This paper proposes a computer-aided diagnostic algorithm in a non-invasive way. Currently, clinical diagnosis of jaundice is performed through blood sampling. Unlike the old methods, the non-invasive method will enable parents to measure newborns' jaundice by only using their mobile phones. The proposed algorithm enables high accuracy and quick diagnosis through machine learning. In here, we used the SVM model of machine learning that learned the feature extracted through image preprocessing and we used the international jaundice research data as the test data set. As a result of applying our developed algorithm, it took about 5 seconds to diagnose jaundice and it showed a 93.4% prediction accuracy. The software is real-time diagnosed and it minimizes the infant's pain by non-invasive method and parents can easily and temporarily diagnose newborns' jaundice. In the future, we aim to use the jaundice photograph of the newborn babies' data as our test data set for more accurate results.

Transmitted data may be compensated by using estimated channel values that are obtained with pilot symbols in OFDM-CDMA systems. Generally, a USE (Minimum Mean-Squared Error) estimator using correlations between pilot symbols gives good results, but its structure is so complicated. Starting with a modification of PA (Pilot-Aided) algorithm using pilot symbols and PADD (Pilot-Aided Decision-Directed) algorithm using both pilot and data symbols, a new channel estimation algorithm with more simpler structure is proposed. The performance of this algorithm is evaluated with varying mobile speed in a Ralyleigh multipath fading environment through computer simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation algorithm outperforms a conventional PA algorithm.

The development of the algorithm and the computer aided marking data generation system based on it should precede the automation system for plate forming by line heating method. This paper places emphasis on the yard simulation for a real surface model to justify the algorithm and the computer aided marking data generation system which have been already developed. The yard simulation has been carried out according to the generated marking data and the heating condition produced by the developed computer aided system. The practical applicability of the developed computer aided system has been conformed by comparing the results of the computer simulation to the results of the yard simulation. This paper ends with the extension of the developed marking data generation system.

We study on a terrain contour matching algorithm using Radial Basis Functions(RBFs) for aided inertial navigation system for position fixing aircraft, cruise missiles or re-entry vehicles. The parameter optimization technique is used for updating the parameters describing the characteristics of an area with modified Gaussian least square differential correction algorithm and the step size limitation filter according to the amount of updates. We have applied the algorithm for matching a sampled area with a target area supposed that the area data are available from Radar Terrain Sensor(RTS) and Reference Altitude Sensor(RAS)

This paper presents a data-mining aided heuristic algorithm development. The developed algorithm includes three steps. The steps are a uniform selection, development of feature functions and clustering, and a decision tree making. The developed algorithm is employed in designing an optimal multi-station fixture layout. The objective is to minimize the sensitivity function subject to geometric constraints. Its benefit is presented by a comparison with currently available optimization methods.

The Loran-C, a radio navigation system based on TDOA measurements is enhanced to eLoran using TOA measurements instead of TDOA measurements. Many error factors such as PF, SF, ASF, clock errors and unknown biases are included in eLoran TOA measurements. Because these error factors can cause failure in eLoran navigation algorithm, these errors must be compensated for high accuracy eLoran navigation results. Compensation of ASF and unknown biases are difficult to calculate, while the others such as PF and SF are relatively easy to eliminate. In order to compensate all errors in eLoran TOA measurements, a simple GPS aided bias compensation method is suggested in this paper. This method calculates the bias as the difference of TOA measurement and the range between eLoran transmitters and the receiver whose position is determined using GPS. The real data measured in Europe are used for verification of suggested method and navigation algorithm.

This paper proposes an efficient initial frequency estimator for Digital Video Broadcasting-Second Generation (DVB-S2). The initial frequency offset of the DVB-S2 is around ${\pm}5MHz$, which corresponds to 20% of the symbol rate at 25Msps. To estimate a large initial frequency offset, the algorithm which call provide a large estimation range is required. Through the analysis of the data-aided (DA) algorithms, we find that the Mengali and Moreli (M&M) algorithm can estimate a large initial frequency offset at low SNR. Since the existing frequency estimator based on M&M algorithm has a high hardware complexity, we propose the methods to reduce the hardware complexity of the initial frequency estimator. This can be achieved by reducing the number of autocorrelators and arctangents. The proposed architecture can reduce the hardware complexity about 64.5% compared to the existing frequency estimator and has been thoroughly verified on the Xilinx Virtex II FPGA board.

A nonlinear spectral-line method utilizing the fourth absolute moment of the receiver discrete Fourier transform output is proposed as a non-data-aided fine carrier frequency synchronization algorithm for OFDM receivers. A simple modification of the algorithm resulting in low implementation complexity is also developed. Analytic expressions are derived for the steady-state frequency error variances of the algorithms and verified to be very accurate via computer simulations over AWGN and frequency selective multipath channels. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms provide reliable and excellent steady-state performance, especially with PSK modulation. Also, the proposed algorithms are insensitive to symbol timing offsets, only requiring a coarse symbol timing recovery.

We present a system for the real-time visual relative navigation of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle in a GPS-denied environment. An extended Kalman filter is used to construct a vision-aided navigation system by fusing the image processing results with barometer and inertial sensor measurements. Using a mean-shift object tracking algorithm, an onboard vision system provides pixel measurements to the navigation filter. The filter is slightly modified to deal with delayed measurements from the vision system. The image processing algorithm and the navigation filter are verified by flight tests. The results show that the proposed aerial system is able to maintain circling around a target without using GPS data.

This letter addresses the superimposed pilot aided multiuser channel estimation for the uplinks of multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. To mitigate the embedded-data effects on the performance of channel estimation, a novel combining algorithm is proposed. Optimal pilot symbols are developed with respect to the least square channel estimate's mean square error. The averaged sum-capacity lower bound is derived and simulated. Simulation results show that on a low signal-to-noise ratio regime, our proposed scheme achieves better performance and higher capacity than the conventional pilot aided approach.
