본 연구에서는 최근에 개발된 Unscented Particle Filter (UPF)를 사용한 비선형 동적 구조계의 구조계수 규명기법이 연구되었다. 일반적인 비선형 구조계수 추정 문제의 일반 해는 존재하지 않으나, 그에 대한 대안으로써 선형 근사 기법인 extended Kalman filter (EKF)가 비선형 동적 구조계수의 추정에 주로 사용되어왔다. 그러나, EKF는 구간 선형(piecewise linear) 가정으로 인해 biased estimator이고 비선형성이 상대적으로 높을 때 오차가 큰 추정치를 주는 단점을 가진다. 이를 보완하기 위해서 UPF가 개발되었고, 이 기법은 particle filter의 일종으로써 Unscented Kalman filter (UKF)를 사용하여 importance proposal distribution을 생성한다. 수치실험이 SDOF와 MDOF에 대하여 3가지 경우에 대해서 수행되었다. 비선형 SDOF의 수치 실험으로부터 잡음이 가해진 상태에서 UKF가 EKF에 비해 초기 공분산 행렬의 가정에 대해 정확하고 강인한 추정결과를 보여줌을 보였다 최하층의 column에 비선형 거동이 발생하는 5층 전단 빌딩모형의 수치실험으로부터 UKF가 복잡한 구조물의 구조계수 추정능력이 있음을 보여주었다. 여러 가지 수치실험은 UPF가 EKF보다 비선형 동적 구조계수 추정에 있어서 더 나은 방법임을 보여 주었다.

본 논문에서는 직접행렬 대역확산 방식을 사용하여 Hadamard-Walsh 행렬을 워터마크 영상에 첨가한 후, 주파수 영역에서 원 영상에 삽입하고 복원하는 새로운 이미지 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 워터마크 영상은 시각적으로 인식 가능한 패턴(마크, 로고, 심볼, 인장 또는 서명)을 사용한다. 워터마크가 삽입된 영상의 화질저하를 추정하기 위해 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)을 계산하고, 복원된 워터마크의 복원률(reconstructive rate)을 구하여 외부공격에 대한 워터마크의 강인성을 확인한다. 표준영상에 적용해 본 결과, 워터마크가 삽입된 영상의 PSNR은 93.2dB로 우수한 화질을 얻을 수 있었으며 JPEG 손실 압축에서는 78.1% 이상의 워터마크 복원률을 얻을 수 있었고 영상변형 및 임펄스 잡음하에서도 효과적인 워터마크 복원 능력을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose the structure of a high-performance face-detection engine that responds well to facial rotating changes using rotation transformation which minimize the required memory usage compared to the previous face-detection engine. The validity of the proposed structure has been verified through the implementation of FPGA. For high performance face detection, the MCT (Modified Census Transform) method, which is robust against lighting change, was used. The Adaboost learning algorithm was used for creating optimized learning data. And the rotation transformation method was added to maintain effectiveness against face rotating changes. The proposed hardware structure was composed of Color Space Converter, Noise Filter, Memory Controller Interface, Image Rotator, Image Scaler, MCT(Modified Census Transform), Candidate Detector / Confidence Mapper, Position Resizer, Data Grouper, Overlay Processor / Color Overlay Processor. The face detection engine was tested using a Virtex5 LX330 FPGA board, a QVGA grade CMOS camera, and an LCD Display. It was verified that the engine demonstrated excellent performance in diverse real life environments and in a face detection standard database. As a result, a high performance real time face detection engine that can conduct real time processing at speeds of at least 60 frames per second, which is effective against lighting changes and face rotating changes and can detect 32 faces in diverse sizes simultaneously, was developed.

SSL (Sound Source Localization) has been applied to several applications such as man-machine interface, video conference system, smart car and so on. But in the process of sound source localization, angle estimation error is occurred mainly due to the non-linear characteristics of the sine inverse function. So an approach was proposed to decrease the effect of this non-linear characteristics, which divides the microphone's covering space into narrow regions. In this paper, we proposed an optimal space dividing way according to the pattern of microphone array. In addition, sound source's 2-dimensional position is estimated in order to evaluate the performance of this dividing method. In the experiment, GCC-PHAT (Generalized Cross Correlation PHAse Transform) method that is known to be robust with noisy environments is adopted and triangular pattern of 3 microphones and rectangular pattern of 4 microphones are tested with 100 speech data respectively. The experimental results show that triangular pattern can't estimate the correct position due to the lower space area resolution, but performance of rectangular pattern is dramatically improved with correct estimation rate of 67 %.

We propose an algorithm for extracting the boundary of a desired object with shape information obtained from sample images. Considering global shape obtained from sample images and edge orientation as well as edge magnitude, the Proposed method composed of two steps finds the boundary of an object. The first step is the approximate segmentation that extracts a rough boundary with a probability map and an edge map. And the second step is the detailed segmentation for finding more accurate boundary based on the SEEL (seed-point extraction and edge linking) algorithm. The experiment results using IR images show robustness to low-quality image and better performance than conventional segmentation methods.

The proposed method inserts a watermark information not mto a whole Image region but only into regions of interest(ROIs) To extract the ROIs, we divide an original Image into sub-blocks and use modified Shi-Kuo Chang's PIM(picture information measure) as the criteria to select the ROIs Considering the directional information and frequency bands, we insert the watermark information into sub-blocks m the DCT domain. The proposed method can reduce the distortion in comparison With the other methods which utilize the whole Image as an nor The proposed method makes much less damaged Images m comparison to the other methods And those Images processed by the proposed algorithm are more robust to the changes caused by signal processing operations such as resampling, clipping. noise, and so on Also due to the block-based watermark insertion, the proposed method has the robustness to the Image compression processes such as JPEG and MPEG.
