A simple and effective filtering method to control the member size of an optimized structure is proposed for topology optimization. In the present approach, the original objective sensitivities are replaced with their relative values evaluated within a filtering area. By adjusting the size of the filtering area, the member size of an optimized structure or the level of its topological complexity can be controlled even within a given finite element mesh. In contrast to the checkerboard-free filter, the present filter focuses on high-frequency components of the sensitivities. Since the present filtering method does not add a penalty term to the objective function nor require additional constraints, it is not only efficient but also simple to implement. Mean compliance minimization and eigenfrequency maximization problems are considered to verify the effectiveness of the present approach.

Airborne laser scanning system needs preprocessing which removes some objects such as buildings from the raw DSM data to construct DEM in building area because the laser pulse can't penetrate into the buildings. This study applied the mean filtering method which has various size filter to the DSM data constructed by airborne laser scanning system and decided the optimal filter size as $39{\times}39$ by analyzing the standard deviation change ratio. Also, this study could get the ${\pm}0.065m$ standard error by comparing the optimal filtering DEM and DSM raw data of airborne laser scanning. Therefore, it could know that the mean filtering method, which is presented in this study, is very effective to extract DEM in the urban area which has a low relief.

In this paper, we propose multi-scale infrared target detection algorithm with varied filter size using integral image. Filter based target detection is widely used for small target detection, but it doesn't suit for large target detection depending on the filter size. When there are multi-scale targets on the sky background, detection filter with small filter size can not detect the whole shape of the large targe. In contrast, detection filter with large filter size doesn't suit for small target detection, but also it requires a large amount of processing time. The proposed algorithm integrates the filtering results of varied filter size for the detection of small and large targets. The proposed algorithm has good performance for both small and large target detection. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm requires a less processing time, since it use the integral image to make the mean images with different filter sizes for subtraction between the original image and the respective mean image. In addition, we propose the implementation of real-time embedded system using FPGA.

Adaptive digital filtering and noise cancelling technique using a tree structured filter bank are presented to reduce a undesirable aliasing due to the decimation of filtered output and improve the performance in terms of mean-square error and the convergence speed using a aliasing canceller. A signal is split into two subband by analysis filter bank and decimated by decimator and reconstructed by interpolation technique and synthesis filter bank. A variable step-size LMS algorithm is used to improve the convergence speed in case of existing the measurement noise in desired input of filter. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed subband structure in this paper is superior to conventional subband filter structure in terms of mean-square error and convergence speed.

This paper presents a subband affine projection algorithm with variable step size to improve convergence performance in adaptive filtering applications with long adaptive filters and highly correlated input signals. The proposed algorithm can obtain fast convergence speed and small steady-state error by using different step sizes for each adaptive sub-filter in the subband structure to which polyphase decomposition and noble identity are applied. The step size derived to minimize the mean square error of the adaptive filter at each update time shows better convergence performance than the existing algorithm using a variable step size. In order to confirm the convergence performance of the proposed algorithm, which is superior to the existing algorithm, computer simulations are performed for mean square deviation(MSD) for AR(1) and AR(2) colored input signals considering the system identification model.

In this study, SiC whiskers were grown on a porous SiC diesel particulate filter for nanoparticle filtering. To grow the whiskers at the inner pore without closing the pores, we used chemical vapor infiltration with a solution source and a dilute. As the deposition time increased, the whiskers grew and formed a network structure. After 180 min of deposition, the mean diameter of the whiskers was 174 nm and the compressive strength was 58.4 MPa. The pores shrank from $10{\mu}m\;to\;0.4{\mu}m$ and, because the whiskers filed the inner pores, the gradient of permeability decreased as the deposition time increased. However, by using the network structure of whiskers deposited for 120 min and 180 min, we obtained a diesel particulate filter with pores of $0.98{\mu}m\;and\;0.4{\mu}m$, respectively. Furthermore, the filter shows better permeability than a porous body with pores of $1{\mu}m$. In short, by filtering the nanoparticulate materials, the network structure of whiskers improves the strength, reduces the pore size and minimizes the permeability drop.

토양수분량은 수문연구에 있어 중요한 인자 중의 하나이며, 그 필요성이 점차 강조되고 있다. 국내에서도 최근 새로운 관측기기의 도입이나 수자원위성의 개발 등에 관한 연구가 점차 활발하게 이뤄지고 있으나, 토양수분량 자료의 생산, 품질관리 및 배포 시스템에 관한 연구 및 개발이 부족한 실정이다. 반면에 해외에서는 International Soil Moisture Network(ISMN)을 통해 토양수분량 자료의 품질관리 및 배포가 활발하게 이루어지고 있는데, ISMN에서는 토양특성, 강우에 대한 반응, 토양온도, 시계열특성을 이용해 토양수분량 관측 자료를 품질관리 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ISMN의 spike 검출 알고리즘에서 그래프 평활화(smoothing)를 위해 이용되는 Savitzky-Golay 필터의 window size와 polynomial order(filter order)를 다양하게 변화시키고, 이를 설마천 관측소에서 측정한 토양수분량 원시자료에 적용하여 window size와 polynomial order별로 편의(bias), 변동(variation), 평균 제곱근 오차(Root Mean Square Error, RMSE)를 산정하였다. 통계산정 결과 원시자료와의 bias는 window size가 3이고 polynomial order가 2인 필터를 적용했을 때 가장 작은 것으로 나타났으며, variance는 window size가 3이고 polynomial order가 2인 필터를 이용했을 때가 원시자료와 가장 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, RMSE는 window size가 5이고 polynomial order가 3일 때 가장 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 추후 토양수분량 품질관리를 수행하기 위해 적절한 필터 계수 값을 제시할 수 있는 논문으로 사료된다.

The mean shift algorithm has achieved considerable success in object tracking due to its simplicity and robustness. It finds local minima of a similarity measure between the color histograms or kernel density estimates of the target and candidate image. However, it is sensitive to the noises due to objects or background having similar color distributions. In addition, occlusion by another object often causes a face region to change in size and position although a face region is a critical clue to perform face recognition or compute face orientation. We assume that depth and color are effective to separate a face from a background and a face from objects, respectively. From the assumption we devised a bilateral filter using color and depth and incorporate it into the mean-shift algorithm. We demonstrated the proposed method by some experiments.

In signal processing applications with highly correlated input signals, subband affine projection algorithm and step size controlling is a good solution for improving the slow convergence rate and large computational complexity of LMS-type algorithms. This paper proposes a subband affine projection algorithm using a variable step size. The proposed method achieves fast convergence rate and small steady-state error with a small computational complexity by combining the SAP and step size controlling in a subband structure. Experimental results on highly correlated input signal show that the proposed method is superior to the conventional methods.

We propose the robust PBFLMS in noises, which is the enhanced acoustic echo canceller using ACPBF-LMS(Alternative Constrained Partitioned Block Frequency domain Least Mean Square) algorithm. The defect of the block structure filtering is the deterioration of convergence efficiency from noise and interference. To improve the performance of convergence efficiency, noise effect should be reduced. The new method of reducing noise effect is proposed, which apply the estimated background noise to adaptive filter step size. By experiments, the proposed acoustic echo canceller has TCL of 50dB, and always provides faster convergence speed and lower complexity than the full-tap NLMS. We also carried out an implementation of PBFLMS using ARM9EJ-S.
