The treated ballast water from previous treatment contains microorganisms and pathogenic organisms in an filtration treatment system. The advantage of this process can be filtrated to minimize the demage to screen clogging of drum filter with sweeping the solids off rotating the surface of the filter. Another advantage is to drop off the solids with controlling revolution of drum screen in pretreatment filtration process. Also the fact that it is easy to attach and detach a several type of screen for getting the expected water quality is another advantage, too. Filter rotation speed at 20rpmis 40.5cmHg and 40rpm is 36.6cmHg. Filter out impurities from ballast water over 60rpm is 35cmHg. Filtration system removal aquatic organism over $80{\mu}m$ in ballast water. This study shows that the filtration treatment system has a potential for the removal of ballast water.

To utilize sensory data, it is necessary to design architecture for processing and handling data generated from sensors in an IoT environment. Especially in the IoT environment, a thing connects to the Internet and efficiently enables to communicate a device with diverse sensors. But Hadoop and Twister based on MapReduce are good at handling data in a batch processing. It has a limitation for processing stream data from a sensor in a motion. Traditional streaming data processing has been mainly applied a MoM based message queuing system. It has maintainability and scalability problems because a programmer should consider details related with complex messaging flow. In this paper architecture is designed to handle sensory data aggregated The designed software architecture is used to operate an application on the open source framework Storm. The application is conceptually used to transform streaming data which aggregated via sensor gateway by pipe-filter style.

This paper presents a transient noise reduction system in a speech signal. The proposed transient noise reduction system utilizes a median filter to reduce the transient noise. Since the median filter can distort speech during the noise reduction, a long-term prediction (LTP) filter is adopted as a pre-processor to minimize speech distortion. The speech information preserved by the LTP filter is re-synthesized after reducing the noise. This paper verifies the weakness of a linear prediction (LP) filter and the superiority of the LTP filter for preserving the speech component in transient noise presence environment. Applying the proposed system, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of output is improved by 8dB in both speech and noise presence region, and PESQ score is increased by 1 point comparing with noisy input.

This paper addresses the problem of reducing the speckle noise in SAR images by wavelet transformation, using a non-local means(NLM) filter originated for Gaussian noise removal. Log-transformed SAR image makes multiplicative speckle noise additive. Thus, non-local means filtering and wavelet thresholding are used to reduce the additive noise, followed by an exponential transformation. NLM filter is an image denoising method that replaces each pixel by a weighted average of all the similarly pixels in the image. But the NLM filter takes an acceptable amount of time to perform the process for all possible pairs of pixels. This paper, also proposes an alternative strategy that uses the t-test more efficiently to eliminate pixel pairs that are dissimilar. Extensive simulations showed that the proposed filter outperforms many existing filters terms of quantitative measures such as PSNR and DSSIM as well as qualitative judgments of image quality and the computational time required to restore images.

In shallow water active sonar environment, reverberation which is a non-white noise is one of the main source of performance degradation of target detection. In this case, the received signal is whitened before applying matched filter known as an optimum filter in the presence of white noise. However implementation of this method is very difficult because of the non-stationary characteristic of reverberation. Traditionally reverberation is assumed local stationary. In this paper, we estimate a range of stationary of reverberation signal, and then propose a pre-whitening method which improve the performance of pre-whitening block normalized matched filter in presence of non-white reverberation noise. Proposed whitener shows better whitening performance than traditional whitener because it use later as well as before reverberation of target signal. To evaluate performance of the proposed whitener, an actual measurement data sampled at the East-Sea is used for computer simulation. The target detector with new whitener is shown better performance than detector with traditional whitener.

In this study we propose an image denoising algorithm appropriate for mobile smart phone equipped with limited computing ability, which has better performance and at the same time comparable quality comparing with previous studies. The proposed image denoising algorithm for mobile smart phone cameras in low level light environment reduces computational complexity and also prevents edge smoothing by extracting just Gaussian noises from the noisy input image. According to the experiment result, we verified that our algorithm has much better PSNR value than methods applying mean filter or median filter. Also the result image from our algorithm has better clear quality since it preserves edges while smoothing input image. Moreover, the suggested algorithm reduces computational complexity about 52% compared to the method applying original Laplacian mask computation, and we verified that our algorithm has good denoising quality by implementing the algorithm in Android smart phone.

본 논문에서는 2 대의 카메라로부터 입력된 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 가상캐릭터의 동작을 실시간으로 생성하는 방법에 대해 기술한다. 이 시스템은 동작자의 움직임을 캡쳐하기 위해 동작자의 좌, 우 전방에 동기화된 2 대의 컬러 CCD 카메라를 위치시킨다. 카메라로부터 입력된 스테레오 영상을 분석하여 신체의 중심이 되는 루트와 머리, 손, 발과 같은 end-effector의 2차원 특징점을 추출하고, 추출된 특징점들은 카메라의 사영행렬과 추적 알고리즘을 통해 3차원 위치를 생성한다. 생성된 루트와 end-effector 의 3 차원 위치정보는 노이즈 제거를 위한 필터링을 거친 후 역운동학 알고리듬에 적용하고, 인체 관절의 해부학적인 제약조건과 관절간의 상호 연관성 및 전 후 프레임간의 부드러운 연결 동작 생성을 고려하여 중간관절의 위치를 정밀하게 계산한다. 중간관절의 위치를 생성하므로 서 임의 동작자의 움직임에 대한 모든 관절의 정보를 획득할 수 있으며, 획득된 동작 데이터를 가상 캐릭터에 적용하므로 서 캐릭터의 움직임을 실시간으로 생성할 수 있다.

Automatic lipreading is to recognize speech by observing the movement of a speaker's lips. It has received attention recently as a method of complementing performance degradation of acoustic speech recognition in acoustically noisy environments. One of the important issues in automatic lipreading is to define and extract salient features from the recorded images. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction method by using a new filtering technique for obtaining improved recognition performance. The proposed method eliminates frequency components which are too slow or too fast compared to the relevant speech information by applying a band-pass filter to the temporal trajectory of each pixel in the images containing the lip region and, then, features are extracted by principal component analysis. We show that the proposed method produces improved performance in both clean and visually noisy conditions via speaker-independent recognition experiments.

In this paper we implemented various image processing filtering using the format converter. This design method is based on realized the large processor-per-pixel array by integrated circuit technology. These two types of integrated structure are can be classify associative parallel processor and parallel process DRAM (or SRAM) cell. Layout pitch of one-bit-wide logic is Identical memory cell pitch to array high density PEs in integrate structure. This format converter design has control path implementation efficiently, and can be utilize the high technology without complicated controller hardware. Sequence of array instruction are generated by host computer before process start, and instructions are saved on unit controller. Host computer is executed the pixel-parallel operation starting at saved instructions after processing start. As a result, we obtained three result that 1) simple smoothing suppresses higher spatial frequencies, reducing noise but also blurring edges, 2) a smoothing and segmentation process reduces noise while preserving sharp edges, and 3) median filtering may be applied to reduce image noise. Median filtering eliminates spikes while maintaining sharp edges and preserving monotonic variations in pixel values.
