Water leak is one of topics with great concern in Korea and many other countries, because of decreasing water supplies and the deterioration of old pipeworks. Correlation techniques have been widely used in leak detection of water pipes, which allow to locate a leak point based on the correlation of leak noise at two sites along water pipes. In this study, both the cross-correlation method and the conventional arrival time difference method are applied in order to analyze and to locate a leak point of a water pipe. In experiment, a 150 m of whole length waterwork pipeline system was constructed in a ground, and several types of leak noise were installed on the pipeline in order to control leak condition. Both the cross-correlation technique and the arrival time difference method showed favorable results at leak detection with the experimental pipeline system.

Cross correlation method was newly applied for the calculation of latency of evoked otoacoustic emission. The latency was calculated froth the main peak of cross correlation function, which is one of Possible definition of latency. The output was also compared with those of conventional autocorrelation method. The results show that cross correlation method has better Performance than that of conventional method.

In this paper a direction finding method which can which can estimate the direction angles of source signals impinging on the sensor array in which sensor noises are correlated is studied. This method performs the estimation of source direction angles form sensors, regardless of sensor noise correlation, by eliminating the sensor noise correlation coefficient which can be accurately estimated. Finally, this paper shows, through the computer simulation, that the proposed, method is extremely useful and superior when there exists the noise correlation between sensors, .

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is an effective method to achieve low power design. In our work, we present an analytical DVFS method which judiciously exploits correlation information in runtime distribution while satisfying deadline constraints. The proposed method overcomes the previous distribution-aware DVFS method [2] which has pessimistic assumption on which runtime distributions are independent. Experimental results show the correlation-aware DVFS offers 13.3% energy reduction compared to existing distribution-aware DVFS [2].

The present paper proposes a method that can estimate a roll rate of spinning vehicles utilizing GPS receivers. The proposed method analyzes a relation between received signal and correlation value and utilizes a phenomenon that received signal power that changes according to a signal incident direction affects a correlation value. That is, a roll-rate estimation method using zero crossing detection method for correlation value, which has sinusoidal periodicity according to rotations of vehicles, is proposed. A correlation value in real environments experiences a jitter so that the proposed method includes a pre-processing filter and detection threshold setting way is also considered to reduce the effect of received signal power. In order to verify the operation of the proposed method and analyze the performance, a signal generator and software-defined receiver (SDR) are designed. The signal generator generates intermediate frequency (IF) signal by taking the rotation of vehicles, antenna gain, and signal power into consideration, and a correlation value is acquired by taking the generated IF signals into consideration. Using the generated correlation value, the operation of the proposed roll rate estimation method is verified and the performance is analyzed.

본 논문에서는 SLM, PTS 그리고 DSI와 같은 OFDM 시스템에서 발생하는 높은 PAPR 문제를 해결하기 위한 기존의 PAPR 저감 기법들에서 나타나는 부가정보 전송의 필수성, 시스템 복잡도 및 계산량 증가와 같은 단점들을 해결하기 위해 입력되는 정보의 상관도를 이용하는 새로운 PAPR 저감 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 새로운 PAPR 저감 기법의 예로 Method 1과 Method 2를 제시한다. Method 1은 IFFT에 입력되는 병렬 데이터 시퀀스내의 최소 부분 시퀀스들 간의 상관도를 낮추어 주는 방식이며, 보다 많은 자체 상관도를 저감하기 위해, Method2는 최소 부분 시퀀스들 간의 상관도 뿐만 아니라 최대 부분 시퀀스들 간의 상관도 또한 낮추어준다. 성능 분석 결과에서, Method 1과 Method 2는 각각 0.5 $\~$ O.8 dB와 1 $\~$ 1.2 dB의 PAPR 저감 효과를 보였다. 이는 기존의 기법들보다 PAPR저감 효과는 작게 나타나지만 기존의 기법들이 갖는 여러 단점들을 해결할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 또한 보다 자세한 자체 상관도 저감을 통해 보다 큰 PAPR저감 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

A detailed and thorough parametric study of digital image correlation method is presented. A theoretical background and development of the method were introduced and the effects of various parameters on the determination of displacement outputs from the raw original and deformed image information were examined. Use of the normalized correlation coefficient, the use of 20 to 40 pixels for a searching window side, 6 variables searching, bi-cubic spline sub pixel interpolations and the use of coarse-fine search are some of the key choices among the results of parametric studies. The displacement outputs can be further processed with two dimensional curve fitting for the data noise reduction as well as displacement gradient calculation.

Since the muiltipath signal arrives at the GPS receiver later than the line-of-sight signal, the multipath signal makes the shape of the correlation function asymmetric. This paper proposes a multipath mitigation method through asymmetry estimation of the correlation function, in which multiple correlators are utilized. The asymmetry is estimated from correlation values of correlators which have different chip spacings. Based on the estimated asymmetry, the correlation function is modified in order to get a better code tracking performance. Even through the proposed method uses multiple correlators including the narrow correlator, the acquisition performance is not degraded since the number of search cell of the narrow correlator part can be reduced in the algorithm of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method gives better performance than the generic correlator in multipath environment.

The hierarchical recursive local-correlation PIV algorithm with CBC (correlation based correction) method was employed to increase the spatial resolution of PIV results and to reduce error vectors. The performance of this new PIV algorithm was tested using synthetic images, PIV standard images of Visualization Society of Japan, real flows including ventilation flow inside a vehicle passenger compartment and wake behind a circular cylinder with riblet surface. As a result, most spurious vectors were suppressed by employing the CBC method, the hierarchical recursive correlation algorithm improved the sub-pixel accuracy of PIV results by decreasing the interrogation window size and Increased spatial resolution significantly. However, with recursively decreasing of interrogation window size, the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) in the correlation plane was decreased and number of spurious vectors was increased. Therefore, compromised determination of optimal interrogation window size is required for given flow images, the performance of recursive algorithm is also discussed from a viewpoint of recovery ratio and error ratio in the paper.
