ECG(Electrocardiogram), a field of Bio-signal, is generally experimented with classification algorithms most of which are SVM(Support Vector Machine), MLP(Multilayer Perceptron). But this study modified the Random Forest Algorithm along the basis of signal characteristics and comparatively analyzed the accuracies of modified algorithm with those of SVM and MLP to prove the ability of modified algorithm. The R-R interval extracted from ECG is used in this study and the results of established researches which experimented co-equal data are also comparatively analyzed. As a result, modified RF Classifier showed better consequences than SVM classifier, MLP classifier and other researches' results in accuracy category. The Band-pass filter is used to extract R-R interval in pre-processing stage. However, the Wavelet transform, median filter, and finite impulse response filter in addition to Band-pass filter are often used in experiment of ECG. After this study, selection of the filters efficiently deleting the baseline wandering in pre-processing stage and study of the methods correctly extracting the R-R interval are needed.

There are a lot of influences, such as location of camera, luminosity, brightness, and direction of light, which affect the performance of 2-dimensional image recognition. This paper suggests an adaptive method for face-image recognition in noisy environments using evolvable filtering and feature extraction which uses one sample image from camera. This suggested method consists of two main parts. One is the environmental-adjustment module which determines optimum sets of filters, filter parameters, and dimensions of features by using "steady state genetic algorithm". The other another part is for face recognition module which performs recognition of face-image using the previous results. In the processing, we used Gabor wavelet for extracting features in the images and k-Nearest Neighbor method for the classification. For testing of the adaptive face recognition method, we tested the adaptive method in the brightness noise, in the impulse noise and in the composite noise and verified that the adaptive method protects face recognition-rate's rapidly decrease which can be occurred generally in the noisy environments.

In this paper, we propose an idea for the improved 3-D sound system using conventional stereo headphones to obtain a better sound diffusion from the mono-sound recorded at an anechoic chamber. We use the HRTF(Head Related Transfer Function) for the sound localization and the wavelet filter bank with time delay for the sound diffusion. And we test the modified HRTF with the various sampling rate. We investigate the effects of the 3-D sound depending on the length of time delay at lowest frequency band. Also the correlation coefficient of the signals between the left channel and the right channel is measured to identify the sound diffusion. At last we obtain the diffusion sound using Cool Edit for reverberation.

Using multi-resolution, the mutiresolution proportional-integral-derivative(MRPID) controller functions as a filter to eliminate noise and disturbance which are included in error signals. If the sampling frequency is high, the response time will be delayed because of the remaining high frequency component although the overshoot is removed. However, if the sampling frequency is low, the response time will be enhanced by getting rid of signal components while the overshoot is increased. In this paper, the sampling frequency tuning method is used the response of the proportional integral derivative(PID) controller and the MRPID controller, and the parameter tuning method is considered the characteristic of the MRPID controller. The proposal method is verified by computer simulations.

This paper presents a novel time-domain method for the identification of plastic rotations and stiffness parameters of single-bay frames with nonlinear plastic hinges. Each plastic hinge is modelled as a pseudo-semi-rigid connection with nonlinear hysteretic moment-curvature characteristics at an element end. Through the comparison of the identified end rotations of members that are connected together, the plastic rotation that furnishes information of the locations and plasticity degrees of plastic hinges can be identified. The force consideration of the frame members may be used to relate the stiffness parameters to the elastic rotations and the excitation. The damped-least-squares method and damped-and-weighted-least-squares method are adopted to estimate the stiffness parameters of frames. A noise-removal strategy employing a de-noising technique based on wavelet packets with a smoothing process is used to filter out the noise for the parameter estimation. The numerical examples show that the proposed method can identify the plastic rotations and the stiffness parameters using measurements with reasonable level of noise. The unknown excitation can also be estimated with acceptable accuracy. The advantages and disadvantages of both parameter estimation methods are discussed.

In this paper, an algorithm to compensate the distorted signals due to Current Transformer(CT) saturation is suggested, First, DWT which can be easily realized by filter banks in real-time applications is used to detect a start point and an end point of the saturation. Secondly, For enough Datas those need to use the least-square curve fitting method, the distorted current signal is compensated by the AR(autoregressive) model using the data during the previous healthy section until pick point of Saturation. Thirdly, the least-square curve fitting method is used to restore the distorted section of the secondary current. Finaly, this algorithm had a Hadware test using DSP board(TMS320C32) with Doble test device. DWT has superior detection accuracy and the proposed compensation algorithm which shows very stable features under various levels of remanent flux in the CT core is also satisfactory. And this algorithm is more correct than a previous algorithm which is only using the LSQ fitting method. Also it can be used as a MU involving the compensation function that acquires the second data from CT and PT.

볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 기법의 필요성은 데이터 용량의 증가와 네트워크 사용량의 증가와 함께 더불어 증가해 왔다. 현재에는 다양한 압축 기법이 개발돼 있으며, 사용자는 데이터 유형이나 응용 분야에 맞춰 압축 기법을 선택, 적용할 수 있다. 그러나 최근에는 응용 과학자들로부터 생성되는 데이터의 용량이 기하급수적으로 증가했는데, 이렇게 응용과학 분야에서 생성되는 데이터는 대부분 3차원 볼륨 데이터다. 2차원 이미지나 3차원 동영상 데이터의 경우에는 다양한 표준 압축 방식을 사용할 수 있지만 3차원 볼륨 데이터에 적용할 수 있는 방법은 한정돼 있으며, 특히 시간가변(time-varying) 볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 표준은 거의 존재하지 않는다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시간가변 볼륨 데이터에 대한 압축 방식을 제안한다. 이 방식은 가시화를 목적으로 하는 시간가변 볼륨 데이터의 인코딩을 목적으로 하며, MPEG의 I-프레임과 P-프레임 개념을 사용해서 압축률을 높인다. 본 방식은 시간가변 부동 소수점 데이터(single precision floating-point data)로 구성된 시간가변 볼륨 데이터를 대상으로 하는데, 한 블록 단위의 무작위 복원을 지원하며 Daubechies 웨이블릿 필터와 프레임간의 상관 관계를 사용, 대형 시간가변 볼륨 데이터를 이미지 화질을 보존한다.

The Film X-ray and the CCD method of current medical image system have the disadvantages such as required large place and diagnosis time. In this paper, we implement an effective medical image system using TXT-DXD method's digital X-ray detector(DR1000C). The implemented medical image system has advantages of placing efficiency and short diagnosis time. In order to make the image out of the system more effective, we develop an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) control driver, having the resolution of 1900*1200. And we propose an enhancement unsharp masking method to update image enhancement of DR1000C medical image system, and compare it with the current methods.

In this paper, a processor architecture is proposed based on the state space implementation technique for real time processing of 2-D discrete wavelet transform(DWT). It conducts 2-D DWT operations in consideration of row and column direction simultaneously, thus can reduce latency due to memory access for storing intermediate results. It is a VLSI architecture suitable for real time processing. The proposed architecture includes only four multipliers and four adders, and NK-N internal memory storage, where K denotes the length of filter. It has a small hardware complexity. Therefore it is very suitable architecture for real time, embedded applications such as web camera server. Since the processor is easily extended to array structure, it can be applied to various image processing applications.
