Multiview plus depth (MVD) videos are widely used in free-viewpoint TV systems. The best-known technique to determine depth information is based on stereo vision. In this paper, we propose a novel local stereo matching algorithm which is radiometric invariant. The key idea is to use a combined matching cost of intensity and gradient based similarity measure. In addition, we realize an adaptive cost aggregation scheme by constructing an adaptive support window for each pixel, which can solve the boundary and low texture problems. In the disparity refinement process, we propose a four-step post-processing technique to handle outliers and occlusions. Moreover, we conduct stereo reconstruction tests to verify the performance of the algorithm more intuitively. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and robust against local radiometric distortion. It has an average error of 5.93% on the Middlebury benchmark and is compatible to the state-of-art local methods.

An informed watermarking algorithm is proposed in this work that aids in concealing packet loss errors in video communications. This watermark-based error concealment(WEC) method embeds a low resolution version of the video frame inside itself as watermark data. At the receiver, the extracted watermark is used as a reference for error concealment. The proposed DCT-based algorithm has features of informed watermarking in order to minimize the distortion of the host frame. At the encoder, a predictive feedback loop Is employed which helps to adjusts the strength of the scale factor Furthermore, some of the modified coefficients of the DCT signal are virtually free from distortion by employing bit- sign adaptivity. The performance of the detector is Qualitatively analyzed for error concealment applications where full-frame DCT embedding proved to be more advantageous.

The most important features of linear soil-foundation-structure interaction are reviewed, using stochastic modeling and considering kinematic interaction, inertial interaction, and structural distortion as three separate stages of the dynamic response to the free-field motion. The way in which each of the three dynamic stages modifies the spectral density of the motion is studied, with the emphasis being on interpretation of these results, rather than on the development of new analysis techniques. Structural distortion and inertial interaction analysis are shown to be precisely modeled as linear filtering operations. Kinematic interaction, though, is more complicated, even though it has a filter-like effect on the frequency content of the motion.

We have obtained the analytic solutions of the four spherical mirror system free from the Seidel third order aberratios which are spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, and distortion, Vignetting. Petzval field curvature, and optical properties according to the design parameters are numerically investigated and optimized. The numerical aperture of this system is 0.2 and the half field angle is $1.5^{\circ}$.

For some applications such as teleconference or telecommunication systems using a distant-talking hands-free microphone, the near-end speech signals to be transmitted is disturbed by an ambient noise and by an echo which is due to the coupling between the microphone and the loudspeaker. Furthermore, the environmental noise including channel distortion or additive noise is assumed to affect the original input speech. In the present paper, a new approach using echo canceller and maximum a posteriori(MAP) estimation is introduced to improve the accuracy of hands-free speech recognition. In this approach, it was shown that the proposed system was effective for hands-free speech recognition in ambient noise environment including echo. The experimental results also showed that the combination system between echo canceller and MAP environmental adaptation technique were well adapted to echo and noise environment.

Nonlinear distortion introduced by the optical transmitter using a direct modulation of laser diode(LD) and an indirect modulation of optical modulator can limit considerably the performance of analog optical link system such as subcarrier multiplexing system. In this paper, we have compensated the nonlinear distortion of LD and optical modulator using electrical predistorter. In the case of LD, two-tone experiments using 877.5 MHz and 882.5 MHz have shown reduction of 19 dB in third-order intermodulation product(IMP$_3$). And in the case of optical modulator, we have achieved nearly 21 dB reduction in IMP3 through two-tone experiments using 1.8975 GHz and 1.9025 GHz. The spurious free dynamic ranges of LD and optical modulator are also improved by 5 dB/Hz$^{2}$ 3/ and 7 dB/Hz$^{2}$ 3/, respectively.

This paper focuses on the development of speech enhancement techniques for hands-free audio terminals, including two major problems : noise cancellation and acoustic echo cancellation. The objective is to find a joint structure to get a near-end speech signal with minimum distortion and low levels of echo and noise. To solve the two problems, a new promising technique is studied and tested in computer simulation conditions.

밀리미터파 대역의 아날로그 광전송을 위한 진행파형 (travel ing wave, TW) 전계흡수 광변조기 (electroabsorption modulator, EAM)와 광수신기의 설계에 대해 발표하고자 한다. TW EAM 및 TW 광수신기의 일반적인 형태인 ridge-type의 co-planar waveguide (CPW)구조에서의 마이크로파의 전송특성을 3차원 FDTD로 분석하여 광파와 전파의 속도 정합 등을 이루는 최적화 구조를 설계하였다. TW EAM의 경우 광세기 변조의 비선형 응답특성에 있어서 마이크로파 손실과 소자길이가 RF 신호의 혼변조 왜곡 (intermodulation distortion)과 SFDR (spurious free dynamic range)성능에 미치는 영향도 이론적으로 조사하였다. TW PIN 광수신기의 경우 광파와 마이크로파의 속도정합의 영향과 이전에는 고려되지 않았던 photo-generated 전송자의 진성 영역에서의 transit time이 광수신기의 밴드 폭에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적화 설계하였다.

The plane speaker is inspected by the free vibration theory, the sound pressure, and the holographic interferometry. It is shown that time-average holographic interferometry is useful for the vibration analysis of the plane speaker. The position of supporter dertermined experimentally and theoretically, the value of r/a, is 0.68. Theoretical analysis of the free vibration for the plate agrees pretty well with the experimental results. The plane speaker is distorted vibrationally by the suppoter, but the distortion is not seen in the newly designed speaker.
