With the recent development of deep composite multiplication neural network learning, deep learning techniques applied to single-image super-resolution have shown good results, and the strong expression ability of deep networks has enabled complex nonlinear mapping between low-resolution and high-resolution images. However, there are limitations in applying it to real-time or low-power devices with increasing parameters and computational amounts due to excessive use of composite multiplication neural networks. This paper uses blocks that extract hierarchical characteristics little by little using information distillation and suggests the Recursive Distillation Super Resolution Network (RDSRN), a lightweight network that improves performance by making more accurate high frequency components through high frequency residual purification blocks. It was confirmed that the proposed network restores images of similar quality compared to RDN, restores images 3.5 times faster with about 32 times fewer parameters and about 10 times less computation, and produces 0.16 dB better performance with about 2.2 times less parameters and 1.8 times faster processing time than the existing lightweight network CARN.

In this study, engineering grade and high intensity reflective sheets were prepared with glass beads and their reflection performance and physical properties were investigated. The reflective sheets prepared by using glass beads are divided into enclosed or encapsulated lens type, depending on whether the glass beads are open in air or not. Because of an extra layer on the glass bead surface, the enclosed lens type reflective sheets show very little change in the properties by bad weather conditions, compared to encapsulated lens type reflective sheets. Optimization of the amount of glass beads on the surface was carried out, which determines the retroreflective properties. Enclosed and encapsulated lens type reflective sheets with various colors were prepared and their coefficients of retroreflection were determined. The encapsulated type reflective sheet with white color shows a coefficient of retroreflection of $210.4cd/1x{\cdot}m^2$, which is higher than the enclosed type ($74cd/1x{\cdot}m^2$). Effect of washing on the reflective property and adhesive power of the reflective sheets was investigated, and it is found that the number of glass beads decreased with washing and the aluminum layer deposited was damaged extensively in the encapsulated lens type reflective sheets.

This study investigates the methodology to evaluate the quantified performance of pavement markings and traffic guide signs using digital images. This methodology is significant to attempt to quantify their performance without large brightness photometer at the nighttime and bad weather. The retroreflective performance of pavement markings are evaluated through the contrast of gray levels of pavements and markings in collected digital images under the case of rain, dampness, and dryness. In addition, the appraisal of retroreflective performance of traffic guide signs are implemented through the comparison between interior illuminated and the existing retroreflective traffic guide signs using the contrast of luminance extracted from the value of RGB of backgrounds and legends in collected digital images according to geometric design, driving lanes, and the distance between the car and the sign. As a result, the retroreflective performance of pavement markings deteriorates about 3.5 times and 2 times under the case of rain and dampness respectively than dryness. Also, the performance of the existing traffic guide signs is significantly influenced by geometric design, driving lanes, and the distance, otherwise interior illuminated traffic guide signs. This methodology can be utilized to construct objective information of performance of traffic safety facilities to select appropriate position of expensive high reflective pavement markings and interior illuminated traffic guide signs considering diverse weather and geometric design.

The computational cost of clothing simulation and rendering is mainly depends on the type of mesh and its quality. Thus, quadrilateral meshes are generally preferred over triangular meshes for the reasons of accuracy and efficiency. This paper presents a method of quadrangulating sewing pattern based on the recursive geometry decomposition method. Herein, we proposed two simple improvements to the previous algorithms. The first one deals with the recursive geometry decomposition in which the physical domain is decomposed into simple and mappable regions. The second proposed algorithm deals with the vertex validation in which the invalid vertex classification can be validated.

Recently, filtering methods for attenuating noise while preserving image details are in progress actively. And SM(standard median) filter showed a great performance for noise removal in impulse noise environment but, it caused edge cancellation error. So, variable methods that modified SM(standard median) filter have been proposed, and CWM(center weighted median) filter is representative. Also, there are several methods to improve the efficiency based on min/max operation in term of preserving detail and filtering speed. In this paper, we managed a pixel corrupted by impulsive noise using min/max value of the surrounding band enclosing a pixel, and compared the efficiency with exiting methods in the simulation.

실시간 운영체제는 정해진 시간 내에 작업처리를 완료해야 하는 분야에 주로 사용되고 있으며, 최적의 실시간 운영체제를 설계 및 개발하기 위해서는 반드시 필요한 몇 가지 조건들이 있다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 운명체제에 필요한 조건 중에서 우선순위 역전 현상을 해결하는 기법을 제안한다. 기존에 우선순위 역전 현상을 해결하기 위하여 Basic Priority Inheritance 프로토콜, Priority Ceilling Emulation 프로토콜 등이 제안되었다. 그러나 이러한 기법들은 복잡한 형태의 우선순위 역전 현상에 대해서는 해결이 불가능하거나, 실행 시 비효율성 등의 문제가 발생하기 때문에 실제로는 여러 가지 기법들과 혼용되어 사용되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 재귀적인 형태의 자료구조를 사용하여 우선순위 역전 현상을 효과적으로 해결하는 기법을 보이고, 기존 기법들과 비교한다.

실시간 시스템의 개발 및 운영에 사용되는 실시간 운영체제는 여러 개의 태스크가 동시에 작업할 수 있는 멀티태스킹 환경과 각 태스크에 우선순위를 부여하여 가장 높은 우선순위의 태스크가 CPU 를 선점하는 스케줄링 방법, 그리고 태스크간 동기화 및 통신을 위한 메커니즘을 제공하고 있다. 또한 여러 태스크들에 의해 사용되는 공유자원을 관리하기 위해 세마포어(Semaphore)를 사용하여 태스크간 동기화를 제공한다. 그러나 하나의 태스크가 세마포어를 이용하여 공유자원에 대해 여러 번 접근 할 경우, 데드락(Deadlock)을 일으킬 소지가 많다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 운영체제인 $iRTOS^{TM}$ 에서 데드락을 방지하기 위한 재귀적 세마포어(Recursive Semaphore)를 설계 및 구현하였다.

A single channel adaptive noise canceling (ANC) technique with a recursive time delay estimator (RTDE) is presented for removing effects of additive noise on the speech signal. While the conventional method makes a reference signal for the adaptive filter using the pitch estimated on a frame basis from the input speech, the proposed method makes the reference signal using the delay estimated recursively on a sample-by-sample basis. As the RTDEs, the recursion formulae of autocorrelation function (ACF) and average magnitude difference function (AMDF) are derived. The normalized least mean square (NLMS) and recursive least square (RLS) algorithms are applied for adaptation of filter coefficients. Experimental results with noisy speech demonstrate that the proposed method improves the perceived speech quality as well as the signal-to-noise ratio and cepstral distance when compared with the conventional method.

We propose a system time synchronization method between embedded Linux-based distributed control devices by using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication and General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) device. The GPIO signal is used as the trigger signal for synchronization and the TCP communication is used to transfer the system time of master Linux, which serves as the reference clock, to slave Linux. Precise synchronization performance is achieved by measuring and compensating for the propagation delay of GPIO signal and the acquisition and setting latency of Linux system time. We build an experimental setup consisting of two embedded Linux systems, and perform extensive experiments to verify the performance of the proposed synchronization method.
