This paper investigates the correlation of wind characteristics monitored on a cable-stayed bridge. Total five anemoscopes are implemented into the bridge. Two out of 5 anemoscopes in inflow and two out of 5 anemoscopes in wake-flow along the longitudinal direction of the bridge are installed. Four anemoscopes are respectively distributed at two cross-sections. Another anemoscope is installed at the top of the tower. The correlation of mean wind speed and direction, power spectral density, the turbulent intensity and integral length of wind in flow at two cross-sections are investigated. In addition, considering the non-stationary characteristics of wind, the spatial correlation in time-frequency is analyzed using wavelet transform and different phenomenon from those obtained through FFT is observed. The time-frequency analysis further indicates that intermittence, coherence structures and self-similar structures are distinctly observed from fluctuant wind. The flow characteristics around the bridge deck at two positions are also investigated using the field measurement. The results indicate that the mean wind speed decrease when the flow passing through the deck, but the turbulence intensity become much larger and the turbulence integral lengths become much smaller compared with those of inflow. The relationship of RMS (root mean square) of wake-flow and the mean wind speed of inflow is approximately linear. The special structures of wake-flow in time-frequency domain are also analyzed using wavelet transform, which aids to reveal the forming process of wake-flow.

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for arrhythmia classification, which is associated with the reduction of feature dimensions by linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and a support vector machine (SVM) based classifier. Seventeen original input features were extracted from preprocessed signals by wavelet transform, and attempts were then made to reduce these to 4 features, the linear combination of original features, by LDA. The performance of the SVM classifier with reduced features by LDA showed higher than with that by principal component analysis (PCA) and even with original features. For a cross-validation procedure, this SVM classifier was compared with Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) and Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) classifiers. When all classifiers used the same reduced features, the overall performance of the SVM classifier was comprehensively superior to all others. Especially, the accuracy of discrimination of normal sinus rhythm (NSR), arterial premature contraction (APC), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), premature ventricular contraction (PVC), ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) were $99.307\%,\;99.274\%,\;99.854\%,\;98.344\%,\;99.441\%\;and\;99.883\%$, respectively. And, even with smaller learning data, the SVM classifier offered better performance than the MLP classifier.

수동형(passive) 밀리미터파(millimeter wave) 영상은 의복 등에 은닉된 물체의 탐지가 가능하며 악천후의 상황에서도 감쇄도(attenuation)가 낮아 식별이 가능한 영상을 획득할 수 있다. 그러나 영상 시스템의 공간 해상도(spatial resolution)가 낮고 수신신호가 미약하여 잡음의 영향이 크고 시스템의 온도 분해능(temperature resolution)에 따라 영상의 질이 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 수동형 밀리미터파 영상과 일반 카메라부터 획득되는 영상의 정합(registration)과 은닉된 물체의 시각화를 위한 영상 융합(fusion)을 연구한다. 영상의 정합은 추출된 몸체 경계 간의 상호상관도를 최대로 하는 어파인 변환(affine transform)으로 수행되며 융합은 영상 분해를 위한 이산 웨이블릿 변환(discrete wavelet transform), 융합 법칙(fusion rule), 영상을 복원하기 위한 역 이산 웨이블릿 변환의 3단계로 구성된다. 실험에서는 수동형 밀리미터파 영상 시스템에 의해 칼, 도끼, 화장품, 그리고 휴대폰과 같은 또는 비금속의 다양한 물체가 탐지됨을 보인다. 또한 정합과 융합된 영상의 결과로부터 가시 영상으로부터 얻은 얼굴과 의복 등의 대상자의 신원정보와 밀리미터파 영상으로부터 획득한 은닉된 물체의 정보를 동시에 시각화할 수 있음을 보인다.

Conventional Fourier analysis can give only limited information about the dynamic characteristics of nonstationary signals. Instead, time-frequency analysis is widely used to investigate the nonstationary signal in detail. Several time-frequency analysis methods are compared for a typical acoustic emission burst generated during the impact between a ferrite ceramic and aluminum plate. This AE burst is inherently nonstationary and random containing many frequency contents, which leads to severe interference between cross terms in bilinear convolution type distributions. The smoothing and reassignment processes can improve the readability and resolution of the results. Spectrogram and scalogram of the AE burst are obtained and compared to get the characteristics information. Renyi entropies are computed for various bilinear time-frequency transforms to evaluate the randomness. These bilinear transforms are reassigned by using the improved algorithm in discrete computation.

In this paper, we address a new time delay estimation method using third-order statistics and subband adaptive filtering to improve the accuracy of target detection for acoustic backscattered signals in a noise interference environment. Each reference and primary signals are decorrelated using the multiresolution analysis framework through a M-band discrete wavelet transform(M-DWT). Then noise effect can be reduced. Here, time delays are estimated iteratively in each subband using two different adaptation mechanisms that minimize the mean squared error (MSE) between the references and primary signal. More specifically, third-order cumulants and projection cross-correlation(PCC) criterion are utilized to achieve an effective SNR improvement for the time delay estimation.

A new iris segmentation and recognition method is described. Combining a statistical classification and elastic boundary fitting, the iris is first segmented robustly and accurately. Once the iris is segmented, one-dimensional signals are computed in the iris and decomposed into multiple frequency bands. Each decomposed signal is approximated by a piecewise linear curve connecting a small set of node points. The node points represent features of each signal. The similarity measture between two iris images is the normalized cross-correlation coefficients between simplified signals.

The dispersive phase velocity of a wave propagating through a system is an important parameter and carries valuable information in non-destructive tests related to multilayered systems such as a soil site. The dispersive phase velocity of a wave can be determined using the phase spectrum, which is easily evaluated through the cross power spectrum. However, the phase spectrum as determined using the cross power spectrum is sensitive to background noise which always exists in the field. This causes difficulties in the determination of the dispersive phase velocities. In this paper, a new method to evaluate the phase spectrum using the harmonic wavelet transform is proposed. The proposed method can successfully remove background noise effects. To evaluate the validity of the proposed method, numerical simulations of multi-layered systems were performed. Phase spectrums by the proposed method were found to be in good agreement with the actual phase spectrums under conditions characterized by heavy background noise. This shows the potential of the proposed method.

본 논문은 바이스태틱 RCS와 모노스태틱 RCS를 이용하여 각각 표적 구분 실험을 수행하고 그 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 모노스태틱 및 바이스태틱 RCS로부터 특성을 추출하기 위하여 시간-주파수 영역 해석법인 STFT와 CWT를 이용하였으며, 다중 퍼셉트론 신경망을 구분기로 이용하였다. 실험 결과, 모노스태틱과 바이스태틱 RCS 모두 CWT가 STFT보다 더 나은 구분 성능을 보여주었다. 또한, STFT에서는 바이스태틱 RCS를 이용했을 때, CWT에서는 모노스태틱 RCS를 이용하였을 때 대체적으로 더 좋은 성능을 나타내었다. 결과적으로 본 논문을 통하여 바이스태틱 RCS도 모노스태틱 RCS처럼 표적 구분에 똑같이 적용할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
