We propose an efficient method of extracting targets within a region of interest in non-homogeneous infrared images by using a principal component analysis (PCA) plane and adaptive Gaussian kernel. Existing approaches for extracting targets have been limited to using only the intensity values of the pixels in a target region. However, it is difficult to extract the target regions effectively because the intensity values of the target region are mixed with the background intensity values. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel PCA based approach consisting of three steps. In the first step, we apply a PCA technique minimizing the total least-square errors of an IR image. In the second step, we generate a binary image that consists of pixels with higher values than the plane, and then calculate the second derivative of the sum of the square errors (SDSSE). In the final step, an iteration is performed until the convergence criteria is met, including the SDSSE, angle and labeling value. Therefore, a Gaussian kernel is weighted in addition to the PCA plane with the non-removed data from the previous step. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better segmentation performance than the existing method.

본 논문에서, 영상에서 임펄스 잡음을 효과적으로 제거하고, 연산 속도를 개선하기 위해 Fuzzy Cellular Neural Network(FCNN)구조에 Hausdorff distance(HD)를 적용한 $\alpha$-Least Trimmed Square HD($\alpha$-LTSHD) 기반 FCNN 구조를 제안한다. FCNN는 Cellular Neural Network(CNN) 구조에 퍼지 이론을 적용한 것이고, HD는 특징 대상의 대응 없이 이진 영상의 두 픽셀 집합 사이의 거리를 구하는 척도로 물체의 정합에 널리 사용한다. 성능 평가를 위해, 제안된 방법을 MSE와 SNR을 이용하여 기존 FCNN, Opening-Closing(OC) 그리고 LTSHD 연산자를 적용한 FCNN과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 망(network) 구조의 성능이 다른 필터보다 임펄스 잡음 제거에 우수함을 확인하였다.

A Hausdorff distance (HD) is one of commonly used measures for object matching. It calculates the distance between two point sets of edges in two-dimensional binary images without establishing correspondences. This paper proposes three object matching algorithm using robust HD measures based on M-estimation, least trimmed square (LTS), and .alpha.-trimmed mean methods, which are more efficient than the conventional HD measures. By computer simulation with synthetic and real images, the matching performance of the conventional HD smeasures and proposed' robust ones is compared.

본 논문은 차세대 고속무선 DTV(Digital Television)를 위한 터보복호기반의 위상 옵셋 추정 기법이 대해 연구하였다. 위상 추정기법은 터보 복호기 외부에 추정기를 두어 다음 상태의 위상을 추정하기 위해 LMS (Least Mean Square) 방식을 사용하였다. 기존의 LMS 방식은 구현이 간결하지만 고정의 스텝 사이즈를 가지고 있으므로 시간에 따라 변화하는 다중 경로 환경에서는 채널 추정이 힘들며 트래킹 능력이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고정 스텝 사이즈가 아닌 채널의 상태에 따라 스텝 사이즈를 변화 시키는 가변 스텝사이즈를 갖는 LMS 방식을 제안한다. 모의실험은 임의의 위상 옵셋에 대하여 수행되었으며, 제안한 방식이 기존의 방식에 비해 개선된 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

광대역 무선 디지털 통신 시스템용 파이프라인 적응 결정귀환 등화기(pipelined adaptive decision-feedback equalizer; PADFE)를 0,25-${\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 사용하여 full custom 단일 칩으로 설계하였다. ADFE의 동작속도를 향상시키기 위해 DLMS(delayed least-mean-square)을 적용한 2-stage 파이프라인 구조로 설계하였다. PADFE의 필터와 계수갱신 블록 등 모든 연산을 redundant binary(RB) 수치계로 처리하였으며, 2의 보수 수치계를 사용하는 기존의 방식에 비해 연산량의 감소와 동작속도의 향상이 얻어졌으며, 또한 전체적인 구조의 단순화에 의해 VLSI 구현이 용이하다는 장점을 갖는다. COSSAP을 이용한 알고리듬 레벨 시뮬레이션을 통해 파이프라인 stage 수, 필터 tap 수, 계수 및 내부 비트 수 등의 설계 파라메터 결정과 bit error rate(BER), 수렴속도 등을 분석하였다. 설계된 PADFE는 약 205,000개의 트랜지스터로 구성되며, 코어의 면적은 41.96\times1.35-mm^2$이다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 2.5-V 전원전압에서 200-MHz의 클록 주파수로 동작 가능할 것으로 예상되며, 평균 전력소모는 약 890-mW로 예측되었다. 제작된 칩의 테스트 결과로부터 기능이 정상적으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

Through time-series BV CCD photometry of the open cluster NGC 225 region, we have detected 30 variable stars including 22 new ones. They are five ${\delta}$ Scuti-type variable stars, a slowly pulsating B star, six eclipsing binary stars and 18 semi-long periodic or slow irregular variables, respectively. We have performed multiple-frequency analysis to determine pulsation frequencies of the ${\delta}$ Scuti-type stars and a slowly pulsating B star, using the discrete Fourier transform and linear least-square fitting methods. We also have derived the periods and amplitudes of 6 eclipsing binaries and a long-period variable star from the phase fitting method, and presented the light curves of all variable stars. A slowly pulsating B star is a member of NGC 225, but ${\delta}$ Scuti-type stars are not members from the positions in the color-magnitude diagram and the radial distancies from the center of the cluster. From Dias et al. (2014, A&A, 564, 79), only three variable stars including the slowly pulsating B star are members of clusters: two are in NGC 225 and one is in Stock 24. But a variable star in Stock 24 is not a member of the cluster because of its position of color-magnitude diagarm.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the relationship between sleep bruxism(SB) and pulpal calcifications in young women. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 female participants between 20 and 31 years of age who were referred to our radiology clinic for a dental check-up, including 59 SB and 41 non-SB patients, were sampled for the analysis. SB was diagnosed based on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine criteria. All teeth were evaluated on digital panoramic radiographs to detect pulpal calcifications, except third molars, teeth with root canal treatment, and teeth with root resorption. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for pulpal calcifications. The Spearman correlation coefficient was applied and the Pearson chi-square test was used for categorical variables. To test intra-examiner reproducibility, Cohen kappa analysis was applied. P values <.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: A total of 2800 teeth were evaluated (1652 teeth from SB patients and 1148 from non-SB patients), and 61% of patients had at least 1 dental pulpal calcification. No statistically significant relationship was found between SB and pulpal calcifications (P>0.05). In SB patients, the total number of pulpal calcifications was 129, while in non-SB patients, it was 84. Binary logistic analysis showed that SB was not a risk factor for the presence of pulpal calcifications(odds ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.52-2.69, P>.05). Conclusion: No relationship was found between SB and pulpal calcifications.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for designing the R-G filter that has optimum performance in terms of mean square sidelobe level(MSSL) for the Barker code. The advantage of the conventional R-G filter lies in its simple structure so that it can be easily implemented. However, the conventional R-G filter dose not have optimum performances in terms of peak sidelobe level(PSL), mean sidelobe level(MSL), and MSSL. Recently, a(R-G)LP filter of which filter coefficients are obtained by the linear programming algorithm was proposed and known to have optimum performance in PSL. The proposed (R-G)LS filter keeps the simple structure of the conventional R-G filter and has the filter coefficients that minimizes the sidelobe in the least square sense. The analytic results show that the proposed (R-G)LS filter has better performances than the conventional R-G filter in terms of PSL, MSL, and MSSL. Compared with (R-G)LP filter, the proposed (R-G)LS filter has better performances in terms of MSL and MSSL. The proposed filter design algorithm can be applied to the other binary codes such as truncated pseudonoise(PN) codes and concatenated codes.

Many image hiding schemes based on least significant bit (LSB) transformation have been proposed. One of the LSB-based image hiding schemes that employs diamond encoding was proposed in 2008. In this scheme, the binary secret data is converted into base n representation, and the converted secret data is concealed in the cover image. Here, we show that this scheme has two vulnerabilities: noticeable spots in the stego-image, i.e., a non-smooth embedding result, and inefficiency caused by rough re-adjustment of falling-off-boundary value and impractical base translation. Moreover, we propose a new scheme that is efficient and produces a smooth and high quality embedding result by restricting n to power of 2 and using a sophisticated re-adjustment procedure. Our experimental results show that our scheme yields high quality stego-images and is secure against RS detection attack.

To investigate the equalizer performance in underwater acoustic communication m the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) due to multipath, computer simulations are carried out in discrete multipath shallow water channels for three different horizontal ranges. For the purpose of computation simplicity, least mean square (LMS) algorithm is adopted both in linear equalizer and nonlinear equalizer, decision feedback equalizer (DFE) to cancel out ISI effects. Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals have been transmitted with high data rate of 2000bps through the use of equalization technique. The results demonstrate that equalization is an efficient way to achieve high transmission data rate in the shallow water channel.
