This paper reviews recent published works dealing with the application of wavelets to image processing based on multiresolution analysis. After revisiting the basics of wavelet transform theory, various applications of wavelets and multiresolution analysis are reviewed, including image denoising, image enhancement, super-resolution, and image compression. In addition, we introduce the concept and theory of quaternion wavelets for the future advancement of wavelet transform and quaternion multiresolution applications.

This paper deals with the comparisons of methodologies to express finite rotations accounting for analysis of the rotor system. Researches have been made to predict a behavior of its rotational motion by introducing Euler angles which turned out to be lack in consistency and exactness of the analysis. To overcome this deficiency a new methodology is applied by using both spherical coordinate and quaternion in the rotor rotation and shows its superiority over choices of the Euler angle in terms of kinetic energy and rotation velocity. It is found through numerical examples that quaternion is a more useful and valid tool to derive the ideal numerical model of the rotor system.

A new transfer alignment algorithm using the velocity and the quaternion partial matching methods is proposed to reduce the effect of a ship's Y-axis flexure on the performance of azimuth error estimation of Kalman filter. The simulation results show that it can significantly reduce the effect of Y-axis flexure on error estimation by the transfer alignment algorithm. As its results, azimuth transfer alignment error is reached up to 3 mrad under proper roll and pitch attitude motion of the ship.

Kalman filter based spacecraft attitude estimation has been used in many space missions and has been widely discussed in literature. While some models in spacecraft attitude estimation include spacecraft dynamics, most do not. To our best knowledge, there is no comparison on which model is a better choice. In this paper, we discuss the reasons why spacecraft dynamics should be considered in the Kalman filter based spacecraft attitude estimation problem. We also propose a reduced quaternion spacecraft dynamics model which admits additive noise. Geometry of the reduced quaternion model and the additive noise are discussed. This treatment is easier in computation than the one with full quaternion. Simulations are conducted to verify our claims.

This article presents techniques for improved estimation of symbol timing offset (STO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) for dual-polarization (DP) orthogonal frequency division multiplex (DP-OFDM) systems. Recently, quaternion multiple-input multiple-output OFDM has been proposed for high spectral efficiency communication systems, which can flexibly explore different types of diversities such as space, time, frequency, and polarization. This article focuses on synchronization techniques for DP-OFDM systems using a cyclic prefix, where the application of quaternion algebra leads to new improved estimators. Simulations performed for DP system methods show faster reduction of STO estimator variance with a double-slope line in the logvariance line versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) plot compared with singlepolarization (SP) counterparts, and simulations for CFO estimates show a 3-dB gain of DP over SP estimates for same SNR values defined, respectively, for quaternion-valued or complex-valued signals. Cramer-Rao bounds for STO and CFO are derived for the synchronization methods, correlating with the observed gains of DP over SP OFDM systems.

A sliding mode control of spacecraft attitude tracking with actuator, especially reaction wheel, is presented. The sliding mode controller is derived based on quaternion parameterization for the kinematic equations of motion. The reaction wheel dynamic equations represented by wheel input voltage are presented. The input voltage to wheel is calculated from the sliding mode controller and reaction wheel dynamics. The global asymptotic stability is shown using a Lyapunov analysis. In addition the robustness analysis is performed for nonlinear system with parameter variations and disturbances. It is shown that the controller ensures control objectives for the spacecraft with reaction wheels.

In this paper, according to the classical LSQR algorithm forsolving least squares (LS) problem, an iterative method is proposed for finding the minimum-norm pure imaginary solution of the quaternionic least squares (QLS) problem. By means of real representation of quaternion matrix, the QLS's correspongding vector algorithm is rewrited back to the matrix-form algorthm without Kronecker product and long vectors. Finally, numerical examples are reported that show the favorable numerical properties of the method.

이체 쿼터니언(dual quaternion)은 선형 미분방정식으로 계산하는 쿼터니언을 회전운동과 병진운동을 동시에 취급하는 이체수(dual numbers)체계로 표현한 형태이다. 성능향상을 위해 이체 쿼터니언을 관성항법 알고리즘에 적용시킨 논문이 새로이 소개되었다. 기존 알고리즘과 새로운 알고리즘을 MATLAB으로 시뮬레이터를 작성하였으며, 정확도와 실행 속도 측면에서 성능을 평가하고자 한다.
