In this paper, a multi-scale local difference directional number (MLDDN) pattern is proposed for pig identification. Firstly, the color images of individual pig are converted into grey images by the most significant bits (MSB) quantization, which makes the grey values have better discrimination. Then, Gabor amplitude and phase responses on different scales are obtained by convoluting the grey images with Gabor masks. Next, by calculating the main difference of local edge directions instead of traditionally edge information, the directional numbers of Gabor amplitude and phase responses are encoded. Finally, the block histograms of the encoded images are concatenated on each scale, and the maximum pooling is adopted on different scales to avoid the high feature dimension. Experimental results on two pigsties show that MLDDN impressively outperforms the other widely used local descriptors.

본 논문은 잡음이 존재하는 전송 선로를 통해 전송된 영상의 손실 블록에 대해 방향성 복구 방법을 제안한다. 손실된 DCT 계수나 화소값들은 손실된 블록 주위의 마주보는 블록 간 DC값 차이(DDC:Difference of DC)와 AC계수의 유사성(SAC: Similarity of AC)으로 구성된 방향성 척도에 의해 적응적으로 선택되어진 이웃 블록들을 이용해서 선형 보간법으로 복구된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방향성 복구 방법은 고정된 이웃 블록을 이용하지 않고 국부 영상 내의 방향성 정보에 따라 적응적으로 변하는 이웃 블록들이 사용하기 때문에 강한 에지 성분이나 텍스쳐 영역에 대해서 효과적이다. 본 논문에서는 DDC와 SAC로 구성된 새로운 방향성 척도(CDS: Combination of DDC and SAC)를 구하고 그 방향성 척도를 통해 국부 영역의 특성에 따라 손실된 블록을 복구하기 위한 블록들을 선택한다. 모의실험에서 제안 방법은 기존의 방법보다 평균적으로 약 0.6dB의 PSNR 개선을 보였다.

In this work, we presented the characterization of 3 dB branch type directional couplers by using High-Tc superconducting thin films. To do this, we deposited YBCO superconducting thin films on MgO substrates by using rf-magnetron sputtering techniques. The designed center frequency was 408 MHz and the designed passband was 20 MHz. Also we designed 3 dB Power difference and $90^{\circ}$ of phase difference between port 3 and port 4. The even and odd mode analysis were used to characterize our directional couplers and em Sonnet (full wave analysis program) was utilized to the optimum design. We reported experimental results, including a center frequency, passband, half power characteristics and phase differences. We confirmed that experimental results were in good agreements with characterization by using full wave analysis program.

In this paper, a new type microstrip directional coupler has been designed and a 3dB coupler has been fabricated and measured. The measured and analysed results are agree well each other except difference of 1 dB insertion loss. There are two eigenmodes, e.g. even and odd mode in coupled microstrip lines. By using the difference between these two eigenmodes phase constants, the directional coupler can be designed by adjusting coupling length, which has a desired coupler has a disdvantage that its coupling length is longer than conventional oe, but it may be used as a useful coupler in millimeter wave range. And it has the merit of less discontinuity effects, becuase it is simpler than the other couplers in structure.

본 연구에서는 하천유역에서 사면과 하천망의 방향적 특성을 von Mises 분포를 이용하여 정량화하고, 그 둘 사이의 관계를 살펴보았다. 궁극적으로는 사면과 하천의 방향성이 일정한 관계를 갖는지, 이러한 특성이 강우-유출 모형에 고려될 수 있는지에 대해 살펴보았다. 대상유역인 내성천 유역에 적용한 결과, von Mises 분포는 하천망의 방향적 특성을 적절히 표현할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 하천망의 방향성은 사면의 방향성과 뚜렷한 관계를 가지며, 고차 하천일수록 뚜렷한 mode 특성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 하천과 사면의 방향성에 따른 유출응답 특성을 정량적으로 파악하는데 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Directional emission of light exiting a photonic crystal waveguide by a coherent action of radiative surface modes was recently demonstrated, and subsequently the substantial enhancement of the directional emission was achieved by engineering the surface and adjusting relevant parameters. Here we present the analysis of surface modes causing the enhanced emission by the plane wave expansion method and the finite-difference time-domain method. In particular, surface band structures are calculated for nonradiative and radiative surface modes, respectively, and intensity profiles of some representative modes for nonradiative and radiative cases are given.

This article presents an adaptive directional differential evolution (ADDE) algorithm and its application in solving discrete sizing truss optimization problems. The algorithm is featured by a new self-adaptation approach and a simple directional strategy. In the adaptation approach, the mutation operator is adjusted in accordance with the change of population diversity, which can well balance between global exploration and local exploitation as well as locate the promising solutions. The directional strategy is based on the order relation between two difference solutions chosen for mutation and can bias the search direction for increasing the possibility of finding improved solutions. In addition, a new scaling factor is introduced as a vector of uniform random variables to maintain the diversity without crossover operation. Numerical results show that the optimal solutions of ADDE are as good as or better than those from some modern metaheuristics in the literature, while ADDE often uses fewer structural analyses.

As an important part of image processing, image demosaicking has been widely researched. It is especially necessary to propose an efficient interpolation algorithm with good visual quality and performance. To improve the limitations of residual interpolation (RI), based on RI algorithm, minimalized-Laplacian RI (MLRI), and iterative RI (IRI), this paper focuses on adaptive RI (ARI) and proposes an improved ARI (IARI) algorithm which obtains more distinct R, G, and B colors in the images. The proposed scheme fully considers the brightness information and edge information of the image. Since the ARI algorithm is not completely adaptive, IARI algorithm executes ARI algorithm twice on R and B components according to the directional difference, which surely achieves an adaptive algorithm for all color components. Experimental results show that the improved method has better performance than other four existing methods both in subjective assessment and objective assessment, especially in the complex edge area and color brightness recovery.

Binaural hearing aids with a voice transmitter have been widely used to enhance sound quality in noisy environment. However, this system has a limitation on sound-source localization. In this study, we investigated automatic directional-gain control method using geomagnetic sensors to provide directional information to binaural hearing aid user. The loudness gains of two hearing aids were differently controlled based on the directional information between a speaker position and a viewing direction of hearing aids user. This relative directional information was measured by two geomagnetic sensors on hearing aids user and a speaker. The results showed that the loudness gains were accurately controlled and could provide directional information based on the cue of interaural level differences.
