  • This paper presents a method for detecting scene changes in video sequences, in which the $chi^{2}$-test is modified by imposing weights according to NTSC standard. To automatically determine threshold values for scene change detection, the proposed method utilizes the frame differences that are obtained by the weighted $chi^{2}$-test. In the first step, the mean and the standard deviation of the difference values are calculated, and then, we subtract the mean difference value from each difference value. In the next step, the same process is performed on the remained difference values, mean-subtracted frame differences, until the stopping criterion is satisfied. Finally, the threshold value for scene change detection is determined by the proposed automatic threshold estimation algorithm. The proposed method is tested on various video sources and, in the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed method is reliably estimates the thresholds and detects scene changes.

  • Edge is a characteristic information that can easily obtain the size, direction and location of objects included in the image, and the edge detection is utilized as a preprocess processing in various image processing application sectors such as object detection and object recognition, etc. For the conventional edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt and Roberts. These existing edge detection methods are easy to implement but the edge detection characteristics are somewhat insufficient as fixed weighted mask is applied. Therefore, in order to compensate the problems of existing edge detection methods, in this paper, an edge detection algorithm was proposed after applying the weighted value according to the standard deviation and means within the local mask.

  • In this study, we compared and analyzed the floor impact sound insulation performance produced by the rating methods. The rating methods are using reversed A-weighting curve, A-weighted sound pressure levels and arithmetic average. On-site floor impact sound pressure levels of living room and room are measured. The results of this study are 1)the rating using reversed A-weighting curve for heavy-weight impact sound's standard deviation is lower than that of light-weight impact sound, 2)the number of rating using A-weighted sound pressure levels and arithmetic average is larger than that of using reversed A-weighting curve, and 3)the number of rating using reversed A-weighting curve mainly depends on impact sound pressure level of 63Hz in heavy-weight impact sound.

  • The importance of communication and data processing is increasing with the advance of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Hence, the importance of video and data processing technologies, which directly influence the accuracy and reliability of equipment, is also increasing. In this research report we propose an algorithm for calculating the final output by estimating the standard deviation and estimate required for removing AWGN while adapting to changes in the frequency factors of video. This algorithm calculates the final output by checking an estimated value against the effective pixel range, which is obtained from the standard deviation of mask factors. Subsequently, the weighted value is computed, taking into account the filter output. To evaluate the functionality of this algorithm, it is compared with the most-commonly used present method through simulation. The simulation results show that the important features of the image are preserved and efficient noise cancellation performance is demonstrated.

  • A class of standard optimization techniques to estimate the stationary transition probabilities among states is discussed. With the use of aggregate time series data on employed labor in industrial sectors, the alternative restricted estimates including minimum absolute deviation, unweighted, weighted, generalized inverse, minimum chi-square and maximum likelihood are evaluated and compared. Analytic and numerical results are shown favorably with the viewpoint of the validity and predictive potentiality of model.

  • Recently, the target object can be represented as sparse coefficient vector in visual tracking. Due to this reason, exploitation of the compressibility in the transform domain by using L1 minimization is needed. Further, L1 minimization is proposed to handle the occlusion problem in visual tracking, since tracking failures mostly are caused by occlusion. Furthermore, there is a weighted parameter in L1 minimization that influences the result of this minimization. In this paper, this parameter is analyzed for occlusion problem in visual tracking. Several coefficients that derived from median value of the target object, mean value of the arget object, the standard deviation of the target object are, 0, 0.1, and 0.01 are used as weighted parameter of L1 minimization. Based on the experimental results, the value which is equal to 0.1 is suggested as weighted parameter of L1 minimization, due to achieved the best result of success rate and precision performance parameter. Both of these performance parameters are based on one pass evaluation (OPE).

  • Images are often corrupted by noises during signal acquisition and transmission. Among those noises, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and impulse noise are most representative. For different types of noise have different characters, how to remove them separately from degraded image is one of the most fundamental problems. Thus, a modified image restoration algorithm is proposed in this paper, which can not only remove impulse noise of random values, but also remove the AWGN selectively. The noise detection step is by calculating the intensity difference and the spatial distance between pixels in a mask. To divide two different noises, the method is based on three weighted parameters. And the weighted parameters in the filtering mask depend on spatial distances, positions of impulse noise and standard deviation of AWGN. We also use the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to evaluate restoration performance, and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than conventional median-type filters, in preserving edge details.

  • An edge includes information of objects such as magnitude, orientation, and location. Conventional edge detection methods to detect those edge are methods using Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian operator. Existing methods use fixed weighted mask to detect edges, and their edge detection characteristics are insufficient. Therefore, to remedy weakness of conventional methods, in this paper, an edge detection algorithm using weight with standard deviation and thresholds is proposed.

  • Short runs where it is neither possible nor practical to obtain sufficient subgroups to estimate accurately the control limit are common in modem business environments. In this study, the standardized control chart, Hillier's exact method, Q chart, EWMA(Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) chart for Q statistics and EWMA chart for mean and absolute deviation among many SPC(Statistical Process Control) techniques for short runs have been reviewed and advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed. The simulation experiments to compare performances of these variable charts for process mean and variations are conducted for combination of subgroup size, scale and timing of shifts of process mean an/or standard deviation. Based upon simulation results, some guidelines for practitioners to choose short run SPC techniques are recommended.

  • In modern society, with the development of IoT technology, various digital equipment is being distributed in a wide range of fields such as CCTV and exploration robots. Accordingly, the importance of data processing is increasing, and various studies are being conducted to remove noise generated in the process of receiving data in the imaging field. Representative noise includes additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), and existing filters for removing noise include an average filter (AF), an alpha trimmed average filter (A-TAF), and a median filter (MF). However, existing filters have a disadvantage in that they show somewhat insufficient performance in noise removal characteristics in high frequency areas. Therefore, in this paper, in order to effectively remove AWGN existing in the high frequency region, a weight filter according to a distance based on the standard deviation is proposed.
