A Bit-depth expansion is a method to increase the number of bit. It is getting important as the needs of HDR (High Dynamic Range) display or resolution of display have been increased because the level of luminance or expressiveness of color is proportional to the number of bit in the display. In this paper, we present effective bit-depth expansion algorithm for conventional standard 8 bit-depth content to display in high bit-depth device (10 bits). Proposed method shows better result comparing with recently developed methods in quantitative (PSNR) with low complexity. The proposed method shows 1db higher in PSNR measurement with 40 times faster in computational time.

This study proposes a new wavelet watermark technique based on the Linear Bit Expansion. To ensure the security of the watermark, enlarged watermark by applying linear bit expansion is inserted in a given intensity to a low frequency subband of the image which is wavelet transformed after the Arnold Transformation. When detecting the presence of watermart F norm function is applied unlike the existing methods. The experiment results verify that the proposed watermarking technique has outstanding quality in regards to fidelity and robustness.

Bit-depth expansion is a process of enhancing the image quality by increasing the number of intensity levels. To solve this problem, a hybrid method is proposed, where the pixels are categorized into smooth and complex regions, and are processed using different methods. The pixels in the smooth region are reconstructed with a smooth prior, and a Bayesian estimator is used for the pixels in the complex region. The proposed method effectively removes the false contour artifacts while requiring less computation than conventional methods. In addition, the method shows good quantitative performance, and the PSNR gains over the best existing method are 1.45 dB and 0.26 dB for 4 bits and 3 bits expansion cases, respectively.

This study proposes a new wavelet watermark technique based on the Linear Bit Expansion. To ensure the security of the watermark, it is Amold Transformed before embedding. Then the wavelet transformation of watermark and original images is processed. Since the size of the watermark image is a quarter of the original site, it uses linear bit-expansion to enlarge the watermark image. Lastly, watermark is inserted in a given intensity to the corresponding low frequency subbands of the wavelet-transformed images proposed in this paper. When detecting the presence of watermark, the similarity between extracted watermark and the original watermark is compared applying the F norm function.

In this paper, we present a half rate speech coder using trellis excitation. The coder combines code-excited linear prediction (CELP) system and trellis quantization method using the codebook expansion, and it produces higher speech quality than the typical CELP coder for the same transmission rate. A subjective comparison with 3~8 bit .$\mu$-law PCM indicates that the half rate coder provides speech quality between 5-bit and 6-bit $\mu$-law PCM .

본 논문에서는 비교기의 설계 및 확장에 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 2bit 인코딩방법을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 인코딩 방법을 이용하여 현재 비교기로 널리 사용하는 74LS85와 새로 설계한 5bit비교기에서의 직/병렬 N-bit로 확장했을 때의 응용방법을 비교한다. 또한 magnitude 비교기를 이용한 디코더 회로를 꾸며 음수 영역까지 확장할 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose the effective bit expansion of FFT module for improving the accuracy of correlation result of the Daejeon correlator. The Daejeon correlator based on FPGA was implemented in order to fast data processing with the fixed-point of FFT operation. In correlation result, however, the phenomenon of phase concentration to 0 degree was appeared in lower frequency area of bandwidth due to lack of operational bit. This phenomenon has an affect on the accuracy of correlation result by introducing the effect of data loss because of excluding phase concentration during analysis of observed radio source. In order to improving the accuracy of correlation result we carried out the simulation by expanding bit-number than 16-bit operation of previous FFT module within given resource limits of FPGA. Through the simulation results, the effective bit number for FFT module within used FPGA resource limits is able to expand, and we confirmed that the operational 20-bit of FFT module is effective for improving accuracy of correlation result by comparing with experimental result.

In this paper, we propose a lossless motion video coding method using motion compensation. For realtime coding and transmission, we developed a lossless video codec based on the proposed method. It was confirmed the codec functions normally in an experiment involving coding and transmitting through an actual ATM network. Furthermore, we proposed a lossless coding method with bit-plane expansion under a constant bitrate. Two approaches, a closed bit-plane approach and a merged bit-plane approach, are considered and characteristics of their compression efficiency are estimated. Simulation results show that the proposed method is suitable for lossless video coding with bitrate control.

Recently, a large fire has occurred through a dry bit, which is a flammable exterior material, in Daebong Green Apartment Fire in Uijeongbu in 2015 and Jecheon Sports Center Fire in 2017. In this study, KS F ISO 5660-1 Cone calorimeter experiment was used to examine the fire risk of dry bit. Also, the performance of the repair and reinforcement materials to prevent fire expansion was examined. As a result, the dry bit is likely to be ignited by internal and external flower gardens, and its combustion rate and calorific value are very high. In addition, the performance of heat resistance such as ALC panel and ceramic board as a repair and reinforcement material has been proved. However, the insulation is expected to require further consideration.

We propose hardware architecture of floating-point square root and inverse square root arithmetic units using lookup tables. They are used for lighting engines and shader processor for 3D graphic processing. The architecture is based on Taylor series expansion and consists of lookup tables and correction units so that the size of look-up tables are reduced. It can be applied to 32 bit floating point formats of IEEE-754 and reduced 24 bit floating point formats. The square root and inverse square root arithmetic units for 32 bit and 24 bit floating format number are designed as the proposed architecture. They can operation in a single cycle, and satisfy the precision of $10^{-5}$ required by OpenGL 1.x ES. They are designed using Verilog-HDL and the RTL codes are verified using an FPGA.
