본 논문은 디지털 영상 데이터를 대상으로 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 주파수 영역에서 워터마크를 삽입하는 블라인드 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 각기 다른 다양한 디지털 영상 데이터의 특성을 고려하여 영상의 특성을 반영하는 임계값을 적용하고 가우시안 랜덤 수열(Gaussian Random Sequence)을 워터마크로 삽입하여 원본영상과 워터마킹된 영상이 시각적으로 차이가 없도록 한다. 영상의 특성을 반영하기위한 임계값을 실험을 통하여 조절함으로서 영상의 손실정도, 워터마크 정보의 삽입 양, 검출 상관도 등의 관계를 연구하고 인간의 시각적인 특성을 고려하여 비가시도를 향상하였으며 중주파 대역에 워터마크를 삽입함으로서 원본영상의 손실을 최소화하고 다양한 영상 처리에 견고하도륵 하였다. 제안한 방법의 성능 평가를 위해서 JPEG 손실압축 선형 필터링, 비선형 필터링, 잡음첨가 그리고 크로핑 등의 영상 처리를 실험한 결과 높은 상관도와 견고함을 나타내었고 비가시도 측면에서도 시각적으로 인지할 수 없을 만큼 측정되었다.

Wideband speech, characterized by a bandwidth of about 7 kHz (50-7000 Hz), provides a substantial quality improvement in terms of naturalness and intelligibility. Although higher data rates are required, it has extended its application to audio and video conferencing, high-quality multimedia communications in mobile links or packet-switched transmissions, and digital AM broadcasting. In this paper, we present a new bandwidth-scalable coder for wideband speech and audio signals. The proposed coder spits 8kHz signal bandwidth into two narrow bands, and different coding schemes are applied to each band. The lower-band signal is coded using the ITU-T G.729/G.729E coder, and the higher-band signal is compressed using a new algorithm based on the gammatone filter bank with an invertible auditory model. Due to the split-band architecture and completely independent coding schemes for each band, the output speech of the decoder can be selected to be a narrowband or wideband according to the channel condition. Subjective tests showed that, for wideband speech and audio signals, the proposed coder at 14.2/18 kbit/s produces superior quality to ITU-T 24 kbit/s G.722.1 with the shorter algorithmic delay.

영상회의 시스템과 같은 멀티미디어 데이터 통신에서 스케일러빌리티 및 점진적인 전송을 구현하기 위해서 웨이브릿 기반의 영상을 부호화한다. 웨이브릿 기반의 동영상 부호화 기법인 SAMCoW 알고리즘은 움직임이 보상된 오차 영상의 웨이브릿 변환 계수들의 특성으로 인해 제로 트리의 무효 계수 예측이 효과적이지 못하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 직교 웨이브릿(Forward Orthogonal wavelet)을 기반으로 스케일러빌리티 및 점진적인 전송을 지원하며, 움직임이 보상된 오차 영상의 효율적인 부호화를 위해 적응적 임계치를 이용한 대역 확산 부호화 알고리즘을 제안한다.

PB/MC-CDMA is an efficient system which divides the whole frequency band into several blocks, unlike a conventional MC-CDMA system. We propose an efficient resource allocation scheme in Multi-Block PB/MC-CDMA (Partial Block Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access). This system aims to improve frequency efficiency and maximize the total throughput while satisfying predefined threshold over various channel conditions. Through computer simulations, we confirm that the performance of the proposed system is more effective in terms of throughput.

This paper is proposed a wavelet-based the order statistics MAD(Median Absolute Deviation) method of image fusion of Multi-image contaminated with visible image and infrared image. also The method of compared and defined the threshold the wavelet coefficients using MAD of the wavelet coefficients of the detail subbands was proposed to effectively fusion which of selected the high quality image of the two images. The existed fusion rule may be possible to get the distorted fusion image especially by the distortion in the relation between the pixel and indicator of two images in the existed fusion rules. In order to complement the disadvantage, the threshold of the proposed method sets up the image statistic and excludes the distortion. The hardware design is used FPGA of Xilinx and DSP system for the image fusion and compressed encoding of the proposed algorithm. Therefore the proposed method is totally verified by comparing with the several other multi-image and the proposed image fusion.

We describe the design for a correlator and an access code generator in bluetooth system. These are used for a connection setting, a packet decision and a clock synchronization between Bluetooth units. The correlator consists of two blocks; carry save adder based on Wallace tree and threshold-value decision block. It determines on an useful packet and clock-synchronization for input signal of 1.0Mbps through the sliding-window correlating. The access-code generator also consists of two blocks; BCH(Bose-Chadhuri-Hocquenghem) cyclic encoder and control block. It generates the access-codes according to four steps' generation process based on Bluetooth standard. In order to solve synchronization problem, we make use of any memory as a pseudo random sequence. The proposed correlator and access-code generator were coded with VHDL. An FPGA Implementation of these modules and the simulation results are proved by Xilinx chip. The critical delay and correlative margin based on synthesis show the 4.689ns and the allowable correlation-error up to 7-bit.

In this paper, we proposed a digital watermarking method based on the edge-wavelet transform to protect digital contents copyrights. We find out the optimal watermark insertion region and the proper amount of watermark in order to satisfy robustness and imperceptibility against various attacks such as noise, compression, collusion, clipping, scaling. Especially through this experiment, we could find out the adequate location of watermark insertion and proper amount of watermark and it is also viewed to satisfy robustness and imperceptibility in the lower frequency region with small watermark quantity.

In this paper, a new adaptive audio signal enhancement algorithm is proposed. In order to remove a broadband noise from a noisy signal, a filter is designed and applied adaptively to noisy audio signal. The noisy signal is first transformed to frequency domain and divided into bark domain to calculate excitation energy. A filter will be calculated to eliminate the noise by using the excitation energy and noisy energy which is obtained from a silent area. The filter is adaptively adjusted and continuously applied until the threshold point is met. The algorithm also works well even though the noise's energy change all of a sudden. SNR, NMR comparison and MOS Test are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper a watermarking algorithm is proposed to optimize the capacity of the digital watermark insertion in an experimental threshold using the characteristics of human visual system(HVS), adaptive scale factors, and weight functions based on discrete wavelet transform. After the original image is decomposed by a 3-level discrete wavelet transform, the watermarks for capacity optimization are inserted into all subbands except the baseband, by applying the important coefficients from the experimental threshold in the wavelet region. The adaptive scale factors and weight functions based on HVS are considered for the capacity optimization of the digital watermark insertion in order to enhance the robustness and invisibility. The watermarks are consisted of gaussian random sequences and detected by correlation. The experimental results showed that this algorithm can preserve a fine image quality against various attacks such as the JPEG lossy compression, noise addition, cropping, blurring, sharpening, linear and non-linear filtering, etc.
