We consider the problem of designing independently operating local quantizers at nodes in distributed estimation systems, where many spatially distributed sensor nodes measure a parameter of interest, quantize these measurements, and send the quantized data to a fusion node, which conducts the parameter estimation. Motivated by the discussion that the estimation accuracy can be improved by using the quantized data with a high probability of occurrence, we propose an iterative algorithm with a simple design rule that produces quantizers by searching boundary values with an increased likelihood. We prove that this design rule generates a considerably reduced interval for finding the next boundary values, yielding a low design complexity. We demonstrate through extensive simulations that the proposed algorithm achieves a significant performance gain with respect to traditional quantizer designs. A comparison with the recently published novel algorithms further illustrates the benefit of the proposed technique in terms of performance and design complexity.

It is difficult to determine the feeding rate of coagulant in the water treatment plant, due to nonlinearity, multivariables and slow response characteristics, etc. To deal with this difficulty, the neuro-fuzzy system and the genetic-fuzzy system were used in determining the feeding rate of the coagulant. The fuzzy system is excellently robust in multi-variables and nonlinear problems. Therefore it uses basic algorithm, but it is difficult to construct of the fuzzy parameter such as the rule table and the membership function, Therefore we made the neuro-fuzzy system and the genetic-fuzzy system with the fusion of learning algorithms and compared the performance of the two fuzzy systems. To apply these algorithms, we made the rule table, membership function from the actual operation data of the water treatment plant. We determined optimized feeding rate of coagulant using the fuzzy operation, and also compared ...

In this paper, we analyze the spectrum-sensing performance of a cooperative cognitive radio (CR) network consisting of a number of CR nodes and a fusion center (FC). We introduce the "log-average-SNR ratio" that relates the average SNR of the CR-node-FC link and that of the primary-user-CR-node link. Assuming that the FC utilizes the K-out-of-N rule as its decision rule, we derive exact expressions for the sensing gain and the coding gain - parameters used to characterize the CR network performance at the high SNR region. Based on these results, we determine ways to optimize the performance of the CR network.

In this paper we propose a fuzzy-neural network(FNN) which includes both advantages of the fuzzy logic and the neural network. The basic idea of the FNN is to realize the fuzzy rule-base and the process of reasoning by neural network and to make the corresponding parameters be expressed by the connection weights of neural network. After constructing the FNN, a novel controller consisting of a conventional P-controller and a FNN is explained. In this control scheme, the rule-base of a FNN are automatically generated by error back-propagation algorithm. Also the parallel connection of the P-controller and the FNN can guarantee the stability of a plant at initial stage before the rules are completely created. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed strategy will be verified by computer simulations using a 2 degree of freedom robot manipulator.

Several fine particle-related policies in Northeast United States were investigated in support of the execution of special measures to improve air quality of Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA). The definition of particulate matter (PM) in the Clean Air Act (CAA), components and procedures of Regional Haze Rule (RHR), and Air Quality Management (AQM) were reviewed. Several State Implementation Plans (SIPs) were also reviewed as the way to attain required air quality under the Clean Air Act. $PM_{2.5}$ attainment SIP of Maryland, 8-hr Ozone attainment SIP of New Jersey, and Regional Haze Rule attainment SIP of MANE-VU were analyzed in detail as case studies. We realized that "Special Measures for Air Quality Improvement in the Seoul Metropolitan Area" has many similarities with its US counterparts in terms of purpose, components, procedures, and implementation methods. US policies, however, have more advanced features, such as standardized procedures and methods, transparent guidelines, and stable relationship among federal/state/local governments and stakeholders, which would be helpful to improve air quality in SMA.

Spectrum sensing plays an important role in spectrum sharing. Energy detection is generally used because it does not require a priori knowledge of primary user (PU) signals; however, it is sensitive to noise uncertainty. An order statistics (OS) detector provides inherent protection against nonhomogeneous background signals. However, no analysis has been conducted yet to apply OS detection to spectrum sensing in a wireless channel to solve noise uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a robust spectrum sensing scheme based on generalized order statistics (GOS) and analyze the exact false alarm and detection probabilities under noise uncertainty. From the equation of the exact false alarm probability, the threshold value is calculated to maintain a constant false alarm rate. The detection probability is obtained from the calculated threshold under noise uncertainty. As a fusion rule for cooperative spectrum sensing, we adopt an OR rule, that is, a 1-out-of-N rule, and we call the proposed scheme GOS-OR. The analytical results show that the GOS-OR scheme can achieve optimum performance and maintain the desired false alarm rates if the coefficients of the GOS-OR detector can be correctly selected.

얼굴인식 기술은 지능형 보안, 웹에서 콘텐츠 검색, 지능로봇의 시각부분, 머신인터페이스 등, 활용이 광범위 하다. 그러나 일반적으로 대상자의 표정과 포즈 변화, 주변의 조명 환경과 같은 문제가 있으며 이와 더불어 원거리에서 획득한 영상의 경우 저해상도를 비롯하여 블러와 잡음에 의한 영상의 열화 등의 여러 가지 어려움이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 포톤 카운팅(Photon-counting) 선형판별법(Linear Discriminant Analysis)을 이용한 다중 분류기(Classifier)에 의한 판정을 융합하여 얼굴 영상 인식을 수행한다. Fisher 선형판별법은 집단 간 분산을 최대로 하고 집단 내 분산을 최소로 하는 공간으로 선형 투영하는 방법으로, 학습영상의 수가 적을 경우 특이행렬 문제가 발생하지만 포톤카운팅 선형 판별법은 이러한 문제가 없으므로 차원축소를 위한 전 처리 과정이 필요 없다. 본 논문의 다중 분류기는 포톤 카운팅 선형판별법의 유클리드 거리(Euclidean Distance) 또는 정규화된 상관(Normalized Correlation)을 적용하는 판정규칙에 따라 구성된다. 다중분류기의 판정의 융합은 각 분류기 cost의 정규화(Normalization), 유효화(Validation), 그리고 융합규칙(Fusion Rule)으로 구성된다. 각 분류기에서 도출된 cost는 같은 범위로 정규화된 후 유효화 과정에서 선별되고 Minimum, 또는 Average, 또는 Majority-voting의 융합규칙에 의하여 융합된다. 실험에서는 원거리에서 획득한 효과를 구현하기 위하여 고해상도 데이터베이스 영상을 인위적으로 Unfocusing과 Motion 블러를 이용하여 열화하여 테스트하였다. 실험 결과는 다중분류기 융합결과의 인식률은 단일분류기보다 높다는 것을 보여준다.

Adsorption of 4,4'-bis(mercaptomethyl)biphenyl (44BMBP) on silver nanoparticles has been investigated by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. In addition, the Raman spectra of 44BMBP in solid state and in basic condition have been obtained for comparative study to elicit the characteristics of adsorption. The observed Raman and SERS spectra were analyzed comparing with the normal modes and vibrational frequencies from density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed for the feasible structures of 44BMBP molecule. On the basis of excellent agreement between the calculated and the experimental results, the molecule is found to have both the cis- and trans-forms for the mercaptomethyl groups in the solid state as well as in the basic condition. In contrast, the molecule is found to be chemisorbed on the silver surface by forming two Ag-S linkages only in the cis-form but not in the trans-form due to the steric interruption, which indicates the parallel orientation of molecules on the surface. Particularly, the spectral features in the SERS spectra such as the absence of the C-H stretching band and enhancement for the out-of-plane skeletal modes are confirmatory for the parallel geometry through ${\pi}$ interaction between the phenyl rings and the metal surface, based on the electromagnetic surface selection rule.

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the construction of super high-rise buildings. From the prior art, various procedures and devices for surveys during and after the phase of erection of a high-rise building are known. High-rise buildings are subject to strong external tilt effects caused, for instance, by wind pressures, unilateral thermal effects by exposure to sunlight, and unilateral loads. Such effects are a particular challenge in the phase of construction of a high-rise building, in as much as the high-rise building under construction is also subject to tilt effects, and will at least temporarily lose its - as a rule exactly vertical - alignment. Yet construction should progress in such a way that the building is aligned as planned, and particularly so in the vertical, when returning into an un-tilted basic state.It is essential that a straight element be constructed that theoretically, even when moving around its design centre point due to varying loads, would have an exactly vertical alignment when all biasing conditions are neutralised. Because of differential raft settlement, differential concrete shortening, and construction tolerances, this ideal situation will rarely be achieved. This paper describes a procedure developed by the authors using GPS observations combined with a network of precision inclination sensor to provide reliable coordinated points at the top of the worldwide highest-rise building under construction in Dubai.

본 논문에서는 에너지 검출 기법의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 각각의 SU(Secondary User)에서 수신한 PU(Primaty User) 신호의 크기를 바탕으로 대수적 연산을 통해 에러 확률이 가장 낮은 최적의 임계값을 찾아 PU의 신호를 검출하는 기법을 제안하며 최적의 임계값을 고려해 생성된 local decision을 바탕으로 가장 낮은 에러 확률을 보이는 K-out-of-n 법칙에 적용하는 방법을 연구한다. 각각의 SU에서 최적의 임계값을 찾고 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법의 성능 평가를 위해 Matlab을 이용하여 이를 시뮬레이션하고, 기존의 협력 스펙트럼 검출 기법 중 하나인 OR 법칙과 비교 분석한다. Matlab을 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과, 최적의 임계값을 이용한 K-out-of-n 법칙이 기존의 OR 법칙에 비해 오 경보 확률 및 미 검출 확률이 감소한 것을 알 수 있다.
