Biodegradation is a natural weathering process by microorganisms to decompose spilled oil or environmental contaminants. To accelerate this process, applying nutrients (fertilizer) or more microorganisms to naturally occurring microorganisms is called 'Bioremediation.' Presently, most popular response technique to spilled oil is mechanical cleanup using booms or skimmers. For the alternative to this technique, chemical dispersants, in-situ burning are used. Another promising alternative is bioremediation and it can clean oil contaminated seashore during enough time. In this paper, types of bioremediation technologies, its usage potential, and important consideration issues when applying this technique were summarized.

Image signal processing is applied in different areas due to diffusion of smart phone, computer, multimedia etc. However, image most is damaged by impulse noise, and the need of denoising technology for improvement of image quality is coming to the fore. The existing methods for denoising such as mean filter and median filter, but they represent poor denoising. Therefore, the removes impulse noise, this paper proposed the modified mean filter algorithm using standard deviation, and as a simulation result, the proposed method showed excellent denoising capabilities to the existing methods.

Background: Deairing from the heart after open heart surgery(cardiopulmonary bypass) is a very important procedure. Artificial arteriovenous fistula was used to remove air, and the efficiency was evaluated by transesophageal echocardiography. Material and Method: Just before termination of cardiopulmonary bypass, a standard pressure transducer line is connected between the stopcocks of the connections in the arterial and venous circuits, creating a small controlled arteriovenous fistula between the arterial and venous cannulas. The degree of intracardiac air and air removal time were evaluated either by transesophageal echocardiography or direct vision of pressure transducer line. Result: By simple procedure, cardiopulmonary time was shortened and air clearing can be confirmed using echocardiography in a few minutes. Conclusion: Creation of arteriovenous fistula using small connecting line between aortic and venous cannula is a very simple and effective method of deairing and preventing of air embolism after open heart surgery.

Background subtraction from video data is one of the most important task in various realtime machine vision applications. In this paper, a new scheme for background subtraction based on the hexagonal pixel sampling is proposed. Generally it has been found that hexagonal spatial sampling yields smaller quantization errors and remarkably improves the understanding of connectivity. We try to apply the hexagonally sampled image to the LBP based non-parametric background subtraction algorithm. Our scheme makes it possible to omit the bilinear pixel interpolation step during the local binary pattern generation process, and, consequently, can reduce the computation time. Experimental results revealed that our approach based on hexagonal spatial sampling is very efficient and can be utilized in various background subtraction applications.

There has been a lot of research into a background separation method, which is a preprocess of a technique of automatically perceiving an invader, and the removal of shadows around a moving object in the video monitoring field. When a moving object is not clearly separated from its shadow, it is difficult to analyze the shape accurately, and it is also hard to trace its position. This study suggests how to utilize a brightness value for removing a shadow. It came from the fact that there appears to be no change of color in the shadow area relative to the background area, and there only occurs a difference in brightness. In addition, this method uses the renewal of a critical value used for the removal of shadow in the previous frame, in the next frame.

A single channel adaptive noise canceling (ANC) technique is presented for removing effects of additive noise on the speech signal. The conventional method obtains a reference signal using the pitch estimated on a frame basis from the input speech. The proposed method, however, gets the reference signal using the delay estimated recursively on a sample by sample basis. To estimate the delay, we derive recursion formula of autocorrelation function and average magnitude difference function. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated for the speech signals distorted by the additive white Gaussian noise. Experimental results with normalized least mean square (NLMS) adaptive algorithm demonstrate that the proposed method improves the perceived speech quality quite well besides the signal-to-noise ratio.

For elimination DC component, the optical recording systems generally exploit WRDS (word-end running digital sum) criterion. However, its performance is degraded if the lengths of the control bits and codewords are increased. Another criterion is MSW (mean-square weight) method. Whereas MSW criterion has the complexity, this hs optimal performance. In this paper, we have proposed a new dc-component suppression method (MPRDS, minimum peak RDS) of the modulation codes for high density optical recording system. This method requires less complexity than MSW's, and the performance is near to MSW's even if the lengths of the control bits and codewords are increased.

H.265/HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)에서는 하드웨어 비디오 인코더의 처리율(Throughput)을 높이기 위하여 동일 CU(Coding Unit) 내 PU(Prediction Unit)들이 병렬로 머지 후보 리스트를 생성할 수 있는 병렬 머지 방법이 표준 기술로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이 방법은 동일 CU 내의 PU 간의 의존성만 제거할 수 있고 코딩 순서상의 이전 CU 와의 의존성은 제거할 수 없다. 결국 이전 CU 의 모드 결정 과정이 완료된 후에 현재 CU 내의 PU 가 머지 후보 리스트를 생성할 수 있기 때문에 높은 처리율 향상을 기대할 수 없다. 또한 CU 내의 대부분의 PU 들이 가장 인접한 MV(Motion Vector)를 머지 후보로 사용하지 못하여 압축 효율에 대한 손실도 크다. 본 논문에서는 이전 CU 와의 의존성을 제거함으로써 높은 처리율을 갖으면서 압축 효율에 대한 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 개선된 병렬 머지 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법은 기존 병렬 머지 방법 대비 동일 화질에서 평균 약 1.8%의 압축률이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

Several types of electrical artifact seen on electroencephalogram( EEG) records are described. Those are the EOG and the PVC roller pump noise, and so on. An adaptive digital filtering of the electroencephalogram( EEG) is a successful way of suppressing mains interference, but it affects some of the frequency components of the signal, whore artifacts may not be acceptable in some cafes of automatic EEG processing. Thus we studied the method for cancelling these artifacts. This proposed method does not use the reference channel, and is realized by connecting the linear predictor and the fixed FIR filter for the EOG artifact, and by cascading the linear predictor and the noise canceller for the pump artifact. The simulation results illustrate the performances of the proposed method in terms of the capability of interferences suppression. In the results we obtained about 20 dB noise reduction.
