In this paper, enhancement of speech corrupted by additive white or colored noise is stuided. The nuconstrained frequency-domain block least-mean-square (UFBLMS) adaptation algorithm and its frequency-weighted version are newly applied to speech enhancement. For enhancement of speech degraded by white noise, the performance of the UFBLMS algorithm is superior to the spectral subtraction method or Wiener filtering technique by more than 3 dB in segmented frequency-weighted signal-to-noise ratio(FWSNERSEG) when SNR of speech is in the range of 0 to 10 dB. As for enhancement of noisy speech corrupted by colored noise, the UFBLMS algorithm is superior to that of the spectral subtraction method by about 3 to 5 dB in FWSNRSEG. Also, it yields better performance by about 2 dB in FWSNR and FWSNRSEG than that of time-domain least-mean-square (TLMS) adaptive prediction filter(APF). In view of the computational complexity and performance improvement in speech quality and intelligibility, the frequency-weighted UFBLMS algorithm appears to yield the best performance among various algorithms in enhancing noisy speech corrupted by white or colored noise.

신호 주입 센서리스 구동 시, 인버터의 비선형성으로 인한 주입 전압 왜곡현상은 전류 신호 정보의 SNR을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 이로 인하여 회전자 위치를 추정하는 과정에서 오차가 발생하는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 인버터의 비선형성이 주입 전압에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 전류 신호 정보의 SNR을 개선하기 위하여 고주파 전류 맥동의 크기를 일정하게 제어하는 주입 전압을 인가하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여, 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증하였다.

영상압축 방법인 ITU-T H.263 부호화 기법에 비해 H.263에서의 주요 특징 중 하나는 에러 강인성으로, 그중에서 계층부호화 모드는 한 개의 송신 영상에 대해서도 부호기와 전송로에 따라 여러 가지 화질의 재생 영상을 얻을 수 있는 기능, 즉 에러 및 패킷 손실 발생 가능 채널에서 비디오 정보 전송시 디코더측에서 사용 가능한 다양한 비트율, 해상도, 디스플레이 율을 허용함으로써 비디오 정보에 대한 전송을 향상시키는 기법이다. 계층부호화 에러은닉기법은 기본계층에 대해서는 QoS 보장에 의해 무손실 전송이 가능하므로 모든 프레임에 애러가 발생할 수 있는 단일계층 에러은닉보다 고급계층에서 이용할 수 있는 정보가 더 많다는 점에서 더 유리한 이점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SNR 계층부호화된 고급계층에 대해서 이용 가능한 데이터 손실이 없는 기본계층과 고급계층에 상관관계를 분석하여 계층형부호화에 맞는 에러은닉기법을 제시한다.

In the non-destructive evaluation techniques using ultrasonic signal, backscattering noise from grain interface decreases the SNR of received signal. In this paper, SSP(split-spectrum processing) based on the constant FBR decomposition method has been applied to enhance the SNR. This algorithm helps to find optimal parameters of filter bank through a simple theory and has an advantage that reduce the signal processing time compared with the conventional constant bandwidth decomposition method. In this experiment, the 304 stainless steel sample is heat-treated and received ultrasonic signal is processed by SSP using the constand bandwidth decomposition method and the constand FBR decomposition method enhanced the SNR by 1.4 dB and reduced the required number of filters by 4 compared with the constant bandwidth decomposition method.

In this thesis, the trellis detection scheme is proposed to improve the error performance of the noncoherent detection in the TFM system. Trellis detection takes advantage of the trellis property of TFM-encoded signals. The trellis property is created by giving correlations among adjacent TFM-encoded signals at the transmitter. The performance of the trellis detection scheme is analyzed by means of the Bernoulli trials with the average symbol error probability, and is compared to that of the bit-by-bit detection scheme. As a result,when the SNR is below 20 dB in the Rayleigh fading and AWGN channel, the trellis detection is inferior to the bit-by-bit detections. But when SNR is above 20 dB, the trellis detection is superior to the bit-by-bit detection, and its performance enhancement is better as the SNR increases.

In this paper we derive a new VAD algorithm, which combines the preprocessing algorithm and the optimum decision rule. To improve the performance of the VAD algorithm we employ the speech enhancement algorithm and then apply the maximal ratio combining technique in the preprocessing procedure, which leads to maximized output SNR. Moreover, we also perform extensive computer simulations to demonstrate the performance improvement of the proposed algorithm under various background noise environments.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimal flip angle by measuring the SNR and CNR according to the angle of changes of the MRI technique using the Image J program. A total of 30 normal volunteers were assessed by using a 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging system (Philips, Medical System, Achieva). For the MRI angiography, we set the region of interest in four regions and evaluated the SNR and CNR. The statistical significance of SNR and CNR was calculated by one-way ANOVA using quantitative analysis at five different positions. The Bonferroni method was used for post-hoc analyzes. Statistical significance was determined by using ANOVA analysis at p<0.05 and Bonferroni method was used as a post-hoc analysis. The results of this study, the measurement values of ACA(SNR:$876.59{\pm}14.22$, CNR:$1999.7{\pm}12.5$), PCA(SNR:$863.48{\pm}13.29$, CNR:$1870.18{\pm}12.56$), ICA(SNR:$1116.87{\pm}08.34$, CNR:$2979.37{\pm}14.69$) and MCA(SNR:$848.66{\pm}15.25$, CNR:$2199.25{\pm}13.48$) were obtained with the high signal intensity at $25^{\circ}$(p<0.05). The values of a1, a2, a3, p1, p2, p3, m1, m2 and m3 were also the same (p<0.05). Post-hoc analysis results, There was a statistically significant difference (p=0.000) between $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$ on the $25^{\circ}$ reference for the flip angle, but no significant results were obtained with $30^{\circ}$(p<0.05). In concision, because the signal intensity decreased at $30^{\circ}$, this study revealed that the optimal flip angles were $25^{\circ}$ in cerebrovascular MR angiography.

One of the problems on the application of the speech recognition system in the real world is the degradation of the performance by acoustical distortions. The most important source of acoustical distortion is the additive noise. This paper describes a spectral compensation technique based on a spectral peak enhancement scheme followed by an efficient noise subtraction scheme for noise robust speech recognition. The proposed methods emphasize the formant structure and compensate the spectral tilt of the speech spectrum while maintaining broad-bandwidth spectral components. The recognition experiments was conducted using noisy speech corrupted by white Gaussian noise, car noise, babble noise or subway noise. The new technique reduced the average error rate slightly under high SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) environment, and significantly reduced the average error rate by 1/2 under low SNR(10 dB) environment when compared with the case of without spectral compensations.

A new stereoscopic codec. structure using MPEG-2 multiview profile is presented in this paper. In the suggested codec., the left image is coded with motion estimation in the base layer and the right image is coded with disparity estimation in the enhancement layer. Since it is possible to calculate rough motion of the right image sequence with disparity and motion of the left image sequence, motion compensation of the enhancement layer is performed without motion estimation. To apply this mathod to MVP codec., the prediction mode of base layer and enhancement layer is restricted, and B picture mode in the base layer is removed. Since the proposed codec. does not perform motion estimation in the enhancement layer encoding and prediction mode of base layer is restricted, it's structure is simple and reduces the encoding time. We compared the SNR of encoded image with three different structured codec., and the experimental results show suggested codec. have comparable result.
