An efficient bit rate distribution technique that distributes available bits for multiple objects based on motion vector magnitude, size of object shape, and coding distortion is presented. This coding concept using the three parameters was exploited in MPEG-4 multiple object coding. But the scheme is likely to produce poor results such as allocating more bits to less important objects and degrading picture quality, due to the lack of analysis and research in view of human visual aspect. In this paper importance of each object is represented by the three parameters and visually analyzed. Target bits are distributed according to coding distortion using the pre-assigned shape and motion information.

The quick-response (QR) code is a two-dimensional barcode which is widely being used. Due to several interesting features such as small code size, high error correction capabilities, easy code generation and reading process, the QR codes are used in many applications. Nowadays, a printed color QR code for offline applications is being studied to improve the information storage capacity. By multiplexing color information into the conventional black-white QR code, the storage capacity is increased, however, it is hard to extract the embedded information due to the color crosstalk and geometrical distortion. In this paper, to overcome these problems, a new type of QR code is designed based on the CMYK color model and the local spatial searching as well as the global spatial matching is introduced in the reading process. These results in the recognition rate increase. Through practical experiments, it is shown that the proposed algorithm can perform the bit recognition rate improvement of about 3% to 5%.

This paper presents automatic moving object detection method using the rotating camera covering larger area with a single camera. The proposed method is based on the edge segment matching which robust to the dynamic environment with illumination change and background movement. The proposed algorithm presents an edge segment based background panorama image generation method minimizing the distortion due to image stitching, the background image generation method using Generalized Hough Transformation which can reliably register the current image to the panorama image overcoming the stitching distortions, the moving edge segment extraction method that overcome viewpoint difference and distortion. The experimental results show that the proposed method can detect correctly moving object under illumination change and camera vibration.

The smartphone with camera can easily generate an image instead of a scanner. However the document image through a smartphone can have distortions related rotation or perspective. In this paper, we proposed a method to generate the document image in that distortions are reduced from the captured document image through a smartphone. For this, the original document image through a smartphone is preprocessed using the MSER-b technique to reduce the light effect. Then, the text area contour is extracted using the characteristics of the document image. Lastly, rotation or perspective distortions are reduced using the extracted text area contour. For experiments, the proposed method is compared two other products. Through experiments, we show that the distortions within the captured document image through smartphone can be effectively reduced.

Intermodulation distortion degrades the S/N(signal-to-noise) of the original signal and also affects the adjacent channels. Intermodulation distortion is mainly caused by the nonlinear characteristics of the power amplifier. If the power amplifier with nonlinear characteristics has a memory effect, the intermodulation distortions occurred in the power amplifier are generated in various and complex forms. The predistorter is used as a way to improve intermodulation distortions. In order to efficiently utilize the performance of the predistorter, the memory effect of the power amplifier must be reduced. In this paper, we describe the design method of bias circuit to reduce the memory effect in power amplifiers. To reduce the memory effect, the bias circuit must have a high impedance for the signal and a low impedance for the envelope(modulating signal) and the second harmonic component of the signal. To verify the performance of the bias circuit designed considering the memory effect, a power amplifier operating at 170 ~ 220MHz was designed and implemented. The designed bias circuit has a large impedance in the operating frequency band and low impedance in the envelope signal and the second harmonic of the signal. As a result of the performance measurement, it was found that the asymmetric intermodulation distortion component is improved by 3.7dB.

In this paper, we present spiral pattern which suits for optical simulator to calibrate fisheye lens and compensate geometric distortion. Using spiral pattern, we present calibration without mathematical modeling in advance. Proposed spiral pattern used to input image of optical simulator. Using fisheye lens image, we calibrate a fisheye lens by matching geometrically moved dots to corresponding original dots which leads not to need mathematical modeling. Proposed algorithm calibrates using dot matching which matches spiral pattern image dot to distorted image dot. And this algorithm does not need modeling in advance so it is effective. Proposed algorithm is enabled at processing of pattern recognition which has to get the exact information using fisheye lens for digital zooming. And this makes possible at compensation of geometric distortion and calibration of fisheye lens image applying in various image processing.

Recently, the single plane coordinate system which has one origin is required to create and manage continuous geographic framework data of entire Korean peninsula. For this, UTM-K (Univercial Transverse Mercator-K) was established in 2005. In this paper, the level of distortion was analyzed with respect to the central meridian and scale factor of UTM-K. The latitude and longitude values of the center point of 1/25000 scale digital maps were used for calculating the scale factor which was created by projection and the scale factor was used for index that presents the degree of distortion. As a result, accumulated distortion of scale factor by UTM-K map projection showed about $23.744{\times}10^{-2}$. On the other hand, the minimum distortion which was about $5.1435{\times}10^{-2}$ occurred when central meridian is $127^{\circ}\;42'$ and scale factor of central meridian was 0.99994 respectively.

Speech recognition in digital communication systems has very low performance due to the spectral distortion caused by speech codecs. In this paper, the spectral distortion by speech codecs is analyzed and a pre-processing method which compensates for the spectral distortion is proposed for performance enhancement of speech recognition. Three standard speech codecs. IS-127 EVRC. ITU G.729 CS-ACELP and IS-96 QCELP. are considered for algorithm development and evaluation, and a single method which can be applied commonly to all codecs is developed. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated for three codecs, and by using the speech features extracted from the compensated spectrum. the recognition rate is improved by the maximum of $15.6\%$ compared with that using the degraded speech features.

본 논문에서는 왜곡된 역기전력을 갖는 매입형 영구자석 동기전동기의 토크리플 저감 방법을 제안한다. 역기전력에 왜곡성분이 있는 경우 정현파 전류로 모터 제어 시 역기전력의 왜곡으로 인한 토크리플은 전동기의 진동 증대 및 효율 저하의 요인이 된다. 이러한 토크리플에 의한 전동기의 진동은 특히 저속에서 문제가 된다. 저속운전 시 전동기의 토크리플을 저감하기 위해서는 역기전력의 왜곡에 의한 토크리플을 줄일 수 있는 토크리플 보상 전류제어가 필요하다. 이 경우 토크리플 보상전류를 구하기 위해서는 역기전력의 왜곡성분에 대한 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 역기전력의 왜곡성분을 off_line 방식이 아닌 전류기반 MRAS 관측기를 사용하여 실시간으로 추정하여 토크리플 저감전류를 보상함으로써 토크리플을 저감한다. 제안된 토크리플 저감 알고리듬은 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

The DVC (Distributed Video Coding) provides a theoretical basis for the implementation of light video encoder. Conventionally, lots of studies have been focused on the codec scheme of Stanford University that has a feedback channel to control the bit rate finely. However, the codec scheme can not evaluate the qualities of the frames reconstructed by the received parity bits at the decoder side. This paper presents an efficient method of estimating distortion by correcting the virtual channel noises in side information and then facilitating the measurements of the visual qualities. Through several simulations, it is shown that the proposed method is very efficient in estimating the visual qualities of the reconstructed WZ frames.
