In this paper, we apply a reverberation suppression method using difference of singular values to improve the short-distance underwater obstacle detection probability in reverberation environment induced by a linear frequency modulation signal. The reverberation suppression method using difference of singular values suppresses LFM reverberation based on subtracting the singular values for a reference beam, assumed to contain only the reverberation, from those for the current beam of interest, assumed to contain the reverberation and target echo. For the validation, the reverberation suppression method using difference of singular values is applied to real oceanic data, which are acquired using the cross type array.

영상검지기에서 차량 탐지를 위해 사용하는 방법은 배경차이(Background Differencing), 장면차이(Frame Differencing), 공간차이(Spatial Differencing), 밝기값 비교(Gray-Level Comparison) 등이 있다. 이 방법들중에서 배경차이 방법은 기준이 되는 배경영상과 입력영상의 차를 구해 차량을 탐지하는데 대부분의 영상검지기에서 채택 되어 사용되는 방법이다. 배경차이 방법에서 가장 중요한 것은 매번 기준이 되는 배경영상을 정확하게 구하는 것 인데, 영상내 차량의 흐름이 원활하다면 어느 배경생성 방법을 사용해도 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있지만 차량의 정체 가 심하거나 장기간 지속되면 좋은 배경을 생성하기가 어렵다 특히 교차로의 경우 진행중인 차량 및 신호 대기중 인 차량이 통시에 존재하므로 배경생성에 더욱 어려움을 겪게된다. 이상에서 제시된 세 가지 배경생성 방법을 고속도로와 교차로에서 적용시켜 각 배경영상 생성 방법을 비교 분석한다.

OSMI/KOMPSAT-I 위성의 Level-0 영상자료의 줄무늬 제거에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이 줄무늬 원인은 크게 2가지로 구분되었다. 하나는 96 pixel CCD의 전반부와 후반부에 따라 얻어지는 신호크기 차이 있으며, 다른 하나는 pixel간의 감도의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 문제는 각 영상자료마다 이들의 보정계수가 일치하지 못하여 매 영상으로부터 새로운 보정계수가 필요하다는 것이다. 줄무늬 제거의 근본적인 접근은 바로 2가지 문제를 해결하는 방향으로 접근하였다. 즉, 첫 번째 문제인 전후반부의 CCD pixel에서 얻어지는 신호의 크기 차이가 감도의 차이인지 아니면 upset 값의 차이인지가 규명되었고, 동시에 각 센서 pixel의 감도 역시 신호의 세기에 따라 감도가 다른 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 모든 줄무늬 보정 정보를 매 영상마다 독립적으로 얻게 하여 OSMI 위성영상의 질을 보다 높일 수 있었다.

This paper derives an approximate expression for the output SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) of Applebaum type adaptive array under the scenario of the interferer's proximity to the desired signal. The approximation is made in terms of array geometry, the arrival direction of desired signal and that of an interfering signal. An interferer in the close proximity of target signal is shown to drastically impair the away performance. An approximate expression for interferer arrival direction which results in a predetermined performance loss is also obtained in terms of array configurations. Proposed approximation agrees with the computer calculated performance impairment when the two signals are apart by less than eight degrees. The allowable proximity of the interfering signal increases with the number of array elements.

Subspace-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms have a difficulty in dealing with coherent signals caused by multi-path environment. As one of attempts to solve this problem, a spatial differencing method is known to be useful for not only estimating DOAs of the coherent signals but also improving the number of resolvable wavefronts even more than the number of antenna elements. However, since the conventional spatial differencing method uses only the partial statistics of the observed data, this method suffers from the performance degradation in estimation accuracy caused by the residual correlation between the uncorrelated signals. To cope with this problem, in this paper, a generalized spatial differencing method is proposed. Unlike the conventional method, the proposed method utilizes the entire statistics of the received signals. Therefore, the additional performance enhancement in both estimation accuracy and the number of resolvable wavefronts can be achieved. The performance analyses with computer simulations show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional method in terms of the estimation accuracy and the number of resolvable wavefronts.

In this paper, we investigated the performances of the distributed video codec with adaptive Gray code to apply for frame-difference signal. That is, the best cases and the worst cases were analyzed and compared by considering the statistical characteristics of the frame difference signal in view of the Gray code allocation. Through computer simulations, if 9-bit data for frame difference signal is generated for luminance signal with 8-bit definition and so n-bit is allocated to the quantized coefficient, we were able to find the best method to reduce the virtual channel noise by adding $256+2^{9-n-1}$ to the frame difference signal. Through computer simulation with test video sequences, it was shown that the performance difference between the best cases and the worst cases is larger than about 1.5dB at same rate. It is expected that the results in this paper are applicable for the transform-domain scheme as well as the pixel-domain scheme.

모니터를 통해 디스플레이 되는 이미지들은 입력 및 출력장치들의 장치 의존적 컬러 신호의 차이와 입력 신호값에 대한 출력 신호 값의 비선형적인 변환으로 인해 원고와 최종 출력물의 컬러에 색상의 차이가 발생한다. 정확한 색재현을 위해서는 올바른 색변환이 이뤄져야 하며 이를 위해서는 필요한 CMS의 도입이 무엇보다 중요하다. 이에 본지에서는 얼마전 국내 최초 첫 여성인쇄공학박사로 탄생된 조가람씨의 학위논문을 통해 입.출력 장치의 색변환 방법과 장치의 특성에 대해 살펴보는 자리를 마련했다. 다음은 조가람 씨가 박사학위 논무으로 제출한 '전자출판에서 입.출력 장치의 컬러 관리에 관한 연구'를 요약, 정리한 것으로 총 3회에 걸쳐 연재한다.

고주파 대역의 소오나를 이용하여 해저면 상태, 즉 해저면 거칠기 및 비균질성의 변화에 따른 음파 산란 영향을 파악하기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 지음향 요소 중, 평균 입도 크기(mean grain size)는 입도 분석을 통하여 결정하였으며, 이를 기초로 하여 나머지 요소들(Density, Velocity Ratio 등)을 결정하였다. 또한 공극률을 측정하여 평균 입도 크기와 비교함으로써, 공극률과 입자 크기 사이의 관계를 나타내보고자 하였다. 이렇게 파악된 해저면 특성들과 해저면에 의해 산란되어 들어오는 신호의 분석을 통하여 해저면의 상태에 따른 신호의 변화를 비교하였다. 획득된 자료들은 해저면의 상태, 즉 해저면 연흔(ripple)의 유무와 해저면내의 비균질성에 따라 수신되는 신호에 차이를 나타내었으며, 또한 입사각, 산란 각 및 방위각의 변화에 따라 신호에 차이를 보였다. 수신된 신호들간의 비교를 통하여 해저면내의 비균질성의 차이에 따른 산란 음파의 변화 양상을 파악하고자 하였다.

To investigate effects of phase mask on susceptibility-weighted images (SWI) using voxel-based analyses in normal elderly subjects. A three-dimensional (3D) gradient echo sequence ran to obtain SWIs in 20 healthy elderly subjects. SWIs with two (SWI2) and four (SWI4) phase multiplications were achieved with positive (PSWI) and negative (NSWI) phase masks to investigate phase mask effects. The voxel-based comparisons were performed using paired t-tests between PSWI and NSWI and between SWI2 and SWI4. Differences of signal intensities between magnitude images and SWI4 were larger than those between magnitude images and SWI2s. Differences of signal intensities between magnitude images and PSWIs were larger than those between magnitude images and NSWIs. Moreover, the signal intensities from NSWI2s and NSWI4s were greater than those from PSWI2s and PSWI4s, respectively. More differences of signal intensities between NSWI4 and PSWI4s were found than those between NSWI2s and PSWI2s in the whole brain images. The voxel-based analyses of SWI could be beneficial to investigate susceptibility differences on the entire brain areas. The phase masking method could be chosen to enhance brain tissue contrast rather than to enhance venous blood vessels. Therefore, it is recommended to apply voxel-based analyses of SWI to investigate clinical applications.

This paper proposes an novel method of minimizing Interference which causes data decision error in digital wireless communications. In this method, in order to suppress ISI which is caused by the phase difference between the transmitted and received signal phases, the transmitted and received signals are always kept orthogonal by compensating the transmitted signal for detecting the phase noise and the delay of the received signal was implemented by MOS circuits. To delay the phase of the signal, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) environment was used. The phase and delay of the signal transmitted through AWGN channel were compensated in the modulator of the transmitter and the compensated signal was demodulated using quasi-direct conversion receiver and QPSK demodulator. ISI suppression was achieved by keeping the orthogonality between the compensated transmitted signal and the receive signal. The error probability of data decision was compared. By simulation the proposed system was proved to be effective in minimizing the ISI.
