This paper presents a threshold adaptation based voice query transcription scheme for music information retrieval. The proposed scheme analyzes monophonic voice signal and generates its transcription for diverse music retrieval applications. For accurate transcription, we propose several advanced features including (i) Energetic Feature eXtractor (EFX) for onset, peak, and transient area detection; (ii) Modified Windowed Average Energy (MWAE) for defining multiple small but coherent windows with local threshold values as offset detector; and finally (iii) Circular Average Magnitude Difference Function (CAMDF) for accurate acquisition of fundamental frequency (F0) of each frame. In order to evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme, we implemented a prototype music transcription system called AMT2 (Automatic Music Transcriber version 2) and carried out various experiments. In the experiment, we used QBSH corpus [1], adapted in MIREX 2006 contest data set. Experimental result shows that our proposed scheme can improve the transcription performance.

For the purpose of compromising hosts, attackers including infected hosts initially perform a portscan using IP addresses in order to find vulnerable hosts. Considerable research related to portscan detection has been done and many algorithms have been proposed and implemented in the network intrusion detection system (NIDS). In order to distinguish portscanners from remote hosts, most portscan detection algorithms use a fixed threshold that is manually managed by the network manager. Because the threshold is a constant, even though the network environment or the characteristics of traffic can change, many false positives and false negatives are generated by NIDS. This reduces the efficiency of NIDS and imposes a high processing burden on a network management system (NMS). In this paper, in order to address this problem, we propose an automatic portscan detection system using an fast increase slow decrease (FISD) scheme, that will automatically and adaptively set the threshold based on statistical data for traffic during prior time periods. In particular, we focus on reducing false positives rather than false negatives, while the threshold is adaptively set within a range between minimum and maximum values. We also propose a new portscan detection algorithm, rate of increase in the number of failed connection request (RINF), which is much more suitable for our system and shows better performance than other existing algorithms. In terms of the implementation, we compare our scheme with other two simple threshold estimation methods for an adaptive threshold setting scheme. Also, we compare our detection algorithm with other three existing approaches for portscan detection using a real traffic trace. In summary, we show that FISD results in less false positives than other schemes and RINF can fast and accurately detect portscanners. We also show that the proposed system, including our scheme and algorithm, provides good performance in terms of the rate of false positives.

이동 객체 추적 시스템을 위한 한 연구 분야로 차영상을 이용하여 움직임을 추정하는 기법이 있다. 움직임 추정을 위해 차영상을 이용하는 경우 임계값을 적용하여 배경 영역과 이동 객체 영역을 구분할 수 있도록 이진화를 수행하는 과정이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 차영상에서 배경과 객체의 특성 변화에 적응적인 임계값 결정 기법을 제안하였다. 제안 기법은 차영상의 히스토그램 모양을 분석하여 적절한 임계값을 결정하도록 하였다. 그레이 스케일 영상의 이진화에 사용되는 일반적인 임계값 기법들과 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 60개의 실험 영상에 대해 평가한 결과 제안 기법이 수작업으로 확인한 최적의 임계값과 평균 오차 2.8로 성능의 우수성을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.4a 시스템에 적합한 직렬 검색 비동기 상호 상관(serial search non-coherent correlator)을 이용한 두 단계(two-stage) 방식의 동기 방식(synchronization scheme)을 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 다중펄스 신호를 사용하여 단일펄스 신호를 이용하는 기존 방식보다 동기성능을 개선하였고, 적응 임계값(adaptive threshold) 기법을 적용하여 고정 임계값(fixed threshold)을 사용함으로써 생기는 낮은 SNR에서의 성능 열화를 보상하였다. 제안된 기법은 IEEE 802.15.4a 채널 모델에서 기존의 기법과 비교하여 약 0.2~0.3우수한 검출 확률(Detection Probability)을 보였다.

Threshold signature and blind signature are playing important roles in cryptography as well as practical applications such as e-cash and e-voting systems. In this paper, we present a new threshold blind digital signature based on pairings without a trusted third party. Our scheme operates on Gap Diffie-Hellman group, where Computational Diffie-Hellman problems are hard but Decision Diffie-Hellman problems are easy. For example, we use pairings that could be built from Weil pairing or Tate pairing. To the best of our knowledge, we claim that our scheme is the first threshold blind signature using pairings with provable security in the random oracle model.

This paper presents a threshold decision technique for direct sequence code acquistion employing Pseudo-Noise(PN) matched filter. The probabilities of detection and false alarm are derived as a measure of the system performance in both nonfading and nonselective Rician fading channels. For received PN codes with different SNR, the proposed acquisition scheme is able to detect a desired threshold in the search mode so that this value is utilized as a threshold for the verification mode. Thus, there is no need to determine a threshold by applying the Neyman-Person ciriteron. It is shown that this scheme achieves lower probability of false alarm than the acquisition scheme based on the Neyman-Person criterion, giving comparable performance in terms of the probability of detection.

There are many application areas of sensor networks, such as surveillance, hospital monitoring, and home network. These are dependent on the secure operation of networks, and will have serious outcome if the networks is injured. An adversary can inject false data into the network through the compromising node. Ye et al. proposed a statistical en-route filtering scheme (SEF) to detect such false data during forwarding process. In this scheme, it is important that the choice of the threshold value since it trades off security and overhead. This paper presents an adaptive threshold value determining method in the SEF using fuzzy logic. The fuzzy logic determines a security distance value by considering the situation of the network. The Sensor network is divided into several areas by the security distance value, it can each area to uses the different threshold value. The fuzzy based threshold value can reduce the energy consumption in transmitting.

Bit error rate (BER) monitoring is the ultimate goal of performance monitoring in all digital transmission systems as well as optical fiber transmission systems. To achieve this goal, optimization of the decision threshold must also be considered because BER is dependent on the level of decision threshold. In this paper, we analyze a pseudo-error counting scheme and propose an algorithm to achieve both BER monitoring and adaptive decision threshold optimization in optical fiber transmission systems. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we conduct computer simulations in both Gaussian and non-Gaussian distribution cases. According to the simulation results, BER and the optimum decision threshold can be estimated with the errors of < 20% and < 10 mV, respectively, within 0.1-s processing time in > 40-Gb/s transmission systems.

In this paper, we analyze a dynamic threshold decryption scheme proposed by Long et al. It was claimed that the scheme allows to renew the master key, or to add/remove or update a decryption server, without leaking any information on the master key and changing other decryption server's secret keys. We present an attack to Long et al's scheme by using the fact that it renews a decryption server's secret key without changing other decryption server's secret shares.
