In this paper, a noise reduction system is proposed for the speech interface in intelligent TV applications. To reduce TV speaker sound which are very serious noises degrading recognition performance, a noise reduction algorithm utilizing the direct TV sound as the reference noise input is implemented. In the proposed algorithm, transfer functions are estimated to compensate for the difference between the direct TV sound and that recorded with the microphone installed on the TV frame. Then, the noise power spectrum in the received signal is calculated to perform Wiener filter-based noise cancellation. Additionally, a postprocessing step is applied to reduce remaining noises. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm shows 88% recognition rate for isolated Korean words at 5 dB input SNR.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a video processor for the device of need TV-OUT function. The designed video processor satisfies the standard conditions of ITU-R(International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication) BT.470. Also, in order to apply various digital device, we concentrate upon hardware complexity. ITU-R BT.470 can be classified as NTSC, PAL or SECAM. NTSC and PAL use QAM(Quardarature Amplitude Modulation) to transmit color difference signals and SECAM uses FM(Frequency Modulation). FM must have antic-cloche filter but filter recommended by ITU-R BT.470 is not easy to design due to sharpness of the frequency response. So this paper proposes that the special quality of anti-cloche filter is transformed easy to design and the modulation method is modified to be identical with the result required at standard. The processor can control power consumption by output mode to apply portable digital devices. The proposed processor is experimentally demonstrated with ALTERA FPGA APEX20KE EP20K1000EBC652-3 device and SAMSUNG LCD-TV.

This paper presents the design of a video encoder for the device of need TV-OUT function. The designed video encoder satisfies the standard conditions of International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication (ITU-R) BT.470. ITU-R BT.470 can be classified as NTSC, PAL or SECAM. NTSC and PAL use Amplitude Modulation (AM) to transmit color difference signals and SECAM uses Frequency Modulation (FM). SECAM must have an antic-cloche filter but the filter recommended by ITU-R BT.470 is not easy to design due to sharpness of the frequency response. So formerly the filter was designed as analog. This paper proposes that the filter is designed as digital and the special quality of the filter is transformed easy to design. And the modulation method is modified to be identical with the result required at standard. The encoder can control power consumption by output mode to apply mobile phone, mobile devices, etc. The proposed encoder is experimentally demonstrated with ALTERA FPGA APEX20KE EP20K1000EBC652-3 device and SAMSUNG LCD-TV.

In this paper we propose and analyze a novel modulation and pre-equalization method to minimize signal processing time delay for the Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater (EDOCR) in ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) terrestrial digital TV system. The proposed modulation method uses Equi-Ripple (ER) filter coefficients instead of conventional Square Root Raised Cosine (SRRC) after coefficients for VSB (Vestigial Side Bands) pulse shaping. And the proposed pre-equalization method calculates pre-equalizer filter coefficients by using baseband signal as reference signal and demodulated repeater output signal, then generates a new VSB pulse shaping filter coefficients by convolutioning ER filter coefficients and pre-equalizer filter coefficients. The newly generated pulse shaping filter does not have minimized time delay by adjusting the number of pre-taps of the filter, but also compensates linear distortions caused by ER filter and mask filter.

This paper presents the optimal design method of SAW filters with arbitrary frequency characteristics. The design program using the unconstrained nonlinear optimization method and FFT algorithm is developed for optimal design of SAW filters with arbitrary frequency characteristics. As a design example, a SAW TV IF filter with asymmetric-amplitude and nonlinear-phase frequency characteristics is designed.

This paper proposes three methods for improving the accuracy of auto-music transcription considering with time-varying tempo from monophonic sound. The first one that uses TV(Total Variation) filter for smoothing the pitch data reduces the fragmentation in the pitch segmentation result. Also, the measure finding method that combines three different ways based on pitch and energy of sound data, respectively as well as based on rules produces more stable result. In addition the temporal result of note-length encoding is corrected in optimal way that the resulted encoding minimizes the sum of quantization error in a measure while the sum of note-lengths is equal to the number of beats. In the experiment with 16 children songs, we obtained the improved result in which measure finding was complete, the accuracy of encoding for note-length and pitch was about 91.3 and 86.7, respectively.

An RF energy detector for spectrum sensing in TV white space transceiver is presented. It is based on an RF active filtering technique that comprises a low-noise amplifier with a frequency-translation high-pass filtering feedfoward loop, which attenuates the unwanted sideband energy and only passes the wanted band energy. Unlike the conventional architecture, a new architecture that can attenuate both sidebands at the same time is proposed. A simplified system modeling method is presented to assess the non-ideality effects on the RF energy detector performances. System behavioral simulations demonstrate that the proposed architecture can be instrumental for realizaing a RF energy detector circuit in CMOS.

TV는 타 도메인과 달리, 사전에 정해진 시간에 콘텐츠가 방영된다. 그러므로 TV 프로그램 추천 시스템은 시청자의 현재 시각(time-context)을 고려해야 한다. 시간 기반의 TV 프로그램 추천 방법이 다수 연구되었지만, 대부분의 기존 연구는 특정 시간대(timeslot)에서의 시청자의 선호도를 계산하는 데에만 집중되어 있고, 시청 내역 전체기간에서의 선호도를 고려하지 않은 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 시청자의 지역 선호도와 전역 선호도를 모두 고려한 시간 기반의 TV 프로그램 추천기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 제안 방법에서는 시간대의 길이에 따라 여러 가지 선호도 모델을 사용한다. 여러 개의 선호도 모델로부터 산출된 선호도를 병합하여 가장 선호도가 높은 TV 프로그램을 추천한다. 실 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 기준방식과 비교함으로써, 제안 방법의 효용성을 검증하였다.

지금까지의 TV 방송 서비스는 지상파. 위성 또는 케이블 방송국에서 제공되는 방송 프로그램을 단순히 수동적으로 시청하는 형태가 주를 이루었다. 그러나 최근 디지털 기술의 발전으로 이러한 단 방향 TV방송 서비스를 넘어 양방향 TV 방송 서비스를 가능하게 함으로써 정보 공급자와 사용자 간의 수평적 커뮤니케이션이 가능하게 되었다. 또한 다매체 다채널 방송 환경의 도래로 인하여 TV 시청자에게 수많은 방송 프로그램 정보가 제공됨으로써 정보의 과부하로 인하여 방송 프로그램의 수동적 취사선택이 매우 어려운 TV시청 환경으로 바뀌고 있다. 이로 인하여 TV 시청자의 선호도에 기반한 방송 프로그램 시청환경 제공의 필요성이 대두되었으며 이러한 필요성은 TV의 개인화된 맞춤형 방송 서비스의 도래를 예고 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 요구와 선호도에 따라 개인화된 정보를 전자 프로그램 가이드, 퍼스널 캐스팅 또는 검색/필터링 등의 응용에 사용할 수 있도록 하는 MPEG-21의 컨텍스트 디지털 아이템에 대한 연구이다.
