In this research, we propose a field mismatch compensation method for interlaced scan image and a image restoration technique for removing motion blur. In order to compensate field mismatch, the edge classification-based linear interpolation technique and the method using the object-based motion compensation are described. We also propose an edge estimation method and an motion-based image segmentation algorithm. For removing motion blur, we adopt an adaptive iterative image restoration method using the motion-based segmentation result to improve the quality of restored image.

Deinterlacing is a method to convert interlaced video, including two fields (even and odd), to progressive video. It can be divided into spatial and temporal methods. The deinterlacing method in the spatial domain can easily be hardware-implemented, but yields image degradation if information about the deinterlaced pixel does not exist in the same field. On the other hand, the method in the temporal domain yields a deinterlaced image with higher quality but uses more memory, and hardware implementation is more difficult. Furthermore, the deinterlacing method in the temporal domain degrades image quality when motion is not estimated properly. The proposed method is for deinterlacing in the spatial domain. It uses several deinterlacing methods according to statistical characteristics in neighboring pixel locations. In this procedure, the proposed method uses the C4.5 algorithm, a typical classification algorithm based on entropy for choosing optimal methods from among the candidates. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous deinterlacing methods in terms of objective and subjective image quality.

본 논문에서는 순방향 특성의 열화 없이 항복전압 향상을 위해 플로팅게이트와 필드플레이트를 적용한 AlGaN/GaN HEMTs를 제작하였다. AlGaN/GaN HEMTs에서의 항복전압은 게이트의 하단의 전계분포와 관련이 있다. 제안된 AlGaN/GaN HEMTs의 경우 GaN 층의 공핍영역을 효과적으로 확장시킴으로써 게이트와 드레인 사이의 영역에서의 전계집중을 성공적으로 완화시켰다. 필드플레이트와 플로팅게이트가 모두 적용된 소자의 항복전압이 1106 V인 반면, 필드플레이트만 적용한 소자의 항복전압은 688 V, 플로팅게이트만 적용한 소자의 항복전압은 828 V로 측정되었다.

In this work, the effect of field-degradation of automotive polymeric interior parts on the squeak characteristics was studied for a number of used vehicles with various mileages and years of service. The purpose of this study was to characterize the squeak noise related with long-term degradation in service life. The characteristics of field-degraded polymeric samples are analyzed using Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Complicated carbonyl spectra from FT-IR were deconvoluted into various carbonyls to trace field-degradation phenomenon. In addition, various mechanical tests, i.e. tensile test, hardness test as well as coefficient of friction test, were performed to analyze the variation in mechanical properties due to field-degradation. Squeak noise was measured and analyzed by frequency analysis. It was shown that the changes in the chemical structures of polymer due to field-degradation influenced the variation in mechanical properties, and squeak noise may worsen by increasing the squeak noise level in the wide frequency range. The results indicated that customer complaints regarding the squeak noise coming from used vehicles might be one of the important reliability issues because the increase in sound pressure level especially in the high frequency range could annoy drivers and passengers.

Although the existing NTSC TV standard is highly sophisticated, it has some inherent problems. One of these problems is interlaced scanning, which yields a poor result in terms of the vertical picture resolution. In this paper, we have proposed the interlace to progressive conversion method using the pseudomedian filters. Since the proposed method is processed in the intra field is different from the conventional method using the median filter, it is implemented without using field memory and its performance is same or nearly the same as the corresponding performance of the median filtering method. The performance of the proposed method has been compared with that of conventional methods through computer simulation.

This paper presents a new subfield method that can alleviate the visual artifact called the dynamic false contour (DFC), which occurs on plasma display panels. Nothing that the DFC is caused by the difference of time intervals between the adjacent subfields, we propose a constant slope code, in which the differences are maintained to be constant. Also, we propose a subfield code that can minimize the mean absolute error, considering the trade-off between the peak magnitude of the error and its duration. We will show that the proposed subfield method maintains an adequate performance in the view point of the human visual system, since the bound of the errors increases with the gray scale.

지상파 DTV 방송의 전환 및 도입에 있어 문제점 중의 하나는 지형이나 건물에 의해 전계가 약해지는 곳에서의 낮은 수신성공률이다. NTSC의 경우는 화면이 심하게 열화되더라도 시청 자체는 가능했으나 DTV의 경우에는 수신 한계점보다 낮은 전계이거나 처리한계를 넘는 다중경로 성분이 들어오는 경우 수신자체가 불가능해진다. 또한 NTSC와의 동시방송 기간 중에는 재전송을 위한 주파수 채널의 배치도 쉽지 않은 것이 현실이다. 이 문제에 대한 대안으로 KBS 기술연구소에서는 1999년 하반기부터 DTV 중계기 개발과 더불어 동일 채널 중계기술에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 동일 채널 중계 개념과 이에 따른 중계시스템의 구현 방법을 도출하고 실제 필드테스트 수행 결과를 다양한 각도에서 분석한다.

LED lightings typically do not fail catastrophically during use. However, over time the light output will gradually depreciate. Even if there are same LED lighting, they are so different at all. because of dissimilar the use and environment of each LED lighting. In this paper, we make a description of reliability analysis procedures for the degradation data using collected field data. Reliability analysis procedures are consisted of estimating degradation models and failure time, verification of distribution and parameters of the distribution, and reliability measures estimation. At some point in time, the light emitted from an LED lightings depreciates to a level where it is no longer considered adequate for a specific application.

In this paper, we propose a motion-adaptive de-interlacing method using motion compensated interpolation. In a conventional motion compensated method, a simple pre-filter such as line averaging is applied to interpolate missing lines before the motion estimation. However, this method causes interpolation error because of inaccurate motion estimation and compensation. In the proposed method, EBMF(Edge Based Median Filter) as a pre-filter is applied, and new matching method, which uses two same-parity fields and opposite-parity field as references, is proposed. For further improvement, motion correction filter is proposed to reduce the interpolation error caused by incorrect motion. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides better performance than existing methods.

A new intra field deinterlacing algorithm with edge map in the image block is introduced. Conventional deinterlacing methods usually employ edge-based line average algorithm within pixel-by-pixel approach. However, it is sensitive to variation of intensity. To reduce this shortcoming, we proposed edge direction vector computed by edge map, and also its interpolation technique. We first introduce an edge direction vector, which is computed by Sobel mask, so that finer resolution of the edge direction can be acquired. The proposed edge direction vector oriented deinterlacer operates by identifying small pixel variations in five orientations, while weighted averaging to estimate missing pixel. According to the edge direction of the direction vector, we calculate weights on each edge direction. These weight values multiplied by the candidate deinterlaced pixels in order to successively build approximations of the deinterlaced sequence.
