The biomechanical interaction between the stump and the prosthetic socket is critically important to achieve close-to-normal ambulation. Many investigators suggested that the pressure changes during gait of transfemoral amputees are closely related to the prosthetic alignment, the socket shape, the stump size, and the residual muscle activity. The effects of the prosthetic alignment, the socket shape, and the stump size on the interface pressure were investigated previously. However, there is no report how the residual muscle activities in the transfemoral stump affect the socket interface pressure characteristics during gait. Since designs of socket fur lower limb amputees need to consider the socket interface pressure characteristics, the interface pressure patterns by the residual muscle activities during gait should be investigated. In this study, myoelectric signals (MES) and socket interface pressure in residual limb of transfemoral amputees were measured during the stance and swing phases of gait. For the purpose, specially designed quadrilateral sockets that MES electrodes could be instrumented were fabricated. A total of two transfemoral amputees were participated in the experiments. The measured temporal MES amplitude and interface pressure in knee flexor (biceps femoris) and extensor (rectus femoris) had significant correlations (P ＜ 0.05). Based on the test results, It was suggested that the residual muscle activity of transfemoral amputees stump is an important factor affecting socket pressure changes during walk.

In the scalable extension of H.264/AVC, the codec is based on a layered approach to enable spatial scalability. In each layer, the basic concepts of motion compensated prediction and intra prediction are employed as in standard H.264/AVC. Additionally inter-layer prediction algorithm between successive spatial layers is applied to remove redundancy. In the inter-layer prediction, as the prediction we can use the signal that is the upsampled signal of the lower resolution layer. In this case, coding efficiency can be variable as the kinds of interpolation filter. In this paper, we investigate the approach to select the interpolation filter for residual signal in order to optimal prediction.

This paper describes an algorithm to suppress composite noise in a two-microphone speech enhancement system for robust hands-free speech communication. The proposed algorithm has four stages. The first stage estimates the power spectral density of the residual stationary noise, which is based on the detection of nonstationary signal-dominant time-frequency bins (TFBs) at the generalized sidelobe canceller output. Second, speech-dominant TFBs are identified among the previously detected nonstationary signal-dominant TFBs, and power spectral densities of speech and residual nonstationary noise are estimated. In the final stage, the bin-wise output signal-to-noise ratio is obtained with these power estimates and a Wiener post-filter is constructed to attenuate the residual noise. Compared to the conventional beamforming and post-filter algorithms, the proposed speech enhancement algorithm shows significant performance improvement in terms of perceptual evaluation of speech quality.

본 논문에서는 크게 계산량이 증가하지 않으면서 음향 반향 제거기의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 잡음에 강건한 적응 알고리즘과 후처리기를 제안한다. 제안하는 적응 알고리즘은 기준 입력신호와 마이크 입력신호의 전력 합으로 적응 상수를 정규화 한다. 근단화자의 음성신호나 주변 잡음이 마이크로 입력되면 그 전력만큼 적응 상수가 작아지기 때문에 이들 주변 잡음에 의한 계수 오조정을 줄일 수 있다. 잔여 반향을 제거하기 위해서 잡음에 강건한 알고리즘과 연동하는 새로운 후처리 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 후처리 방법은 마이크 입력신호와 추정 오차신호의 상관도를 활용한다. 잔여 반향은 마이크 입력신호의 전력으로 정규화된 상관도에 의해서 감쇠되어 제거한다. 정규화 상관도는 잔여 반향에 대해서 Wiener 필터 역할을 한다. 동시 통화시에는 추정 오차신호에는 근단화자의 음성신호가 대부분을 차지함으로 정규화 상관도는 거의 1이 되어 근단화자의 음성신호는 감쇠없이 전송된다. 반향 신호만 있을 때에는 잔여 반향은 후처리기에 의해서 대부분 감쇠되어 제거된다. 제안하는 후처리기를 이용한 음향 반향 제거기의 계산량은 NLMS 알고리즘에 비해서 크게 증가하지 않는다.

In this paper a three-phase secure compressive sensing (CS) and received signal strength (RSS) based target localization approach is proposed to mitigate the effect of malicious node attack. RSS measurements are first arranged into a group of subsets where the same measurement can be included in multiple subsets. Intermediate target position estimates are then produced using individual subsets of RSS measurements and the CS technique. From the intermediate position estimates, the residual error vector and residual error square vector are formed. The least median of residual error square is utilized to define a verifier parameter. The selected residual error vector is utilized along with a threshold to determine whether a node or measurement is under attack. The final target positions are estimated by using only the attack-free measurements and the CS technique. Further, theoretical analysis is performed for parameter selection and computational complexity evaluation. Extensive simulation studies are carried out to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed CS-based secure localization approach over the existing algorithms.

This paper presents a modified residual-based EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) for performance improvement of indoor positioning using WiFi RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) measurement. Radio signal strength in indoor environments may have irregular attenuation characteristics due to obstacles such as walls, furniture, etc. Therefore, the performance of the RSSI-based positioning with the conventional trilateration method or Kalman filter is insufficient to provide location-based accurate information services. In order to enhance the performance of indoor positioning, in this paper, error analysis of the distance calculated by using the WiFi RSSI measurement is performed based on the radio propagation model. Then, an IARM (Irregularly Attenuated RSSI Measurement) error is defined. Also, it shows that the IARM error is included in the residual of the positioning filter. The IARM error is always positive. So, it is presented that the IARM error can be estimated by taking the absolute value of the residual. Consequently, accurate positioning can be achieved based on the IEM (IARM Error Mitigated) EKF with the residual modified by using the estimated IARM error. The performance of the presented IEM EKF is verified experimentally.

This paper deals with a fault detection system design for uncertain nonlinear systems modelled as T-S fuzzy systems with the integral quadratic constraints. In order to generate a residual signal, we used a left coprime factorization of the T-S fuzzy system. From the filtered signal of the residual generator, the fault occurence can be detected effectively. A simulation study with nuclear steam generator level control system shows that the suggested method can be applied to detect the fault in actual applications.

We present an improved 4800 bps LPC vocoder system that virtually eleminates the buzzy effect from synthetic speech. Excitation signal in the new system is formed by adding high-pass filtered pitch pulses or random noise to a baseband residual signal that has been coded by pitch predictive PCM. Since the baseband residual is used as a part of excitation, the system is also robust to V/UV and pitch errors. According to our informal listening tests, the synthetic speech of the new system does not have the buzzy effect. As a result the vocoder speech quality is more natural than that of a conventioinal LPC vocoder.

본 논문은 QAM 신호의 전송시 비선형 통신 채널에서 발생되는 부호간 간섭을 최소화시켜 Qos를 개선할 수 있는 블라인드 등화 알고리즘인 CM-MMA (Constellation Matching-MMA)와 RMMA (Region-based MMA)의 성능 비교에 관한 것이다. 적응을 위한 탭 계수 갱신에서 CM-MMA는 기존 MMA 비용 함수에 sinusoidal power function의 constellation matching error 항을 부가되어 nonconstant modulus 신호의 오차를 이용하며, RMMA는 nonconstant modulus 등화기 출력 constellation을 4-QAM의 constant modulus 신호로 변환한 후 오차를 이용하게 된다. 이와 같은 오차 신호에 의해 이들은 상이한 적응 성능을 가지므로, 논문에서는 이들 알고리즘의 적응 등화 성능을 비교하며 이를 위하여 등화기 출력 성상도, 잔류 isi, 최대 찌그러짐과 SER을 적용하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 RMMA가 CM-MMA 보다 수렴 속도, 잔여량 및 잡음 강인성의 모든 성능에서 우월함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 MMA 적응 등화 알고리즘의 연산량을 간략화시킨 DSE-MMA (Dithered Signed-Error MMA)와 QE-MMA (Quantized-Error MMA) 의 적응 등화 성능을 비교하였다. DSE-MMA 알고리즘에서는 적응 등화기의 탭 계수 갱신을 위한 오차 신호와의 승산 부분에서 극성만을 고려하며 dithered signal을 이용하여 잡음에 대한 robustness를 개선하지만, QE-MMA 알고리즘에서는 오차 신호의 비선형 power-of-two 양자화 연산을 수행한 후 이의 극성만을 이용하므로 H/W 응용을 쉽게 한다. 이들 알고리즘을 동일 채널의 환경에 적용하여 등화기 출력 신호 성상도, 수렴 특성을 나타내는 잔류 isi, 최대 찌그러짐과 MSE 및 알고리즘의 외부 잡음에 대한 강인성을 나타내는 SER을 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 SER의 제외한 나머지 성능에서 QE-MMA가 DSE-MMA보다 우월하며, SER에서는 dither 신호에 의하여 DSE-MMA가 우월함을 알 수 있었다.
