In this paper, a modified Chebyshev low-pass filter function is proposed. The modified Chebyshev filter function exhibits ripples diminishing toward .omega. = 0 in the passband. So, the modified filter function is realizable in the passive doubly-terminated ladder network for the order n even or odd, thus lending itself amenable to active RC or switched capacitor filters through the simulation techniques. Besides the passive doubly-terminated ladder realizability, lower pole-Q values of the modified function are accountable for improved phase and delay characteristics, as compared to classical function. We have designed the 6th order passive doubly-terminated network using the modified function. And then a continuous-time DDA(Differential Difference Amplifier) filter, which has no matching requirement, is realized by leap-frog simulation technique for fabrication. In the HSPICE simulation results, we confirmed that the designed continuous-time DDA filter characteristics are agreement with the passive filter.

In this paper, a low-power CIC(U Integrator Comb) filter bank structure is proposed for wireless communication systems. Since conventional CIC filter can not meet the desired center frequencies in each channel of filter banks, we developed a Modified CIC Filter(MCF) for those purpose.

In this study, we intended to design the optimal Fermi filter to apply the k-space date that is knee image of the rheumatoid arthritis patient acquired from the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) instrument. After deciding the suitable coefficient for the Fermi filter, the results were compared with modified Fermi filter and inverse Chebyshev filter, Chebyshev filter, Elliptic filter and Butterworth filter. Firstly, in comparison to the results, the radiologist confirmed that modified Fermi filter was best decision for boundary of the rheumatoid arthritis images. The number of the black voxels of the histogram showed the quantity of the results. At the proposed filter images, numbers of the blacks voxels were statistically decreased. That meant voxels only appeared the black color were changed to others voxels color. Because the number of the total voxels was fixed, the area appeared block color could be effected to the other areas. If the modified Fermi filter were used for rheumatoid arthritis patient, the result will be better than other filters.

In this paper, an error compensation technique for a dead reckoning (DR) system using a magnetic compass module is proposed. The magnetic compass-based azimuth may include a bias that varies with location due to the surrounding magnetic sources. In this paper, the DR system is integrated with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver using a finite impulse response (FIR) filter to reduce errors. This filter can estimate the varying bias more effectively than the conventional Kalman filter, which has an infinite impulse response structure. Moreover, the conventional receding horizon Kalman FIR (RHKF) filter is modified for application in nonlinear systems and to compensate the drawbacks of the RHKF filter. The modified RHKF filter is a novel RHKF filter scheme for nonlinear dynamics. The inverse covariance form of the linearized Kalman filter is combined with a receding horizon FIR strategy. This filter is then combined with an extended Kalman filter to enhance the convergence characteristics of the FIR filter. Also, the receding interval is extended to reduce the computational burden. The performance of the proposed DR/GPS integrated system using the modified RHKF filter is evaluated through simulation.

The multiple targets tracking problem has been one of main issues in the radar applications area in the last decade. Besides the standard Kalman filtering, various methods including the variable dimension filter, input estimation filter, interacting multiple model (IMM) filter, federated variable dimension filter with input estimation, probable data association (PDA) filter etc. have been proposed to address the tracking and sensor fusion issues. In this paper, two existing tracking algorithms, i.e. the IMMPDA filter and the variable dimension filter with input estimation (VDIE), are combined for the purpose of improving the tracking performance of maneuvering targets in clutter. To evaluate the tracking performance of the proposed algorithm, three typical maneuvering patterns i.e. Waver, Pop-Up, and High-Diver motions, are defined and are applied to the modified IMMPDA filter considered as well as the standard IMM filter. The smaller RMS tracking errors, in position and velocity, of the modified IMMPDA filter than the standard IMM filter are demonstrated through computer simulations.

In this paper, low-power heart beat detection algorithm and structure is proposed. The proposed detection algorithm utilizes filter banks to display a specific beat per minute(BPM) from the heart beat signals. Since general filter banks need a lot of computation to calculate a BPM, we propose the filter banks structure using modified CIC(Cascaded Integrator Comb) filters. It is shown that the proposed modified CIC filter banks algorithm can display the BPM from the heart beat signals precisely and efficiently.

We presents a modified variable dimension filter with input estimation for maneuvering target tracking. The conventional variable dimension filter with input estimation(VDIE) consists of the input estimation(IE) technique and the variable dimension(VD) filter. In the VDIE, the IE technique is used for estimation of a maneuver onset time and its magnitude in the least square sense. The detection of the maneuver is declared according to the estimated magnitude of the maneuver. The VD filter structure is applied for the adaptation to the maneuver of the target after compensating the filter parameter with respect to the estimated maneuver when the detection of the maneuver is declared. The VDIE is known as one of the best maneuvering target tracking filter based on a single filter. However, it requires too much computational burden since the IE technique is performed at every sampling instance and thus it is computationally inefficient. We propose another variable dimension filter with input estimation named 'Modified VDIE' which combines VD filter with If technique. Modified VDIE has less computational load than the original one by separating maneuver detection and input estimation. Simulation results show that the proposed VDIE is more efficient and outperforms in terms of computational load.

To improve the understanding of infiltration characteristic of modified slurry and the support efficiency of filter cake in silty sand strata, the slurry infiltration (SI) and filter cake formation (FCF) were investigated in a laboratory apparatus. The water discharge and the excess pore pressure at different depths of silty sand strata were measured during SI. The relationship between permeability coefficient/thickness ratio of filter cake (k_c/ΔL) and effective slurry pressure conversion rate of filter cake (η) were analyzed. Moreover, the SI and FCF process as well as the modification mechanism of CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) were clarified. The experimental results indicate the formation of only external filter cake in the silty sand strata. The slurry particles obtain thicker water membrane after being modified by CMC, which blocks partial water path in filter cake and decreases the water discharge significantly. The silty sand excavated from tunnel face also contributes to the water discharge reduction. The k_c of the external filter cake ranges from 3.83×10^-8 cm/s to 7.44×10^-8 cm/s. The η of the external filter cake is over 96%, which decreases with increasing k_c/ΔL. A silty sand content within 10% is suggested during construction to ensure the uniformity of the filter cake.

변조전달함수(MTF; Modulation Transfer Function)는 광학영상의 성능을 평가하는 중요한 품질 요소 중 하나이다. 영상의 MTF 증진을 위해 영상 복원이 필요하나, 이 과정은 대표적인 부적합문제(ill-posed problem)의 하나로 특정한 해를 갖지 않는다. 영상 복원을 위한 필터에는 역 필터(IF; Inverse Filter), 의사 역 필터(PIF; Pseudo Inverse Filter), Wiener Filter(WF) 등이 있다. 이들 중 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 WF는 촬영된 영상 내에서 영상과 잡음을 정확히 구분하기 어렵다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Modified Wiener Filter(MWF)를 사용하여 부적절 문제를 풀 수 있도록 문제를 정규화 하였으며, 정규화 변수(regularization parameter)의 값을 찾기 위한 방법으로 L-곡선(L-curve)을 사용하였다. MWF의 검증을 위해 Dubaisat-1 위성의 영상을 의사 역 필터(PIF), Wiener Filter(WF), MWF로 영상 복원을 수행하였다. 복원 결과, MWF를 사용했을 때가 PIF를 사용했을 때의 결과에 비해 20.93%, WF를 사용했을 때의 결과에 비해 10.85% 더 향상된 MTF를 얻을 수 있었다.

The enhancement of fingerprint image is necessary to improve the performance of fingerprint recognition. The enhancement of fingerprint image with Gabor Filter(GF) is widely used. However GF has the weakness such as long processing time and the sensitivity to ridge frequency. To overcome these weaknesses, we propose a Modified Anisotropic Gaussian Filter(MAGF) which is modified from Anisotropic Filter proposed by S. Greenburg's(SAF). This proposed MAGF can reduce the calculation time of ridge frequency and improve the weakness of sensitivity to ridge frequency. We also explained that MAGF is better than others mathematically and experimentally.
