공간적, 시간적으로 퍼져나가는 전염성이 강한 질병인 수두자료를 이용하여 공간 시계열 자료를 분석하는데 있어 일반적으로 알려진 ARIMA 모형에 적합하여 분석을 행하면 공간적인 정보를 반영하지 못하기 때문에 기존에 시간만을 고려한 시계열 분석방법에 공간통계의 공간적 정보를 반영한 공간시계열 모형을 고려한다. 공간시계열 모형에서 공간의 위치 및 영향은 시계열 모형에 공간적 정보로써 가중치행렬을 더 함으로써 처리 가능해진다. 가중치행렬은 지리적으로 인접한 지역일수록 공간의존도가 높다는 것을 반영한 것이며 공간시계열 모형의 연구에서 가중치행렬은 인접한 지역들은 동일한 영향을 줄 것이라 가정하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 공간시계열 모형인 STARMA 모형과 STBL 모형에 대한 식별방법, 통계적 추론 및 예측력 비교에 대해 연구하였고 특히, 모수추정의 알고리즘 비교와 공간시계열 모형의 예측력 비교를 통해 Kalman-Filter 방법의 우수성을 보이고자 한다.

In brain computer interface (BCI) system, the most important part is classification of human thoughts in order to translate into commands. The more accuracy result in classification the system gets, the more effective BCI system is. To increase the quality of BCI system, we proposed to reduce noise and artifact from the recording data to analyzing data. We used auditory stimuli instead of visual ones to eliminate the eye movement, unwanted visual activation, gaze control. We applied independent component analysis (ICA) algorithm to purify the sources which constructed the raw signals. One of the most famous spatial filter in BCI context is common spatial patterns (CSP), which maximize one class while minimize the other by using covariance matrix. ICA and CSP also do the filter job, as a raw filter and refinement, which increase the classification result of linear discriminant analysis (LDA).

In the paper, the authors propose the application of operational deflection shapes (ODS) for the detection of structural changes in technical objects. The ODS matrix is used to formulate the spatial filter that is further used for damage detection as a classical modal filter (Meirovitch and Baruh 1982, Zhang et al. 1990). The advantage of the approach lies in the fact that no modal analysis is required, even on the reference spatial filter formulation and other components apart from structural ones can be filtered (e.g. harmonics of rotational velocity). The proposed methodology was tested experimentally on a laboratory stand, a frame-like structure, excited from two sources: an impact hammer, which provided a wide-band excitation of all modes, and an electro-dynamic shaker, which simulated a harmonic component in the output spectra. The damage detection capabilities of the proposed method were tested by changing the structural properties of the model and comparing the results with the original ones. The quantitative assessment of damage was performed by employing a damage index (DI) calculation. Comparison of the output of the ODS filter and the classical modal filter is also presented and analyzed in the paper. The closing section of the paper describes the verification of the method on a real structure - a road viaduct.

In this work, we propose new method of sigma filtering for efficient filtering and preserving edge regions in DCT Domain. In block-based image compression technique, the image is first divided into non-overlapping $8{\times}8$ blocks. Then, the two-dimensional DCT is computed for each $8{\times}8$ block. Once the DCT coefficients are obtained, they are quantized using a specific quantization table. Quantization of the DCT coefficients is a lossy process, and in this step, noise is added. In this work, we combine IDCT matrix and filter matrix to a new matrix to simplify filtering process to remove noise after IDCT in spatial domain, for each $8{\times}8$ DCT coefficient block, we determine whether this block is edge or homogeneous region. If this block is edge region, we divide this $8{\times}8$ block into four $4{\times}4$ sub-blocks, and do filtering process for sub-blocks which is homogeneous region. By this process, we can remove blocking artifacts efficiently preserving edge regions at the same time.

An improved beamforming method is proposed to measure the surface impedance of absorbing materials in a free field. It is possible to estimate the surface impedance by decomposing measured signals into incident and reflected signals by using the spatial filter matrix of the beamforming method. Wavelet do-noising techniques which reduce the white Gaussian noise are applied to improve the results. Phase calibration method is also used to improve the results of the measured surface impedance in a low frequency range. The results of the normal incidence experiments that are performed in a semi-anechoic chamber are verified by comparing with those of the standard test method that is presented in ASTM E1050. The proposed method is found to be reliable to measure the surface impedance for frequencies higher than 400 Hz.

Range-based wireless localization system must measure accurate range between a mobile node (MN) and reference nodes. However, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error caused by the spatial structures disturbs the localization system obtaining the accurate range measurements. Localization methods using the range measurements including NLOS error yield large localization error. But filter-based localization methods can provide comparatively accurate location solution. Motivated by the accuracy of the filter-based localization method, a filter residual-based NLOS error estimation method is presented in this paper. Range measurement-based residual contains NLOS error. By considering this factor with NLOS error properties, NLOS error is mitigated. Also a process noise covariance matrix tuning method is presented to reduce the time-delay estimation error caused by the single dynamic model-based filter when the speed or moving direction of a MN changes, that is the used dynamic model is not fit the current dynamic of a MN. The presented methods are evaluated by simulation allowing direct comparison between different localization methods. The simulation results show that the presented filter is more accurate than the iterative least squares- and extended Kalman filter-based localization methods.

본 논문에서는 유전체 위에 도체 평판 상의 주기적 술롯이 배열된 다중 스크린 구조에 대한 전자파 해석 방법을 제시하였다. 이런 다중스크린 구조는 위상 변위 벽으로 둘려 싸여진 마이크로웨이브 도파관처럼 볼 수 있어, 모드 해석 방법으로 각 불연속면에서 산란행렬을 구하고 도파 구간에는 전송 산란행렬을 구하여 직렬 연산하여 다중스크린의 전체 산란행렬을 계산하는 방법을 사용하였다. 본 해석 방법을 검증하기 위해 단일스크린 구조에서 기존의 모멘트 방법으로 계산한 결과와 비교하였으며 타당함을 확인하였다. 본 해석의 적용 예로 공간여파기를 설계하여 각도와 주파수에 따른 투과 및 반사 계수의 특성을 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 3GPP LTE (3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution) MIMO-OFDMA(multiple-input multiple-output-orthogonal frequency division multiple access) 시스템의 하향 링크 수신기를 위한 asynchronous ICI (Inter-Cell Interference) 완화 기법을 제안한다. Multi-cell 환경을 고려한 celluar OFDMA 시스템에서는 기본적으로 frequency reuse factor가 1로 설정되기 때문에 셀 경계에 위치한 UE (User Equipment)의 경우 ICI 영향을 받게 되며, 특히 각기 다른 셀 반경 및 nodeB 간의 거리 차이 등 현실적인 celluar 환경을 고려 할 경우에는 UE 간 타이밍 오류가 가중되어 수신 신호의 주파수 영역의 직교성이 파괴될 가능성이 있다. 따라서 이러한 인접 셀 간섭을 제거 및 완화하기 위하여 수신 OFDM 심볼에 대한 SCM (Spatial Covariance Matrix) 추정이 필요하다. 일반적으로 SCM 추정은 training symbol을 이용함을 가정하지만, 긴 시간 동안 간섭의 통계적 특성을 측정하는 것은 어려울 뿐만 아니라 training symbol이 고려되지 않는 LTE와 같은 MIMO-OFDMA 시스템에는 적합하지 않다. 또한 추정의 정확성을 높이기 위하여 noise reduction 방식이 적용된 추정 기법이 제시되고 있으나, 기존 time-domain low-pass type weighting 방식은 spectral leakage에 의한 추정 에러를 유발하는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 noise reduction 효과를 얻으면서 spectral leakage에 의한 SCM 추정 오류를 최소화할 수 있으며, 주파수 영역에의 moving average filter로 구현 가능한 time-domain sinc-type weighting 방식의 SCM 추정 기법을 제안하였으며, 다양한 환경에서의 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통하여 제안된 방식이 기존의 방식보다 약 3dB 의 SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio) 이득을 보임을 입증하였다.

천해는 속도가 빠르고 강한 간섭표적으로 인하여 신호단편 (snapshot) 수가 제한되어 인접한 느리고 약한 표적을 탐지하기 어려운 환경이다. 천해환경에서 적응정합장처리에 적용하여 고소음의 간섭표적의 효과를 줄일 수 있는 도파관 공간의 간섭표적 필터링 기법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 NDC (null direction constraint)를 적용한 MCM (multiple constraint method) 기법을 새로운 공간간섭 필터로 제안하였다. NDC는 복제음장을 이용하여 CSDM (cross-spectral density matrix)에 포함되어있는 강한 소음원 성분을 강제적으로 걸러줌으로서, 부엽 준위가 낮아지고 저소음표적 신호의 이득을 복원시킨다. 이 기법을 Pekeris 도파관에서의 시뮬레이션 및 동해에서 수행한 정합장처리 실험인 HAPLE03 (matched acoustic properties and localization experiment)의 수직선배열 자료에 적용하였으며, 그 결과 인접한 저소음 표적의 SBNR (signal-to-background-and-noise ratio)이 MVDR (minimum variance distortionless response)과 NSP (null space projection) 보다 향상되었다.

Closed cracks are difficult to detect using conventional ultrasonic testing because most incident ultrasound passes completely through these cracks. Nonlinear ultrasound inspection using sub-harmonic frequencies a promising method for detecting closed cracks. To implement this method, a sub-harmonic phased array (PA) is proposed to visualize the length of closed cracks in solids. A sub-harmonic PA generally consists of a single transmitter and an array receiver, which detects sub-harmonic waves generated from closed cracks. The PA images are obtained using the total focusing method (TFM), which (with a transmitter and receiving array) employs a full matrix in the observation region to achieve fine image resolution. In particular, the receiving signals are measured using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) to collect PA images for both fundamental and sub-harmonic frequencies. Oblique incidence, which is used to boost sub-harmonic generation, inevitably produces various surface waves that contaminate the signals measured in the receiving transducer. Surface wave interference often degrades PA images severely, and it becomes difficult to read the closed crack's position from the images. Various methods to prevent or eliminate this interference are possible. In particular, enhancing images with signal processing could be a highly cost-effective method. Because periodic patterns distributed in a PA image are the most frequent interference induced by surface waves, spatial frequency filtering is applicable for removing these waves. Experiments clearly demonstrate that the spatial frequency filter improves PA images.
