In this paper, a robust transfer alignment method is proposed for a strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS) with norm-bounded parametric uncertainties. The uncertainties are described by the energy bound constraint, i.e., sum quadratic constraint(SQC). It is shown that the SQC can be coverted into an indefinite quadratic cost function in the Krein space. Krein space Kalman filter is designed by modifying the measurement matrix and the variance of measurement noises in the conventional Kalman filter. Since the proposed Krein space Kalman filter has the same recursive structure as a conventional Kalman filter, the proposed filter can easily be designed. The simulation results show that the proposed filter achieves robustness against measurement time delay and high dynamic environment of the vehicle.

The biased zero-error probability and its related algorithms require heavy computational burden related with some summation operations at each iteration time. In this paper, a recursive approach to the biased zero-error probability and related algorithms are proposed, and compared in the simulation environment of shallow water communication channels with ambient noise of biased Gaussian and impulsive noise. The proposed recursive method has significantly reduced computational burden regardless of sample size, contrast to the original MBZEP algorithm with computational complexity proportional to sample size. With this computational efficiency the proposed algorithm, compared with the block-processing method, shows the equivalent robustness to multipath fading, biased Gaussian and impulsive noise.

Automatic lipreading is to recognize speech by observing the movement of a speaker's lips. It has received attention recently as a method of complementing performance degradation of acoustic speech recognition in acoustically noisy environments. One of the important issues in automatic lipreading is to define and extract salient features from the recorded images. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction method by using a new filtering technique for obtaining improved recognition performance. The proposed method eliminates frequency components which are too slow or too fast compared to the relevant speech information by applying a band-pass filter to the temporal trajectory of each pixel in the images containing the lip region and, then, features are extracted by principal component analysis. We show that the proposed method produces improved performance in both clean and visually noisy conditions via speaker-independent recognition experiments.

This paper proposes a frame reliability weighting method to compensate for a time-selective noise that occurs at random positions of speech signal contaminating certain parts of the speech signal. Speech frames have different degrees of reliability and the reliability is proportional to SNR (signal-to noise ratio). While it is feasible to estimate frame Sl? by using the noise information from non-speech interval under a stationary noisy situation, it is difficult to obtain noise spectrum for a time-selective noise. Therefore, we used statistical models of clean speech for the estimation of the frame reliability. The proposed MFR (model-based frame reliability) approximates frame SNR values using filterbank energy vectors that are obtained by the inverse transformation of input MFCC (mal-frequency cepstral coefficient) vectors and mean vectors of a reference model. Experiments on various burnt noises revealed that the proposed method could represent the frame reliability effectively. We could improve the recognition performance by using MFR values as weighting factors at the likelihood calculation step.

The application of object recognition technology has been increased with a growing need to introduce automated system in industry. However, object transformed by noises and shadows appeared from illumination causes challenge problem in object detection and recognition. In this paper, an illumination invariant object detection using a DoG filter and adaptive threshold is proposed that reduces noises and shadows effects and reserves geometry features of object. And also, rotation invariant object recognition is proposed that has trained with neural network using classes categorized by object type and rotation angle. The simulation has been processed to evaluate feasibility of the proposed method that shows the accuracy of 99.86% and the matching speed of 0.03 seconds on ETRI database, which has 16,848 object images that has obtained in various lighting environment.

In the field of speech recognition, as the DNN is applied, the use of speech recognition is increasing, but the amount of calculation for parallel training needs to be larger than that of the conventional GMM, and if the amount of data is small, overfitting occurs. To solve this problem, we propose an efficient method for robust voice feature extraction and voice signal noise removal even when the amount of data is small. Speech feature extraction efficiently extracts speech energy by applying the difference in frame energy for speech and the zero-crossing ratio and level-crossing ratio that are affected by the speech signal. In addition, in order to remove noise, the noise of the speech signal is removed by removing the noise of the speech signal with an average predictive improved LMS filter with little loss of speech information while maintaining the intrinsic characteristics of speech in detection of the speech signal. The improved LMS filter uses a method of processing noise on the input speech signal by adjusting the active parameter threshold for the input signal. As a result of comparing the method proposed in this paper with the conventional frame energy method, it was confirmed that the error rate at the start point of speech is 7% and the error rate at the end point is improved by 11%.

In this paper, we improve noise tolerance in image classification by combining ICA(Independent Component Analysis) with Normalization. When we add noise to the raw image data the degree of noise tolerance becomes N(0, 0.4) for PCA and N(0, 0.53) for ICA. However, when we use the preprocessing approach the degree of noise tolerance after Normalization becomes N(0, 0.75), which shows the improvement of noise tolerance in classification.

본 논문에서는 이미지 데이터의 저작권 보호를 위해 영상변형, JPEG 손실 압축 및 임펄스 잡음에 효과적인 새로운 DM/SS (Direct Matrix/Spread Spectrum) 이미지 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 워터마크 영상을 저작권자의 개인 ID (IDentification)로 확산시킨 다음, 원 영상에 삽입하고 역확산시켜 복원하는 방법이다. 원터마크 영상은 2진 영상을 사용하고, 워터마크 시스템에서 요구되는 비가시성과 외부 공격에 대한 워터마크의 강인성을 확인하기 위하여 PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)과 워터마크 영상의 복원율 (reconstructive rate)을 구한다. 실험 결과, 워터마크가 삽입된 영상의 PSNR은 93.75 dB로 화질저하가 거의 없었고, 확산 이득으로 인하여 32$\times$32 워터마크 영상이 삽입된 영상에서 우수한 워터마크 영상의 복원율을 얻는다는 것을 보인다. 영상변형 및 JPEG 손실 압축 하에서도 우수한 워터마크 복원 결과를 보였고, 임펄스 잡음이 첨가된 영상의 PSNR이 5.54 dB인 경우에도 효과적으로 워터마크 영상을 복원할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Generally the one of serious problems in Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is speech region detection in noise environment. Therefore, this paper propose the new method using energy, lsp varation. As a result of processing time and speech quality of the proposed algorithm, the processing time is reduced due to the accurate detection of inactive period, and there is almot no difference in the subjective quality test. As a result of bit rate, proposed algorithm measures the number of VAD=1 and the result shows predominant reduction of bit rate as SNR of noisy speech is low (about 5∼10 dB).

In order to enhance the robustness against noisy environment, the previous GPS initial synchronization method of DGPS reference stations adopts not only the coherent integration method but also the non-coherent integration method. However the previous GPS initial synchronization method muses the non-coherent integration loss, which is a dominant factor among the signal acquisition losses in noisy environment. And the non-coherent integration loss increases with the strength of noise signal. In this paper, a novel GPS initial synchronization method is proposed for robust DGPS reference stations in noisy environment. This paper presents that the proposed GPS initial synchronization method suppresses the non-coherent acquisition loss. Furthermore, with regard to the mean acquisition time, it is shown that the number of the search cells of the proposed GPS initial synchronization method is much smaller than that of the previous GPS initial synchronization method Finally, through the simulation by the GPS simulator, it is seen that the GPS signal of nigh signal-to-noise ratio can be acquired under increased noise floor using the proposed GPS initial synchronization method.
