In this paper, we present a new blocking artifact reduction algorithm using interpolation and signal adaptive filter (SAF) based on the edge map. Generally, block-based coding, such as JPEG and MPEG, is the most popular image compression method. However, for high compression it produces noticeable blocking and ringing artifacts in the decoded image. In proposed method, all the block is classified into low and high frequency blocks in block classification procedure. And edge map is obtained by using Sobel operator on decoded image. And according to the block property we applied blocking artifacts reduction algorithm. Namely, four neighbor low frequency block is participated in interpolation based on edge map. And ringing artifacts is removed by applying a signal adaptive filter around the edge using edge map in high frequency block. The computer simulation results confirmed a better performance by the proposed method in both the subjective and objective image qualities.

In this paper an effective block matching algorithm is proposed to find the motion vector. There are two approaches to the estimation of the motion vector in MCC (motion compensated coding), i.e., pel(pixel element) recursive algorithm and block matching algorithm. The search algorithm in this paper is based on the block matching method. The advantage of a proposed algorithm using integral projections is the reduction of the computation time. While the conventional block matching methods have to be computed in 2-dimensional arrays, the proposed algorithm using integral projections can be computed in 1-dimensional arrays. In comparison with conventional block matching methods, a computer simulation shows that though the prediction error increases 0.23 db, it is not detectable for human eyes and the average reduction ratio of computation time obtained from the proposed algorithm is about 3-4.

비점오염은 수계에 악영향을 끼치며 그 영향은 점차 커지고 있다. 이러한 비점오염을 관리하기 위해 정부에서는 LID(Low Impact Development) 시설의 연구와 다양한 효율평가를 시행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 LID 시설 중 실제 설치된 투수 블록 시설의 강우 유출 억제를 위한 유출 저감율, 저류 강우량 분석 및 유출 지연시간 그리고 최대 유입 및 유출의 저감율을 분석했으며, 그 결과를 각 시설 간 비교했다. 불투수블록, 필터형 투수블록, 틈새형 투수블록 순서대로 분석 결과 저감 효율이 높게 나타났으며, 이를 통해 강우강도-유출지연시간간의 관계를 나타낸 그래프를 제시하였다. 이 그래프를 통해 앞으로 설계 시, 본 시설과 유사한 투수블록 시설의 재현 기간에 따른 시설 용량 선정 등의 설계에 도움을 줄 수 있으리라 생각한다.

본 연구는 볼트개수 3개 또는 4개로 접합된 인장력을 받는 ㄱ형강의 블록전단 파단시, 전단지체 효과를 분석하여 AISC의 블록전단식과 순단면파단식을 비교 검토하였다. 볼트 3개 또는 4개로 접합된 실험체의 경우 순단면 파단과 같은 블록전단, 순단면 형태의 파단으로 파단되었다. 실험결과는 블록전단에 영향을 미치는 접합길이, 실험체의 두께, 감소계수 등을 변수로 분석하였다. 실험결과에 따라, 블록전단내력 산정시 Kulak의 제안한 감소계수 U를 계산해서 적용하는 것이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we propose a Peak to Average power Ratio(PAR) reduction algorithm by using the Adaptive Block Coding(ABC). The problem of a PAR due to each sub-carrier overlap phenomenon in the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system causes the an increasing in the complexity of the A/D converter in the transmitter and a reduction in the efficiency of the amplifier. The proposed ABC algorithm selects the block coding which provides the lowest PAR value based on the various check bit position. It is shown that a PAR of the ABC algorithm can be reduced from 8.35dB to 6.02dB in 16 sub-carriers compared to theconventional block coding scheme. We also extended the ABC algorithm to a larger number of sub-carriers and estimated their PAR values.

본 논문에서는 블록 분류와 적응적 필터링을 이용하여 블록 기반 부호화에서의 블록화 현상을 제거하는 후처리 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 블록 분류, 적응적인 블록 간 필터링, 및 블록 내 필터링의 단계로 이루어진다. 먼저, 각 블록을 8$\times$8 DCT 계수 분포에 따라 7개의 클래스로 분류하고, 인접한 두 블록의 클래스 걸보에 따라 적응적인 블록 간 필터링을 수행한다. 그리고 복잡한 클래스로 분류된 블록에 대하여 에지맵을 이용한 블록 내 필터링을 수행한다. 실험결과로부터 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법에 비하여 객관적 화질 및 주관적 화질 측면에서 보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for comparison of the effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block with that of other analgesic techniques for reduction of postoperative pain and consumption of opioids after total hip arthroplasty (THA). A search of records in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases was conducted in order to identify studies comparing the effect of the PENG block with that of other analgesics on reduction of postoperative pain and consumption of opioids after THA. Determination of eligibility was based on the PICOS (participants, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and study design) criteria as follows: (1) Participants: patients who underwent THA. (2) Intervention: patients who received a PENG block for management of postoperative pain. (3) Comparator: patients who received other analgesics. (4) Outcomes: numerical rating scale (NRS) score and opioid consumption during different periods. (5) Study design: clinical RCTs. Five RCTs were finally included in the current meta-analysis. Significantly lower postoperative opioid consumption at 24 hours after THA was observed in the group of patients who received the PENG block compared with the control group (standard mean difference=-0.36, 95% confidence interval -0.64 to -0.08). However, no significant reduction in NRS score at 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery and opioid consumption at 48 hours after THA was observed. The PENG block showed better results for opioid consumption at 24 hours after THA compared with other analgesics.

In this paper, we propose an effective memory reduction algorithm to reduce the amount of reference frame buffer and memory bandwidth in video encoder and decoder. In general video codecs, decoded previous frames should be stored and referred to reduce temporal redundancy. Recently, reference frames are recompressed for memory efficiency and bandwidth reduction between a main processor and external memory. However, these algorithms could hurt coding efficiency. Several algorithms have been proposed to reduce the amount of reference memory with minimum quality degradation. They still suffer from quality degradation with fixed-bit allocation. In this paper, we propose an adaptive block-based min-max quantization that considers local characteristics of image. In the proposed algorithm, basic process unit is $8{\times}8$ for memory alignment and apply an adaptive quantization to each $4{\times}4$ block for minimizing quality degradation. We found that the proposed algorithm could improve approximately 37.5% in coding efficiency, compared with an existing memory reduction algorithm, at the same memory reduction rate.

Blocking artefact noise is necessarily happened in compressed images using block-coded algorithms such as JPEC compressing algorithm. This noise is more recognizable especially in highly compressed images. In this paper, an algorithm is presented for reduction of blocking artefact noise using block division. Furthermore, we also mention about the median filter which is often used in image processing.

Leakage in water supply system can cause water resources loss in addition to the water quality degradation. In this research, leakage reduction after establishment of a block system in the area with leakage rate of 69.0 % was investigated using EPANET simulation. The average water pressure for the research area was $5.17kgf/cm^2$ which was relatively high, and several sites were deviated from recommended water pressure ranges(i.e., 1.5 ~ $7.1kgf/cm^2$). However, the average water pressure in the area was reduced to 3.81 and $3.49kgf/cm^2$ after the introduction of block system with a water pressure relief valve(PRV) setting of 3.0 and $2.5kgf/cm^2$, respectively. Under the installation of a PRV with regulating pressure of $2.5kgf/cm^2$, the predicted leakage was reduced from $4,420.3m^3/d$ to $3,028.1m^3/d$, which was equivalent to the leakage reduction from 31.0 % to 23.5 %.
