Most signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation techniques in digital communication channels derive the SNR estimates solely from samples of the received signal after the matched filter. They are based on symbol SNR and assume perfect synchronization and intersymbol interference (ISI)-free symbols. In severe channel distortion where ISI is significant, the performance of these estimators badly deteriorates. We propose an SNR estimator which can operate on data samples collected at the front-end of a receiver or at the input to the decision device. This will relax the restrictions over channel distortions and help extend the application of SNR estimators beyond system monitoring. The proposed estimator uses the characteristics of the second order moments of the additive white Gaussian noise digital communication channel and a linear predictor based on the modified-covariance algorithm in estimating the SNR value. The performance of the proposed technique is investigated and compared with other in-service SNR estimators in digital communication channels. The simulated performance is also compared to the Cram$\acute{e}$r-Rao bound as derived at the input of the decision circuit.

This paper introduces a new energy function, as maximum a posteriori(MAP) estimate of binocular disparity, that can deal with both random dot stereo-gram(RDS) and natural scenes. The energy function uses phase-magnitude as features to detect only the shift for a pair of corrupted conjugate images. Also we adopted Fleet singularity that effectively detects unstable areas of image plant and thus eliminates in advance error-prone stereo mathcing. The multi-scale concept is applied to the multi laser architecture that can search the solutions systematically from coarse to fine details and thereby avoids drastically the local minima. Using mean field approximation, we obtained a compact representation that is suitable for fast computation. In this manner, the energy function satisfies major natural constraints and requirements for implementing parallel relaxation. As an experiment, the proposed algorithm is applied to RDS and natural stereo images. As a result we will see that it reveals good performance in terms of recognition errors, parallel implementation, and noise characteristics.

본 논문에서는 비디오 영상을 입력 했을 때 특징점 추적을 통한 다수 영상의 고속 스트칭 기법을 제안한다. 빠른 속도로 특징점 추출을 위해서 FAST(Features from Accelerated Segment Test) 기법을 사용한다. 특징점 정합과정은 기존의 방법과는 다른 새로운 방법을 제안한다. Mean shift 를 통해 특징점이 포함된 영역을 추적하여 벡터(vector)를 구한다. 이 벡터를 사용하여 추출한 특징점들을 정합하는데 사용한다. 마지막으로 이상점(outlier)을 제거하기 위해 RANSAC(RANdom Sample Consensus) 기법을 사용한다. 입력된 두 영상의 호모그래피(homography) 변환 행렬을 구하여 하나의 파노라마 영상을 생성한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존의 기법보다 속도가 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

A touchless user interface system is proposed for real-time mobile devices in this work. The proposed system first recognizes the position of pattern to interact various applications based on the scene taken from mobile camera. Then, the proposed system traces the route of the pattern, which estimates the motion of pattern based on the mean-shift method. Based on this information, we control menu and keypad for the various applications. Differ from other user interface systems, the proposed system provides the new experience to even for the user of low-end mobile without additional hardware. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides better interaction performances than the conventional method, while achieving real-time user interacting for mobile devices.

영상에서 경계선의 추출의 저수준 영상 처리에서 매우 중요하다. 하지만 대다수의 경계선 추출 방법들은 노이즈들의 영역이 많기 때문에 효율적이지 못하고 영상이 서로 다르기 때문에 유연하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제 해결을 위하여 우선 노이즈 감소 단계를 제시한다. 그리고 점진적인 변화 폭의 히스토그램과 내부 클래스 최소 변이상의 양쪽 임계값들을 자동으로 선택하도록 한다.

In this paper, the new control algorithm is proposed that compensates instantaneously the active and reactive components of the input currents by the synchronous d,q axis conversion of a single-phase current in controlling the single-phase AC/DC parallel converters for a high speed train. The leakage inductance of a transformer was used as a boost inductance and the ripple of a transformer's primary current was reduced considerably by the parallel operation of the two converters with a proper switching phase-shift. The stable and fast control response characteristic is certificated by a simulation.

In this study, a planar respiratory motion is modeled by a 2-D linear expanding-shrinking movement. According to the introduced model, respiratory motion imposes phase error, non-uniform sampling and amplitude modulation distortions on the acquired MRI data. When the motion parameters are known or can be estimated, a construction algorithm based on superposition method was used to remove the MRI artifact. For the purpose of estimating unknown motion parameters, we used the spectrum shift method to find the respiratory fluctuation function, the x directional expansion coefficient and its center, and we also used the minimum energy method to find the y directional expansion coefficient and its center. Finally the effectiveness of this presented method is shown by computer simulations.

Precision displacement of less than a few nm resolution was measured in real-time using fiber optic EFPI sensor. The novel method for real-time processing of analyzing EFPI output signal was developed and verified. Linearity in the mean values of interferometric light intensity among adjacent fringes was shown and verified the sinusoidal approximation algorithm that estimates past and coming fringe values. Real-time signal processing program was developed and the intensity signal of the EFPI sensor was transformed to the phase shift with this program. The resolution below $0.36{\sim}8.6$ nm in the displacement range of $0{\sim}300{\mu}m$ was obtained. The nano-positioner with a piezoelectric actuator and the EFPI sensor system was designed and tested. The positioner successfully reached to the desired destination within 1 nm accuracy.

The objective of this paper is to design the controller for longitudinal vehicle following which makes the vehicle follow the lead vehicle and keeps a safety distance without human driver operation. This paper presents a sliding mode control algorithm for the ACC system. The controller is based on three sliding surfaces. Each surface plays an individual control-deviation control, throttle control and brake control. In addition to sliding mode control, we propose some additional schemes to enhance controller performance. The first one is a gear shift-down controller which makes tractive force increase with a change of gear ratio. The other is a predictive correction method which reduces slinky effect.

This paper proposes methods for improving mass spectral resolution for a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer. The slope signs of the 1st and 2nd fitting functions for the ion signal block of each mass index are obtained, and the unnecessary element signals in the ion signal block are removed. The spectrum can be obtained by obtaining the second-order fitting function of the reconstructed ion signal block using only the effective ion signals. In addition, the resolution of the mass spectrum can be improved by correcting the error caused by the shift of the spectral peak position. To verify the performance of the proposed methods, computer simulations were performed using the actual ion signals obtained from the GC-MS system under development. Simulation results show that the proposed method is valid.
