대부분의 이미지 센서로 촬영된 영상 정보는 데이터의 저장 혹은 전송 과정에서 외부 잡음이 유입되며, 그로 인하여 원 영상의 훼손이 발생한다. 노이즈 리덕션 (Noise Reduction, NR)은 이러한 훼손된 영상을 원 영상에 가깝도록 복원하는 기법의 하나이다. 본 논문은 기존에 제안하였던 모디파이드 시그마 필터 (Modified Sigma Filter, MSF)를 이용한 노이즈 리덕션의 성능을 검증하기 위한 것으로, 가우시안 필터 (Gaussian Filter, GF)와 로컬 시그마 필터 (Local Sigma Filter, LSF)를 이용한 노이즈 리덕션과의 성능을 비교하였다. 입력영상에 임의의 가우시안 노이즈를 추가하여 테스트 영상을 생성하였으며, PSNR 수치 비교를 통하여 세 가지 필터를 이용한 노이즈 리덕션의 성능을 비교하였다. PSNR뿐 아니라 시뮬레이션 결과 영상의 1D plot을 통하여, 평탄 영역의 노이즈 제거 기능뿐 아니라 윤곽선영역의 훼손 방지에 있어서 모디파이드 시그마 필터를 이용한 노이즈 리덕션의 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

The multiple targets tracking problem has been one of the main issues in the radar applications area in the last decade. Besides the standard Kalman filtering, various methods including the variable dimen-sion filter, input estimation filter, interacting multiple model(IMM) filter, dederated variable dimension filter with input estimation, etc., have proposed to address the tracking and sensor fusion issues. In this pa- per, two existing tracking algorithm, i.e, the IMM filter and the variable dimension filter with input estima-tion(VDIE), are combined for the purpose of improving the tracking performance for maneuvering targets. 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 IMM filter as well as the standard IMM filter. The smaller RMS tracking errors, in position and velocity, of the modified IMM filter than the standard IMM filter are demonstrated though computer simulations.

This paper presents about multi-rate sensors' synchronization and filter fusion via a sigmoid function of the Kalman filter. To synchronize multi-rate sensors, the estimation states of the Kalman filter is modified. A specific matrix that makes the filter choose sensor values only updated is multiplied to measurement matrix. For the filter that has weak points on some criteria, filter fusion is suggested by using sigmoid function. Modified kalman filter is tested with practical case. A sigmoid function was designed for the test and the performance of the modified function is estimated with respect to conventional Kalman filter. Unscented Kalman filter is used to the base filter of the suggested filter because of its stability.

The mixture of bentonite powder and water is generally used to maintain the stability of excavation surface during the construction of vertical cutoff walls. The filter cake on the sidewall surface is the result of filtration of slurry into the adjacent soil formation. The filter cake is believed to have a very low hydraulic conductivity compared to that of the cutoff wall. This paper evaluates hydraulic conductivities of bentonite filter cakes set up with three types of bentonites under various pressure levels. A modified fluid loss test was employed in this experiment. Theory of filtration process was reviewed to explain the procedure in the present experiment. Hydraulic conductivity of the filter cakes with consideration of the filter medium resistance was evaluated. The results of the experiment with two calculation methods and discussion are presented to show the efficiency of the modified fluid loss test.

We propose a novel spatial multi-band-stop filter using modified multiple loop array elements to block electromagnetic waves or signals of mobile phones in public facilities. It operates at the following frequency bands: Korean cellular (824 MHz to 894 MHz), Personal Communication Service (PCS) (1.75 GHz to 1.87 GHz), and IMT-2000 (1.92 GHz to 2.17 GHz). Two frequency selective surfaces with modified multiple-loop elements are printed on the top and bottom of a pair-glass pane, which is a pair of glass panes with an air gap between them. A modified multiple-loop element with a meander line is used to make the size of the filter compact. The simulated and measured results show good agreement, which confirms the usefulness of the proposed tri-band spatial filter.

A RF tunable bandpass filter using dielectric resonators and varactor diodes is redesigned to improve the passband flatness. Since the tunable liters are generally of narrow bandwidth and the Q value of the varactor diode is usually very low, the passband flatness is strongly deteriorated by sizeable distortion loss. To remedy this problem, we construct modified Chebyshev type filter by use of network synthesis techniques. The key of modified Chebyshev type filter is the rearrangement of the passband poles to improve the passband flatness. To maintain the constant passband bandwidth, design techniques of input/output stage and coupling windows are also applied. Experimental results show that the passband flatness can be improved by purposed method without any additional RF amplitude equalizer.

The modified Wiener filtering method is proposed for effective noise suppression in edge region of images corrupted by additive white gaussian noise. Although the pixels classified as a edge region in the conventional Wiener filter have lots of noise components, the conventional Wiener filler cannot remove noise effectively due to the preserving of edges. To reduce noise well in edge region, we modify filter coefficients of the conventional Wiener filter The modified filter coefficients increase in noise suppression effect In edge region, while they preserve edges for strong edge region. From simulation $(256{\time}256$ size, 256 graylevel images) filtered images by the proposed method show much improved subjective image quality with some improved peak signal-to-noise ratio compared to those by the conventional Wiener filtering.

본 논문에서는 필터의 손실이나 크기의 증가 없이 저지 대역을 현저히 화장시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 저역 통과 필터는 기존에 발표된 변형된 일반화된 체비셰프(MU: Modified Generalized Chebyshev)저역 통과 필터와 외형상 소자의 구성이 유사하지만 필터의 소자값이 서로 완전히 다르다. 기존의 MGC 필터는 두 번째 감쇠극만을 고조파 제거(또는 억제)에 사용했지만, 반면에 제안한 필터는 두 번째 감쇠극뿐만 아니라 첫 번째 감쇠극의 3차 고조파를 적절히 이용함으로서 저지 대역 특성이 기존의 MGC 필터보다 우수하다. 제안한 이론에 따라 저역 통과 필터를 제작하였고, 제작된 필터의 측정으로부터 제안된 필터는 저지 대역폭이 전형적인 GC(Generalized Chevbyshev)필터에 비해 4배 이상, 기존의 MGC 필터보다 1.7배 이상의 넓은 범위에 이름을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, a new class of bandpass filter using a modified Chebyshev lowpass filter function is described. The prosposed bandpass filter which exhibits diminishing ripples in the passband has maximum value at the center frequency. Due to the lower pole-Q, the performance in the frequency and time domains is improved as compared with the classical Chebyshev bandpass filter.
