We investigated an anti-aliasing (AA) filter for digital camera photography by which the excessively high-frequency components of the image signal are suppressed to avoid the aliasing effect. Our optomechanical AA filter was implemented by applying rapid relative motions to the imaging sensor. By the engineered motion blur of the mechanical dithers, the effective point-spread function (PSF) of the imaging system could be tailored to reject the unwanted high-frequency components of the image. For optimal operations, we developed a spiral filter motion protocol that could produce a Gaussian-like PSF. We experimentally demonstrated that our AA filter provides an improved filtering characteristic with a better compromise of the rejection performance and the signal loss. We also found that the pass band characteristic can be enhanced further by a color-differential acquisition mode. Our filter scheme provides a useful method of digital photography for low-error image measurements as well as for ordinary photographic applications where annoying $moir{\acute{e}}$ patterns must be suppressed efficiently.

Digital decimation filters are used in various digital signal processing systems using ADCs, including digital communication systems and sensor network systems. When the sampling rate of digital data is reduced, aliasing occurs. So, an anti-aliasing filter is necessary to suppress aliasing before down-sampling the data. Since the anti-aliasing filter has to have a sharp transition band between the passband and the stopband, the order of the filter is very high. However, as the order of the filter increases, the complexity and area of the filter increase, and more power is consumed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose two types of decimation filters, focusing on reducing the area of the hardware. In both cases, the complexity of the circuit is reduced by applying the required down-sampling rate in two times instead of at once. In addition, CIC decimation filters without a multiplier are used as the decimation filter of the first stage. The second stage is implemented using a CIC filter and a down sampler with an anti-aliasing filter, respectively. It is designed with Verilog-HDL and its function and implementation are validated using ModelSim and Quartus, respectively.

Frequency domain analysis is a fundamental procedure for understanding the characteristics of visual data. Several studies have been conducted with 2D videos, but analysis of stereoscopic 3D videos is rarely carried out. In this paper, we derive the Fourier transform of a simplified 3D video signal and analyze how a 3D video is influenced by disparity and motion in terms of temporal aliasing. It is already known that object motion affects temporal frequency characteristics of a time-varying image sequence. In our analysis, we show that a 3D video is influenced not only by motion but also by disparity. Based on this conclusion, we present a temporal anti-aliasing filter for a 3D video. Since the human process of depth perception mainly determines the quality of a reproduced 3D image, 2D image processing techniques are not directly applicable to 3D images. The analysis presented in this paper will be useful for reducing undesirable visual artifacts in 3D video as well as for assisting the development of relevant technologies.

Because Filters do both the sampling or Sampled-and-Hold(S/H) operations, it result in the replication of the spectrum of input signal and (unless Nyquist's criterion is satisfied) induce aliasing distortion. In this paper, therefore, we designed AAF(Analog Anti-aliasing Filers) so as to remove high-frequency components from input signal for aliasing distortion prevention before input signal had been processed frequency seletion by filters. and then, researched characteristics of it.

최근 들어 다양한 스테레오 3D 디스플레이 장치의 출시가 활발히 이루어지면서 임의의 스테레오 3D 영상에 대한 효과적인 크기 변환 방법, 즉 스케일링(scaling) 방법에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있다. 그런데 CG 등을 통하여 생성된 경우와 같이 장면의 기하학적 정보를 완벽히 파악할 수 있는 경우를 제외하고는, 정확한 스테레오 3D 영상의 스케일링은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 이러한 제한으로 가장 널리 이용되는 방법은 좌우 영상에 대하여 적절한 2D 스케일링을 수행하고, 그 결과로 적절한 스테레오 3D 영상스케일링이 발생하기를 기대하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 2D 영상 스케일링을 통한 스테레오 3D 영상 스케일링에 있어서, 양안시(binocular vision) 모델에 근거한 기하학적 분석과 주파수 변화 분석을 제시한다. 기하학적 분석을 통해서는 스테레오 3D 영상에서 발생 가능한 왜곡들에 대해서 설명하고, 주파수 변화 분석을 통해서는 디지털 신호의 스케일링에 필수적으로 요구되는 aliasing 왜곡 방지 방법에 대해서도 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 주관적 화질 평가 결과 샘플링 이론 (sampling theory)에만 근거한 필터링 방식에 비해 화질 왜곡을 더욱 효과적으로 억제할 수 있다는 것을 파악할 수 있었다. 따라서, 제안된 방법은 다양한 해상도를 지니는 3D 디스플레이 장치에서의 스테레오 3D 영상 재생에 효과적으로 이용될 것으로 기대된다.

In the study, the design method of reconstruction filter is studied for synchronized sampling which is necessary for order tracking in rotating machinery. The original data sampled at constant intervals, using fixed anti- aliasing filters, is reconstructed by digital reconstruction filter and is resampled at new sampling times calculated by a suitable shaft angle encoder pulse arrival times in order to synchronize with shaft velocity. In addition to eliminating the tracking synthesizer and filters, this new method has no phase noise due to phase-locked loops.

연속-시간 델타-시그마 ADC는 별도의 안티-엘리아싱 필터가 필요하지 않고, 이산-시간 델타-시그마 ADC에 비해 적은 전력 소모로 넓은 대역폭의 신호를 처리할 수 있는 등 여러 가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 델타-시그마 ADC의 특성상 높은 주파수의 클럭으로 신호를 샘플링 하여야 하기 때문에, 이를 낮은 데이터 레이트의 고해상도 디지털 신호로 에일리어싱 없이 낮춰 주기 위한 데시메이션 필터가 복잡하고 고속으로 동작해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 연속-시간 델타-시그마 ADC에 펄스-폭-변조를 적용한 구조를 제안하고 이 구조를 이용함으로써 데시메이션 필터를 룩업 테이블을 이용하여 간단하게 구현할 수 있음을 보인다.

A new digital method of anti-aliasing is presented and is applied to the development of an electric vehicle controller. A layered processing structure and some finite-bit approximation technique, devised in this paper, are the key attributions to the design and implementation of the anti-aliasing filter. The performance of the implemented preprocessing system is tested with several experimental results.

A difference based current transformer (CT) saturation detection algorithm uses the third difference of a secondary current to detect the instants of the beginning/end of saturation. The third difference of a secondary current contains high frequency components when a CT is saturated. Thus, an effect of an anti-aliasing lowpass filter implemented in digital protection relays on the detection algorithm should be studied. This paper describes performance analysis of a lowpass filter on the CT saturation detection algorithm. The cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter is normally set to be half of a sampling frequency. In this Paper, two sampling frequencies of 3,840 (Hz) corresponding to 64 sample/cycle (s/c) and 1,920 (Hz) corresponding to 32 (s/c) are studied; the cutoff frequencies of the lowpass filters are set to be 1,920 (Hz), 960 (Hz) and 960(Hz), 480(Hz), respectively. And the proposed algorithm is verified by experiment. A 2nd order Butterworth filter is designed as a lowpass filter. The test results and experiment results clearly indicate that the saturation detection algorithm successfully detects the instants of the beginning/end of saturation even though a secondary current is filtered by the designed lowpass filters.
