Ultrasonic pulse echo method comes to be difficult to apply to the multi-layered structure with very thin layer, because the echoes from the top and the bottom of the layer are overlapped. Conventionally method, deconvolution technique has been used for the decomposition of overlapped UT signals, however it has disabilities when the waveform of the transmitted signal is distorted according to the propagation. In this paper, the wavelet transform based deconvolution (WTBD) technique is proposed as a new signal processing method that can decompose the overlapped echo signals in A-Scan signal with superior performances compared to the conventional deconvolution technique. Performances of the proposed method are shown by through computer simulations using model signal with noise and are demonstrated by through experiments for the fabricated acryl rod with a thin steel plate bonded to it.

This paper presents an improved version of the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) for the modal evaluation of structural systems or signals. In this improved HHT, a well-designed bandpass filter is used as preprocessing to separate and determine each mode of the signal for solving the inherent modemixing problem in HHT (i.e., empirical mode decomposition, EMD, associated with the Hilbert transform). A screening process is then applied to remove undesired intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) derived from the EMD of the signal's mode. A "best" IMF is selected in each screening process that utilizes the orthogonalization coefficient between the signal's mode and its IMFs. Through mode-by-mode signal filtering, parameters such as the modal frequency can be evaluated accurately when compared to the theoretical value. Time history of the identified modal frequency is available. Numerical results prove the efficiency of the proposed approach, showing relative errors 1.40%, 2.06%, and 1.46%, respectively, for the test cases of a benchmark structure in the lab, a simulated time-varying structural system, and of a linear superimposed cosine waves.

In this paper, a good fault location algorithm will be presented, which uses novel signal processing techniques and takes a new paradigm to overcome some drawbacks of the conventional methods. The main feature of the method is that it uses the high frequency components in fault signal and considers the influence of the source network by using a traveling wave concept.

Recently efficient image coding using zerotree have been proposed. In these methods, the locations of nonzero wavelet coefficient are encoded with a tree structure, called zerotree, which can exploit the self-similarity of the wavelet pyramid decomposition across different scales. These are very especially in low bit rate image coding. In this paper, two zerotree image coding algorithm, EZW and SPHIT are briefly introduced, and a new zerotree searching scheme is proposed to emphasize the significance of a wavelet coefficient by its orientation as well as its scale.

This paper presents a nonlinear least squares decision feedback equalizer Bilinear systems are attractive because of the ability to approximate a large class of nonlinear systems efficiently. The nonlinearity of channel is modeled using a bilinear system. The algorithms are derived by using the QR decomposition for minimization covariance matrix of prediction error by applying Givens rotation to the bilinear model. Result of computer simulation experiments that compare the performance of the bilinear DFE to two other DFE's in eliminating the intersymbol interference caused by a nonlinear channel are presented In the paper.

음악 장르는 음악 검색 및 분류 등의 정보 처리 시스템 구현에 있어서 필수적인 요소이다. 일반적으로 장르 분류를 위한 스펙트럼 특징은 음악의 화음 및 강약 구조를 표현하기 위해 부밴드로 분해하여 구해진다. 본 논문은 음악 장르 분류 성능 개선을 위한 특징 추출을 위한 부밴드 분해 방법에 관해 연구하였다. 또한 부밴드 음악 특징의 차수를 줄일 수 있는 방법에 대해서도 연구하였다. 널리 사용되고 있는 장르 데이터셋들에서 실험을 수행하여 널리 사용되고 있는 옥타브 스케일보다 세분화된 부밴드 분해가 장르 분류 성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 특징 차수 축소를 결합하여 분류기의 계산량도 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 호모모프변환과 다중 스케일 분해를 이용하여 영상의 생동폭과 명암대비를 모두 개선시킬 수 있는 영상향상기법을 제안한다. 원 영상은 로그를 취하여 호모모프영역으로 변환하고, 이를 다중 스케일로 분해한 후 각 대역에 가중치를 가해 조합한다. 이 조합된 신호는 지수를 취하여 밝기영역으로 변환한다. 호모모프영역에서 저주파대역의 크기조절은 생동폭을 변환시키고, 고주파대역의 크기조절은 명암대비의 향상에 기여한다. 다중 스케일 분해는 계산이 간단하고 효율적인 구조를 가진 "${\AA}$ trous" 알고리듬을 사용하며, 이의 타당성은 시뮬레이션을 통해서 확인한다.

본 논문에서는 음성 신호 시간축 분할의 새로운 기법으로, 비트율과 왜곡을 함께 고려한 기법이 제안되었다. 시간축 분할에 필요한 보간 함수는 학습 음성 데이터로부터 얻어진다. 보간 함수는 두 타겟간의 길이에 따라 유일하게 결정되므로 보간 함수는 추가 정보없이 표현된다. 타겟 샘플은 비트율을 최소화시키면서 동시에 최대 스펙트럼 오차가 문턱 치보다 작게 되도록 선택하였다. 제안된 기법은 음성 부호화기의 스펙트럼 변수로 널리 사용되는 LSP계수의 부호화에 적용되었으며, 모의실험 결과 평균적으로 8 bits/Frame의 비트율에서 1.4 dB의 스펙트럼 왜곡이 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of electroacupuncture(EA) at the PC6 (Naegwan) on normal humans using KarhunenLoeve decomposition method. Electroencephalogram(EEG) is a multi-scaled signal consisting of several components of time series with different dominant frequency ranges and different origins. EEG KarhunenLoeve decomposition method exibit site-specific and state-related differences in specific frequency bands. In this study, KarhunenLoeve decomposition method was used as a measure(D2) of complexity. 30 channel EEG study was carried out in 10 subjects (10 males; $age=21.4{\pm}0.5$ years). Results : We found that the average values and standard deviations of D2 at FP1, FP2, FTC1, FTC2, TT1, TT2, T4, TCP1, P3, P4, T6, OZ channel (p<0.05) were higher than during the acupuncture treatment, and the average values and standard deviations of D2 at F3, F8 channels(p<0.05) were lowered than during the acupuncture treatment. However, the comparison with that before and after the treatment shows no significant differences in all channels.

Although radar target signatures(RTS), such as range profiles have played an important role for target recognition in the X-band radar, they would be less effective when a target is designed to have low radar cross section(RCS). Recently, a number of research groups have conducted the studies on the RTS in the VHF-band where such targets can be better detected than in the X-band. However, there is a lack of work carried out on the mathematical description of the VHF-band RTS. In this paper, chirplet decomposition is employed for modeling of the VHF-band RTS and its performance is compared with that of existing scattering center model generally used for the X-band. In addition, the discriminative signal analysis is performed by chirplet parameterization of range profiles from in an ISAR image. Because the chirplet decomposition takes long computation time, its fast form is further proposed for enhanced practicality.
