In this paper, we present a new method for early depth test for a 3D rendering engine. We add a filter stage to the rasterizer in the 3D rendering engine, in an attempt to identify and avoid the occluded pixels. This filtering block determines if a pixel is hidden by a certain plane. If a pixel is hidden by the plane, it can be removed. The simulation results show that the filter reduces the number of pixels to the next stage up to 71.7%. As a result, 67% of memory bandwidth is saved with simple extra hardware.

This paper describes a design of pipelined adaptive decision-feedback equalizer (PADFE) for high bit-rate wireless digital communication systems. To enhance the throughput rate of ADFE, two pipeline stages are inserted into the critical path of ADFE by using delayed least-mean-square (DLMS) algorithm. Redundant binary (RB) arithmetic is applied to all the data processing of ADFE including filter laps and coefficient update blocks. When compared with conventional methods based on two's complement arithmetic, the proposed approach reduces arithmetic complexity, as well as results in a very simple complex-valued filter structure, thus suitable for VLSI implementation. The design parameters (filter tap, coefficient and internal bit-width, etc.) and equalization performance (bit error rate, convergence speed, etc.) are analyzed by algorithm-level simulation using COSSAP. The PADFE was designed using VHDL and Synopsys, and mapped into two ALTERA FLEX10k100 FPGAs.

본 논문에서는 간단한 시공간 블록 부호 (STBC)를 적용한 MC-CDMA 시스템에서 상수 모듈러스 (CM) 기반의 블라인드 적응 수신기를 설계하는 방법을 제시한다. 전송 심볼들을 검파하기 위하여 사용되는 여파기 계수 벡터들을 부분 벡터들로 분할하고, CM 메트릭을 최소화시키는 최적의 부분 벡터들 간의 특별한 관계식을 유도한다. 이러한 특별한 관계를 이용하여 변형된 CM 메트릭을 제시한다. 그리고 나서, 변형된 CM 메트릭을 최소화시키는 블라인드 적응형 통계적 변화율 CM 알고리즘 (SG-CMA)을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법의 여파기 계수 벡터들은 유도한 특별한 관계를 만족하는 영역에서만 갱신되기 때문에, 제안하는 블라인드 적응 SG-CMA 기법이 기존의 SG-CMA 기법보다 더 빠른 수렴 속도를 갖는다. 그리고, 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여, 제안하는 SG-CMA 기법의 우수성을 검증한다.

This paper presents a method to evaluate denoising filters based on edge locations in their denoised images. Image quality assessment has often been performed by using structural similarity (SSIM). However, SSIM does not provide clearly the geometric accuracy of features in denoised images. Thus, in this paper, a method to localize edge locations with subpixel accuracy based on adaptive weighting of gradients is used for obtaining the subpixel locations of edges in ground truth image, noisy images, and denoised images. Then, this paper proposes a method to evaluate the geometric accuracy of edge locations based on root mean squares error (RMSE) and jaggedness with reference to ground truth locations. Jaggedness is a measure proposed in this study to measure the stability of the distribution of edge locations. Tested denoising filters are anisotropic diffusion (AF), bilateral filter, guided filter, weighted guided filter, weighted mean of patches filter, and smoothing filter (SF). SF is a simple filter that smooths images by applying a Gaussian blurring to a noisy image. Experiments were performed with a set of simulated images and natural images. The experimental results show that AF and SF recovered edge locations more accurately than the other tested filters in terms of SSIM, RMSE, and jaggedness and that SF produced better results than AF in terms of jaggedness.

This study models mobile communication channels as a discrete finite Markovian process, and Markovian jump linear system having parallel Kalman filter type is applied. What is newly proposed in this paper is an equation for obtaining the transition matrix according to sampling time by using a weighted Gaussian sum approximation and its simple calculation process. Experiments show that the proposed method has superior performance and reuires computation compared to the existing MJLS using the ransition matrix given by a statistical method or from priori information.

잡음섞인 관측데이타로부터 AR 모수를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. AP 방법이라고 이름붙인 이 방법은 단순하고도 신뢰성있는 적응예측기를 이용하려는 시도의 산물이다. 잡음섞인 입력수열로부터 계산된 AR 모수의 추정치보다 예측수열로부터 계산된 AR 모수의 추정치가 원래의 모수에 스펙트럼상의 거리가 더 가깝다는 것을 이론적으로 증명하였다. 실제 음성 신호와 칼만필터를 사용한 실험결과도 이론과 일치함을 보였다. 대략적으로, AP방법으로 계산된 추정치를 사용하였을때의 잡음감쇠성능은 잡음섞인 입력수열로부터 계산된 AP 모수의 추정치를 사용하였을때보다는 우수하였고, EM반복법에 의한 추정치를 사용하였을때보다는 약간 못한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 제안된 방법은 그 단순성으로 인하여 경우에 따라 더 복잡한 다른 방법의 대안으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Discriminative correlation filter (DCF) based tracking algorithms have recently shown impressive performance on benchmark datasets. However, amount of recent researches are vulnerable to heavy occlusions, irregular deformations and so on. In this paper, we intend to solve these problems and handle the contradiction between accuracy and real-time in the framework of tracking-by-detection. Firstly, we propose an innovative strategy to combine the template and color-based models instead of a simple linear superposition and rely on the strengths of both to promote the accuracy. Secondly, to enhance the discriminative power of the learned template model, the spatial regularization is introduced in the learning stage to penalize the objective boundary information corresponding to features in the background. Thirdly, we utilize a discriminative multi-scale estimate method to solve the problem of scale variations. Finally, we research strategies to limit the computational complexity of our tracker. Abundant experiments demonstrate that our tracker performs superiorly against several advanced algorithms on both the OTB2013 and OTB2015 datasets while maintaining the high frame rates.

It is well-known that the convergence rate gets worse when an input signal to an adaptive filter is correlated. In this paper we propose a new adaptive filtering algorithm that makes the convergence rate highly improved even for highly correlated input signals. By introducing an orthogonal constraint between successive input signal vectors, we overcome the slow convergence problem caused by the correlated input signal. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm yields highly improved convergence speed and excellent tracking capability under both time-invariant and time varying environments, while keeping both computation and implementation simple.

We propose a contrast-controlled feature detection approach for steel radiograph image. X-ray images are low contrast, dark and high noise image. So, It is not simple to detect defects directly in automated radiography inspection system. Contrast enhancement, histogram equalization and median filter are the most frequently used techniques to enhance the X-ray images. In this paper, the adaptive control method based on contrast limited histogram equalization is compared with several histogram techniques. Through comparative analysis, CLAHE(contrast controlled adaptive histogram equalization) can enhance detection of defects better.
