Traditionally one convex cost function for each generation is assumed in economic power dispatch. However, it is more realistic to represent the cost function as a piecewise quadratic function rather than one convex function. This paper presents evolutionary algorithm approaches to solve the problems of economic power dispatch with quadratic cost functions and piecewise quadratic cost functions. To improve GA, EP and ES characteristics. optimization methods combining GA with ES and EP with ES are proposed. The results for the proposed algorithms are compared with those of numerical method and show the better solutions in the ELD problem.

본 연구에서는 고립단어 인식시스템에 사용되고 있는 DTW(DynamicTimeWarping) 알고리즘의 계산량을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 고립단어 인식시 가장 인식률이 좋은 알고리즘은 DW라고 알려져 있으나, 인식대상어휘가 늘어나면 계산량이 비례해서 늘어나고 인식률이 저하되는 단점이 있으므로 일반적으로 200단어 이하의 어휘에만 사용되고 있다. 따라서 대상어휘를 감소시켜 계산량을 줄이기 위해 본 논문에서는 유성/무성/묵음 (V/U/S) 정보를 이용하여 코드워드를 구성하고 같은 코드워드에 해당되는 단어들을 추출해이들 만을 비교대상 어휘로 제한하므로서 DW 알고리즘을 적용할 대상 어휘수를 줄이는 방법을 사용하여 계산 속도를 향상시켰다 또한 입력 단어와 대상 단어와의 누적거리 계산 시 끝점 정보 뿐 만 아니라 유성/무성/묵음 경계 정보를 이용하여 piecewise DTW를 구현함으로서 탐색 영역을 축소함으로써 추가적인 계산량 감소가 가능하다. 따라서 상기 기법들을 이용하면 PC상에서도 DTW를 이용한 대어휘 고립단어 음성 인식기의 구현이 가능할 것이다.

The stereo system based on local matching is very popular due to its algorithmic simplicity, however it is limited to apply to various applications because it shows poor quality with low matching rates. In this paper, we propose and design a realtime stereo system based on an adaptive support-weight and the system shows low error rates and realtime performance. Generally, in the adaptive support-weight algorithm the intermediate computing results can not be reused to reduce the number of computations. In this research we modify the scheduling to reuse the intermediate results for the better performance by processing rows and columns separately. The nonlinear functions such as exponential or arc tangent have been designed with piecewise linear and step functions by empirical simulations and error analysis. The proposed architecture is composed of 9 processing elements for realtime performance. The proposed stereo system has been designed and synthesized using Donbu Hitek 0.18um standard cell library and can run up to 350Mhz operation frequency (33 frames per second) with 424K gates.

A correct and accurate model of optical data storage systems is very important in development and performance evaluation of various data detection algorithms. In this paper, we present an nonlinear modeling scheme of a super-resolution near-field structure (Super-RENS) read-out signal using the canonical piecewise-linear (PWL) and the second-order Volterra models. Nonlinear equalizers may be developed on the basis of the information obtained from this nonlinear modeling. To mitigate the nonlinear inter-symbol interference (ISI), we proposed a new nonlinear equalizer for Super-RENS discs. Its validity is tested with the RF signal samples obtained from a Super-RENS disc. The experiment results verified the possibility that the canonical PWL and the second-older Volterra models can be utilized for nonlinear modeling of Super-RENS systems. The proposed equalizers are superior to the one without equalization in terms of bit error rate (BER).

The result of imaging segmentation becomes different with the parameters involved in the segmentation algorithms; therefore, the parameters for the optimal segmentation have been found through a try and error. In this paper, we propose the method to find the best values of parameters involved in the area-based active contour method using three-way ANOVA. The segmentation result applied by three-way ANOVA is compared with the optimal segmentation which is drawn by user. We use the global consistency rate for comparing two segmentations. Finally, we estimate the main effects and interactions between each parameter using three-way ANOVA, and then calculate the point and interval estimate to find the best values of three parameters. The proposed method will be a great help to find the optimal parameters before working the motion segmentation using piecewise constant model.

This paper presents online identification algorithm for TSK fuzzy model. The proposed algorithm identify structure of premise part by using distance, and obtain the parameters of the piecewise linear function consisting consequent part by using recursive least square. Only input space was considered in Most researches on structure identification, but input and output space is considered in the proposed algorithm. By doing so, outliers are excluded in clustering effectively. The existing other algorithm has disadvantage that it is sensitive to noise by using data itself as cluster centers. The proposed algorithm is non-sensitive to noise not by using data itself as cluster centers. Model can be obtained through one pass and it is not needed to memorize many data in the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes new simplified sum-product (SSP) decoding algorithm to improve BER performance for low-density parity-check codes. The proposed SSP algorithm can replace multiplications and divisions with additions and subtractions without extra computations. In addition, the proposed SSP algorithm can simplify both the In[tanh(x)] and tanh-1 [exp(x)] by using two quantization tables which can reduce tremendous computational complexity. Moreover, the simulation results show that the proposed SSP algorithm can improve about $0.3\;{\sim}\;0.8\;dB$ of BER performance compared with the existing modified sum-product algorithms.

When consecutive data follows different distributions(depending on the time interval) change-point detection infers where the changes occur first and then finds further inferences for each sub-interval. In this paper, we investigate the Bayesian detection of multiple change points. Utilizing the reversible jump MCMC, we can explore parameter spaces with unknown dimensions. In particular, we consider a model where the signal is a piecewise linear function. For the Bayesian inference, we propose a new Bayesian structure and build our own MCMC algorithm. Through the simulation study and the real data analysis, we verified the performance of our method.

본 논문은 효과적인 열화영상의 복원을 위해 Multiresolution Bilateral Filter (MBF) 기반의 구간적 노이즈 분석을 제안한다. 기존의 MBF 알고리즘은 최적화되지 않은 노이즈 추정 값을 중첩적으로 사용하다보니 over smoothing 현상이 발생되는 결과가 도출되기도 하였다. 이에 따른 보완점으로 열화영상 내 전체 화소를 일정한 블록 단위의 영역으로 나누어, 영상특성을 최대한 보존하며 노이즈제거를 진행하기 위해 블록 단위의 영역 내에서 노이즈 추정을 위한 파라미터를 추가한다. 실험을 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 노이즈 추정을 수행하여 얻어진 노이즈의 분산 값을 보다 정확히 추정하였고, 이로 인하여 향상된 노이즈 제거 영상 획득이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A new polynomial-based predistortion method for linearizing nonlinear power amplifier is proposed. The proposed method finds the predistortion parameter directly without the help of postdistorter whereas most existing polynomial-based predistortion methods calculate the predistortion parameter indirectly from the prostdistorter. First, a new predistortion algorithm is derived based on the assumption that the characteristic of the amplifier is modeled by piecewise linear function. Then it is modified into a proposed method which does not require any assumption or prior knowledge of the amplifier. The proposed method is derived based on the RLS (recursive least squares) algorithm. The proposed technique is simpler to implement than the existing methods and the computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed method is more robust to the initial condition and the saturation region of the amplifier.
