In this paper, we propose a new architecture of the fast symbol timing synchronization system which has some shared hardware blocks in order to reduce the hardware complexity. The proposed system consists of received power detector, correlation power detector using shared complex moving adders, and 2-step peak detector. Our system has detected FFT starting point within three Symbols using first two reference symbols of the frame in wireless ATM system. The new architecture was designed and simulated using VHDL. Our proposed architecture also detects a correct symbol timing synchronization within three symbols under a multi-path fading channel.

A nickel layer was deposited onto the PZT thin films, serving both as a selective radiation absorption layer and as a top electrode. The absorption properties of such nickel coated multi-layered infrared detectors were studied in the visible and infrared wavelength ranges. The optimal thickness of the nickel layer on our substrate was 10nm. The maximum absorption coefficient of the deposited 10nm thick nickel layer was 0.7 at a 632nm wavelength. However, a striking asymmetric polarization hysteresis loop was observed in these PZT thin films with nickel as the top electrode. This asymmetric polarization was attributed to the difference between the dynamic pyroelectric responses in these Ni/PZT/Pt films poled either positively or negatively before the measurement. A positively poled film showed a 40% higher voltage response than a negatively poled detector.

This paper describes the design principles and methods of electronic processor for thermal imager with 320$\times$240 staring array infrared detector. For the detector's nonuniformity correction and excellent image quality, we have designed the multi-point correction method using the defocusing technique of the optics. And to enhance the image of low contrast and improve the detection capability, the new technique of histogram processing has been designed. Through these image processing techniques, we have developed the high quality thermal imager and acquired a satisfactory thermal image. The result of MRTD(Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference) is $0.1^{\circ}C$ at 4cycles/mard.

지난 수 년 동안 계속해서 일반 실상 카메라를 이용한 영상분석기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 딥러닝 기술을 적용한 지능형 영상분석기술로 발전해 왔으며 국방기지방호, CCTV, 사용자 얼굴인식, 머신비전, 자동차, 드론 산업이 활성화되면서 많은 시너지를 효과를 일으키고 있다. 그러나 어두운 밤과 안개, 날씨, 연기 등 다양한 여건에서 따라서 카메라의 영상분석 정확성 감소와 오류가 수반될 수 있으며 일반적으로 딥러닝 기술을 활용하기 위해서는 고사양의 GPU를 필요로 하기 때문에 다른 추가적인 시스템이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 열적외선 영상의 객체 검출에 적용하기 위해 SSD(Single Shot MultiBox Detector) 기반의 경량적인 MobilNet 네트워크로 재구성하여, 모바일 기기 등 낮은 사양의 낮은 임베디드 시스템에서도 활용 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 모의 실험결과 제안된 방식의 모델은 적외선 열화상 카메라에서 객체검출과 학습시간이 줄어든 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In order to improve the accuracy of small target detection more effectively, this paper proposes an improved single shot detector (SSD) target detection and recognition method based on cspdarknet53, which introduces lightweight ECA attention mechanism and Feature Pyramid Network (FPN). First, the original SSD backbone network is replaced with cspdarknet53 to enhance the learning ability of the network. Then, a lightweight ECA attention mechanism is added to the basic convolution block to optimize the network. Finally, FPN is used to gradually fuse the multi-scale feature maps used for detection in the SSD from the deep to the shallow layers of the network to improve the positioning accuracy and classification accuracy of the network. Experiments show that the proposed target detection algorithm has better detection accuracy, and it improves the detection accuracy especially for small targets.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate of resolution parameter and reconstitution filter in the 256 multi detector computed tomography(MDCT) by using the head phantom. We used 256 MDCT, and head phantom of philips system. We evaluated to image quality by using Extended Brilliance Workspace. The protocol were axial scan method with 120 kVp, 0.5 sec of rotation time, 5 mm of slice thickness and increment, 250 mm of field of view(FOV), $512{\times}512$ of matrix size, 1.0 of pitch, $128{\times}0.625$ mm of collimations. The resolution parameter was applied for 'Standard', 'High' and 'Ultrahigh'. The reconstitution filters were changed to seven type of 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'UA', 'UB', 'UC'. The assesment factors of image quality were the uniformity, the noise, the linearity and 50% and 10% of the modulation transfer function(MTF). Finally The good image quality in 'High' resolution parameter showed at the uniformity, the linearity and 50% and 10% of MTF. The 'UA', 'UB' reconstitution filter showed at the good image quality of the uniformity and the noise and 'C' reconstitution filter showed at the same result of the linearity and 50% and 10% of MTF.

The purpose of the study was to evaluation of the radiation dose reduction and the possibility of the maintainability of the adequate image quality using various automatic exposure control (AEC) systems in multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). We used three AEC systems for the study: General Electric Healthcare (Auto-mA 3D), Philips Medical systems (DoseRight) and Siemens Medical Solutions (Care Dose 4D). The general scanning protocol was created for the each examination with the same scanning parameters as many as possible. In the various AEC systems, the evaluation of reduced-dose was evaluated by comparing to fixed mAs with using human phantom. The image quality of the phantom was evaluated with measuring the image noise (standard deviation) by insert regions of interests. Finally, when we applied to AEC for three manufacturers, the radiation dose reduction decreased each 35.3% in the Auto-mA 3D, 58.2% in the DoseRight, and 48.6% in the Care Dose 4D. And, there was not statistical significant difference among the image quality in the Strong/Weak of the Care Dose 4D(P=.269). This applies to variety of the AEC systems which will be very useful to reduce the dose and to maintain the high quality.

In this paper, in order to know the effect of the interference, we have analyzed the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of the MUD(Multi-User Detector) employing HIC(Hybrid Interference Cancellation) scheme for the asynchronous WCDMA system based on 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) Spec. through the In this paper, in order to know the effect of the interference, we have analyzed the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of the MUD(Multi-User Detector) employing HIC(Hybrid Interference Cancellation) scheme for the asynchronous WCDMA system based on 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) Spec. through the computer simulation. we have assumed Rayleigh fading channel. And we have compared its BER performance with SIC's(Successive Interference Cancellation) and with PIC's(Parallel Interference Cancellation), which are the representative schemes in the subtractive interference cancellation. From the results, it is shown that PlC or HIC is effective for high data-rate users and SIC of HIC for low data-rate users to eliminate the interference. Regardless of the data rate, it is reasonable to use the HIC structure for WCDMA system to satisfy all of users' services. The reason is that the SIC scheme in front of HIC can guarantee the performance of low power users to cancel the serious interference caused by the high power users, while PIC in the rear of it can guarantee the performance of high power users to cancel the interference caused by the low power users.

Spectrum sensing is a key technical challenge for cognitive radio (CR). It is well known that multi-cycle cyclostationarity (MC) detector is a powerful method for spectrum sensing. However, conventional MC detector is difficult to implement due to its high computational complexity. This paper pays attention to the fact that the computation complexity can be reduced by simplifying the test statistic of conventional MC detector. Based on this simplification process, an improved MC detector is proposed. Compared with the conventional one, the proposed detector has the low-computational complexity and sufficient-accuracy on sensing performance. Subsequently, the sensing performances are further investigated for the cases of Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, Rician, composite Rayleigh fading-lognormal shadowing and composite Nakagami fading-lognormal shadowing channels, respectively. Furthermore, the square-law combining (SLC) is introduced to improve the detection capability over fading-shadowing channels. The corresponding closed-form expressions of average detection probability are derived for each case by the moment generation function (MGF) approach. Finally, illustrative and analytical results show that the efficiency and reliability of proposed detector and the improvement on sensing performance by SLC over composite fading-shadowing channels.
