The enhancement of C2(Command and Control) system will increase effectiveness of individual force power in combat engagement. Especially, available time of a given engaging force and information accuracy are the most influencing factors to increment of combat effectiveness after enhancement of C2 system. In this paper, by using Schutzer's C2 Theory and Measures of Effectiveness, we developed several analytical functions representing the relationships between C2 system enhancement and two most critical variables, available time and information accuracy. As a result of functional analysis, we showed C2 system enhancement and combat effectiveness have positive and non-linear relationship. The higher level of C2 system be required, the better combat effectiveness of force power can be obtained. Additionally, we proposed a proposition that the combat effectiveness of C2 system is more sensitive to available time than to information accuracy, which might be very important issue for further research in this field.

This paper analyzes the performance of various single channel speech enhancement algorithms when they are applied to automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems as a preprocessor. The functional modules of speech enhancement systems are first divided into four major modules such as a gain estimator, a noise power spectrum estimator, a priori signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimator, and a speech absence probability (SAP) estimator. We investigate the relationship between speech recognition accuracy and the roles of each module. Simulation results show that the Wiener filter outperforms other gain functions such as minimum mean square error-short time spectral amplitude (MMSE-STSA) and minimum mean square error-log spectral amplitude (MMSE-LSA) estimators when a perfect noise estimator is applied. When the performance of the noise estimator degrades, however, MMSE methods including the decision directed module to estimate a priori SNR and the SAP estimation module helps to improve the performance of the enhancement algorithm for speech recognition systems.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the enhancement of heat transfer without additional external power in the case of rectangular air jet impinging vertically on the flat heating surface. In an attempt to enhance the heat transfer rate in two-dimensional impinging jet, the technique used in the present study was placement of square rod bundles as a turbluence promoter in front of the heat transfer surface. The effects of the clearance between the flat plate and square rod, and the nozzle exit velocity on the heat transfer characteristics have been investigated experimentally. The results obtained through this study were summerized as follows. High heat transfer enhancement was achived by means of flow acceleration and thinning of boundary layer by inserting rods in front of the heating flat plate. The smaller the clearance between rod and heating plate was, the larger heat transfer effect became. Average Nusselt number reached maximum at $Re=5.76{\times}10^4$ and C＝1㎜ and the enhancement rate of heat transfer became maxium at this condition with the enhancement ratio as high as about 1.427 when normalized by the flat plate value. The correlating equation of average Nusselt number and Reynolds number was obtained, which is $\bar{N}uo=1.324{\cdot}Re^{0.459}{\cdot}(C/A)^{-0.034}$.

본 논문은 영상의 다중 해상도 정보를 이용하여 지문영상을 개선하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 지문영상에서 융선 진행의 변화가 심한 특이영역에서는 화소단위의 필터링을 수행하고, 완만한 변화를 보이는 영역에서는 블록 단위의 필터링을 선택적으로 수행함에 따라, 개선영상의 품질은 향상되며, 연산 량은 감소한다. 실험에 따르면 화소단위의 필터링에 의한 개선 방법에 비하여 연산 속도는 매우 빨라졌으며, 결과영상으로부터의 특징점 인식율의 비교에 따라 개선영상의 품질이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 디지털 카메라로 촬영된 영상의 화질을 향상시키기 위해 영상의 명도 표면을 생성하여 이를 스트레칭 하는 대비 개선 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 명도 표면 스트레칭 기법은 가우시안 함수에 의해 상부 명도 표면과 하부 명도 표면을 생성하여 출력 영상의 최대 명도 범위로 스트레칭함으로써 입력 영상의 대비를 개선하게 된다. 다양한 조명 환경에서 획득한 디지털 컬러 사진을 대상으로 기존의 화질 개선 알고리즘인 히스토그램 스트레칭, 명도 표면 스트레칭, 히스토그램 평활화, 감마 조정, 레티넥스 기법과 제안한 화질 개선 기법의 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 영상 개선 기법은 다른 방법들에 비해 CPP 성능이 우수하였으며 인간 시각의 관점에서 자연스럽게 화질을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Histogram equalization is extensively used for image contrast enhancement in various applications due to its effectiveness and its modest functions. In image research, image enhancement is one of the most significant and arduous technique. The image enhancement aim is to improve the visual appearance of an image. Different kinds of images such as satellite images, medical images, aerial images are affected from noise and poor contrast. So it is important to remove the noise and improve the contrast of the image. Therefore, for this purpose, we apply a median filter on MR image as the median filter remove the noise and preserve the edges effectively. After applying median filter on MR image we have used intensity transformation function on the filtered image to increase the contrast of the image. Than applied the histogram equalization (HE) technique on the filtered image. The simple histogram equalization technique over enhances the brightness of the image due to which the important information can be lost. Therefore, adaptive histogram equalization (AHE) and contrast limited histogram equalization (CLAHE) techniques are used to enhance the image without losing any information.

The examination needle used in ultrasound biopsy is a medical device used to determine whether there is an abnormality in the tissue. Typically, stainless steel is the standard material used for such needles; however, this study wanted to identify a material that could better enhance sound compared to traditional stainless steel. In this study, six types of needle materials available with the biopsy gun were inserted into pork and ultrasound images according to the curved probe and linear probe were evaluated using ultrasound equipment. The findings revealed significant improvements in ultrasound acoustic enhancement with alternative materials compared to stainless steel (p<0.05). The results regarding the depth of each ultrasound image using the curved probe showed that tungsten and brass had high sound enhancement(p<0.05), while with the linear probe, sound enhancement was high in brass, pla, aluminum, and copper(p<0.05). Due to these results, the previously used stainless needle showed lower ultrasound acoustic enhancement than the five types of materials being compared. Consequently, the outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for the development of new needle technologies aimed at minimizing patient risks and improving diagnostic accuracy.

본 논문에서는 support vector machine (SVM) 기반의 global soft decison (GSD)을 이용한 새로운 음성 향상 기법을 제시한다. 일반적으로 soft decision (SD) 이득 수정 및 잡음 전력 추정에 근거한 음성 향상 기법이 hard decision을 이용한 음성향상 기법 보다 우수한 성능을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히, 각 프레임에서의 음성 부재에 대한 효과적인 척도인 전역음성 부재확률 (global speech absence probability, GSAP)을 SD 기반의 음성 향상 기법에 적용한 여러 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 sigmoid 함수를 이용하여 얻어진 SVM의 확률 출력에 의해 추정된 새로운 GSAP를 음성 향상 기법에 적용한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 다양한 잡음 환경에 적용하여 PESQ 및 MOS 평가 방법을 바탕으로 기존의 GSD 기반의 스펙트럼 향상 기법과 비교하여 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

Objective: To document the imaging findings of hepatic cavernous hemangioma detected in cirrhotic liver. Materials and Methods: The imaging findings of 14 hepatic cavernous hemangiomas in ten patients with liver cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed. A diagnosis of hepatic cavernous hemangioma was based on the findings of two or more of the following imaging studies: MR, including contrast-enhanced dynamic imaging (n = 10), dynamic CT (n = 4), hepatic arteriography (n = 9), and US (n = 10). Results: The mean size of the 14 hepatic hemangiomas was 0.9 (range, 0.5-1.5) cm in the longest dimension. In 11 of these (79%), contrast-enhanced dynamic CT and MR imaging showed rapid contrast enhancement of the entire lesion during the early phase, and hepatic arteriography revealed globular enhancement and rapid filling-in. On contrast-enhanced MR images, three lesions (21%) showed partial enhancement until the 5-min delayed phases. US indicated that while three slowly enhancing lesions were homogeneously hyperechoic, 9 (82%) of 11 showing rapid enhancement were not delineated. Conclusion: The majority of hepatic cavernous hemangiomas detected in cirrhotic liver are small in size, and in many, hepatic arteriography and/or contrast-enhanced dynamic CT and MR imaging demonstrates rapid enhancement. US, however, fails to distinguish a lesion of this kind from its cirrhotic background.

Calculations of molecular number densities as a function of optical depth in selected umbral, penumbral and photospheric models predict penumbral enhancement of diatomic molecules containing carbon atoms, strong umbral enhancement of oxides, and moderate umbral enhancement of hydrides. The role of CO formation in an oxygen rich atmosphere is discussed.
