A multirate state feedback control (MRSFC) method is proposed for systems sensitive to disturbance and noise based on the multirate estimator design using current estimator. MRSFC updates the controller output slower than the measurement sampling fiequency of system output by a lifting factor $R=T_c/T_s$ The closed-loop MRSFC system is less sensitive to disturbance and noise due to filtering effect than the conventional single-rate control system The multirate estimator gain can be obtained by solving a conventional pole placement problem such that MRSFC has the same spectrum of eigenvalues in the s-plane as the single-rate control. We applied the proposed multirate state feedback controller to a galvanometer servo system Simulation and experimental results show that settling and tracking performances are improved compared with a conventional single-rate pole placement control (PPC).

본 눈문에서는 뒤틀림, 응력, 압력[1], 토크, 가속도 등의 물리적인 동적 현상을 측정하여 수집된 데이터를 처리하기 위한 신호처리(Signal Processins) 기능이 결합되어 넓은 용도로 활용할 수 있는 센서 신호 수집 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 data acquisition board 의 하드웨어와 소프트웨어로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 하드웨어의 구성은 아날로그부, 디지털부, 그리고 시스템 인터페이스 처리부로 되어 있다. 아날로그부에서는 센서신호를 받아서, PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier)[2]와 Op-Amp를 사용하여 signal conditioning 처리하여 8차 Lowpass Filter 로 보낸다. Filtering 된 신호는 ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) 가 내장되어 있는 PIC(3) microcontroller로 보내져 AD변환과 디지털 신호 처리를 한다. 처리된 신호는 RS232 인터페이스를 통해 호스트 컴퓨터로 보내 사용자가 분석할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 LCD display 실시간으로 확인, 분석할 수 있으며 동시에analog output에서 센서신호의 특징을 분석 할 수 있도록 한다.

An algorithm for the reduction of blocking artifacts is pro-posed. Instead of filtering the pixels by a digital filter, the proposed algorithm considers the compressed image as continuous-time ,signal and replaces it by a pre-designed lowpass filter outputs. The algorithm shows better performance than the conventional methods in low activity region, and comparable or a little worse objective performance in high activity region. Hence, by applying the proposed algorithm to the low activity region and the conventional ones to the high activity region, the objective and subjective performances are improved in most cases.

This paper presents a new control scheme for a DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorer) system consisting of series voltage source PWM converters. To control the negative sequence components of the source, it is necessary to detect the negative sequence components. Generally, a filtering process is used which has some undesirable effects. This paper suggests a new method for separating positive and negative sequences components. This control system is designed using differential controllers and digital filters. The positive and negative sequences are extracted and controlled individually. The performance of the presented controller and scheme are confirmed through simulation and actual experiment with a 2.5kVA prototype DVR system.

In this study, wearable ECG measurement system was implemented for health monitoring during daily life. A wearable belt-type ECG electrode worn around the chest by measuring the real-time ECG is produced in order to minimize the inconvenience in wearing. The measured ECG signal is transmitted via an ultra low power consumption wireless data communications unit to personal computer using Zigbee-compatible wireless sensor node. The ECG monitoring program is developed at end user which is personal computer. The measured ECG contains many noises mainly due to motion artifacts. For ECG signal processing, adaptive filtering process is proposed which can reduce motion artifacts efficiently and accurately than digital filter. The experimental results show that a reliable performance with high quality ECG signal can be achieved using this wearable ECG monitoring system.

Determination of navigation variables (latitude, longitude, and altitude) near the earth's surface is termed 'Terrestrial Navigation'. The quantities that are measured inertially are the total acceleration (or the integral fo this acceleration over a fixed time interval) and the total angular rate (or the integral of this angular rate over the same time interval). These measurements when suitably compensated can be manipulated to yield the navigation variables. Hence, it is essential that the initial values of position, orientation and velocity are accurately set up during the initial alignment process. Initial alignment of gimballed inertial navigation system ( GINS) is accomplished by gyrocompassing techniques. These cannot be used, in the case of strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS), where the inertial instruments are directly strapped down to a vehicle frame. The basic objective of this paper is the development of digital method for the determination of the initial axes erection of a SDINS from vibration and sway currupted data on the launch pad.

Many approaches to image restoration are aimed at removing either gauss or impulse noise. This is because both types of degradation processes are distinct in nature, and hence they are easier to manage when considered separately. Nevertheless, it is possible to find them operating on the same image, which produces a hard damage. This happens when an image, already contaminated by Gaussian noise in the image acquisition procedure, undergoes impulsive corruption during its digital transmission. Here we proposed an algorithm first judge the type of the noise according to the difference values of pixel's neighborhood region and impulse noise's characteristic. Then removes the gauss noise by modified weighted mean filter and removes the impulse noise by modified nonlinear filter. The result of computer simulation on test images indicates that the proposed method is superior to traditional filtering algorithms. The proposed method can not only remove mixed noise effectively, but also preserve image details.

In this paper. we propose a digital watermarking method for still images in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. The adaptive watermark insertion method in the high frequency region within a given image is employed to increase the invisibility of the inserted watermark in images, in which variable block-size method is used for selection of the high frequency region. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method is robust to several common image processing techniques. including joint photographic experts group (JPEG) compression, lowpass filtering, multiple watermarking, and croppIng.

Most construction works on the soft ground adopt instrumentation to manage settlement and stability of the embankment. The rapid progress of the information technologies and the digital data acquisition on the soft ground instrumentation has led to the fast-growing amount of data. Although valuable information about the behaviour of the soft ground may be hiding behind the data, most of the data are used restrictedly only for the management of settlement and stability. One of the critical issues on soft ground instrumentation is the long-term settlement prediction. Some observational settlement analysis methods are used for this purpose. But the reliability of the analysis results is remained in vague. The knowledge could be discovered from a large volume of experiences on the observational settlement analysis. In this article, we present a database to store settlement records and data mining procedure. A large volume of knowledge about observational settlement prediction were collected from the database by applying the filtering algorithm and knowledge discovery algorithm. Statistical analysis revealed that the reliability of observational settlement analysis depends on stay duration and estimated degree of consolidation.

The study on shilla monumental inscription has been accomplished by many historians. However, the research on segmentation of monumental inscription image using digital image processing is not sufficient for restoration of the image. Although, many image processing methods have been proposed for region extraction in still image, there is no suitable method for accurate interpretation of monumental inscription image. To distinguish foreground and background region in the image, this paper presents new segmentation algorithm composed of contrast adjustment and median filtering, thresholding and sobel operation, as pre-processing and post-processing. The result show that background and foreground regions are segmented in monumental inscription image.
