본 논문에서는 유전자 프로그래밍을 이용하여 판단 기준을 탐색할 수 있는 자율 이동로봇의 센서 해석회로를 진화 하드웨어상에 구현하였다. 자율 이동 로봇은 센서 정보를 통하여 환경 정보를 인지하고 자율성을 유지한다. 그러나 기존의 센서 체계는 첫째, 잡음의 영향을 심하게 받으며, 둘째 같은 환경에 대하여 동일한 종류의 센서라 할지라도 심한 편차가 존재하는 관측값을 출력한다는 문제점을 갖는다. 따라서 센서의 특성에 대한 고려없이 판단기준을 결정하면 로봇의 정확한 환경인지를 보장할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 센서 입력값 해석 기준을 센서 특성에 맞추어 적응적으로 변화시키는 센서를 구현하여 입력 해석과정에서의 정확도를 향상하였다.

Currently, with the rapid development of the digital age, multimedia-related image devices become popular. However, images are susceptible to corruption in processing image data due to the impulse noise and active researches have been conducted to restore these images. This paper, in order to restore the damaged images in impulse noise environments, suggested an image restoration algorithm which applies weights depending on spatial distance between directionality and pixel by focusing on damaged pixels. Additionally, this algorithm was compared with existing methods by using the PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) as the objective standard to judge whether there were improved effects.

Footstep detection using seismic sensors for security is a very meaningful task, but readings can easily fluctuate due to noise in outdoor environment. We propose NSSC method based on nonlinear spectral subtraction and cross-correlation using prime footstep model signal as a footstep signal refining process that enhances the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and attenuates noise. After de-noising, a detection event classification method is presented as further refining process to ensure that the detection result is a footstep. To validate the proposed algorithm, representative experiments including sunny and rainy-day cases are demonstrated.

The tracking radars in NARO space center are precious, long-range tracking systems for tracking the launch vehicle (KSLV-1) and transmitting TSPI (Time, Space and Position Information) data to MCC (Mission Control Center). Because TSPI data from tracking radars to MCC are important information for the launch mission and flight safety control, TSPI data are required to be more accurate. In this paper, we analyzed theoretically the required specification of the random noise error in tracking radar and verified the real random noise error. In this analysis, we evaluated the TSPI data of several flight tests performed in NARO space center.

In this paper, we proposed that immersive audio effect method using the effective noise to improve engagement in free-viewpoint TV(FTV) service. In the basketball court, we monitored the frequency spectrums by acquiring continuous audio data of players and referee using shotgun and wireless microphone. By analyzing this spectrum, in case that users zoomed in, we determined whether it is effective frequency or not. Therefore when users using FTV service zoom in toward the object, it is proposed that we need to utilize unnecessary noise instead of removing that. it will be able to be useful for an immersive audio implementation of FTV.

The image signals are corrupted by various noises in signal processing and the noises caused the degradation phenomenon. gaussian noise occurs in the process of transmission. Many studies are being accomplished to restore those signals which corrupted by additive gaussian noise. In this paper, the algorithm is proposed to remove AWGN. The algorithm first calculates the mask's standard deviation and next according to the thresholds separated as three levels, then calculates the weight which for different location in the mask's pixels. At last the mean value of the modified mean filter's is the output. Also we compare existing methods through the simulation and using PSNR as the standard of judgement of improvement effect.

Recently, based on the human speech recognition (HSR) model of Fletcher, the multi-band speech recognition has been intensively studied by many researchers. As a new automatic speech recognition (ASR) technique, the multi-band speech recognition splits the frequency domain into several sub-bands and recognizes each sub-band independently. The likelihood scores of sub-bands are weighted according to reliabilities of sub-bands and re-combined to make a final decision. This approach is known to be robust under noisy environments. When the noise is stationary a sub-band SNR can be estimated using the noise information in non-speech interval. However, if the noise is non-stationary it is not feasible to obtain the sub-band SNR. This paper proposes the inverse sub-band distance (ISD) weighting, where a distance of each sub-band is calculated by a stochastic matching of input feature vectors and hidden Markov models. The inverse distance is used as a sub-band weight. Experiments on 1500∼1800㎐ band-limited white noise and classical guitar sound revealed that the proposed method could represent the sub-band reliability effectively and improve the performance under both stationary and non-stationary band-limited noise environments.

Median Filters in the Signal Processing have been most widely used and have demonstrated the most strongest effects. This paper proposes the Adaptive Median Filters by using noise detection. The basic algorithm of the proposed filters is to determine whether noise or not by the each noise judgement standards, and then take the Median Filter if it satisfies the conditions as a result of judgement and returns to the original image(No Filters) if not. This paper presented Noise Detection by Local Variance and Local Central Variance for noise judgement, compared and analyzed the features and performance of existing [5]∼[10] Filters. Filter improved on the result of executing the existing filters at the same condition and showed the effects over that when it was judged with naked eyes. Accordingly, the Adaptive Median Filters by Local Variance and Local Central Variance was proven to have reinforced edge preservation ability and have the strong features for removing the Impulse Noise of the Median Filter.

In the calculation of wave propagation by Boussinesq equation model, it is very common to experience numerical noises generated from nonlinear interaction and breaking wave occurrence, and the numerical solution is rapidly diverged unless the noises are properly controlled. A comparative study was here undertaken for the characteristics of three different lowpass filters (FFT filter, Gaussian filter and Shapiro filter) which are all designed to be applied to the interim results of numerical calculation. The numerical results obtained with application of respective filter techniques were compared with the results of an existing hydraulic experiment for the aspects of noise suppression, conservation of main signal and altering time. The results show that the Shapiro filter can be best applied with optimal choices of its element number, pass number and filtering tune interval. The combination of the number of filter element off, pass number of 50 or less, and application interval of 100 to 200 time steps generally showed good performance in both accuracy and efficiency of the numerical calculation.

Recently, the image processing is utilized in various fields and many studies on the image restoration have been carried out in order to remove the noise occurring in the process of data transmission, processing and storage. There are many types of noises added to the image according to the cause and shape, and AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) is one of typical noises. This paper proposed an algorithm which applies the weighting of filter differently according to the standard deviation in order to alleviate AWGN added to the image, and compared this algorithm with the current methods using PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) as a criterion of judgment.
