웨이브렛 이론은 응용수학에서 처음 소개된 후 다중해상도 표면 및 이산신호의 부대역 분해방법 등에 대한 단일화된 이론을 제공하고 있으며 최근 신호처리 전반에 걸쳐 널리 이용되고 있는 이론이다. 본 논문에서는 최근 들어 신호저리분야의 새로운 기법으로 제시된 웨이브렛 이론에 대한 소개와 더불어 이를 이용하여 음성개선, 유성음/무성음/묵음 판별, 끝점검출, 피치 및 성문 폐쇄시점 검출 등의 음성신호처리에 적용한 예들을 소개한다.

In the communication system, adaptive equalizer using LMS algorithm has slow convergence rate in spite of effectiveness and simplicity. In this paper, we designed the wavelet transform based adaptive equalizer to overcome this problem. The performance of this new approach is compared with that of the time domain LMS algorithm by convergence rate with respect to change of channel distortion and filter order. As a result, the wavelet transform based adaptive equalizer shows the improvements in the speed of convergence compared with LMS algorithm based adaptive equalizer.

The human auditory system is appropriate for the "constant Q"system. The STFT (Short Time Fourier Transform) is not suitable for the auditory perception model since it has constant bandwidth. In this paper, the CWT (continuous wavelet transform) is employed for the auditory filter model. In the CWT, the frequency resolution can be adjusted for auditory sensation models. The proposed CWT is applied to the modeling of the JNVF. In addition, other signal processing methods such as STFT, VER-FFT and VFR-STFT are discussed. Among these methods, the model of JNVF (Just Noticeable Variation in Frequency) by using the CWT fits in with the JNVF of auditory model although it requires quite a long time.

웨이브렛 변환을 사용한 영상은 인간의 시각체계(HVS)에 적적한 양자화 및 부호화를 위한 계층적 구조를 제공한다. 인간의 시각이 민감하게 감지하는 부분을 더 정확하게 부호화 하고, 그렇지 못한 부분에서는 적절한 정보의 손실을 허용하는 원리를 이상적으로 적용할 수 있다. 이런 웨이브렛 변환영상의 통계적 특성을 이용한 제로트리 부호화 기법은 중요한 영상계수를 선별하여 영상전체에서 의미있는 계수를 순서대로 부호화 함으로써 매입 파일(Embeded File)을 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 제로트리 부호화 과정중 불확실 구간(Uncertainty Interval)에서 발생하는 오차(Error)를 줄이기 위하여 LBG(Line Bute Gray) 알고리즘을 도입하여 최적의 오차 코드북을 생성한 후 복원시 사용함으로써 결과의 향상을 보였다. 오차교정(Error Correction)은 EZW(Embeded Zerotee Wavelet) 부호화 과정에서 손실되기 쉬운 고주파수 밴드에 적용하여 복원시 영상의 자세한(detail) 성분을 살리는데 효과적이다. JPEG과 같은 DCT 기반 영상압축 결과에 비하여 화질에서 더 좋은 성능을 보일뿐아니라, DCT 특유의 블록화 현상도 제거되었다.

In this paper we propose new image coding using wavelet transform. The new method constructs hierarchical bit plane and progressively transports each bit plane. The proposed algorithms not only supports multi-resolution, dividing original image into special band and various resolution but also reduces blocking effects that come int JPEG. In encoding time this algorithm considers each band characters and priority of transport order, and applies to fast search of image.

스트레스 심전계에서 발생되는 근잡음을 제거하기 위하여 wavelet interpolation filter(WIF)를 설계하였다. WIF는 크게 웨이브렛 변환부와 보간법 적용부로 구성되어 있다. 웨이브렛 변환부는 Haar 웨이브렛을 이용하였으며 심전도 저주파 영역과 고주파 영역으로 분할하는 과정이다. 보간법 적용부에서는 분할되어진 신호 중 A3을 선택하여 신호의 재생 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 보간법을 적용하였다. WIF의 성능을 평가하기 위해서 신호대 잡음비, 재생신호 자승오차 및 표준편차의 파라미터를 이용하였다. 본 실험에서는 MIT/BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스, European ST-T 데이터베이스 및 삼각파형을 이용하여 성능 파라미터를 측정하였다. 결과적으로 WIF는 성능 파라미터에서 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 평균값 필터, 중간값 필터 및 hard thresholding 방법에 비해 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Pipe structures contain many welded zones, and ultrasonic tests are increasingly being performed by using automated testing devices in order to evaluate the weld integrity. An electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is a noncontact transducer that can transmit or receive ultrasonic waves without a couplant. Furthermore, it can easily generate specific guided waves such as SH (shear horizontal) or Lamb waves by altering the design of the coil and magnet. Therefore, an EMAT should be useful for application to an automated ultrasonic inspection system. In this study, SH waves generated using an EMAT were applied to inspect the pipe-weld zone. To analyze the specific SH mode (SH0) from the SH wave signals, wavelet transform was applied. It was found that flaws could be detected precisely because the intensity of the $SH_0$ mode-frequency, which is analyzed by using wavelet transform, is proportional to the length of the flaw.

Ultrasonic pulse echo method comes to be difficult to apply to the multi-layered structure with very thin layer, because the echoes from the top and the bottom of the layer are superimposed. We can easily meet this problem when the silicon chip layer in the semiconductor is inspected by a SAM equipment using fairly low frequency lower than 20MHz by which severe attenuation in the epoxy mold compound of packaging material can be overcome. Conventionally, deconvolution technique has been used for the decomposition of superimposed UT signals, however it has disabilities when the waveform of the transmitted signal is distorted according to the propagation. In this paper, the wavelet transform based deconvolution(WTBD) technique is proposed as a new signal processing method that can decompose the superimposed echo signals with superior performances compared to the conventional deconvolution technique. WTBD method uses the wavelet transform in the pre-stage of deconvolution to extract out the common waveform from the transmitted and received signal with distortion. Performances of the proposed method we shown by through computer simulations using model signal with noise and we demonstrated by through experiments for the fabricated semiconductor sample with partial delamination at the top of silicon chip layer.

본 연구에서는 심전도 신호의 전처리 과정에서 원신호의 왜곡을 최소화하여 기저선을 제거 할 수 있는 웨이브렛 모함수를 결정하기 위하여, European S-T T database의 심전도 신호에 다양한 웨이브렛 모함수를 적용하여 기저선을 제거하였으며 제거효율을 평가하기 위하여 SNR과 RSE를 계산하였다. 실험결과 가장 우수했던 웨이브렛 모함수는 db8(diff: 27.12), coif5(diff: 25.32), sym7(diff: 25.13)이었으며, diff(meanSNR-meanRSE)의 값이 23미만으로는 심전도의 진단 파라미터까지 왜곡시키므로 사용할 수 없다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algerian for wavelet-based sti image coding method that utilizes the rate-distortion (R-D) theory. Since conventional tree-structured image coding schemes do not consider the rate-distortion theory properly, they show reduced coding performance. In this paper, we apply an rate-distortion optimized embedding (RDE) operation into the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm. In this algorithm, we use the rate-distortion slope as a criterion for the coding order of wavelet coefficients in SPIHT lists. We also describe modified set partitioning and rate-distortion optimized list scan methods. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the SPIHT algorithm and the rate-distortion optimized embedding algerian with respect to the PSNR (peak signal-to-noise ratio) performance.
