본 논문에서는 적응적인 웨이블릿 변환에 기초한 저속 비트율 비디오 코딩 방법의 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 접근 방법은 양자화된 웨이블릿 계수들이 웨이블릿 서브밴드 구조내에서 중복성을 활용하는 메커니즘에 의해서 전처리 된다면 코딩 절차가 더욱 효과적으로 나타난다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 코딩부분의 최적화 활동에 초점을 맞추어 완전한 중복 블록 움직임 보상된 에어프레임에서 일치를 확보하기 위해 이용하고, 향상된 코사인 윈도우를 적용하였다. 또한 웨이블릿 변환은 각 일치한 움직임 보상된 에러 프레임을 전체적인 에너지 컴팩션에 도달하도록 적용된다. 움직임 벡터의 수평적, 수직적 컴포넌트는 적응적 산술적 코딩을 사용하여 독립적으로 인코드되는 반면에 의미있는 웨이블릿 계수는 적응적 산술 코딩을 사용함에 의해서 비트-플레인 순서로 인코드된다. 제안된 부호기는 28Kbits에서 PSNR이 평균적으로 각각 대략 2.07과 1.38dB에 존재하는 H.263과 ZTE를 초과한다. 전체순서 코딩에 대하여도 3DWCVC 방법은 평균적으로 각각 0.35와 0.71dB을 나타내는 H.263과 ZTE보다 우수한 성능을 보인다.

The face shape extracted by the depth values has different appearance as the most important facial feature information and the face images decomposed into frequency subband are signified personal features in detail. In this paper, we develop a method for recognizing the range face images by combining the multiple frequency domains for each depth image and depth fusion using fuzzy integral. For the proposed approach, the first step tries to find the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face from the extracted face area. It is used as the reference point to normalize for orientated facial pose and extract multiple areas by the depth threshold values. In the second step, we adopt as features for the authentication problem the wavelet coefficient extracted from some wavelet subband to use feature information. The third step of approach concerns the application of eigenface and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method to reduce the dimension and classify. In the last step, the aggregation of the individual classifiers using the fuzzy integral is explained for extracted coefficient at each resolution level. In the experimental results, using the depth threshold value 60 (DT60) show the highest recognition rate among the regions, and the depth fusion method achieves 98.6% recognition rate, incase of fuzzy integral.

In this paper, a new time delay estimation algorithm, WTD-LMSTDE was proposed. This method has great improvement in convergence rate relative to the time domain approach by decreasing the eigen value spread of input signal autocorrelation matrix. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated for the cases of time invariant time delay and time varying time delay. In the case of time invariant time delay, the estimation accuracy of WTD-LMSTDE was better than that of LMSTDE from 3.3% to 12.5% with respect to SNR. In the case of time varying time delay, the mean error power of WTD-LMSTDE in linear increased delay environment was decreased about 2.4dB compared to that of LMSTDE under noise-free condition. As a result, we showed that the performance of WTD-LMSTDE is better than of LMSTDE.

본 논문에서는 파이프라인 구조를 이용하여 고성능 1 차원 이산 웨이블렛 변환 필터를 설계하였다. 각 레벨에서 입력이 다운샘플링(downsampling, decimation)되므로 각 레벨의 하드웨어를 폴딩(folding) 기법을 이용하여 곱셈기와 덧셈기를 공유함으로써 복잡도를 개선하였다. 즉, 제안한 구조에서는 레벨 2 와 레벨 3 에서 폴딩된 구조의 C.S.R(Circular Shift Register)곱셈기와 덧셈기를 사용함으로써 하드웨어 효율(hardware utilization)을 각 레벨에서 100%로 높일 수 있다. 또한, 홀수와 짝수의 샘플을 병렬로 입력함으로써 단일 입력의 시스템과 비교할 때, 동일 시간에 병렬화 만큼의 이득을 얻을 수 있었고, 필터 계수는 미러 필터(mirror filter)의 특성을 이용하여 쳐대한 고역 필터(high pass filter)와 저역 필터(low pass filter)의 계수들을 공유함으로써 곱셈기와 덧셈기의 수를 반으로 줄였다. 그리고 임계 경로(critical path)를 줄이기 위한 파이프라인 레지스터를 삽입하여 고성능 시스템을 구현하였다.

In this paper, we propose a novel robust blind crypto-watermarking method for medical images security based on hiding of DICOM patient information (patient name, age...) in the medical imaging. The DICOM patient information is encrypted using the AES standard algorithm before its insertion in the medical image. The cover image is divided in blocks of 8x8, in each we insert 1-bit of the encrypted watermark in the hybrid transform domain by applying respectively the 2D-LWT (Lifting wavelet transforms), the 2D-DCT (discrete cosine transforms), and the SVD (singular value decomposition). The scheme is tested by applying various attacks such as noise, filtering and compression. Experimental results show that no visible difference between the watermarked images and the original images and the test against attack shows the good robustness of the proposed algorithm.

Acoustic emission (AE) technique has been applied to not only mechanical property testing but also on-line monitoring of the el)tire structure or a limit zone only. Although several AE devices have already been developed for the on-line monitoring, the price of these systems is very high and it is difficult for the field to apply yet. In this study, wc developed a specially designed PC-based source location system using the A/D board. The source location technique is very important to identify the source, such as crack, leak detection. However, since the AE waveforms obtained from transducers are very difficult to distinguish the defect signals, therefore, it is necessary to consider the signal analyses of the transient waveform. Wavelet Transform (WT) is a powerful tool for processing transient signals with temporally varying spectra that helps to resolve high and low frequency transients components effectively In this study, the analyses of the AE signals are presented by employing the WT analyses. AE results are compared the PC-based source location system using A/D board with the commercial AE system.

An effective video watermarking algorithm is proposed to protect the copyright. The watermarking procedure is based on a three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (3D DWT) and spread spectrum sequences. Two perceptual binary watermarks are preprocessed using mixing and pseudorandom permutation. After dividing the video sequence into video shots, the 3D DWT is performed, then the preprocessed watermarks are embedded into the 3D DWT coefficients, while considering robustness and invisibility, using two spread spectrum sequences defined as the user key. Experimental results show that the watermarked frames are subjectively indistinguishable from the original frames, plus the proposed video watermarking algorithm is sufficiently robust against such attacks as low pass filtering, frame dropping, frame average, and MPEG coding.

Reducing the radiation dose during CT scanning can lower the risk of radiation exposure, but not only does the image resolution significantly deteriorate, but the effectiveness of diagnosis is reduced due to the generation of noise. Therefore, noise removal from CT images is a very important and essential processing process in the image restoration. Until now, there are limitations in removing only the noise by separating the noise and the original signal in the image area. In this paper, we aim to effectively remove noise from CT images using the wavelet transform-based GAN model, that is, the WT-GAN model in the frequency domain. The GAN model used here generates images with noise removed through a U-Net structured generator and a PatchGAN structured discriminator. To evaluate the performance of the WT-GAN model proposed in this paper, experiments were conducted on CT images damaged by various noises, namely Gaussian noise, Poisson noise, and speckle noise. As a result of the performance experiment, the WT-GAN model is better than the traditional filter, that is, the BM3D filter, as well as the existing deep learning models, such as DnCNN, CDAE model, and U-Net GAN model, in qualitative and quantitative measures, that is, PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and SSIM (Structural Similarity Index Measure) showed excellent results.

In this paper, low-power design and implementation techniques for DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) of the JPEG2000 compression are proposed. In DWT block of the JPEG2000, linear phase 9 tap and 7 tap filters are used. For low-power implementation of those filters, processor technique for DA(Distributed Arithmetic) filter and minimization technique for number of addition in CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) filter are utilized. Proposed filter structure consists of 3 blocks. In the first CSD coefficient block, every possible 4 bit CSD coefficients are calculated and stored. In second processor block, multiplication is done by MUX and addition processor in terms of the binary values of filter coefficient. Finally, in third block, multiplied values are output and stored in flip-flop train. For comparison of the implementation area and power dissipation, proposed and conventional structures are implemented by using Verilog-HDL coding. In simulation, it is shown that 53.1% of the implementation area can be reduced comparison with those of the conventional structure.

In this paper, a new video watermarking algorithm using 3D wavelet transform and position encoding of spread spectrum correlation is proposed as a method for ensuring enough payload in order to protect copyright for video contents. This algorithm provides better robustness than other watermarking methods in bit error and rotation because it uses the position encoding and $4{\times}4$ sample space instead of $1{\times}1$ pixel to express a digit. The evaluation result over 6 video clips shows that the PSNR is over 31dB at strength 11 when histogram is narrow and it satisfies the transparency. Also, it shows the robustness of the proposed watermark algorithm that the BER is 0% to three codecs.
