This paper presents an equal bit rate control algorithm utilizing the statistical change between the previous frame and the current frame. The previous studies on the model-based rate control have focused on the models of bit rate and distortion in types of coders, in terms of the quantization parameter. The proposed algorithm improves the typical model-based rate control by updating a model parameter instead of modeling a better model of the rate and distortion. The proposed algorithm updates this model parameter by recognizing the change in statistics between the previous frame and the current frame. We implement the proposed algorithm in MPEG-4 coders and verify its performance while comparing it to the TMN8's approach (up to 0.6dB of improvement).

In this paper, we propose a rate-distortion optimization method to improve the coding efficiency of the conventional 3D-DCT based compression method using adaptive block mode selection for integral images. In the conventional 3D-DCT based compression method, 3D-DCT blocks of variable block sizes are adaptively selected depending on the characteristics of integral images, and then 3D-DCT is performed. The proposed method applies a rate-distortion optimization to determine the optimal block mode. In addition, we suggest the optimal Lagrangian parameter for integral images. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives bit-rate reduction of about 5%.

Recently, in wireless video sensor networks(WVSN), various schemes for efficient video data transmission have been studied. In this paper, a layer based cooperative relaying(LCR) algorithm is proposed for minimizing scalable video transmission distortion from packet loss in WVSN. The proposed LCR algorithm consists of two modules. In the first step, a parameter based error propagation metric is proposed to predict the effect of each scalable layer on video quality degradation at low complexity. In the second step, a layer-based cooperative relay algorithm is proposed to minimize distortion due to packet loss using the proposed error propagation metric and channel information of the video sensor node and relay node. In the experiment, the proposed algorithm showed that the improvement of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in various channel environments, compared to the previous algorithm(Energy based Cooperative Relaying, ECR) without considering the metric of error propagation.The proposed LCR algorithm minimizes video quality degradation from packet loss using both the channel information of relaying node and the amount of layer based error propagation in scalable video.

This study is made to provide with a method for correcting the geometric distortion of the digital radiography image by analytical approach based upon the inverse square law and Beer's law. This study is aimed to find out and improve a mathematic model of nonlinear type. Variations in the alignment of the X-ray source, the object, and imaging plate affect digital radiography images. A model which is expressed in parameter values; e.g, angle, position, absorption coefficient, length, width and pixel account of radiography source, is developed so as to match the sample image. For the best correction of the digital image that is the most similar to the model image, a correction technique based upon tangent is developed; then applied to the digital radiography images of steel tubes. As a result, the image correction is confirmed to be made successfully.

In real environment, background noise exists everywhere and degrades the performance of system. To reduce this distortion, a speech enhancement algorithm can be very useful and variety methods have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a postfilter to improve the performance of optimally modified log-spectral amplitude (OM-LSA) estimator. Proposed algorithm uses the formant postfilter to minimize perceptual distortion caused by background noise. We adjust an emphasizing parameter which is varied by spectral flatness and first reflection coefficient. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by measuring the log-spectral distance (LSD) and the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) score. The test results show the improvement of proposed algorithm compared to conventional OM-LSA.

Generally, a voltage difference exists between the reference and the output voltagesin a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverter (VSI). In this paper, the nonlinearity in a PWM VSI is analyzed and a new on-line estimation method in consideration of parameter variations for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is proposed to compensate the time varying voltage distortion.

The positions of galaxies in comoving Cartesian space varies under different cosmological parameter choices, inducing a redshift-dependent scaling in the galaxy distribution. The shape of the two-point correlation of galaxies exhibits a significant redshift evolution when the galaxy sample is analyzed under a cosmology differing from the true, simulated one. In our previous works, we can made use of this geometrical distortion to constrain the values of cosmological parameters governing the expansion history of the universe. This current work is a continuation of our previous works as a strategy to constrain cosmological parameters using redshift-invariant physical quantities. We now aim to understand the redshift evolution of the full shape of the small scale, anisotropic galaxy clustering and give a firmer theoretical footing to our previous works.

A new method to determine the total harmonic contributions of several customers and the utility at the point of common coupling is presented. The proposed method can quantify the individual harmonic impact of each suspicious harmonic source at the point of common coupling. The individual harmonic impact index is then used to assess the total harmonic contribution of each harmonic source. This index can be calculated by the results processed from instantaneous harmonic voltage and current phasor values. The results demonstrate the performance of the proposed method in terms of steady-state accuracy and response to time-varying operating conditions. The proposed index can be used for billing purposes to control harmonic distortion levels in power systems.

This paper studies the effects of the method, CMS(Cepstral Mean Subtraction), (which compensates for some of the speech distortion. caused by telephone channels), on the performance of the text-dependent speaker identification system. This system is based on the VQ(Vector Quantization) and HMM(Hidden Markov Model) method and chooses the LPC-Cepstrum and Mel-Cepstrum as the feature vectors extracted from the speech data transmitted through telephone channels. Accordingly, we can compare the correct recognition rates of the speaker identification system between the use of LPC-Cepstrum and Mel-Cepstrum. Finally, from the experiment results table, it is found that the Mel-Cepstrum parameter is proven to be superior to the LPC-Cepstrum and that recognition performance improves by about 10% when compensating for telephone channel using the CMS.
