디지털 영상이 멀티미디어의 핵심 매체로 자리를 잡게 되면서 영상의 열화요인을 제거하여 원래의 품질에 가깝게 개선하는 영상 복원기술의 활용분야가 더욱 늘어나고 있다. 그러나 영상복원을 수행할 때 영상의 열화(degradation)가 선형공간불변이라고 가정하기 때문에 주파수영역에서 영상복원을 수행하면 그 결과 에지와 같이 밝기값의 변화가 큰 영역 주변에서 물결현상(ringing)이 나타나는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 물결현상 제거를 위해 새로운 적응적 후처리 필터링 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 웨이블릿 변환을 사용하여 영상을 해석하고 에지 맵을 추출하고 영역을 나누어 에지영역과 물결현상을 검출한 후 이를 쌍방향필터(bilateral filter)를 이용해 제거한다. 실험결과를 통해서 제안하는 방법이 효과적으로 물결현상을 제거하는 동시에 중요한 에지를 보존할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

The knock characteristics in an engine were investigated under homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) operation. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)and gasoline were used as fuels and injected at the intake port using port fuel injection equipment. Di-methyl ether (DME) was used as an ignition promoter and was injected directly into the cylinder near compression top dead center (TDC). A commercial variable valve timing device was used to control the volumetric efficiency and the amount of internal residual gas. Different intake valve timingsand fuel injection amounts were tested to verify the knock characteristics of the HCCI engine. The ringing intensity (RI) was used to define the intensity of knock according to the operating conditions. The RI of the LPG HCCI engine was lower than that of the gasoline HCCI engine at every experimental condition. The indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) dropped when the RI was over 0.5 MW/m2and the maximum combustion pressure was over 6.5MPa. There was no significant relationship between RI and fuel type. The RI can be predicted by the crank angle degree (CAD) at 50 CA. Carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions were minimized at high RI conditions. The shortest burn duration under low RI was effective in achieving low HC and CO emissions.

A multi-zone model was used to predict the operating range of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine, the boundaries of the operating range were determined by knock (presented by ring intensity), misfire (presented by sensitivity of indicated mean effective pressure to the initial temperature). A HCCI engine fueled with Di-Methyl Ether (DME) was simulated under different initial temperature and equivalence ratios, and the operating range was well produced by the model. Furthermore, the model was applied to develop the operating range for thermal stratification in the preceding condition of initial temperature and equivalence ratios. The computations were conducted using Senkin application of the CHEMKINII kinetics rate code.

블록기반의 이산여현변환 압축 표준을 사용하는 저 비트율 압축 영상과 동영상에서 발생하는 블록킹 현상과 링잉 현상은 화질 열화의 주된 원인으로 지적되고 있다. 블록킹 현상과 링잉 현상은 블록 경계와 에지 경계에서 원 영상에 없던 고주파 성분이 나타나는 현상이므로 저역통과 필터를 적용하면 제거할 수 있다. 그러나 단순히 저역통과 필터를 적용하면 원 영상에 존재하는 에지와 같은 고주파 성분도 제거되어 또 다른 화질 열화 및 번짐 현상을 야기하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 주변 화소의 밝기 유사성에 기반한 가중치를 계산하고, 가우시안 저역 통과 필터의 계수에 이 가중치를 곱하여 필터링하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법은 PSNR 측면에서 0.4~0.76dB 정도의 향상을 얻었을 뿐만 아니라, 주관적 화질면에서도 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In B-scan data measured by a pulse-type monostatic borehole radar, target signatures are seriously obscured by two clutters that differ in orientation and intensity. The primary clutter appears as a nearly constant time delay, which is caused by internal ringing between antenna and transceiver in the radar system. The secondary clutter occurs as an oblique time delay due to the guided borehole wave along the logging cable of the radar antenna. This issue led us to perform adaptive filtering processing for orientation-based clutter removal. This letter describes adaptive filtering processing consisting of a combination of edge detection, data rotation, and eigenimage filtering. We show that the hyperbolic signatures of a dormant air-filled tunnel target can be more distinctly enhanced by applying the proposed approach to the B-scan data, which are measured in a well-suited test site for underground tunnel detection.

The operating range of HCCI engine is narrow due to excessive rate of pressure rise on high load. The fuel stratification is proposed to solve the problem. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the effects of fuel stratification on reducing the pressure-rise rate at high load in HCCI combustion and to investigate that the operating range is expanded for fuel stratification in the preceding condition of initial temperature and equivalence ratios. The engine is fueled with Di-Methyl Ether (DME) which has unique 2-stage heat release. The computations were conducted using SENKIN application of the CHEMKINll kinetics rate code. Calculation result shows that proper fuel stratification prolongs combustion duration and reduce pressure rise rate.

The HCCI engine is a next generation engine, with high efficiency and low emissions. The engine may be an alternative to SI and DI engines; however, a pressure rise rate is a major limitation for high load range and power reduction. Recently, we were able to reduce the pressure rise rate using thermal stratification. Nevertheless, this was insufficient to produce high power. In this study, the reduction of the pressure rise rate using thermal stratification was confirmed and the HCCI engine power was increased using the boost pressure. The rate and engine power were produced by CHEMKIN and modified SENKIN. As a result of increasing the boost pressure, a higher IMEP was attained while the pressure rise rate increased only slightly in the HCCI with thermal stratification.

The HCCI engine is a next generation engine, with high efficiency and low emissions. The engine may be an alternative to SI and DI engines; however, HCCI's operating range is limited by an excessive rate of pressure rise during combustion and the resulting engine knock in high-load. The purpose of this study was to gain a understanding of the effect of only initial temperature and thermal stratification for reducing the pressure-rise rate in HCCI combustion. And we confirmed characteristics of combustion, knocking and emissions. The engine was fueled with Di-Methyl Ether. The computations were conducted using both a single-zone model and a multi-zone model by CHEMKIN and modified SENKIN.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the effects of fuel stratification on reducing the pressure-rise rate at high load in HCCI combustion. It was found that fuel stratification offers good potential to achieve a staged combustion event and reduced pressure-rise rates. The engine is fueled with Di-Methyl Ether (DME) which has unique 2-stage heat release. Numerical analysis is conducted with single and multi-zones model and detailed chemical reaction scheme is done by chemkin and senkin. Calculation result shows that proper fuel stratification prolongs combustion duration and reduce pressure rise rate. Besides IMEP, combustion efficiency and indicated thermal efficiency keep constant. However, too wide fuel stratification increases pressure rise rate and CO and NOx emissions in exhaust gas.

The combustion and exhaust emissions characteristics of a liquefied petroleum gas-di-methyl ether compression ignition engine with a variable valve timing device were investigated under various liquefied petroleum gas injection timing conditions. Liquefied petroleum gas was used as the main fuel and was injected directly into the combustion chamber. Di-methyl ether was used as an ignition promoter and was injected into the intake port. Different liquefied petroleum gas injection timings were tested to verify the effects of the mixture homogeneity on the combustion and exhaust emission characteristics of the liquefied petroleum gas-di-methyl ether compression ignition engine. The average charge temperature was calculated to analyze the emission formation. The ringing intensity was used for analysis of knock characteristics. The combustion and exhaust emission characteristics differed significantly depending on the liquefied petroleum gas injection and intake valve open timings. The CO emission increased as the intake valve open and liquefied petroleum gas injection timings were retarded. However, the particulate matter emission decreased and the nitrogen oxide emission increased as the intake valve open timing was retarded in the diffusion combustion regime. Finally, the combustion efficiency decreased as the intake valve open and liquefied petroleum gas injection timings were retarded.
