오랫동안 최소 제곱법에 바탕을 둔 선형 신호복원 방식이 연구되어 널리 쓰여 왔다. 그러나, 선형복원 방식은 실제로 처리해야 할 신호에 적합하지 않을 때가 자주 있다. 이러한 문제점을 풀기 위하여 비선형 신호복원 방식이 제안되었고, 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 이 논문에서는 신호처리에 자주 쓰이는 여러 비선형 여파기들의 전반적인 성질을 간략히 되살펴 본다.

Classical deconvolution methods for source identification following linear filtering can only be used if the transfer function of the system is known. For many practical situations, however, this information is not accessible and/or is time varying. The problem addressed here is that of reconstruction of the original input from only the measured signal. This is known as 'blind deconvolution'. By using Higher Order Statistics (HOS), the restoration of the input signal is established through the maximisation of higher order moments (cumulants) with respect to the characteristics of the signals concerned. This restoration is achieved by constructing an inverse filter considering the choice of the initial inverse filter type. As a practical application, an experimental verification is carried out for the restoration of our impacting signal arising in the response of a cantilever beam with an end stop when randomly excited.

An important signal processing problem in PVDF sensor is the restoration of surface information from electric sensing signals. The objectives of this research are to design a new texture sensing system and to develop a new signal processing algorithm for signals from the sensor to be tangibly displayed by tangible interface systems. The texture sensing system is designed to get surface information with high resolution and dynamic range. First, a PVDF sensor is made of piezoelectric polymer (polyvinylidene fluoride) strips molded in a silicon rubber and attached in a rigid cylinder body. The sensor is mounted to a scanning system for dynamic sensing. Secondly, a new signal processing algorithm is developed to restore surface information. The algorithm consists of the two-dimensional modeling of the sensor using an identification method and inverse filtering from sensing signals into estimated surface information. Finally the two-dimensional surface information can be experimentally reconstructed from sensing signals using the developed signal processing algorithm.

Images are often corrupted by noises during signal acquisition and transmission. Among those noises, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and impulse noise are most representative. For different types of noise have different characters, how to remove them separately from degraded image is one of the most fundamental problems. Thus, a modified image restoration algorithm is proposed in this paper, which can not only remove impulse noise of random values, but also remove the AWGN selectively. The noise detection step is by calculating the intensity difference and the spatial distance between pixels in a mask. To divide two different noises, the method is based on three weighted parameters. And the weighted parameters in the filtering mask depend on spatial distances, positions of impulse noise and standard deviation of AWGN. We also use the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to evaluate restoration performance, and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than conventional median-type filters, in preserving edge details.

본 논문에서는 카오스 신호를 이용하여 음성신호의 보안전송을 위한 아날로그 비화통신 시스템을 제안하고 통신성능을 분석하였다. 기존의 카오스 동기화 및 카오스 변조통신 알고리즘을 개선하여 통신환경에서 발생하는 다양한 조건들을 적용하여 음성신호의 복원능력을 모의실험 하였다. 일반적인 PC(Pecora ＆ Carroll) 제어기법과 제안한 SFB(Self-FeedBack) 마스킹 기법을 사용하여 송신단에서 음성신호를 카오스 신호로 마스킹하여 변조하고, 통신채널에 잡음신호를 추가하여 전송하였다. 수신단에서는 카오스 응답시스템을 이용하여 음성신호를 복조하고, 복원성능을 계산하기 위하여 아날로그 복원 에러 신호의 평균전력을 제안하여 계산하였다. 실험결과 마스킹 정도, 파라미터들의 민감성, 채널잡음 등에 대하여 PC 제어기법보다 피드백 제어기법의 복원성능이 우수함을 정량적인 데이터로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 로렌쯔 카오스 비화통신시스템에 사용할 경우 파라미터들의 조합으로 암호키를 구성해야 하므로 파라미터 변화율에 대응하는 복원에러율의 관계를 모의실험 값으로 구하였다.

This paper describes a method to estimate the noise power using the minimum statistics approach, which was originally proposed for audio processing. The proposed minimum statistics-based method separates a noisy image into multiple frequency bands using the three-level discrete wavelet transform. By assuming that the output of the high-pass filter contains both signal detail and noise, the proposed algorithm extracts the region of pure noise from the high frequency band using an appropriate threshold. The region of pure noise, which is free from the signal detail part and the DC component, is well suited for minimum statistics condition, where the noise power can be extracted easily. The proposed algorithm reduces the computational load significantly through the use of a simple processing architecture without iteration with an estimation accuracy greater than 90% for strong noise at 0 to 40dB SNR of the input image. Furthermore, the well restored image can be obtained using the estimated noise power information in parametric image restoration algorithms, such as the classical parametric Wiener or ForWaRD image restoration filters. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the noise power accurately, and is particularly suitable for fast, low-cost image restoration or enhancement applications.

이 논문에서는 중복된 웨이블렛 변환영역에서 다중척도 정칙화를 이용한 새로운 영상복원방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 중복된 웨이블렛 변환을 이용하여 단일척도 영상복원문제를 다중척도의 영상복원문제로 변환한 후에, 각 척도에 의존하는 정칙화 방법을 이용하여 각 척도별로 영상복원을 하고 그 결과를 중복 웨이블렛 역변환을 통해 최종적인 영상복원을 얻는 방법이다. 제안된 방법은 웨이블렛 관련 복원부분에서는 다소 적은 정칙화 계수를 적용하여 뚜렷한 경계를 복원하는 반면, 적은 정칙화 계수에 적용한 것에 의해 발생하는 잡음은 웨이블렛 축소법을 이용하여 제거하였다. 제안된 방법의 향상된 영상복원 성능은 전통적인 Wiener 필터링과의 비교실험을 통해 검증하였다.

Background and Objectives: Top-down restoration of distorted speech, tapped as phonemic restoration of speech in noise, maybe a useful tool to understand robustness of perception in adverse listening situations. However, the relationship between phonemic restoration and speech perception in noise is not empirically clear. Subjects and Methods: 20 adults (40-55 years) with normal audiometric findings were part of the study. Sentence perception in noise performance was studied with various signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) to estimate the SNR with 50% score. Performance was also measured for sentences interrupted with silence and for those interrupted by speech noise at -10, -5, 0, and 5 dB SNRs. The performance score in the noise interruption condition was subtracted by quiet interruption condition to determine the phonemic restoration magnitude. Results: Fairly robust improvements in speech intelligibility was found when the sentences were interrupted with speech noise instead of silence. Improvement with increasing noise levels was non-monotonic and reached a maximum at -10 dB SNR. Significant correlation between speech perception in noise performance and phonemic restoration of sentences interrupted with -10 dB SNR speech noise was found. Conclusions: It is possible that perception of speech in noise is associated with top-down processing of speech, tapped as phonemic restoration of interrupted speech. More research with a larger sample size is indicated since the restoration is affected by the type of speech material and noise used, age, working memory, and linguistic proficiency, and has a large individual variability.
