Zerotreeimage coding is known as a simple and effective image comprssion algorithm. It has the property that the compression is generated in order of improtance. Conventionally, a fixed threshold is applied to the entire wavelet coefficients regardless of frequency and local features of an image. In this paper, we propose a new zerotree coding scheme with adaptive threshold. The adaptive threshold is determined by human visual characteristics. It is shown that the image quality of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional method.

This paper proposes single logarithmic amplification (single-LA) and deep learning (DL)-based fixed-threshold on-off keying (OOK) detection for free-space optical (FSO) communication. Multilevel LAs (MLAs) can be used to mitigate intensity fluctuations in the received OOK signal by their nonlinear gain characteristics; however, it is ineffective in the case of high scintillation, owing to degradation of the OOK signal's extinction ratio. Therefore, a DL technique is applied to realize effective scintillation compensation in single-LA applications. Fully connected (FC) networks and fully connected neural networks (FCNN), which have nonlinear modeling characteristics, are deployed in this work. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through simulations under various scintillation effects. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional adaptive-threshold-decision, single-LA-based, MLA-based, FC-based, and FCNN-based OOK detection techniques.

본 연구에서는 3축 가속도 측정을 위한 LSM을 개발하고 가변 진폭을 이용하여 걸음수 검출 정확도를 향상시킨 가변 진폭 임계값 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 테스트 프로토콜에 따라 실험하여 수집한 x, y, z 값을 SVM(Signal Vector Magnitude) 알고리즘을 사용하여 하나의 에너지값($E_t$)으로 변환하고 Peak 데이터 검출 알고리즘과 고정 Peak 임계값을 사용하여 평균 99%이상의 정확도로 걸음수를 검출하였다. 그러나 검출한 걸음이 정확한 걸음임을 증명하기 위해 에너지값($E_t$)의 진폭 크기로부터 고정 진폭 임계값을 구하고 노이즈를 필터링 한 결과 걸음수 검출 오차율이 증가하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 오차율을 줄이기 위하여 고정 진폭 임계값이 아닌 데이터를 관찰하여 적응적으로 변화하는 가변 진폭 임계값 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 가변 진폭 임계값 알고리즘을 적용한 결과, 걸음수 검출의 평균 정확도는 샘플링 주기 10Hz에서 평균 98.9%, 20Hz에서는 99.6%로 높아졌다.

하천수 가뭄을 평가하기 위하여 임계수준 방법을 이용한 하천수 가뭄지수 (streamflow drought index)를 소개하고 섬진강댐의 유입량을 대상으로 적용하였다. 사용한 임계수준은 고정, 월별 및 일별로써 연도별 가뭄의 1~3순위 분석결과, 1984년, 1988년과 1995년이 수문학적 가뭄의 크기도 컸고 오랫동안 지속되었다. 총 물 부족량과 지속기간의 극한값을 연도별로 비교해 본 바, 1984년, 1988년, 1995년과 2001년에 발생하였던 사상이 심각한 수준이었다. 또한 고정 임계수준은 계절 변동성을 반영하지못하는 단점이 있어서 최소한계절 이하의 임계수준 사용이 요구되었지만 월별과 일별로 정해진 임계수준은 적정한 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법론은 갈수예보 및 저수지 용량결정에 활용될 수 있겠다.

In this paper, we propose two schemes to reduce the complexity of fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) algorithm in the ordering and tree-search stages, respectively, while achieving quasi-ML performance. In the ordering stage, we propose a QR-decomposition-based FSD signal ordering based on the zero-forcing criterion (FSD-ZF-SQRD) that requires only a few number of additional complex flops compared to the unsorted QRD. Also, the proposed ordering algorithm is extended using the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to achieve better performance. In the tree-search stage, we introduce a threshold-based complexity reduction approach for the FSD depending on the reliability of the signal with the largest noise amplification. Numerical results show that in 8 ${\times}$ 8 MIMO system, the proposed FSD-ZF-SQRD and FSD-MMSE-SQRD only require 19.5% and 26.3% of the computational efforts required by Hassibi's scheme, respectively. Moreover, a third threshold vector is outlined which can be used for high order modulation schemes. In 4 ${\times}$ 4 MIMO system using 16-QAM and 64-QAM, simulation results show that when the proposed threshold-based approach is employed, FSD requires only 62.86% and 53.67% of its full complexity, respectively.

As e-mail is becoming increasingly important in every day life activity, mail users spend more and more time organizing and classifying the e-mails they receive into folder. Many existing recommendation systems or text classification are mostly focused on recommending the products for the commercial purposes or web documents. So this study aims to apply these application to e-mail more necessary to users. This paper suggests a dynamic recommendation agent system based on Rule Filtering Component recommending the relevant category to enable users directly to manage the optimum classification when a new e-mail is received as the effective method for E-Mail Management. Moreover we try to improve the accuracy as eliminating the limits of misclassification that can be key in classifying e-mails by category. While the existing Bayesian Learning Algorithm mostly uses the fixed threshold, we prove to improve the satisfaction of users as increasing the accuracy by changing the fixed threshold to the dynamic threshold. We designed main modules by rule filtering component for enhanced scalability and reusability of our system.

본 논문에서는 초음파 센서로 거리를 측정할 때 간섭에 의해 발생하는 유령 신호를 배제하고 올바른 신호를 인식하는 초음파 센서 간 신호 간섭 제거 방안을 제시한다. 제안하는 기법에서는 이전 거리 측정 값과 현재 거리 측정 값을 비교하여 거리의 변화가 한계값을 벗어나면 유령 신호로 인식하고 배제한다. 기존 기법에서는 한계값이 고정되어 있어서 초음파 센서나 대상 물체가 급격하게 움직일 경우 유령 신호를 제대로 배제하기 어렵지만, 제안하는 기법에서는 한계값을 고정하지 않고 초음파 센서나 대상 물체가 움직일 경우 상대 속도에 따라 한계값을 적응적으로 결정하는 알고리즘을 사용하여 정확도를 높인다. 초음파 센서로 물체까지의 거리를 측정할 때 간섭이 가장 잘 일어나는 동종의 초음파 센서를 다수 사용하여 간섭 신호를 발생시키는 실험을 진행하였고 제안하는 기법이 효과적으로 유령 신호를 배제하는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an algorithm to extract bar-space area is suggested. In a section of bar-code space area the threshold value is computed, and bar and space are extracted according to threshold value. PDF417 is used everyday life and printed in many different materials. The printed PDF417 is especially influenced by various light source. The decision of bar and space is very hard under the change of illumination. The fixed threshold value to distinguish the bar and space can not be applied. in these cases, The proposed algorithm is developed to investigate variable threshold. The variable threshold can be obtained by simple calculation.

Purpose: The study aims to analyze effects of wage on FDI inflows based on the threshold of institutional quality in 14 developing economies of Southeast and South Asia over the period from 2000-2017. Research design, data, and methodology: The study applies a fixed effect panel threshold regression. As a proxy for the institutional quality, it uses the six components of Worldwide Governance Indicators or a compound index obtained by an average of the six components. The data were taken from World Bank, the Chinn & Ito Database, and UNCTAD. To the best of our knowledge, no researches so far have considered the threshold of institutional quality in estimating the effect of wage on FDI inflows. Results: The composite index and each component of the six indicators of institutional quality except for voice and accountability, and regulatory quality are found to have nonlinear effects on FDI inflows. When the institutional quality is below the threshold, wage affects FDI inflows negatively. When the institutional quality is above the threshold, however, wage does not significantly affect FDI inflows. Conclusions: The effect of wage on FDI inflows varies depending on whether the institutional quality of the target countries is above or below the threshold.
