3D 입체영상을 제작하기 위해서는 2D 영상제작에 비해 오랜 제작 기간과 많은 비용이 발생한다. 비용 절감을 위해 기존의 2D 영상을 3D 입체영상으로 변환하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 2D 영상을 3D 입체영상으로 변환하는 방식은 자동변환방법과 수동변환방법으로 구분할 수 있으며, 고품질의 2D-3D 변환 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 깊이정보 지도(Depth map chart)를 활용한 수동변환 방법을 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 2D-3D 수동변환에 사용되는 깊이정보 지도의 정량적 분석 데이터가 부족하여 사용자가 변환한 이미지에 대한 정확한 기준 깊이값 설정이 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 깊이정보 지도의 깊이값 정보에 대한 정량적 분석 데이터를 바탕으로 한 2D-3D 수동변환 변화범위를 제시함으로써 적정한 영상 변화를 유도할 수 있도록 한다.

In this paper, we designed resistive MMIC mixer using $0.5{\mu}m$ p-HEMT process. This Mixer is designed to have a similar performance in -4 ~ 4 dBm local oscillator signal power level and to maintain a constant conversion loss and linear performance due to the variation of local signal. In order to have such characteristics, we designed new feedback circuit topology by using FET, and minimized performance change for LO signal power level variation, also obtain MMIC mixer characteristics which is able to apply in wideband. In the design result, When the LO signal power is -4 ~ 4 dBm, there was 6 dB conversion loss and it came up with the excellent result that IIP3 got over 30 dBm in 0.5 ~ 2.6GHz frequency band.

In this parer, a wideband low-noise amplifier (LNA) has been realized in a 0.18mm CMOS technology for the applications of subsampling direct-conversion RF receivers. By exploiting the inverter-type transimpedance input stage with a 3rd-order Chebyshev matching network, the wideband LNA demonstrates the measured results of the -3dB bandwidth of 5.35GHz, the power gain (S21) of $12\sim18dB$, the noise figure (NF) of $6.9\sim10.8dB$, and the broadband input/output impedance matching of less than -10dB/-24dB within the bandwidth, respectively. The chip dissipates 32.4mW from a single 1.8V supply, and occupies the area of $0.56\times1.0mm^2$.

3DTV는 아나로그 TV 및 HDTV의 차세대 이슈로 부상하였다. 그러나 대부분의 컨텐츠가 2D로 획득되어 저장되어 있으므로 2D 컨텐츠의 3D로의 변화이 필수적이다. MPEG 및 JVT에서 표준화가 진행되고 있으며 이를 위해 국내외 연구소, 학교, 및 업계가 관심을 가지고 참여하고 있다. 2D/3D 변환은 오래전부터 연구되어 왔으나 실제 응용에서는 기대에 못 미치고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FPGA에 기반하고 VHDL로 코딩하여 2D/3D 변환을 위한 Convolution filter를 적용하였다. 좌우 영상을 생성하기 위하여 Convolution filter로 좌우 영상을 왜곡하였다. 필터의 사용으로 사용자의 위치나 취향에 따라서 영상의 왜곡을 달리하여 효과의 변화를 줄 수 있다.

In this paper, a FM radio receiver integrated circuit has been developed based on $0.5{\mu}m$ CMOS process for Zero-Crossing FM demodulator over the 88MHz to 108MHz band. The receiver is designed with the low-IF architecture, and includes Low Noise Amplifier(LNA), Down-Conversion Mixer, Phase Locked Loop(PLL), IF LPF, and a comparator. The measured results of the LNA and Mixer show that the conversion gain of 23.2 dB, the input PldB of -14 dBm, and the noise figure of 15 dB. The measured analog block of the LPF and comparator show the voltage gain of over 89 dB, and the IF LPF can configure the passband from 600KHz to 1.3MHz with 100KHz step through the internal control register banks. The designed FM radio receiver operates at 4.5V with the total current consumption of 15.3mA, so the total power consumption is about 68.85mW. The commercial FM radio has been successfully received.

This paper presents an integrated low noise and highly linear wideband RF front-end for a digital terrestrial and cable TV tuner, which are used as a part of double-conversion TV tuner. The low noise amplifier (LNA) has a low noise figure and high linearity by adopting a noise canceling technique based on current amplification. The up-conversion mixer and SAW buffer have high linearity by employing a third order intermodulation cancellation technique. The proposed RF front-end is designed in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS and draws 60 mA from a 1.8 V supply voltage. The RF front-end shows a voltage gain of 30 dB, an average single side-band noise figure of 4.2 dB, an IIP2 of 40 dBm, and an IIP3 of -4.5 dBm for the entire band from 48 MHz to 862Hz.

A D-band subharmonically-pumped resistive mixer has been designed, processed, and experimentally tested. The circuit is based on a $180^{\circ}$ power divider structure consisting of a Lange coupler followed by a ${\lambda}$/4 transmission line (at local oscillator (LO) frequency). This monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) has been realized in coplanar waveguide technology by using an InAlAs/InGaAs-based metamorphic high electron mobility transistor process with 100-nm gate length. The MMIC achieves a measured conversion loss between 12.5 dB and 16 dB in the radio frequency bandwidth from 120 GHz to 150 GHz with 4-dBm LO drive and an intermediate frequency of 100 MHz. The input 1-dB compression point and IIP3 were simulated to be 2 dBm and 13 dBm, respectively.

In this paper, a broadband single balanced mixer is presented using a wideband rat-race implementation by vertical coupling. Frequency is selected as $1.5{\sim}3$ GHz for RF, $1.64{\sim}3.14$ GHz for LO, and 140 MHz for IF signals. When LO signal with 6 dBm at 2.7 GHz is injected, a conversion loss of 7.5 dB and RF to LO isolation of 30 dB are obtained. Also, an average conversion loss of 10 dB, RF to LO isolation of 30 dB, and LO to IF isolation of 45 dB are obtained for frequency band of $1.5{\sim}3$ GHz.

We propose a real-time stereoscopic image conversion method that can generate stereoscopic image with different perspective depth using motion parallax from 2-D image and offer realistic 3-D effect regardless of the direction and velocity of the moving object in the 2-D image. The stereoscopic image is generated by computing the motion parallax between adjacent two 2-D images using the proposed method for motion detection, region segmentation and depth map generation. The proposed method is suitable for real-time stereoscopic conversion processing on various image formats. It has been verified the proposed method by comparing between the stereoscopic image of the proposed method and that of MTD.
