Discrete cosine transform (DCT) has wide applications in speech and image coding. In this paper, we propose a novel fast dCT scheme with the property of reduced multiplication stages and the smaller number of additions and multiplications. This exploits the symmetry property of the DCT kernel to decompose the N-point dCT to N/2 point, and can be generally applied recursively to $2^{m}$-point. The proposed algorithm has a structure that most of multiplications tend to be performed at final stage, and this reduces propagation of truncation error which could occur in the fixed-point computation. Also the minimization of the multiplication stages further decreases the error.

This paper proposes a new design method for obtaining the impulse responses which satisfy the prescribed conditions designing for maximally flat FIR lowpass filters and highpass filters. The bandpass filters and band-reject filters have been directly derived from the addition and subtraction of impulse responses of a lowpass filter and a highpass filter. The two-dimensional maximally flat FIR lowpass filter, highpass filters, bandpass filters and band-reject filters with zero-phase have been designed by transforming the impulses of the one-dimensional filters designed in this research, which do not destroy lines and edges at the image signal processing.

The goal of this paper is to determine optimal hardware platform for specific applications. In order to develop an understanding of how select the optimal platform, we focus upon the real-time embedded vehicle system for processing forward image and sound. In this paper we propose to measure parameters such as instructions, execution cycle, required memory size for program and data by using ARMulator. We have measured three types of processor cores: ARM7, ARM9 and ARM10. The results of the study indicated that the proposed methods could measure the minimal requirements of hardware platform for specific applications. By defining lower limit of hardware specifications in embedded systems, we can minimize expenses with suitable system performance without implementing the system.

This paper is a study on the development of optimal control system for lighting and air conditioning equipment to save the energy in campus environment. In the case of controling system developed through this research, lighting and air conditioner are controlled by both information on the number of people entering and leaving the room through the motion sensor and image processing, and the information on temperature and humidity. In addition, energy saving is enabled by the results that are controlled through data integration monitoring and command execution functions according to the control signals.

An ultra wide band ultra-high frequency (UHF) signal processing module was designed for on-line UHF partial discharge (PD) monitoring systems for gas-insulated switchgears (GIS). Major advantage of the unit is an improved PD detection sensitivity through minimizing the effect of surrounding interference signals. The detection sensitivity of the unit was <-60 dBm that is sufficient to detect UHF PD signals as low as 1 pC. Precise detection of PD occurred in the GIS, due to internal defects, is possible by using the signal processing unit.

In this paper, a new wideband tunable analog element for multimedia system is proposed. The proposed active element is composed of the complementary cascode circuit which can extend transconductance of an element. Therefore, the unity gain frequency which is determined transconductance is increased than that of the conventional element. And then these results are verified by the 0.22$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS n-well parameter simulation. As a result, the gam and the unity gam frequency are 42dB and 200MHz on 2V supply voltage. And power dissipation of the designed element is 0.32mW.

Terahertz waves are superior to conventional X-ray or Magnetic Resonance Tomography(MRI), and the amount of information that can be transmitted is as large as thousands of times that conventional X-ray or MRI. In addition, Terahertz waves have great performance in analyzing an object which have some layered structure. By using this advantage, we can extract the letters of a page by analyzing information such as absorption amount and reflection amount by irradiating a closed book with pulses of various frequencies within gap of a terahertz wave. However, in the image of each page using the Terahertz wave might be obtained various kinds of noise and the different character occlusion region. So, to extract letters from the terahertz image, we must take the noise and occlusion region away. We have been working to enhancement the image quality in various ways, and keep on studying de-noising processing for enhancement about the image quality and high resolution. Finally, we also keep on studying about OCR(Optical Character Recognition) technology, which based on pattern matching technique, to read letters.

칠교놀이는 해외에서는 Tangram이라고 불리며 아주 예전부터 전해져 내려오는 세계적인 놀이이다. 친구와 여럿이서 놀이를 할 수 있을 뿐만아니라 혼자서도 즐길 수 있다. 칠교놀이는 특히 창의력 향상에 도움을 주는데 이번 논문에서는 혼자서 쉽게 칠교놀이를 즐길 수 있도록 비전시스템과 라즈베리파이를 이용해서 칠교를 카메라로 인식해 성공하면 보상으로 사탕을 지급하는 놀이를 개발해 보았다. 자판기에 동전을 넣으면, 게임을 시작해서 칠교놀이의 문제를 하나씩 맞출 때 마다 사탕 한 개가 지급되는 방식으로 4차산업혁명 시대에 걸맞는 재미있는 칠교놀이 게임을 만들어 보았다. 본 논문은 OPENCV라이브러리와 라즈베리파이 GPIO라이브러리를 사용하였다. 사용한 부품은 웹캠, 초음파 센서, 서보모터이다. 라즈베리파이를 서버로 설정하고, PC를 클라이언트로 설정하여 서로 데이터를 주고 받을 수 있게 하였다. 라즈베리파이에 OPENCV를 설치하지 않은 이유는 OPENCV가 꽤 높은 사양이 필요하다고 판단하여 비전영상처리는 PC(클라이언트)에서 진행하고, 게임의 진행상황(정답의 여부)을 라즈베리파이(서버)에 보내는 방식으로 정하였다. 반대로 라즈베리파이에서도 동전의 투입 유무를 판단하여 PC(클라이언트)에 게임 시작 신호를 보내는 방식으로 설정하였다. 언어는 라즈베리파이와 PC둘다 Pythond으로 구현하였다.

This paper describes an implementation of the analog front end (AFE) incorporated with the image signal processing (ISP) unit in the SoC, dominating the performance of the CCD image sensor system. New schemes are exploited in the high-frequency sampling to reduce the sampling uncertainty apparently as the frequency increases, in the structure for the wide-range variable gain amplifier (VGA) capable of $0{\sim}36\;dB$ exponential gain control to meet the needed bandwidth and accuracy by adopting a new parasitic insensitive capacitor array. Moreover, the double cancellation of the black-level noise was efficiently achieved both in the analog and the digital domain. The proposed topology fabricated in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process was proved in a full CCD camera system of 10-bit accuracy, dissipating 80 mA at 15 MHz with a 3.3 V supply voltage.

This paper presents a low-complexity barrel distortion correction processor for wide-angle cameras. The proposed processor performs the barrel distortion correction jointly with the color demosaicking, so that the hardware complexity can be reduced significantly. In addition, to reduce the required memory bandwidth, an efficient memory interface is proposed by utilizing the spatial locality of the memory access in the correction process. The proposed processor is implemented with 35K logic gates in a $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS process and its correction speed is 150 Mpixels/s at the operating frequency of 606MHz, where the supported frame size is $2048{\times}2048$ and the required memory bandwidth is 1 read/cycle.
