In this paper, an efficient image denoising method using non-local means (NL-means) method in the transform domain is proposed. Survey for various image denoising methods has been given, and the performances of the image denoising method using NL-means method have been analyzed. We propose an efficient implementation method for NL-means method by calculating the weights for NL-means method in the DCT and LiftLT transform domain. By using the proposed method, the computational complexity is reduced, and the image denoising performance improves by using the characteristics of images in the tranform domain efficiently. Moreover, the proposed method can be applied efficiently for performing image denoising and image rescaling simultaneously. Extensive computer simulations show that the proposed method shows superior performance to the conventional methods.

In the direct sequence code division multiple access system, the problem of multiple access interference due to multiple access is generated. A interference cancelling receiver is used to solve this problem. The conventional interference cancelling receiver is structure of successive interference canceller using antenna array. In this structure, the difference of between method I and method II depends on updating weight vector. In this paper, the adaptive blind CMA array interference cancelling receiver using cost function of constant modulus algorithms is proposed to update weight vector at conventional structure. The simulation compared the proposed interference cancelling receiver with two conventional interference cancelling receivers by signal to interference ratio and bit error rate curve under additive white Gaussian noise environment. The simulation results show that the proposed receiver has about the gain of SIR of 1.5[dB] more than method I which is conventional receiver at SIR curve, and about the gain of SIR of 0.5(dB) more than method II. In BER curve, the proposed IC receiver about the gain of SNR of 2[dB] more than method I and about the gain of SNR of 0.5[dB] more than method If, Thus, the proposed interference cancelling receiver has the higher performance than conventional interference cancelling receivers.

In this paper, we propose a visibility enhancement method using dehazing method in fog situation. The proposed method calculate low bound of the transmission rate that indicate fog rate and transmission that processed power operation in each pixel by the user's control. And we obtain the dehazed image using calculated transmission rate. Proposed method is possible real-time processing, because the method don't cause halo effect and drop operations from filtering by closed form. We can obtain the dehazed image in various fog conditions by user control that strength of removing fog can be adjusted according to the dgree of fog.

In this paper, we propose a novel method to effectively eliminate flickering artifacts caused by dehazing in video sequences. When applying a dehazing technique directly to each image in a video sequence, flicker artifacts may occur because atmospheric values are calculated without considering the relation of adjacent frames. Although some existing methods reduce flickering artifacts by calculating highly correlated transmission values between adjacent frames, flickering artifacts may still occur. Therefore, in order to effectively reduce flickering artifacts, we propose a novel approach considering temporal averages of atmospheric light values calculated from adjacent frames. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method achieves better performance of video dehazing with less flickering artifact than existing methods.

본 논문에서는 data-driven 반향제거기 구조에서 타이밍 지터의 보상 방법을 제안한다. V.90PCM 모뎀환경에서 네트윅 클록에 동기가 되어 동작하는 사용자 터미널 모뎀이 디지털 PLL (DPLL)을 이용하여 타이밍 복원을 하면 타이밍 지터 성분이 반향제거기의 성능을 순간적으로 악화 시키게 된다. 제안된 방법은 두개의 계수세트 들로부터 타이밍 지터 발생시 필요한 계수를 디콘볼루션 알고리듬을 이용하여 FIR 필터링을 통해 구하며 발생하는 지터 성분 의 대부분을 보상 해 준다. 또한 제안 방법은 waveform driven 반향제거기에 비해 약간의 성능열화가 있지만 적은 연산량으로 타이밍 지터보상을 할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

본 논문에서는 주어진 영상을 필터링하여 영상의 스타일을 제거하는 방법을 제시한다. 스타일이 제거된 영상은 영상 분류, 특징점 인식, 영상 분할 등의 다양한 용도에 쓰일 수 있다. 또한 원래 영상과 스타일이 제거된 영상을 비교하여 영상의 스타일을 유추할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 주어진 영상에서 스타일 벡터를 계산한 후 계산된 스타일 벡터를 이용하여 영상에 양방향 필터링을 적용한다. 이 때 영상의 경계 부분에서 스타일을 효과적으로 분리하는 방법과 다중 해상 처리 방법을 적용하여 다양한 크기와 방향의 스타일을 찾아낸다. 그 결과 주어진 영상에서 다양한 크기와 방향의 스타일을 제거하고 영상의 중요한 내용만을 효과적으로 나타낸다.

Mechanical removals in decayed teeth have been performed using drill and sharp hand instruments. These methods have some disadvantages such as pain, local anesthesia and overextended cavities Therefore chemo-mechanical excavation of dentin carious lesions has been introduced. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of traditional mechanical methods using burs and chemo-mechanical methods (Carisolv) of caries dentin. Mechanical caries removal was carried with low speed round bur Chemo-mechanical caries excavation was performed with Carisolv (Medi-team), using the Carisolv hand instruments. The mean time to remove caries with two different methods was evaluated and the data analyzed with SPSS software (ver 11.5) by t-test (p < 0.05). For histomorphometry of caries removal were also carried with mechanical or chemo-mechanical (Carisolv) methods from 20 extracted caries permanent molars. Complete caries removal was verified with a $\#$23 sharp explorers, Caries Detector (Kuraray Co. Japan), and standard apical radiography. 1. Chemo-mechanical method was taken more times than mechanical method (1.5 fold) (p < 0.05) 2. Excavation for caries took more time for molar lesion than premolar lesion, and the least time was taken to remove the caries in incisor lesion (p < 0.05). 3. There were no significant differences to remove the caries between the maxilla and mandible (p > 0.05). 4. The remaining carious dentin was detected after the ckemo-mechanical removal of the carious dentin, and no smear layer were seen after the mechanical and chemo-mechanical removal of the carious dentin.

건축자재의 제작 및 도장공정, 합성수지 제조공정 등에서 많이 배출되는 휘발성 유기화합물(Volitile Organic Compounds, 이하 VOCs)은 이동성이 강하고 악취를 유발할 뿐만 아니라 마취성이 강하여 잠재적인 독성 및 발암성을 가진다. 이러한 VOCs의 제거방법 중 광촉매 제거법은 380 nm 이하의 자외선을 흡수하여 표면에서 생긴 전자와 정공으로 대부분의 유해물질을 제거하는 비교적 최근에 개발된 방법이다. 광촉매는 한번의 설치로 반영구적으로 사용할 수 있고 인체에 무해하며 유지비용이 적게 든다는 장점으로 인해 크게 부각되고 있다.
