This paper proposes a low-latency Sample Adaptive Offset filter (SAO) architecture and its Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) optimization scheme to achieve fast High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) decoding in a multi-core environment. According to the HEVC standard and its Test Model (HM), SAO operation is performed only at the picture level. Most realtime decoders, however, execute their sub-modules on a Coding Tree Unit (CTU) basis to reduce the latency and memory bandwidth. The proposed low-latency SAO architecture has the following advantages over picture-based SAO: 1) significantly less memory requirements, and 2) low-latency property enabling efficient pipelined multi-core decoding. In addition, SIMD optimization of SAO filtering can reduce the SAO filtering time significantly. The simulation results showed that the proposed low-latency SAO architecture with significantly less memory usage, produces a similar decoding time as a picture-based SAO in single-core decoding. Furthermore, the SIMD optimization scheme reduces the SAO filtering time by approximately 509% and increases the total decoding speed by approximately 7% compared to the existing look-up table approach of HM.

The recent industrial application requires technical methods to get the cutting fluid droplet surfaces in particular from the viewpoint of topography and micro texture. To characterize the surface topography of droplet, the combination of the confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and wavelet filtering is well suited for obtaining the droplet geometry encountered in tribological research. This technique indicates a better agreement in obtaining an appropriate droplet surface obtained by the CLSM over a detail range of surface accuracy (resolution: $2{\mu}m$). And the results allow an excellent accuracy in a measurement of a droplet surface. The combination of extended focal depth measurement configured and multi-scale wavelet filtering has proven that it can construct a droplet surface in a successive and accurate way. A multi-scale approach of wavelet filtering was developed based on the decomposition and reconstruction of droplet surface by 2D wavelet transform using db9 (a mother wavelet of daubechies). Also this technique can be extended to characterize the quantification of droplet properties and other field in a wide range of scales. Finally this method is verified to be a better droplet surface modeling in a micro scale arising in a mist machining.

Internet of Things (IoT) systems process signals from various sensors using signal processing algorithms suitable for the signal characteristics. To analyze complex signals, these systems usually use signal processing algorithms in the frequency domain, such as fast Fourier transform (FFT), filtering, and short-time Fourier transform (STFT). In this study, we propose a multi-mode sensor signal processor (SSP) accelerator with an FFT-based hardware design. The FFT processor in the proposed SSP is designed with a radix-2 single-path delay feedback (R2SDF) pipeline architecture for high-speed operation. Moreover, based on this FFT processor, the proposed SSP can perform filtering and STFT operation. The proposed SSP is implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). By sharing the FFT processor for each algorithm, the required hardware resources are significantly reduced. The proposed SSP is implemented and verified on Xilinxh's Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC ZCU104 with 53,591 look-up tables (LUTs), 71,451 flip-flops (FFs), and 44 digital signal processors (DSPs). The FFT, filtering, and STFT algorithm implementations on the proposed SSP achieve 185x average acceleration.

We presents a new algorithm for tracking person in video sequence that integrates the meanshift iteration procedure into the particle filtering. Utilizing the nice property of convergence to the modes in the meanshift iteration we show that only a few sample points are sufficient, while in general the particle filtering requires a large number of sample points. Multi-parts of a person is tracked independently of each other based on the color Then, the similarity against the reference model color and the geometric constraints between multi-parts are reflected as the sample weights. Also presented is the computer simulation results, which show successful tracking even for complex background clutter.

High dynamic range (HDR) images can present the perfect real scene and rich color information. A commonly encountered problem in practical applications is how to well visualize HDR images on standard display devices. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale decomposition method using guided filtering for HDR image tone mapping. In our algorithm, HDR images are directly decomposed into three layers：base layer, coarse scale detail layer and fine detail layer. We propose an effective function to compress the base layer and the coarse scale detail layer. An adaptive function is also proposed for detail adjustment. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm effectively accomplishes dynamic range compression and maintains good global contrast as well as local contrast. It also presents more image details and keeps high color saturation.

The estimation filter in radar systems must track targets' position within low tracking error. In the Multi-Function Radar(MFR), ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ filter and Kalman filter are widely used to track single or multiple targets. However, due to target maneuvering, these filters may not reduce tracking error, therefore, may lost target tracks. In this paper, a target tracking filter based on particle filtering algorithm is proposed for the MFR. The advantage of this method is that it can track targets within low tracking error while targets maneuver and reduce impoverishment of particles by the proposed resampling method. From the simulation results, the improved tracking performance is obtained by the proposed filtering algorithm.

정보사회가 인터넷의 보급과 더불어 복잡해짐에 따라 데이타베이스의 흐름은 문자나 숫자와 같은 일차원적인 데이타가 아닌 지리정보, 멀티미디어 데이타와 같은 다차원의 데이타를 저장하고 이에 대한 질의를 처리할 수 있는 시스템을 요구하고 있다 따라서, 다차원적인 특성을 지니는 데이타에 대한 효율적 검색을 위한 다차원 인덱싱 구조에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔으며, 그와 동시에 이러한 인덱싱 구조하에서 효율적인 질의 처리를 위한 연구도 병행되고 있다. 다차원 데이타는 그 다양한 응용분야에 따라 요구되는 질의의 형태가 각각 다르므로 이에 대응할 수 있는 알고리즘의 연구가 필요하다. 현재, 많은 다차원 데이타 처리 시스템이 R-트리계열의 인덱싱구조를 근간으로 구성되었으나, 현재까지의 질의처리 기법은 질의처리시에 필터링 특성을 지니지 않으므로, 객체들간의 다차원 거리계산으로 인하여 많은 질의처리 시간을 소요한다. 본 논문에서는 다차원 데이타를 처리하기 위한 R-트리 계열의 다차원 인덱싱 구조에서의 효율적인 질의처리를 위하여 질의처리 대상 객체를 줄이기 위한 필터링 기법을 소개하였다. 필터링을 수행하기 위하여 VP-트리와 MVP-트리에서 사용되었던 VP(Vantage Point)를 이용한다. 먼저, VP 필터링의 개념을 소개하고, VP 필터링을 영역질의와 포인트 질의의 일종인 추가객체요구질의에 각각 적용한 알고리즘을 제시하였다. VP 필터링을 적용하기 위하여 요구되는 삽입 객체와 VP간의 거리계산 시간은 객체의 삽입시 수행되며, 질의 처리를 수행할 때에는 다시 계산되지 않는다. 논문에서는 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 실험을 통하여 증명하였다.

In this paper, we present multi-sensor data fusion for telematics application. Successful telematics can be realized through the integration of navigation and spatial information. The well-determined acquisition of vehicle's position plays a vital role in application service. The development of GPS is used to provide the navigation data, but the performance is limited in areas where poor satellite visibility environment exists. Hence, multi-sensor fusion including IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), GPS(Global Positioning System), and DMI (Distance Measurement Indicator) is required to provide the vehicle's position to service provider and driver behind the wheel. The multi-sensor fusion is implemented via algorithm based on Kalman filtering technique. Navigation accuracy can be enhanced using this filtering approach. For the verification of fusion approach, land vehicle test was performed and the results were discussed. Results showed that the horizontal position errors were suppressed around 1 meter level accuracy under simulated non-GPS availability environment. Under normal GPS environment, the horizontal position errors were under 40㎝ in curve trajectory and 27㎝ in linear trajectory, which are definitely depending on vehicular dynamics.

Multi-mode monopulse system is widely used for satellite terminal like UAV because of high tracking accuracy and low size/weight profile. In order to calculate tracking error, Multi-mode monopulse system utilizes high-order mode signal, and it should have enough C/N(carrier to noise) level therefore tracking system needs narrow band filtering of received satellite beacon signal as much as possible. However, UAV suffers for beacon frequency drift derived from Doppler effect due to satellite figure 8 movement and UAV maneuvering. Therefore wideband signal processing needs to be considered in advance for exact doppler compensation and consequent time delay. In this paper, we propose the multi-stage Digital Signal processing system for beacon signal, which could minimize the signal delay under high Doppler and low C/N condition.

다중선형 회귀분석에 의하여 도출된 알고리즘을 이용하여 필터링 기법을 제시하였고, 제시된 기법을 이용하여 실제 사면지형을 지상 라이다로 스캔하여 취득된 원시자료에 대하여 필터링을 수행한 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 필터링의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 굴곡사면지형의 지성선을 기준으로 관측지역을 두 지역으로 분할하여 필터링을 적용하였을 경우가 사면을 분할하지 않고 필터링을 적용하였을 경우 보다 필터링 정확도가 8.73% 높아진 것으로 나타났다. 또한 굴곡사면 지형에서 사면을 분할하여 복합 필터링을 적용한 경우 전역 필터링이나 지역 필터링만 수행했을 때보다 약 5~7% 정확도가 높아진 것으로 보아 사면에 굴곡이 존재하여 경사가 일정하지 않은 경우 사면을 분할하여 복합 필터링을 수행하는 것이 더 효과적이라고 판단된다.
