To evaluate the performance of the hydrodynamic model, we introduced 10 skill assessments that are assorted by two groups: quantitative skill assessments (Absolute Average Error or AAE, Root Mean Squared Error or RMSE, Relative Absolute Average Error or RAAE, Percentage Model Error or PME) and qualitative skill assessments (Correlation Coefficient or CC, Reliability Index or RI, Index of Agreement or IA, Modeling Efficiency or MEF, Cost Function or CF, Coefficient of Residual Mass or CRM). These skill assessments were applied and calculated to evaluate the hydrodynamic modeling at one of Florida estuaries for water level, current, and salinity as comparing measured and simulated values. We found that AAE, RMSE, RAAE, CC, IA, MEF, CF, and CRM are suitable for the error assessment of water level and current, and AAE, RMSE, RAAE, PME, CC, RI, IA, CF, and CRM are good at the salinity error assessment. Quantitative and qualitative skill assessments showed the similar trend in terms of the classification for good and bad performance of model. Furthermore, this paper suggested the criteria of the "good" model performance for water level, current, and salinity. The criteria are RAAE < 10%, CC > 0.95, IA > 0.98, MEF > 0.93, CF < 0.21 for water level, RAAE < 20%, CC > 0.7, IA > 0.8, MEF > 0.5, CF < 0.5 for current, and RAAE < 10%, PME < 10%, CC > 0.9, RI < 1.15, CF < 0.1 for salinity.

In this paper, an efficient blind frequency offset estimation method for radio resource saving in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. In the proposed method, we obtain two time different received OFDM signal blocks by using the cyclic prefix and define the cost function by using the two OFDM signal blocks. We show that the cost function can be approximately expressed as a closed form cosine function. The approximated cosine function can be obtained from three independent cost function values calculated at three different frequency offsets. In the proposed method, the frequency offset can be estimated by calculating a frequency offset minimizing the approximated cosine function without searching all the frequency offset range. Unlike the conventional methods such as MUSIC method, the accuracy of the proposed method is independent of the searching resolution since the closed form solution exists. The computer simulation shows that the performance of the proposed method is superior to those of the MUSIC and the oversampling method.

This paper evaluates software cost estimation models, and presents the most suitable model. First, we transformed a relevant model into variables to make in linear. Second, we evaluated model's performance considering how much suitable the cost data of the actual development software was. In the stage of model performance evaluation criteria, we used MMRE which is the relative error concept rather than the absolute error. Existing software cost estimation model follows Weibull, Gamma, and Rayleigh function. In this paper, Gompertz function model is suggested which is a kind of growth curve. Additionally, we verify the compatability of other different growth curves. As a result of evaluation of model's performance, Gompertz function was considered to be the most suitable for the cost estimation model.

본 논문에서는 변이지도의 정확도 향상을 위하여, 비용 함수를 이용한 교차 일치성 검사 기법을 제안하고, 다양한 조건의 실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리듬이 효율적임을 보였다. 좌우 변이정보를 이용하는 교차 일치성 검사로 오정합을 검출하는 방법을 시도해왔다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 물체의 경계에서 발생하는 오정합을 찾기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 최종 변이의 신뢰도 향상을 위해 교차 일치성 검사의 정확도를 높이는 방법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 영역 기반 스테레오정합 방법은 물체의 경계에서 정확도 높지 못하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 정합창의 크기를 늘리거나 특징 점을 이용한 적응적 가변 정합창을 적용하는 방법을 시도하였다. 하지만, 여전히 기존 교차 일치성 검사를 통한 오정합 검출은 부정확하다. 이러한 영역의 비용 함수 값들을 비교한 결과 첫 번째와 두 번째 값의 차이가 적거나 크게 나타난다. 제안한 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 오정합 검출 능력을 향상 시킨다. 제안한 방법의 결과를 확인하기 위해 스테레오 비전에서 많이 사용되는 영상을 적용하고 분석하였다. 또한, 기존 교차 일치성 검사 방법과 제안한 방법의 객관적으로 비교하기 위해 전체 영역에 대한 오차율 (error ratio)과 교차 일치성 검사로 유효하다고 판단된 변이 값 중 실제 변이 값과 일치하지 않은 변이값의 오차율을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 기존 방법에 비해 제안한 방법이 1~5%정도 낮은 오차율을 보였다

기존의 HMM을 이용한 음성인식기는 대부분 ML 추정에 기초한 Baum-Welch 알고리듬으로 학습되었다. ML학습은 기본적으로 무한한 양의 학습 데이터가 주어지고, 각 모델들이 서로 독립이라는 가정에 기초한다. 하지만 실제적인 학습의 경우에 각 모델들이 서로 독립이라고 보기 어렵고, 학습 데이터의 양도 상당히 제한되어 있어서 인식기의 변별력을 저하시키는 주된 원인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전통적인 패턴분류기법인 Bayes 결정이론에 따라 최소오차율분류를 위한 MAP 수식화를 유도하고, 그에 기초한 HMM의 변별력 있는 학습 알고리듬을 제안한다. 최소오차율분류를 근사화한 사후확률로 표현된 비용함수를 정의하고, 그 비용함수에 조건부 경사강하법을 적용한다. 제안된 알고리듬을 분류하기 어려운 한국어 단음절 인식에 적용한 결과, 기존의 ML 알고리듬으로 학습한 경우 발생한 오인식 개수의 약 10% 가량이 개선되었다.

Load bearing structural members in a wide variety of applications accumulate damage over their service life. During experiment much effort and cost is needed for measuring structural safety assessment. The sparseness and errors of measured data have to be considered during the safety estimation of structures. This paper introduces parameter estimation and damage identification algorithm by a system identification using static and dynamic response. The equation error estimator and response error widely used in system identification are based on the minimization of least squared error between measured and calculated responses by a mathematical model of a structure. Since each estimator has a specific form of application in noisy environment and proposes different definitions for these forms. To study the behaviour of the estimators in noisy environment Using Monte Carlo simulation, and a data measured pertubation scheme is adopted to investigate the influence of measurement errors on identification results. The assessment result by static and dynamic response were compared, and the efficiency and applicabilities of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated through simulated static and dynamic responses of a dimensional truss type structures.

In this paper, an efficient blind carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation method in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. In the proposed method, we obtain two time different received OFDM symbols by using both the cyclic prefix and oversampling technique, and a cost function is defined by using the two OFDM symbols. We show that the cost function can be approximately expressed as a cosine function. Using a property of the cosine function, a formular for estimating the CFO is derived. The estimator of the CFO requires three independent cost function values calculated at three different points of frequency offset. The proposed method is very efficient in computational complexity since no searching operation for the minimum cost value is required. The proposed method reduces 97% of the amount of FFT computation, compared with the ML method. Unlike the conventional methods such as the ML method and the MUSIC] method, the accuracy of the proposed method is independent of the searching resolution since the closed form solution exists. The computer simulation shows that the performance of the proposed method is superior to those of the MUSIC and the ML method.

We study the problem of selecting a subset of sensor nodes in sensor networks in order to maximize the performance of parameter estimation. To achieve a low-complexity sensor selection algorithm, we propose a greedy iterative algorithm that allows us to select one sensor node at a time so as to maximize the log-determinant of the inverse of the estimation error covariance matrix without resort to direct minimization of the estimation error. We apply QR factorization to the observation matrix in the log-determinant to derive an analytic selection rule which enables a fast selection of the next node at each iteration. We conduct the extensive experiments to show that the proposed algorithm offers a competitive performance in terms of estimation performance and complexity as compared with previous sensor selection techniques and provides a practical solution to the selection problem for various network applications.

Calculating of matching cost is an important for efficient stereo matching. To investigate the performance of matching process, the concepts of the existing methods are introduced. Also we analyze the performance and merits of them. The simplest matching costs assume constant intensities at matching image locations. We consider matching cost functions which can be distinguished between pixel-based and window-based approaches. The Pixel-based approach includes absolute differences (AD) and sampling-intensitive absolute differences (BT). The window-based approach includes the sum of the absolute differences, the sum of squared differences, the normalized cross-correlation, zero-mean normalized cross-correlation, census transform, and the absolute differences census transform (AD-Census). We evaluate matching cost functions in terms of accuracy and time complexity. In terms of the accuracy, AD-Census method shows the lowest matching error ratio (the best solution). The ZNCC method shows the lowest matching error ratio in non-occlusion and all evaluation part. But it performs high matching error ratio at the discontinuities evaluation part due to blurring effect in the boundary. The pixel-based AD method shows a low complexity in terms of time complexity.
