주파수 선택적 페이딩 채널을 위한 선형 채널 추정 방식의 성능은 파일럿의 개수에 비례하므로 채널 추정의 정확도를 높이기 위해서 많은 파일럿을 쓰지 않을 수 없으며 필연적으로 전송 효율성이 낮아지는 단점이 있다. 또한 다중경로 채널의 희소(sparse)한 특성을 활용하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 압축센싱 기법을 이용하여 아주 적은 수의 파일럿으로 희소한 채널을 추정하는 정합추구 기반 알고리듬과 간섭도(coherence)를 최소화하기 위한 파일럿 배치 방법을 제안한다. 또한 모의 실험을 통해 LS (least square) 채널 추정 방식보다 적은 수의 파일럿으로 우수한 채널 추정 성능을 보임을 확인한다.

We apply the Bayesian matching pursuit (BMP) algorithm to the estimation of time-frequency selective channels in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. By exploiting prior statistics and sparse characteristics of propagation channels, the Bayesian method provides a more accurate and efficient detection of the channel status information (CSI) than do conventional sparse channel estimation methods that are based on compressive sensing (CS) technologies. Using a reasonable approximation of the system model and a skillfully designed pilot arrangement, the proposed estimation scheme is able to address the Doppler-induced inter-carrier interference (ICI) with a relatively low complexity. Moreover, to further reduce the computational cost of the channel estimation, we make some modifications to the BMP algorithm. The modified algorithm can make good use of the group-sparse structure of doubly selective channels and thus reconstruct the CSI more efficiently than does the original BMP algorithm, which treats the sparse signals in the conventional manner and ignores the specific structure of their sparsity patterns. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed Bayesian estimation has a good performance over rapidly time-varying channels.

In Wyner-Ziv coding, video signals are reconstructed by correcting side information generated by block-based motion estimation/compensation at the decoder. The correction is not always accurate due to the limited number of parity bits and early stopping of low-density parity check accumulate (LDPCA) decoding in distributed video coding, or due to the limited number of measurements in distributed compressive video sensing. The blocking artifacts caused by block-based processing are usually conspicuous in smooth areas and degrade the perceptual quality of the reconstructed video. Conventional deblocking filters try to remove the artifacts by treating both sides of the block boundary equally; however, coding errors generated by block-based processing are not necessarily the same on both sides of the block boundaries. Such a block-wise difference is exploited in this paper to improve deblocking for Wyner-Ziv frameworks by designing a filter where the deblocking strength at each block can be non-identical, depending on the reliability of the reconstructed pixels. Test results show that the proposed filter not only improves subjective quality by reducing the coding artifacts considerably, but also gains rate distortion performance.

Recent experimental observations support the hypothesis that mechanical stimuli play a role in regulating the specialized molecular expression of articular cartilage in vitro and in vivo. Other studies have demonstrated that the continuous passive motion(CPM)bioreactor for whole joints can provide a platform for possible future in vitro studies and applications, including possible interactions of bio-mechanical and biochemical signals. In this study, we have developed acustom-made bioreactor capable of bending and stretching with circular type motion, and a biomimetic knee joint model, using a 3D printer. This system could be used to investigate the effects of rehabilitative joint motion of dynamic culture.

본 논문에서는 희소한 신호의 압축센싱를 위해 확률적 배제에 기반한 직교정합추구 (PEOMP) 신호 복원 알고리듬을 제안하였다. CoSaMP, gOMP, BAOMP 등의 알고리듬들은 매 반복 단계에서 새로운 atom들을 support set에 추가할 뿐만 아니라 부적절하다고 판단되어지는 atom들은 삭제하기 때문에 우수한 신호 복원 성능을 보인다. 그러나 반복 과정 중에 support set의 구성이 국소 최저점에서 벗어나지 못하여 신호 복원에 실패하는 경우가 발생하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 제안된 알고리듬은 매 반복 단계에서 확률적으로 임의의 atom을 배제하여 support set이 국소 최저점에 빠져 있는 경우 그곳에서 탈출하는데 도움을 준다. 모의실험을 통해 PEOMP가 기존의 OMP 기반의 알고리듬들과 $l_1$ 최적화 방법보다 신호 복원 능력 관점에서 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

In laser pointer interaction systems, laser spot detection is one of the most important technologies, and most of the challenges in this area are related to the varying backgrounds, and the real-time performance of the interaction system. In this paper, we present a robust dictionary construction and update algorithm based on a sparse model of background subtraction. In order to control dynamic backgrounds, first, we determine whether there is a change in the backgrounds; if this is true, the new background can be directly added to the dictionary configurations; otherwise, we run an online cumulative average on the backgrounds to update the dictionary. The proposed dictionary construction and update algorithm for laser spot detection, is robust to the varying backgrounds and noises, and can be implemented in real time. A large number of experimental results have confirmed the superior performance of the proposed method in terms of the detection error and real-time implementation.

We propose a face recognition and notification system that can transform visual face information into tactile signals in order to help visually impaired people. The proposed system consists of a glasses type camera, a mobile computer and an electronic cane. The glasses type camera captures the frontal view of the user, and sends this image to mobile computer. The mobile computer starts to search for human's face in the image when obstacles are detected by ultrasonic sensors. In a case that human's face is detected, the mobile computer identifies detected face. At this time, Adaboost and compressive sensing are used as a detector and a classifier, respectively. After the identification procedures of the detected face, the identified face information is sent to controller attached to a cane using a Bluetooth communication. The controller generates motor control signals using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) according to the recognized face labels. The vibration motor generates vibration patterns to inform the visually impaired person of the face recognition result. The experimental results of face recognition and notification system show that proposed system is helpful for visually impaired people by providing person identification results in front of him/her.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a promising approach for cellular communication due to its energy efficiency and high achievable data rate. These advantages, however, can be realized only when channel state information (CSI) is available at the transmitter. Since there are many antennas, CSI is too large to feed back without compression. To compress CSI, prior work has applied compressive sensing (CS) techniques and the fact that CSI can be sparsified. The adopted sparsifying bases fail, however, to reflect the spatial correlation and channel conditions or to be feasible in practice. In this paper, we propose a new sparsifying basis that reflects the long-term characteristics of the channel, and needs no change as long as the spatial correlation model does not change. We propose a new reconstruction algorithm for CS, and also suggest dimensionality reduction as a compression method. To feed back compressed CSI in practice, we propose a new codebook for the compressed channel quantization assuming no other-cell interference. Numerical results confirm that the proposed channel feedback mechanisms show better performance in point-to-point (single-user) and point-to-multi-point (multi-user) scenarios.

Mining activities focus on the production of mineral resources for energy generation and raw material requirements worldwide and it is a known fact that shallow reserves become scarce. For this reason, exploration of new resources proceeds consistently to meet the increasing energy and raw material demand of industrial activities. Rock mechanics has a vital role in underground mining and surface mining. Devices and instruments used in laboratory testing to determine rock mechanics related parameters might have limited sensing capability of the failure behavior. However, methodologies such as, thermal cameras, digital speckle correlation method and acoustic emission might enable to investigate the initial crack formation in detail. Regarding this, in this study, thermographic analysis was performed to analyze the failure behaviors of different types of rock specimens during uniaxial compressive strength experiments. The energy dissipation profiles of different types of rocks were characterized by the temperature difference recorded with an infrared thermal camera during experiments. The temperature increase at the failure moment was detected as 4.45℃ and 9.58℃ for andesite and gneiss-schist specimens, respectively. Higher temperature increase was observed with respect to higher UCS value. Besides, a temperature decreases of about 0.5-0.6℃ was recorded during the experiments of the marble specimens. The temperature change on the specimen is related to release of radiation energy. As a result of the porosity tests, it was observed that increase in the porosity rate from 5.65% to 20.97% can be associated to higher radiation energy released, from 12.68 kJ to 297.18 kJ.

압축센싱 기술인 CAFB는 대상 구조물의 원시신호를 목적된 주파수 범위의 신호로 압축하여 획득하도록 개발되었다[27]. 이때 압축센싱을 위해 CAFB는 대상 구조물의 목적된 주파수 범위에 따라 다양한 기준신호로 최적화 될 수 있다. 또한, 최적화된 CAFB는 지진과 같은 돌발/위험상황에서도 대상 구조물의 유효한 구조응답을 효율적으로 압축할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 상대적으로 유연한 구조물의 효율적인 구조 건전도 모니터링을 위하여 목적된 주파수 범위를 10Hz 미만으로 설정하고, 이를 위한 CAFB의 최적화 방법과 지진상황에서 CAFB의 지진응답성능을실험적으로 평가하였다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는, 먼저 Kobe 지진파형을 이용하여 CAFB를 최적화하였고, 이를 자체 개발한 무선 IDAQ 시스템에 임베디드 하였다. 그리고, Kobe 지진파형을 이용하여 2경간 교량에 대한 지진응답실험을 수행하였다. 마지막으로 CAFB가 내장된 IDAQ 시스템을 이용하여 실시간으로 2경간 교량의 지진응답을 무선으로 획득하고, 획득된 압축신호는 원시신호와 상호 비교하였다. 실험의 결과로부터 압축신호는 원시신호와 대비하여 우수한 응답성능과 데이터 압축효과를 보였고, 또한 CAFB는 지진상황에서도 구조물의 유효한 구조응답을 효과적으로 압축센싱할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 본 논문에서는 목적된 주파수 범위(10Hz 미만)에 적합하도록 CAFB의 최적화 방법을 제시하였고, CAFB는 지진상황의 계측-모니터링을 위해 경제적이고 효율적인 데이터 압축센싱 기술임을 증명하였다.
