코아(core) 기반의 SoC(System-on-Chip) 설계는 테스트에 관련된 많은 어려운 문제를 일으키고 있다. 그 중에서 방대한 분량의 테스트 데이터와 긴 테스트 패턴 인가시간은 SoC 테스트에서의 2가지 주요 문제로 떠오르고 있다. 많은 양의 테스트 데이터에 대한 저장공간과 인가시간을 줄이기 위한 방안으로서 테스트 벡터들의 반복되는 성질을 이용하여 최대한 효율적으로 압축하는 다양한 방법들이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 SoC 테스트를 위한 효율적인 테스트 데이터 압축 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 테스트 벡터 집합을 분할하고 최대한 반복되는 공통부분을 제거함으로써 테스트 데이터를 압축한다. 이 압축방법은 O(n2)의 시간복잡도를 가지며, 간단한 디코딩 하드웨어를 사용한다. 여기서 n은 테스트 벡터 수이다. 제안된 압축방법은 빠르고 쉬운 디코딩을 함께 사용하여 기존의 복잡한 소프트웨어 방식의 압축방법에 견줄만한 수준의 효율성을 보여준다.

The growth of telemedicine-based wireless communication for images-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT)-leads to the necessity of learning the concept of image compression. Over the years, the transform based and spatial based compression techniques have attracted many types of researches and achieve better results at the cost of high computational complexity. In order to overcome this, the optimization techniques are considered with the existing image compression techniques. However, it fails to preserve the original content of the diagnostic information and cause artifacts at high compression ratio. In this paper, the concept of histogram based multilevel thresholding (HMT) using entropy is appended with the optimization algorithm to compress the medical images effectively. However, the method becomes time consuming during the measurement of the randomness from the image pixel group and not suitable for medical applications. Hence, an attempt has been made in this paper to develop an HMT based image compression by utilizing the opposition based improved harmony search algorithm (OIHSA) as an optimization technique along with the entropy. Further, the enhancement of the significant information present in the medical images are improved by the proper selection of entropy and the number of thresholds chosen to reconstruct the compressed image.

Purpose : In a PACS(Picture Archiving Communications System) environment, which is a very important component in a digital medical environment, the compression of digital medical images is a necessary and effective feature. In a current system where JPEG is applied to the compression of medical images, this study is to examine effectiveness and suitability when the JPEG2000, a more advanced compression algorithm for still images, is applied to the compression of medical images. In this thesis, we attempt to address the compressibility for effective clinical usage when compressing medical images, applying the objectivization of clinical evaluation as a function of compressibility. In the experiment al method, the compression was applied at a fixed rate using JPEG2000, and the n the result was compared with compressed images by JPEG. Method : For the performance evaluation, we choose SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) measurement of an objective evaluation of definition and analyze a subjective evaluation by the ROC(Receiver Operating Characteristic) method. The results of the experiment showed that in the case of JPEG2000 there is hardly any distortion of images, even at high compression ratio(100:1), while regarding noise, the SNR remains around about 40dB, which is also relatively high. Before reading by reference to evaluative materials concerning objective compressed images, it is impossible to apply high compression to images : however, after reading, this can be applied to images that have already existed for some time.

본 연구에서는 의료영상 저장 및 전송 시스템에 필수적인 무손실 의료영상 압축 기법을 제안하였다. 의료영상은 방사선 영상 중에서 유방영상(mammography)과 자기공명영상을 사용하였으며, 이들 영상을 무손실로 압축하기 위하여 영역성장에 의한 영상분할 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리듬은 원 영상이 에러 영상과 불연속 계수 영상, 그리고 상위 비트 데이터 등 세 가지의 부 영역으로 분할되도록 하였다. 그리고 영역성장 과정 후 생성된 불연속 계수 영상 데이터와 에러 영상을 국제 이진영상압축 표준이며 그레이코드(graycode)화된 영상의 압축에 적합한 JBIG(Joint Bi-level Image expert Group) 알고리듬을 이용하여 압축시켰다. 제안한 알고리듬과 타 연구에서 사용된 기법들을 비교 검토 한 결과 제안한 무손실 압축 기법을 적용하여 얻어지는 압축율은 JBIG, JPEG, LZ 기법에 비해 평균적으로 각각 3.7%, 7.9%, 23.6% 정도 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of plain and steel fiber high strength concrete under uniaxial and biaxial loading condition. A number of plain and steel fiber high strength concrete cubes having 28 days compressive strength of 82.7Mpa (12,000psi) were made and tested. Four principal compression stress ratios, and four fiber concentrations were selected as major test variables. From test results, it is shown that confinement stress in minor stress direction has pronounced effect on the strength and deformational behavior. Both of the stiffness and ultimate strength of the plain and fiber high strength concrete increased. The maximum increase of ultimate strength occurred at biaxial stress ratio of 0.5 in the plain high strength concrete and the value were recorded 30 percent over than the strength under uniaxial condition. The failure modes of plain high strength concrete under uniaxial compression were shown as splitting type of failure but steel fiber concrete specimens under biaxial condition showed shear type failure.

Nowadays the amount of data obtained from advanced weather radars is growing to provide higher spatio-temporal resolution. Accordingly radar data compression is important to use limited network bandwidth and storage effectively. In this paper, we proposed a hierarchical compression method for weather radar data having high spatio-temporal resolution. The method is applied to radar reflectivity and evaluated in aspects of accuracy of quantitative rainfall intensity. The technique provides three compression levels from only 1 compressed stream for three radar user groups-signal processor, quality controller, weather analyst. Experimental results show that the method has maximum 13% and minimum 33% of compression rates, and outperforms 25% higher than general compression technique such as gzip.

One of the methods to increase the efficiency of an engine is to expand pressures obtained from combustions equal to the pressure of atmosphere as much as possible and then convert thermal energy into mechanical energy also as much as possible. In this research, the Diesel cycle was thermodynamically interpreted to evaluate the possibility of high efficiency by converting Diesel engines to the Atkinson cycle, and general cycle features were analyzed after comparing these two cycles. In the case of fuel air the Diesel-Atkinson cycle considering intake and exhaust similar to real cycles, the value of thermal efficiency and average effective pressure increased, though their values were smaller than those of standard air amount cycle, when expansion compression ratio increased. When normal Diesel engines of which compression stroke and expansion stroke are all the same, was converted to the Atkinson cycle by changing the time of intake value close, combustion pressure reduced due to reduced expansion compression ratio and intake air amount due to decreased effective cycle volume.

When a high-speed railway train enters a tunnel, a compression wave is generated ahead of the train and propagates along the tunnel, compressing and accelerating the rest air in front of the wave. At the exit of the tunnel, an impulsive wave is emitted outward toward the surrounding, which causes a positive impulsive noise like a kind of sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft. With the advent of high-speed train, such an impulsive noise can be large enough to cause the noise problem, unless some attempts are made to alleviate its pressure levels. For the purpose of the impulsive noise reduction, the present study investigated the effect of a vertical bleed duct on the compression wave propagating into a model tunnel. Numerical results were obtained using a Piecewise Linear Method and testified by experiment of shock tube with an open end. The results showed that the vertical bleed duct reduces the maximum pressure gradient of compression wave front by about 30 percent, compared with the straight tunnel without the bleed duct. As the width of the vertical bleed duct becomes larger, reduction of the impulsive noise is expected to be greater. However the impulsive noise is independent of the height of the vertical bleed duct.

비디오 객체 분할(Video Object Segmentation)은 MPEG-4 부호화의 핵심기술로 실시간 요구사항을 위해 빠르고 정확하여야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 존재하는 알고리즘은 계산량이 많으며 실시간 응용을 위해 적합하지 않다. 또한 이전 MPEG-4 VM(Verification Model) 기본 모델은 MPEG-4 부호화 처리를 위한 기본 알고리즘을 제공하였으나 실시간 요구사항을 위한 카메라 입력 시스템, 실용적인 소프트웨어 개발, 비디오 객체 분할 그리고 압축효율에 많은 제한이 있다. 이에 본 논문은 기본 MPEG-4 VM모델에 내용 기반 비디오 코딩의 핵심인 VOP 추출알고리즘, 실시간 카메라 입력 시스템, 압축율을 높일 수 있는 움직임 감지 알고리즘을 추가하여 최대 180:1의 압축율을 보여주는 실시간 고압축 MPEG-4 전처리 시스템을 개발하였다.

DVR 시스템은 비디오 데이터를 저장/재생해야 하기 때문에 대용량의 비디오 데이터를 압축하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 압축 방법으로 기존의 MPEG-4 압축을 사용하는 고성능 DVR 제품군은 국내외 적으로 다수가 있으나, 성능은 대부분 입력 영상에 비해서, 열화된 영상 크기인 CIF(D1/4)크기를 압축하는 DVR이 대다수이다 본 논문에서는 DSP를 이용하여 M-JPEG과 H.264 코덱을 구현하였다 M-JPEG은 다채널 모니터링을 위한 네트워크 전송용으로 사용하였으며, H.264는 Baseline Profile을 지원하여 기존의 MPEG-4 압축에 비해 $2{\sim}4$배 압축률 상승시켰다. 그 결과 가로 720픽셀, 세로 480픽셀의 고해상도를 지원할 수 있게 되었다.
