F_0$ values of 4.0 (F4), 7.0 (F7), and 10.0 (F10) were investigated during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 12 months. The pH level tended to decrease in all the treatments with the increase of the storage time, but no significant difference in the extent of the decrease was observed among the treatments. The values of volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric reactive substances, and carbonyl contents increased rapidly over the storage period in the order of F4 > F7 > F10. The viscosity decreased most sharply between month 0 and month 2, after which the rate of increase declined. The oxygen concentration in the headspace of the retort pouch of the Samgyetang was higher for the samples retorted at higher $F_0$ values. In the sensory tests, the scores of the samples retorted at higher $F_0$ values tended to be lower, but all the characteristics of the samples, except for the texture of the T10 samples, were evaluated with scores higher than 5.0, the limit of marketability, over the storage time. In conclusion, the quality of the Samgyetang samples treated at higher $F_0$ values deteriorated more noticeably during storage.

The study was carried out to investigate the effect of MA packaging materials on quality and storability of tomato in long distance export condition. We found that the fresh weight loss in perforated film was higher than other breathable films. The fresh weight of tomato (cv 'Madison') packaged with breathable films, such as 5,000 cc, 10,000 cc, $20,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$ oxygen permeable films, reduced less than 0.6%, but perforated film that already being used for packaging horticultural crops showed 1.4% fresh weight loss during $5^{\circ}C$ storage for 20 days and then $20^{\circ}C$ storage for last 5 days with 85% relative humidity. The carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration in tomato packages showed proper level for MA storage in $20,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$ $O_2$ breathable film treatment at $5^{\circ}C$ storage. Although at $20^{\circ}C$ storage, the carbon dioxide concentration increased sharply, the oxygen concentration decreased remarkably, the change of these gases concentration was the lowest in 20,000 cc film treatment. The ethylene concentration was sharply increased at $20^{\circ}C$ from $21^{st}$ day to $25^{th}$ day after $5^{\circ}C$ storage for 20 day, and the concentration was lower in 20,000 cc film treatment among the breathable film treatments. Until 20 days, at $5^{\circ}C$ storage all treatments did not exceed the marketability. However, the last 5 days during at $20^{\circ}C$, the fruit appeared fungal rots and the quality rapidly decreased. The $20,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$ $O_2$ permeability treated tomato performed higher firmness (9.56 N), vitamin C (16.31 mg/100 gFW), and soluble solids ($7^{\circ}Brix$) than other breathable films at final storage day. The results suggest that the $20,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$ $O_2$ permeable film treatment of tomato (cv 'Madison') performed the highest quality and storability of tomato for long distance exporting.
