The denoising for image restoration based on the Wavelet Packet with absolute average threshold is presented. The Existing method is used standard deviation estimated results in increasing the noise and threshold, and damaging an image quality. In addition that is decreased image restoration PSNR by using the same threshold in spite of changing image because of installing a threshold in proportion of noise size. In contrast, the absolute average threshold with wavelet packet is adapted by changing image to set up threshold by statistic quantity of resolved image and is avoided an extreme impart. The results on the experiment has improved 10% and 5% over than the denoising based on simple wavelet transform and wavelet packet respectively.

Shot change detection is an important technique for effective management of video data, so detection scheme requires adaptive detection techniques to be used actually in various video. In this paper, we propose an adaptive shot change detection algorithm using the mean of feature value on variable reference blocks. Our algorithm determines shot change detection by defining adaptive threshold values with the feature value extracted from video frames and comparing the feature value and the threshold value. We obtained better detection ratio than the conventional methods maximally by 15% in the experiment with the same test sequence. We also had good detection ratio for other several methods of feature extraction and could see realtime operation of shot change detection in the hardware platform with low performance was possible by implementing it in TVUS model of HOMECAST company. Thus, our algerian in the paper can be useful in PMP(portable multimedia player) or other portable players.

The denoising for image restoration based on the Wavelet Packet Transform with AA(Absolute Average) making-threshold is presented. The wavelet packet transform leads to be better in the part of high frequency than wavelet transform to eliminate noise. And the existing threshold determination is used standard deviation estimated results in increasing the noise and threshold, and damaging an image quality. In addition that is decreased image restoration PSNR by using the same threshold in spite of changing image because of installing a threshold in proportion of noise size. In contrast the AA thresholding method with wavelet packet is adapted by changing image to set up threshold by statistic quantity of resolved image and is avoided an extreme impact. The results on the experiment has improved 10% and 5% over than the denoising based on simple wavelet transform and wavelet packet respectively.

In this paper, a new adaptive perceptual filter using variable threshold to enhance audio signals degraded by additively nonstationary noise is proposed. The adaptive perceptual filter updates variable threshold each time according to the power of signal and the effect of noise variation. So the noisy audio signal is enhanced by the method which controls a residual noise effectively. The proposed algorithm uses the perceptual filter which transforms a time domain signal into frequency domain and calculates an intensity energy and an excitation energy in bark domain. In this method. the stage updated the response of filter is decided by threshold. The proposed algorithm using vairable threshold effectively controls a residual noise using the energy difference of audio signals degraded by the additive nonstationary noise. The proposed method is tested with the noisy audio signals degraded by nonstationary noise at various signal -to-noise ratios (SNR). We carry out NMR and MOS test when the input SNR is 15dB. 20dB. 25dB and 30dB. An approximate improvement of 17.4dB. 15.3dB, 12.8dB. 9.8dB in NMR and enhancement of 2.9, 2.5, 2.3, 1.7 in MOS test is achieved with the input signals. respectively.

The adaptive transmission techniques are efficient method for underwater acoustic communication to improve the system efficiency by varying transmission parameters according to channel conditions. In this paper, we construct four transmission modes with different data rates using the convolutional codes, which is freely set to size of information bits. On the receiver side, one critical component of adaptive system is to find which mode has best performance. In this paper, we proposed threshold detection algorithm to decide appropriate mode and applied turbo equalization method based on BCJR decoder in order to improve performance. We analyzed the performance of four modes based on threshold detection algorithm through the lake experiment.

배경 영상에서 움직이는 물체 검출은 대상의 정확한 분류나 움직임, 패턴의 이해 또는 감시 시스템에 활용이 된다. 동적 물체 검출을 위한 여러 방법이 연구되고 제시되었으며, 그 중 일반적으로 차 영상 검출 방법이 많이 사용된다. 이는 시간적으로 연속된 영상 프레임간의 차를 구하고, 이 차 영상에 임계값을 설정하여 이진 영상을 만들어 물체를 검출한다. 기존 여러 연구에서는 이 임계값을 대부분을 고정하여 사용하거나 특정 환경에만 적합하게 설정하였다. 본 논문에서는 주변 환경에 적응하여 임계값을 자동으로 설정하는 방법을 제시하였고, 차 영상 검출 방법에 실제 적용하여 기존 방법에 비해 더 나은 결과를 확인하였다.

In this study, we have designed the variable amplitude threshold algorithm that can enhance the accuracy of step count using variable amplitude. This algorithm converts the x, y, z sensor values into a single energy value($E_t$) by using SVM(Signal Vector Magnitude) algorithm and can pick step count out over 99% of accuracy through the peak data detection algorithm and fixed peak threshold. To prove the results, We made the noise filtering with the fixed amplitude threshold from the amplitude of energy value that found out the detection error was increasing, and it's the key idea of the variable amplitude threshold that can be adapted on the continuous data evaluation. The experiment results shows that the variable amplitude threshold algorithm can improve the average step count accuracy up to 98.9% at 10 Hz sampling rate and 99.6% at 20Hz sampling rate.

In this paper, we proposed an adaptive steganography of color image using bit-planes and multichannel characteristics. Applying fixing threshold, if we insert information into all bit-planes of RGB channel, each channels showed different image quality. Therefore, we first defined the channel weight and the bit-plane weight to solve the fixing threshold problem of BPCS (bit-plane complexity steganography) method. We then proposed a new adaptive threshold method using the bit-plane weight of channels and the bit-plane complexity of cover image to increase insertion capacity adaptively In the experiment, we inserted information into the color images with the same image quality and same insertion capacity, and we analyzed the Insertion capacity and image quality. As a result, the proposed method increased the insertion capacity and improved the image quality than BPCS method.

Salient object attracts more and more attention from researchers due to its important role in many fields of multimedia processing like tracking, segmentation, adaptive compression, and content-base image retrieval. Usually, a saliency map is binarized into black and white map, which is considered as the binary mask of the salient object in the image. Still, the threshold is heuristically chosen or parametrically controlled. This paper suggests using the global optimal threshold to perform saliency map thresholding. This work also considers the usage of multi-level optimal thresholds and the local adaptive thresholds in the experiments. These experimental results show that using global optimal threshold method is better than parametric controlled or local adaptive threshold method.

Shot change detection is the main technique in the video segmentation which requirs real-time processing and automatical processing in hardware. Until now, there were few research reports about real-time shot change detection for applying to hardware terminals with low performance such as PMPs(Portable Media Player) and cellular phones. In this paper, we propose shot change detection technique using adaptive threshold setting method on variable reference block. Our proposed algorithm determines shot change detection by comparing the feature value of current frame and a mean of a feature value on variable reference blocks. The proposed method can be used independently from the feature value of frame, can adaptively set thresholds using a mean of a feature value on variable reference blocks. We obtained better detection ratio than the conventional methods maximally by precision 0.146, recall 0.083, F1 0.089 in the experiment with the same test sequences. We verified real-time operation of shot change detection by implementing our algorithm on the PMP from some company of H. Therefore, our proposing algorithm will be helpful in searching video data on portable media players such as PMPs and cellular phones.
