Mosaic is to make a big image by gathering lots of small materials having various colors. With advance of digital imaging techniques, photomosaic techniques using photos are widely used. In this paper, we presents an automatic photomosaic algorithm based on adaptive tiling and block matching. The proposed algorithm is composed of two processes: photo database generation and photomosaic generation. Photo database is a set of photos (or tiles) used for mosaic, where a tile is divided into $4{\times}4$ regions and the average RGB value of each region is the feature of the tile. Photomosaic generation is composed of 4 steps: feature extraction, adaptive tiling, block matching, and intensity adjustment. In feature extraction, the feature of each block is calculated after the image is splitted into the preset size of blocks. In adaptive tiling, the blocks having similar similarities are merged. Then, the blocks are compared with tiles in photo database by comparing euclidean distance as a similarity measure in block matching. Finally, in intensity adjustment, the intensity of the matched tile is replaced as that of the block to increase the similarity between the tile and the block. Also, a tile redundancy minimization scheme of adjacent blocks is applied to enhance the quality of mosaic photos. In comparison with Andrea mosaic software, the proposed algorithm outperforms in quantitative and qualitative analysis.

In this paper, we present an optimized design of RS(23,17) decoder for UWB, which uses the pipeline structured-modified Euclidean(PS-ME) algorithm. Firstly, the modified processing element(PE) block is presented in order to get rid of degree comparison circuits, registers and MUX at the final PE stage. Also, a degree computationless decoding algorithm is proposed, so that the hardware complexity of the decoder can be reduced and high-speed decoder can be implemented. Additionally, we optimize Chien search algorithm, Forney algorithm, and FIFO size for UWB specification. Using Verilog HDL, the proposed decoder is implemented and synthesized with Samsung 65nm library. From synthesis results, it can operate at clock frequency of 250MHz, and gate count is 17,628.

FCM 알고리즘은 입력 벡터와 각 클러스터의 유클리드 거리를 이용하여 구해진 소속도만를 비교하여 데이터를 분류하기 때문에 클러스터링 된 공간에서의 데이터들의 분포에 따라 바람직하지 못한 클러스터링 결과를 보일 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 대칭적 성질을 이용하는 대칭성 측도에 퍼지 이론을 적용하여 군집간의 거리에 따른 변화와 군집 중심의 위치, 그리고 군집 형태에 따라 영향을 덜 받는 개선된 FCM이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 효과적으로 패턴을 분류하기 위해 개선된 FCM 알고리즘을 적용한 개선된 하이브리드 네트워크를 제안한다. 제안된 하이브리드 네트워크는 개선된 FCM 알고리즘을 입력층과 중간층의 학습구조 적용하고 중간층과 출력층의 학습구조는 일반화된 델타학습법을 적용한다. 제안된 방법의 인식성능을 평가하기 위해 2차원 좌표평면 상의 데이터를 기존의 Max_Min 신경망을 이용한 FCM 기반 RBF 네트워크와 FCM 기반 RBF 네트워크, HCM 기반 네트워크와 제안된 방법 간의 학습 및 인식 성능을 비교 및 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 시계열 데이터베이스에서 정규화 변환을 지원하는 서브시퀀스 매칭 알고리즘을 제안한다. 정규화 변환을 시계열 데이터 간의 절대적인 유클리드 거리에 관계 없이, 구성하는 값들의 상대적인 변화 추이가 유사한 패턴을 갖는 시계열 데이터를 검색하는 데에 유용하다. 기존의 서브시퀀스 매칭 알고리즘을 확장 없이 정규화 변환 서브시퀀스 매칭에 단순히 응용할 경우, 질의 결과로 반환되어야 할 서부시퀀스를 모두 찾아내지 못하는 착오 기각이 발생한다. 또한, 정규화 변환을 지원하는 기존의 전체 매칭 알고리즘의 경우, 모든 가능한 질의 시퀀스 길이 각각에 대하여 하나씩의 인덱스를 생성하여야 하므로, 저장 공간 및 데이터 시퀀스 삽입/삭제의 부담이 매우 심각하다. 본 논문에서는 인덱스 보간법을 이용하여 문제를 해결한다. 인덱스 보간법은 인덱스가 요구되는 모든 경우 중에서 적당한 간격의 일부에 대해서만 생성된 인덱스를 이용하며, 인덱스가 필요한 모든 경우에 대한 탐색을 수행하는 기법이다. 제안된 알고리즘은 몇 개의 질의 시퀀스 길이에 대해서만 각각 인덱스를 생성한 후, 이를 이용하여 모든 가능한 길이의 질의 시퀀스에 대해서 탐색을 수행한다. 이때, 착오 기각이 발생하지 않음을 증명한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 질의 시에 주어진 질의 시퀀스의 길이에 따라 생성되어 있는 인덱스 중에서 가장 적절한 것을 선택하여 탐색을 수행한다. 이때, 생성되어 있는 인덱스의 개수가 많을수록 탐색 성능이 향상된다. 필요에 따라 인덱스의 개수를 변화함으로써 탐색 성능과 저장 공간 간의 비율을 유연하게 조정할 수 있다. 질의 시퀀스의 길이 256 ~ 512중 다섯 개의 길이에 대해 인덱스를 생성하여 실험한 결과, 탐색 결과 선택률이 $10^{-2}$일 때 제안된 알고리즘의 탐색 성능이 순차 검색에 비하여 평균 2.40배, 선택률이 $10^{-5}$일 때 평균 14.6배 개선되었다. 제안된 알고리즘의 탐색 성능은 탐색 결과 선택률이 작아질수록 더욱 향상되므로, 실제 데이터베이스 응용에서의 효용성이 높다고 판단된다.

The non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) is a method for analyzing the relation among objects by mapping them onto the Euclidean space. The nMDS is useful when it is difficult to use the concept of distance between pairs of objects due to non-metric dissimilarities between objects. The nMDS can be regarded as an optimization problem in which there are many local optima. Since the conventional nMDS algorithm utilizes the steepest descent method, it has a drawback in that the method can hardly find a better solution once it falls into a local optimum. To remedy this problem, in this paper, we applied the simulated annealing to the nMDS and proposed a new optimization algorithm which could search for a global optimum more effectively. We examined the algorithm using benchmarking problems and found that improvement rate of the proposed algorithm against the conventional algorithm ranged from 0.7% to 3.2%. In addition, the statistical hypothesis test also showed that the proposed algorithm outperformed the conventional one.

This paper proposes an enhanced degree computationless modified Euclid's(E-DCME) algorithm and its architecture for Reed-Solomon decoders. The proposed E-DCME algorithm has shorter critical path delay that is $T_{mult}+T_{add}+T_{mux}$ compared with the existing modified Euclid's algorithm and the degree computationless modified Euclid's(DCME) algorithm since it uses new initial conditions. The proposed E-DCME architecture employing a systolic array requires only 2t-1 clock cycles to solve the key equation without initial latency. In addition, the E-DCME architecture consisting of 3t basic cells has regularity and scalability since it uses only one processing element. The E-DCME architecture using the $0.18{\mu}m$ Samsung standard cell library consists of 18,000 gates.

This paper describes a VLSI design of Reed-Solomon(RS) decoder using the modified Euclid algorithm, with the main theme focused on the $\textit{GF}(2^8)$. To get area-efficient design, a number of new architectures have been devised with maximal register and Euclidean ALU unit sharing. One ALU is shared to replace 18 ALUs which computes an error locator polynomial and an error evaluation polynomial. Also, 18 registers are shared to replace 24 registers which stores coefficients of those polynomials. The validity and efficiency of the proposed architecture have been verified by simulation and by FLEX$^TM$ FPGA implementation in hardware description language VHDL. The proposed Reed-Solomon decoder, which has the capability of decoding RS(208,192,17) and RS(182,172,11) for Digital Versatile Disc(DVD), has been designed by using O.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS TLM Compass$^TM$ technology library, which contains totally 17k gates with a core area of 2.299$\times$2.284 (5.25$\textrm{mm}^2$). The chip can run at 20MHz while the DVD requirement is 3.74MHz.

The problem of Euclidean minimum spanning tree (EMST) is to connect given nodes in a plane with minimum cost. There are many algorithms for the polynomial time problem as EMST. However, for numerous nodes, the algorithms consume an enormous amount of time to find an optimal solution. In this paper, an approximation scheme using a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) algorithm with dividing and parallel processing for the problem is suggested. This scheme enables to construct a large, approximate EMST within a short duration. Although initially devised for the non-polynomial problem, we employ naive PTAS to construct a vast EMST with dynamic programming. In an experiment, the approximate EMST constructed by the proposed scheme with 15,000 input terminal nodes and 16 partition cells shows 89% and 99% saving in execution time for the serial processing and parallel processing methods, respectively. Therefore, our scheme can be applied to obtain an approximate EMST quickly for numerous input terminal nodes.

In this paper, in order to apply the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK to TCM, we propose the $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK modulation technique and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK performing signal set expansion and partition by phase difference. In addition, the Viterbi decoder with branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance of the first phase difference as well as the Lth phase different is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance in differential detection of the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually the same as the sliding multiple detection by using the branch metric with first and Lth order phase difference. We investigate the performance of the uncoded $\pi/4$ shift QPSK and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK with or without the Lth phase difference metric in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) using the Monte Carlo simulation. The study shows that the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK with the Trellis-code i.e. the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK is an attractive scheme for power and bandlimited systems and especially, the Viterbi decoder with first and Lth phase difference metrics improves BER performance. Also, the nest proposed algorithm can be used in the TC $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK as well as TCMDPSK.

Machine learning is an algorithm which learns a computer based on the data so that the computer can identify the trend of the data and predict the output of new input data. Machine learning can be classified into supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Supervised learning is a way of learning a machine with given label of data. In other words, a method of inferring a function of the system through a pair of data and a label is used to predict a result using a function inferred about new input data. If the predicted value is continuous, regression analysis is used. If the predicted value is discrete, it is used as a classification. A result of analysis, no. 8 (5, 3.4, setosa), 27 (5, 3.4, setosa), 41 (5, 3.5, setosa), 44 (5, 3.5, setosa) and 40 (5.1, 3.4, setosa) in Table 3 were classified as the most similar Iris flower. Therefore, theoretical practical are suggested.
