This paper described the effect of dual clutch transmissions on the stability emissions characteristic in a GDI engine at vehicle Inspection and Maintenance(I/M) program. In order to investigate the influence of direct injection gasoline engine with DCT, the experimental apparatus consisted of GDI engine with 4 cylinder, dynamometer and exhaust emissions analyzer. Analyzed emission gas include CO, HC and NOx results that DCT vehicle in the case of NOx, HC in automatic transmission vehicles less than 1/2 level was confirmed to be exhausted. However vehicle specific power increases CO also has increased.

HVS based transform coding techniques for still images take the lowest spatial frequency and luminance contrast sensitivity as the most crucial factors in determining the image quality perceived by human eye. Only the frequency weighting has been main issue. The proposed Weighted Discrete Cosine Transform (WDCT) has the lowest frequency of about 4 [cyc/deg] in 8$\times$8 subblock with the contrast-weighted DC coefficient. The error criteria have been rederived to adapt the contrast weighting for performance evaluation. The proposed scheme has produced higher quality images compared to the unweighted and other schemes.

In this paper, an adaptive cosine transform coding scheme which incorporate human visual properties into the coding scheme is investigated. Human vision is relatively sensitive to mid-frequency band, and insensitive to very low and very high frequency band. These property was mathematically modelled with MTF(Modulation Transfer Function) through many psychovisual experiment. DCT transforms energy in spatial domain into frequency domain, so can exploit the MTF very efficiently. Another well-known visual characteristics is spatial masking effect that visibility of noise is less in regions of high activity than in regions of low activity. Proposed coding scheme imploys quantization matrix which represent the properties of these spatial frequency response of human vision, and adaptively quality of an image. To compute the activity index of an image block, simple operation is performed in spatial domain, and according to activity index. block of low activity region is more exactly quantized relatively than that of high activity region. Results showed that, at low bit rate, the subjective quality of the reconstructed images by proposed coding scheme is acceptible than that of coding scheme without HVS properties.

In this paper, we propose a novel feature extraction method for face recognition, based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Energy Probability (EP), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). We define an energy probability as magnitude of effective information and it is used to create a frequency mask in OCT domain. The feature extraction method consists of three steps; i) the spatial domain of face images is transformed into the frequency domain called OCT domain; ii) energy property is applied on DCT domain that acquire from face image for the purpose of dimension reduction of data and optimization of valid information; iii) in order to obtain the most significant and invariant feature of face images, LDA is applied to the data extracted using frequency mask. In experiments, the recognition rate is 96.8% in ETRI database and 100% in ORL database. The proposed method has been shown improvements on the dimension reduction of feature space and the face recognition over the previously proposed methods.

In this paper, we propose the architecture of stream producer for MPEG­4 Video encoding. This module receives the quantized coefficient from DCT and Quantization module in macroblock unit and performs the VLC coding according to the encoding mode, and supports the error concealment mode of MPEG­4 and data partitioning mode. Using the VHDL, we designed the module using this architecture and performed the evaluations of this module by performing the post­-simulation.

In this paper we propose a Wavelet- based compression algorithm of HDTV video signals for the purpose of recording HDTV signals in the digital VTR. Comparing to the DCT- based compression method, which only yields unrecognizable DCT coefficients, the low frequency components of Wavelet coefficients maintain recognizable spatial domain information. So, it is more suitable for various VTR operations such as editing and multi-speed mode operations. Also, the adopted Wavelet filter can be Implemented with simple shift operations, which can reduce the computational complexities substantially. The quality of reconstructed HDTV signals with a 4:1 compression ratio turns out to be good enough for the studio use.

We propose an adaptive digital watermarking algorithm using HVS(human visual system) and SOM(Self-Organizing Map) among neural networks. This method adjusts adaptively the strength of the watermark which is embedded in different blocks according to block classification in DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) domain. All blocks in 3 classes out of 4 are selected to embed a watermark. Watermark sequences are embedded in 6 lowest frequency coefficients of each block except the DC component. The experimental results are excellent.

In this study, we propose a model verification algorithm based on DCT and neural network for ATM security system. We construct database about facial images after capturing thirty persons facial images in the same lumination and distance. To simulate model verification, we capture four learning images and test images per a man. After detecting edge in facial images, we detect a characteristic area of square shape using edge distribution in facial images. Characteristic area contains eye bows, eyes, nose, mouth and cheek. We extract characteristic vectors to calculate diagonally coefficients sum after obtaining DCT coefficients about characteristic area. Characteristic vectors is normalized between +1 and -1, and then used for input vectors of neural networks. Not considering passwords, simulations results showed 100% verification rate when facial images were learned and 92% verification rate when facial images weren't learned. But considering passwords, the proposed algorithm showed 100% verification rate in case of two simulations.

In this paper, we proposed the high quality audio watermarking algorithm using MDCT/IMDCT (Modified DCT/Inverse Modified DCT) with psychoacoustic model. Generally, a digital audio watermark is embedding the frequency domain after frequency transform of the digital audio data but the digital audio quality is affected by watermarking. In our scheme, the digital audio data is spread with PN((Pseudo Noise) code and then audio watermark is embedded in MDCT processing that refers psychoacoustic model. In MDCT processing, according to the shape of filter bank output, the block switching selects a window sequence that has 256, 1,024 or 2,048 points interval for high quality audio. The author confirm that when watermark weight ${\alpha}$ is 2.5 below, the detection ratio of watermark is a satisfied to SDMI's(Secure Digital Music Initiative) recommendation 50% above and SM is $50{\sim}68dB$ range with mainly 4 kind of attacks(Compression, Cropping, FFT and Echo).

Since aerosol has a relatively short duration and significant spatial variation, satellite observations become more important for the spatially and temporally continuous quantification of aerosol. However, optical remote sensing has the disadvantage that it cannot detect AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth) for the regions covered by clouds or the regions with extremely high concentrations. Such missing values can increase the data uncertainty in the analyses of the Earth's environment. This paper presents a spatial gap-filling framework using a univariate statistical method such as DCT-PLS (Discrete Cosine Transform-based Penalized Least Square Regression) and FMM (Fast Matching Method) inpainting. We conducted a feasibility test for the hourly AOD product from AHI (Advanced Himawari Imager) between January 1 and December 31, 2019, and compared the accuracy statistics of the two spatial gap-filling methods. When the null-pixel area is not very large (null-pixel ratio < 0.6), the validation statistics of DCT-PLS and FMM techniques showed high accuracy of CC=0.988 (MAE=0.020) and CC=0.980 (MAE=0.028), respectively. Together with the AI-based gap-filling method using extra explanatory variables, the DCT-PLS and FMM techniques can be tested for the low-resolution images from the AMI (Advanced Meteorological Imager) of GK2A (Geostationary Korea Multi-purpose Satellite 2A), GEMS (Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer) and GOCI2 (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) of GK2B (Geostationary Korea Multi-purpose Satellite 2B) and the high-resolution images from the CAS500 (Compact Advanced Satellite) series soon.
