Image fusion is the process of combining information from two or more source images of a scene into a single composite image with application to many fields, such as remote sensing, computer vision, robotics, medical imaging and defense. The most common wavelet-based fusion is discrete wavelet transform fusion in which the high frequency sub-bands and low frequency sub-bands are combined on activity measures of local windows such standard deviation and mean, respectively. However, discrete wavelet transform is not translation-invariant and it often yields block artifacts in a fused image. In this paper, we propose a robust image fusion based on the stationary wavelet transform to overcome the drawback of discrete wavelet transform. We use the activity measure of interquartile range as the robust estimator of variance in high frequency sub-bands and combine the low frequency sub-band based on the interquartile range information present in the high frequency sub-bands. We evaluate our proposed method quantitatively and qualitatively for image fusion, and compare it to some existing fusion methods. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is more effective and can provide satisfactory fusion results.

본 논문에서는 이산웨이블렛 변환을 이용한 영상 압축 프로세서를 하드웨어로 구현하였다. 웨이블렛 변환을 위하여 필터뱅크 및 피라미드 알고리즘을 이용하였고 각 필터들은 FIR 필터로 구현하였다. 병렬구조로 이루어져 동일 클럭 싸이클에서 하이패스와 로패스를 동시에 수행함으로써 속도를 향상시킬 뿐 아니라 QMF 특성을 이용하여 DWT 연산에 필요한 승산기의 수를 절반으로 줄임으로써 하드웨어 크기를 줄이고 이용효율 또한 높일 수 있다. 다중 해상도 분해 시 필요한 메모리 컨트롤러를 하드웨어로 구현하여 DWT 계산이 수행되므로 이 융자는 단순한 파라메터 입력만으로 효과적인 압축율을 얻을 수 있도록 구조적으로 설계하였다. 실시간 영상압축 프로세서의 성능 예측을 위하여 MATLAB을 통하여 시뮬레이션 하였고, VHDL을 이용하여 각 모듈들을 설계하였다. 설계한 영상압축기는 Leonaro-Spectrum에서 합성하였고, ALTERA FLEX10KE(EPF10K100 EFC256) FPGA에 이식하여 하드웨어적으로 동작을 검증하였다. 설계된 부호화기는 512×512 Woman 영상에 대하여 33㏈의 PSNR값을 갖는다. 그리고 설계된 프로세서를 FPGA 구현 시 35㎒에서 정상적으로 동작한다.

This paper describes the algorithm for deciding the status of the operating machines in the power plants. It is very important to decide whether the status of the operating machines is good or not in the industry to protect the accidents of machines and improve the operation efficiency of the plants. There are two steps to analyze the status of the running machines. First, we extract the features from the input original data. Second, we classify those features into normal/abnormal condition of the machines using the wavelet transform and the input RMS vector through the K-means algorithm. In this paper we developed the algorithm to detect the fault operation using the K-means method from the sound of the operating machines.

This paper proposes a novel approach to recognize nine kinds of motion for a multifunction myoelectric hand, acquiring four channel EMG signals from electrodes placed on the forearm. To analyze EMG with properties of nonstationary signal, time-frequency features are extracted by wavelet packet transform. For dimensionality reduction and nonlinear mapping of the features, we also propose a feature projection composed of PCA and SOFM. The dimensionality reduction by PCA simplifies the structure of the classifier, and reduces processing time for the pattern recognition. The nonlinear mapping by SOFM transforms the PCA-reduced features to a new feature space with high class separability. Finally a multilayer neural network is employed as the pattern classifier. From experimental results, we show that the proposed method enhances the recognition accuracy, and makes it possible to implement a real-time pattern recognition.

Conventional Fourier analysis can give only limited information about the dynamic characteristics of nonstationary signals. Instead, time-frequency analysis is widely used to investigate the nonstationary signal in detail. Several time-frequency analysis methods are compared for a typical acoustic emission burst generated during the impact between a ferrite ceramic and aluminum plate. This AE burst is inherently nonstationary and random containing many frequency contents, which leads to severe interference between cross terms in bilinear convolution type distributions. The smoothing and reassignment processes can improve the readability and resolution of the results. Spectrogram and scalogram of the AE burst are obtained and compared to get the characteristics information. Renyi entropies are computed for various bilinear time-frequency transforms to evaluate the randomness. These bilinear transforms are reassigned by using the improved algorithm in discrete computation.

홍수로 인한 침수피해 발생을 최소화하기 위해 정확한 하천의 수위 예측과 리드타임 확보가 매우 중요하다. 특히 조석현상의 영향을 받는 감조하천의 경우 기존의 물리적 수문모형의 적용이 제한되어 하천수위 예측의 정확도가 떨어지기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 감조하천 수위 예측의 정확도를 높이기 위해 조석현상을 분리하고 인공신경망을 활용하는 하이브리드 모델을 제안 하였으며 다중 선형회귀분석과 비교 분석하였다. 감조하천에 위치한 교량의 수위데이터에서 Stationary Wavelet Transform으로 조석현상을 분리하였으며, 이외의 수위에 영향을 주는 time series data와 인공신경망(ANN)을 활용하여 1시간, 2시간, 3시간 후의 수위를 예측하였다. 하이브리드 모델은 96% 이상의 정확도를 보였으며 다중 선형회귀 분석과 비교하여도 높은 정확성을 보여주었다.

During normal machine operation, partial discharge(PD) measurements were performed with turbine generator analyzer(TGA) in imitation stator winding of high voltage motors. The motor was energized to 4.47kV, 6.67, respectively. Applied voltage to Imitation winding was used two voltage level, 4.47[kV] and 6.67[kV]. Motors having imitation stator winding were installed with 80pF capacitive couplers at the terminal box. Case of PD Pattern regarding applied voltage phase angel, the PD patterns were displayed two dimensional and three dimensional. TGA summarizes each plot with two quantities such as the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the peak PD magnitude(Qm). As the result, we could discrimidate using TGA the difference of internal and surface discharge for imitation stator winding. We have used the other technique, in order to feature extraction of faulty signals on stator winding, Daubechies Discrete wavelet transform and Harmonics analysis(FFT) about faulty signals.
