This paper deals with face detection and recognition using ellipsodal information and wavelet packet analysis. We proposed two methods. First, Face detection method uses general ellipsodal information of human face contour and we find eye position on wavelet transformed face images A novel method for recognition of views of human faces under roughly constant illumination is presented. Second, The proposed Face recognition scheme is based on the analysis of a wavelet packet decomposition of the face images. Each face image is first located and then, described by a subset of band filtered images containing wavelet coefficients. From these wavelet coefficients, which characterize the face texture, the Euclidian distance can be used in order to classify the face feature vectors into person classes. Experimental results are presented using images from the FERET and the MIT FACES databases. The efficiency of the proposed approach is analyzed according to the FERET evaluation procedure and by comparing our results with those obtained using the well-known Eigenfaces method. The proposed system achieved an rate of 97％(MIT data), 95.8％(FERET databace)

The discrete wavelet transform is utilized as preprocessing of Neural Network(NN) to identify aging state of internal partial discharge in transformer. The discrete traveler transform is used to produce wavelet coefficients which are used for Classification. The statistical parameters (maximum of wavelet coefficients, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis) using the wavelet coefficients are input into an back-propagation neural network. The neurons whose weights have obtained through Result of Cross-Validation. The Neural Network learning stops either when the error rate achieves an appropriate minimum or when the learning time overcomes a constant value. The networks, after training, can decide if the test signal is Early Aging State or Last Aging State or normal state.

Precoder has been shown to be able to provide source diversity and design flexibility. In this paper we employ precoding techniques for block transmission based on a multirate filterbank structure. To accommodate multiuser communication with variable data rates, different precoders with corresponding coefficients and up/down sampling rates are used. However, due to unknown multipath distortion, different interferences may exist in the received data, such as multiuser interference, intersymbol interference and interblock interference. To estimate channel parameters for a desired user, we employ all structured signature waveforms associated with different symbols of that user and apply subspace techniques. Therefore better performance of channel estimator can be achieved than the conventional subspace method based only on the signature of the current symbol. The delay for that user can also be jointly estimated. Channel identifiability conditions and asymptotic channel estimation error are investigated in detail. Numerical examples are provided to justify the proposed method. gest either multicode (MC) or multiple processing gain (MPG) mechanism [2], while requiring data rates to be integral multiples of some basic low-rate. In order to support variable rate transmission however, a comprehensive scheme needs to be investigated.

Most of countries are trying to increase the supply of renewable energy as the substitute of the fossil energy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, renewable energy sources account for only about 3.86% of the total Korea primary energy supply. To increase the rate of renewable energy in Korea's energy consumption, various policies for expanding the use of renewable energy should be applied. Also these policies should be consider renewable energy resources distribution and regional inequality. In this study, the potentials of photovoltaic, wind power and bioenergy from rice straw, livestock waste and food waste are calculated and the distribution characteristic and regional inequalities are analyzed using Gini's coefficient and Gini decomposition method. As the results, technical potentials of photovoltaic and wind power of city region(Gu) has more potential rate than theoretical potentials. Livestock waste has the most unequal distribution (Gini's coefficient: 0.617) among renewable resources.

Electromagnetic forming is a type of high-speed forming process to deform a workpiece through a Lorentz force. As the high strain rate in an electromagnetic-forming simulation causes infeasibility in determining constitutive parameters, we employed inverse parameter estimation in the previous study. However, the inverse parameter estimation process required us to spend considerable time, which leads to an increase in computational cost. To overcome the computational obstacle, in this research, we applied two types of surrogate modeling methods and compared them to each other to evaluate which model is best for the electromagnetic-forming simulation. We exploited an artificial neural network and we reduced-order modeling methods. During the construction of a reduced-order model, we extracted orthogonal bases with proper orthogonal decomposition and predicted basis coefficients by utilizing an artificial neural network. After the construction of the surrogate models, we verified the artificial neural network and reduced-order models through training and testing samples. As a result, we determined the artificial neural network model is slightly more accurate than the reduced-order model. However, the construction of the artificial neural network model requires a considerably larger amount of time than that of the reduced-order model. Thus, a reduced order modeling method is more efficient than an artificial neural network for estimating the electromagnetic forming and for the rapid approximation of structural simulations which needs repetitive runs.

The video coding for very low bit-rate has recently received considerable attention, but the conventional coding schemes with block based transform suffer from the blocky effect for the constraints of limited bit-rate. In this paper, we present a video coding system based on wavelet transform and multiresolution motion estimation/compensation for very low bit-rate video. The proposed scheme uses the wavelet transform which is flexible to represent non-stationary image signals and adaptable to the human visual characteristics. The wavelet transformed coefficients are coded by various coding modes in accordance with the sum of absolute error after motion estimation/compensation in wavelet decomposed domain. And simple buffer control technique is applied to handle constant image quality. It is shown that the presented scheme has more acceptable image quality without blocky effects than conventional block based transform video coding.

Calcination, which represents thermal decomposition of $CaCO_3$, is the key reaction in a cement process. Some reactions including heating-up also take place simultaneously in the calcination reactors. Basic thermal performance and dimensions of the reactors in two cases, which are a rotary kiln wih a four-stage cyclone pre-heater and a simple single rotary kiln, were compared. To employ the heat transfer, mass transfer and reaction rate as well as calcination, one-dimensional modeling was conducted in each case. Some simplification about the reactors was described, however, the reliable Nusselt number and heat transfer coefficients on the reactors were used to make results reliable.

In many image compression applications, the discrete cosine transform (DCY) is well known for is highly efficient coding performance. However, it produces undesirable block artifacts in low-bit rate coding. In addition, in many practical applications, faster computation and easier VLST implementation of DCT coefficients are also important issues. The removal of the block artifacts and faster DCT computation are therefor of practical interest. In this paper, a modified DCTcomputation scheme was investigated, which provides a simple efficient solution to the reduction of the block artifacts while achieving faster computation. We have applied the new ap-proach to the low-bit rate coding and decoding of images. Simulation results on real images have verified the improved performance of the proposed method over the standar d method.

We propose an optimal variable step size adjustment method for the simplified subband affine projection algorithm (Simplified SAP; SSAP) in a subband structure based on a polyphase decomposition technique. The proposed method provides an optimal step size derived to minimize the mean square deviation(MSD) at the time of updating the coefficients of the subband adaptive filter. Application of the proposed optimal step size in the SSAP algorithm using colored input signals ensures fast convergence speed and small steady-state error. The results of computer simulations performed using AR(2) signals and real voices as input signals prove the validity of the proposed optimal step size for the SSAP algorithm. Also, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a faster convergence rate and good steady-state error compared to the existing other adaptive algorithms.

Among the biodegradable liquid waste treatment and disposal methods, ocean dumping is a cost-effective and productive manner considering reuse point of view However, when biodegradable liquid waste is dumped in the ocean, oxygen consumption by the decomposition of organic matter must be considered. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum allowable concentration and dumping rate in the southern waters of the East Sea based on dissolved oxygen level. Streeter and Phelps' model has been used to determine the maximum allowable concentration. Factors in this model, deoxygenation constants and reaeration coefficients, have been determined by appling oxygen consumption method and closed system model. Deoxygenation constants and reaeration coefficients from surface to each standard depth are $0.24\~0.29/day\;and\;0.03\~0.39/day$ in summer, $0.17\~0.20/day\;and\;0.04\~0.56/day$ in winter, respectively. The allowable organic matter concentration($mgBOD/\iota$) to the dissolved oxy-gen sag value of $5mg/{\iota}$ is represented $17.23\times(H)^{-0.37}$ in summer, and $64.96\times(H)^{-0.52}$ in winter by mixing depth(H, m). Csanady's experiment has been applied to estimate the optimum dumping rate. The optimum dumping rate($R,\;m^3/sec$) can be written as a product of the beam(b, m) and the draft(h, m) of vessel, and biochemical oxygen demand of waste($L_n,\;mg/{\iota}$) $R=275{\times}bh^{0.63}L_n^{-1}$ in summer $=745{\times}bh^{0.48}L_n^{-1}$ in winter. The difference of dumping rate between in summer and winter is due to the oxygen distribution.
