Topographic normalization reduces the terrain effects on reflectance by adjusting the brightness values of the image pixels to be equal if the pixels cover the same land-cover. Topographic effects are induced by the imaging conditions and tend to be large in high mountainousregions. Therefore, image analysis on mountainous terrain such as estimation of wildfire damage assessment requires appropriate topographic normalization techniques to yield accurate image processing results. However, most of the previous studies focused on the evaluation of topographic normalization on satellite images with moderate-low spatial resolution. Thus, the alleviation of topographic effects on multi-temporal high-resolution images was not dealt enough. In this study, the evaluation of terrain normalization was performed for each band to select the optimal technical combinations for rapid and accurate wildfire damage assessment using PlanetScope images. PlanetScope has considerable potential in the disaster management field as it satisfies the rapid image acquisition by providing the 3 m resolution daily image with global coverage. For comparison of topographic normalization techniques, seven widely used methods were employed on both pre-fire and post-fire images. The analysis on bi-temporal images suggests the optimal combination of techniques which can be applied on images with different land-cover composition. Then, the vegetation index was calculated from the images after the topographic normalization with the proposed method. The wildfire damage detection results were obtained by thresholding the index and showed improvementsin detection accuracy for both object-based and pixel-based image analysis. In addition, the burn severity map was constructed to verify the effects oftopographic correction on a continuous distribution of brightness values.

본 논문에서는 문서의 자동 분류를 위한 용어 빈도 가중치 계산 방법으로 Box-Cox변환기법을 응용한 정규화 용어빈도 가중치를 정의하고, 이를 문서 분류에 적응하였다. 여기서 Box-Cox 변환기법이란 자료를 정규분포화 할 때 적용하는 통계적인 변환방법으로서, 본 논문에서는 이를 응용하여 새로운 용어빈도가중치 계산법을 제안한다. 문서에서 등장한 용어 빈도는 너무 많거나 적게 등장할 경우, 중요도가 떨어지게 되는데, 이는 용어의 중요도가 빈도에 따른 정규분포로 모델링 될 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 정규화 가중치 계산방법은 기존의 용어빈도 가중치 공식과 비교할 때, 용어마다 계산방법이 달라져, 로그나 루트와 같은 고정된 가중치 방법보다는 좀더 일반적인 방법이라 할 수 있다. 신문기사 8000건을 대상으로 4개의 그룹으로 나누어 실험 한 결과, 정규화 용어빈도가중치 계산방법이 모두 우위의 분류 정확도롤 가져, 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 타당함을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, we Propose a novel cepstrum normalization method which normalizes the probability density function (pdf) of cepstrum for robust speech recognition in additive noise environments. While the conventional methods normalize the first- and/or second-order statistics such as the mean and/or variance of the cepstrum. the proposed method fully normalizes the statistics of cepstrum by making the pdfs of clean and noisy cepstrum identical to each other For the target Pdf, the generalized Gaussian distribution is selected to consider various densities. In recognition phase, we devise a table lookup method to save computational costs. From the speaker-independent isolated-word recognition experiments, we show that the Proposed method gives improved Performance compared with that of the conventional methods, especially in heavy noise environments.

Robust face recognition under various illumination environments is difficult to achieve. For robust face recognition with respect to illumination variations, illumination normalization of face images is usually applied as a preprocessing step. Most of previously proposed illumination normalization methods cannot handle cast shadows in face images effectively. In this paper, We propose a new face illumination normalization method based on the illumination-separated face identity texture subspace. Since the face identity texture subspace is constructed so as to be separated from the effects of illumination variations, the projection of face images into the subspace produces a good illumination-normalized face images. Through experiments, it is shown that the proposed face illumination normalization method can effectively eliminate cast shadows as well as attached shadows and achieves a good face illumination normalization.

Computed tomography has widely been used to diagnose patient disease, and patient dose also increase rapidly. To reduce the patient dose by CT, various techniques have been applied. The iterative reconstruction is used in view of image reconstruction. Image quality of the reconstructed section image through algebraic reconstruction technique, one of iterative reconstruction methods, was examined by the normalized root mean square error. The computer program was written with the Visual C++ under the parallel beam geometry, Shepp-Logan head phantom of $512{\times}512$ size, projections of 360, and detector-pixels of 1,024. The forward and backward projection was realized by Joseph method. The minimum NRMS of 0.108 was obtained after 10 iterations in the regularization parameter of 0.09-0.12, and the optimum image was obtained after 8 and 6 iterations for 0.1% and 0.2% noise. Variation of optimum value of the regularization parameter was observed according to the phantom used. If the ART was used in the reconstruction, the optimal value of the regularization parameter should be found in the case-by-case. By finding the optimal regularization parameter in the algebraic reconstruction technique, the reconstruction time can be reduced.

본 논문에서는 독립 성분 해석(Independent Component Analysis, ICA) 기법과 인근 평균 및 정규화를 이용한 영상 분류 방법을 제안하였다. ICA에 잡음을 주어 영상을 분류하였을 때, 잡음에 대한 강인성을 증가시키기 위하여, 제안된 인근 평균 및 정규화를 전처리로 적용하였다. 제안된 방법은 전처리 없이 ICA에 주성분 해석(Principal Component Analysis, PCA)을 이용한 것에 비해 잡음에 대한 강인성을 증가시키는 것을 모의 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

The massive MIMO system, which is a core technology of 5G communication systems, has a problem that it is difficult to implement in a frequency division duplex system based on limited channel feedback because a large amount of channel information is required at the transmitting end. In order to solve this problem, the Joint Spatial Division and Multiplexing (JSDM) technique that dramatically reduces the channel information requirement by removing interference between the user groups using channel correlation information that does not change for a long time has been proposed. Recently, a regularized JSDM technique has been proposed to further improve performance by allowing residual interference between the user groups. However, such JSDM-related studies were mainly designed to focus on inter-group interference cancellation, and thus performance analysis was not performed in a more realistic environment assuming limited feedback in the intra-group interference cancellation phase. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the JSDM and regularized JSDM techniques according to the number of groups and users in a limited feedback environment, and through the simulation results, demonstrate that the regularized JSDM technique shows a more remarkable advantage compared to the existing JSDM in a limited feedback environments.

요약화일 기법은 대규모 데이터베이스 응용에서 효율적인 색인 기법으로 알려져 있으며 최근에는 보다 빠른 검색을 위해 병렬 요약화일 기법이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 병렬 처리를 할 수 있는 수직 분할 병렬 요약화일(Vertically-partitioned Parallel Signature File, VPSF) 기법을 제안한다. 본 VPSF는 동적인 환경에 잘 적응하도록 신장해싱을 이용하며, 검색의 효율성을 위해 프레임 슬라이스 기법을 사용한다. 실행의 편중을 없애기 위해 요약을 수직으로 분할하여 레코드를 프로세싱노드에 저장함으로써 병렬처리를 수행한다. 뿐만 아니라, 본 논문에서는 VPSF의 효율성을 보이기 위해 성능평가 모델을 제시하고, 실제의 레코드 집합을 가지고 실험을 실시하여 검색시간, 부가저장공간, 삽입시간에 대해 성능을 평가한다. 또한 레코드 집합의 분포에 다른 성능을 평가하기 위해 표준편차를 반으로 줄인 반 정규분포와 두 배로 크게 한 정규분포에 대한 성능평가를 실시한다. VPSF기법은 기존의 병렬 요약화일 기법들과 비교할 때, 실제 레코드 집합의 정규분포에서 기존의 Hamming filter 보다 평균 40% 정도 검색성능이 개선된다. 반 정규분포에서는 Hamming filter 보다 약 50% , HPSF보다 약 20% 정도 개선된 검색 성능을 보인다. 뿐만 아니라, 부가 저장공간 및 삽입시간에도 기존의 방법들보다 좋은 성능을 보인다. 일반적으로 VPSF는 데이터베이스의 레코드 크기가 서로 비슷할 때 그리고 데이터베이스의 크기가 클수록 우수한 검색 성능을 보인다.

In this paper, we consider hierarchical modulation (HM), which has been widely exploited in digital broadcasting systems. In HM, each independent data stream is mapped to the modulation symbol with different transmission power and normalization factors of conventional M-QAM cannot be used. In this paper, we derive the method and formula for exact normalization factor of three-level hierarchical 64QAM.

This paper presents a segmental scheme for regions-composed images in local normalization process. The scheme is based on local statistics computed through a moving window. The normalization algorithm uses linear or nonlinear functions to transfer the pixel distribution and the homogeneous affine of regions which is corrupted by additive noise. It adjusts the mean and standard deviation for nearest-neighbor interpoint distance between current and the normalized image signals and changes the segmentation performance according to local statistics and parameter variation adaptively. The performance of newly advanced local normalization algorithm is evaluated and compared to the performance of conventional normalization methods. Experimental results are presented to show the region segmentation properties of these approaches.
