In this paper, a new bit rate estimation scheme is proposed to determine the bit rate for each subclass in an MPEG-2 TS to H.264/AVC transcoder after dividing an input MPEG-2 TS sequence into several subclasses. Video format transcoding in conventional IPTV and Smart TV services is a time-consuming process since the input sequence should be fully transcoded several times with different bit-rates to decide the bit-rate suitable for a service. The proposed scheme can automatically decide the bit-rate for the transcoded video sequence in those services which can be stored on a video streaming server as small as possible without losing any subject quality loss. In the proposed scheme, an input sequence to the transcoder is sub-classified by hierarchical clustering using a parameter value extracted from each frame. The candidate frames of each subclass are used to estimate the bit rate using a statistical analysis and a mathematical model. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the bit rate by, on an average approximately 52% in low-complexity video and 6% in high-complexity video with negligible degradation in subjective quality.

Windowing routines have as their purpose the reduction of the sidelobes of a spectral output of the FFT or DFT routines. Windowing routines accomplish this by forcing the beginning and end of any sequence to approach each other in value. Since they must work with any sequence they force the beginning and ending samples near zero. To make up for this reduction in power, windowing routines give extra weight to the values near the middle of the sequence. The difference between windows is the way in which they transition from the low weights near the edges to the higher weights neqr the middle of the sequence. Signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) can be determined by the ratio of the output noisy signal variance to the input noisy signal variance of a window. Standard deviation of noise is reduced by windowing. Thus, the windowing operation improved the SNR of the noisy signal. This paper shows a performance estimation of windowing on a single tone with added Gaussian noise and uniform noise.

Three-dimensional video coding is one of the main challenges restricting the widespread applications of 3D video and free viewpoint video. In this paper, a novel fractal coding algorithm with motion-vector-field-based motion estimation for depth map sequence is proposed. We firstly add pre-search restriction to rule the improper domain blocks out of the matching search process so that the number of blocks involved in the search process can be restricted to a smaller size. Some improvements for motion estimation including initial search point prediction, threshold transition condition and early termination condition are made based on the feature of fractal coding. The motion-vector-field-based adaptive hexagon search algorithm on the basis of center-biased distribution characteristics of depth motion vector is proposed to accelerate the search. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reach optimum levels of quality and save the coding time. The PSNR of synthesized view is increased by 0.56 dB with 36.97% bit rate decrease on average compared with H.264 Full Search. And the depth encoding time is saved by up to 66.47%. Moreover, the proposed fractal depth map sequence codec outperforms the recent alternative codecs by improving the H.264/AVC, especially in much bitrate saving and encoding time reduction.

This correspondence presents a recursive estimation algorithm which, unlike conventional ones; updates the estimates only when a sufficient improvement can be obtained with a bounded noise assumption, the resulting sequence of estimates is a sequence of convex sets(ellipsoids) in the parameter space. For the cases studied, the algorithm use less than 20 percent of the. data to update, the estimate and still acquired good accuracy for spectral estimation.

In this paper, we handle automatic estimation of mechanical parameters for mobile robots. Most estimation methods are based on the sequence and move-measurement-estimation. Estimated accuracy is largely dependent on the paths. Mathematical conditions minimizing estimation errors are derived, and then a method finding optimal paths for mechanical parameters estimation is proposed.

선택도 추정 기법은 질의 최적화를 위해 현재 상용 데이터 베이스에서 많이 사용되고 있고 히스토그램은 가장 많이 사용되는 선택도 추정 기법중의 하나이다. 최근에 시공간 데이터 베이스 관련 연구들에서 이러한 선택도 추정 기법이 기존의 시간 공간 데이타베이스 선택도 추정 기법을 확장하여 활발하게 연구되었다. 하지만 기존의 시공간 데이타베이스 선택도 추정 연구는 주로 이동 객체와 같은 시계열 데이타만 고려하였다. 또한 기존의 연구는 과거시점부터 현재 시점까지 시간적 범위 질의에 대한 선택도 추정은 불가능하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시공간 데이타베이스에서 과거 시점에서 현재시점까지 시퀀스 데이타의 시간적 범위 질의를 위한 히스토그램을 구축하고 이를 이용한 효과적인 선택도 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 히스토그램을 이용하면 과거부터 현재까지 시퀀스 데이타의 선택도 추정이 가능하고, 범위시간 선택도 추정 기법이 가능하며 효과적인 히스토그램 유지 기법의 적용이 가능하다.

The best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is most suitable for practical application and can be determined with knowledge of only the first and second moments of the probability density function. Although the BLUE is an existing algorithm, it is still largely unexplored and has not yet been applied to channel estimation in amplify and forward (AF)-based wireless relay networks (WRNs). In this paper, a BLUE-based algorithm is proposed to estimate the overall channel impulse response between the source and destination of AF strategy-based WRNs. Theoretical mean square error (MSE) performance for the BLUE is derived to show the accuracy of the proposed channel estimation algorithm. In addition, the Cram$\acute{e}$r-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is derived to validate the MSE performance. The proposed BLUE channel estimation algorithm approaches the CRLB as the length of the training sequence and number of relays increases. Further, the BLUE performs better than the linear minimum MSE estimator due to the minimum variance characteristic exhibited by the BLUE, which happens to be a function of signal-to-noise ratio.

There are so many methods to estimate the groundwater recharge. These methods can be categorized into four groups. First groupis related to the water balance analysis, second group is concerned with baseflow/springflow recession, and third group is interested in some types of tracers; environmental tracers and/or temperature profile. The limitation of these types of methods is that the estimated results of recharge are presented in the form of an average over some time period. Forth group has a little different approach. They use the time series data of hydraulic head and specific yield evaluated from field test, and the results of estimation are described in the sequential form. But their approach has a serious problem. The estimated results in forth typeof methods are generally underestimated because they cannot consider the discharge phase of water table fluctuation coupled with the recharge phase. Ketchum el. at. (2000) proposed calibrated method, considering recharge- and discharge-coupled water table fluctuation. But the dischargeis considered just as the areal average with discharge rate. On the other hand, there are many methods to estimate the source wavelet with observed data set in geophysics/signal processing and geophysical methods are rarely applied to the estimation of groundwater recharge. The purpose this study is the evaluation of the applicability of one of the geophysical method in the estimation of sequential recharge rate. The applied geophysical method is called minimum entropy deconvolution (MED). For this purpose, numerical modeling with linearized Boussinesq equation was applied. Using the synthesized hydraulic head through the numerical modeling, the relative sequenceof recharge is calculated inversely. Estimated results are very concordant with the applied recharge sequence. Cross-correlations between applied recharge sequence and the estimated results are above 0.985 in all study cases. Through the numerical test, the availability of MED in the estimation of the recharge sequence to groundwater was investigated

본 논문은 M시퀀스 신호를 이용하여 로켓 추진기관의 케이블 결함 위치 추정 기법에 관한 논문이다. 케이블 내부 결함 위치를 추정하기 위해서 다양한 방법이 연구되어왔는데, 이 중에서 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry), FDR(Frequency Domain Reflectometry), TFDR(Time-Frequency Domain Reflectometry) 등이 가장 널리 사용되어 왔다. 이 방법들은 케이블 결함 상태를 진단하기 위해 주로 사용되지만 사용자가 시험환경에 접근하여 수행해야하기 때문에 리스크가 매우 크다. 따라서 시험안전을 확보하고 기존의 방법 대비 동등 이상의 성능을 지니는 M시퀀스 신호를 이용한 케이블 결함 위치 추정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 로켓 추진기관 시험에 사용되고 있는 DAS(Data Acquisition System)를 활용하도록 하고, 주로 물리량 계측에 이용되는 RG-58 케이블을 적용하여 기존의 방법인 TDR, TFDR과 비교하여 성능을 검증하였다. 시험 결과 40 m 이내 근거리 케이블 결함 추정에서는 기존의 방법보다 낮은 오차율을 나타났고, 50 m에서는 기존의 방법과 비슷한 오차율을 확인하였다. 따라서 무기체계에 사용되는 DAS를 활용하고 일반적으로 사용되는 M시퀀스 신호를 응용하여 작업자가 시험환경에 접근하지 않고 안전하게 케이블 결함을 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
