In this paper, a speed-up technique for the non-local means (NLM) image denoising method based on local binary descriptor (LBD) is proposed. In the NLM, most of the computation time is spent on searching for non-local similar patches in the search window. The local binary descriptor which represents the structure of patch as binary strings is employed to speed up the search process in the NLM. The descriptor allows for a fast and accurate preselection of non-local similar patches by bitwise operations. Using this approach, a tradeoff between time-saving and noise removal can be obtained. Simulations exhibit that despite being principally constructed for speed, the proposed algorithm outperforms in terms of denoising quality as well. Furthermore, a parallel implementation on GPU brings NLM-LBD to real-time image denoising.

본 논문에서는 허프만 코드의 효율적인 복호화를 위하여 균형이진 트리와 정규 허프만 트리를 이용한 복호화 방법을 제안하였다. 균형이진 트리 방식은 트리의 높이를 낮추고 이진탐색이 가능하도록 하여 검색횟수를 줄일 수 있었지만 심벌의 발생확률이 아니라 코드의 크기에 트리를 만드는 것이 단점이다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 트리의 레벨 마다 심벌의 발생확률에 따른 균형이진 트리를 구성하고 이진탐색을 레벨 별로 수행하였다. 최상위 레벨부터 순차적으로 검색을 하지 않고 코드가 있는 레벨을 찾아 검색하기 위하여 정규 허프만 트리를 사용하여 검색횟수를 최소화하였다.

Delayed access to surgery may lead to deterioration in the patient condition, poor clinical outcomes, increase in the probability of emergency admission, or even death. The purpose of this work is to decide the number of patients selected from a waiting list and to schedule them in accordance with the operating room capacity in the next period. We formulate the problem as an infinite horizon Markov Decision Process (MDP), which attempts to strike a balance between the patient waiting times and overtime works. Structural properties of the proposed model are investigated to facilitate the solution procedure. The proposed procedure modifies the conventional value iteration method along with the binary search technique. An example of the optimal policy is provided, and computational results are given to show that the proposed procedure improves computational efficiency.

DEAS is an direct searching and optimization method that based on the binary code space. It can be classified as an direct hill climbing searching. However, because of binary code space based searching, the searching in low resolution has random property. As the resolution of code increases during the search, its property of searching changes like that of hill climbing search. This paper propose a method for improving the performance of minimum seeking ability of DEAS with history information. The cost evaluation is increased. However the minimum searching ability of DEAS is improved along the same starting resolution.

For decades, in-memory data structures have been designed for DRAM-based main memory that provides symmetric read/write performances and has no limited write endurance. However, such data structures provide sub-optimal performance for NVM as it has different characteristics to DRAM. With this motivation, we rethink a conventional red-black tree in terms of its efficacy under NVM settings. The original red-black tree constantly rebalances sub-trees so as to export fast access time over dataset, but it inevitably increases the write traffic, adversely affecting the performance for NVM with a long write latency and limited endurance. To resolve this problem, we present a variant of the red-black tree called a hierarchical balanced binary search tree. The proposed structure maintains multiple keys in a single node so as to amortize the rebalancing cost. The performance study reveals that the proposed hierarchical binary search tree effectively reduces the write traffic by effectively reaping the high capacity of NVM.

인터넷은 그 급속한 성장과 더불어 점차 더 나은 서비스를 제공할 것을 요구받게 되었다. 이에 따라 차세대 인터넷 라우터들에서의 지능적인 패킷 분류 기능은 필수 불가결한 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 패킷 분류란 미리 정의된 classifier에 의거하여 입력된 패킷에 매치하는 가장 순위가 높은 룰을 찾는 과정이다. 기존에 나와있는 많은 패킷 분류 검색 구조들이 출발지, 목적지 프리픽스 필드에 기반하여 룰을 추려내는 접근 방법을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 검색 구조들은 출발지, 목적지 프리픽스 검색을 위하여 트라이 구조에 바탕을 둔 순차적인 일차원 검색을 따르고 있으며, 매우 큰 메모리를 요구한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 메모리를 매우 효율적으로 사용하면서도 출발지-목적지 프리픽스 쌍에 기반한 이차원 패킷 분류 구조를 제안하고자 한다. 코드워드로 구성된 이진 프리픽스 트리를 구성함으로써, 출발지 프리픽스 검색과 목적지 프리픽스 검색이 하나의 이진 트리를 통해 동시에 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안하는 구조인 이차원 이진 프리픽스 트리는 트리 구조 내부에 비어있는 노드를 포함하고 있지 않으므로 트라이 구조가 가지고 있는 메모리의 비효율성 문제를 완전히 제거하였다.

This thesis investigates an expert system(ES) to propose fault restoration plan by utilizing tree search strategies. In order to cope with an extensive amount of data and frequent breaker switching operations in distribution systems, the database of system configuration is constructed by using binary trees. This remarkably enhances the efficiency of search algorithm and makes the proposed ES easily adaptable to system changes due to switching operations. The rule-base is established to fully utilize the meris of tree-structured database. The inferring strategy is developed mainly based on the best-first search algorithm to increase computation efficiency. The proposed ES has been implemented to efficiently deal with large distribution systems by reducing computational burden remarkably compared with the conventional ES's.

Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches (DEAS) which is known as a fast and reliable non-gradient optimization method, was proposed [1]. DEAS reaches local or global optimum with binary strings (or binary matrices for multi-dimensional problem) by iterating the two operations; bisectional search (BSS) and unidirectional search (UDS). BSS increases binary strings by one digit (i.e., 0 or 1), while UDS performs increment or decrement of binary strings in the BSS' result direction with no change of string length. Because the interval of UDS exponentially decreases with increment of bit string length (BSL), DEAS is difficult to escape from local optimum when DEAS falls into local optimum. Therefore, this paper proposes hopping UDS (HUDS) which performs UDS by hopping as many as BSL in the final point of UDS process. HUDS helps to escape from local optimum and enhances a probability searching global optimization. The excellent performance of HUDS will be validated through the well-known benchmark functions.

A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system with fast-tracked time and high power efficiency is presented in this paper. The proposed MPPT system uses an unbounded binary search (UBS) algorithm that continuously tracks the maximum power point (MPP) with a binary system to follow the MPP under rapid-weather-change conditions. The proposed algorithm can decide the correct direction of the MPPT system while comparing the previous power point with the present power point. And then, by fixing the MPP until finding the next MPP, there is no oscillation of voltage MPP, which maximizes the overall power efficiency of the photovoltaic module. With these advantages, this proposed UBS is able to detect the MPP more effectively. This MPPT system is based on a boost converter with a micro-control unit to control analog-to-digital converters and pulse width modulation. Analysis of this work and experimental results show that the proposed UBS MPPT provides fast, accurate tracking with no oscillation in situations where weather rapidly changes and shadow is caused by all sorts of things. The tracking time is reduced by 87.3% and 66.1% under dynamic-state and steady-state operation, respectively, as compared with the conventional 7-bit perturb and observe technique.

We introduce a process for optically reconstructing full-color holographic images recorded by optical scanning holography. A complex RGB-color hologram was recorded and converted into a binary hologram using a direct binary search (DBS) algorithm. The generated binary hologram was then optically reconstructed using a spatial light modulator. The discrepancies between the reconstructed object sizes and colors due to chromatic aberration were corrected by adjusting the reconstruction parameters in the DBS algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first optical reconstruction of a full-color hologram recorded by optical scanning holography.
