This paper provides a new approach for modeling of vector quantizer(VQ) followed by analysis and design of subband codecs with imbedded VQ's. We compute the mean squared reconstruction error(MSE) which depend on N the number of entries in each codebook, k the length of each codeword, and on the filter bank(FB) coefficients in subband codecs. We show that the optimum M-band filter bank structure in presence of pdf-optimized vector quantizer can be designed by a suitable choice of equivalent scalar quantizer parameters. Specific design examples have been developed for two different classes of filter banks, paraunitary and the biorthogonal FB and the 2 channel case. These theoretical results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation.

The H.264/AVC standard obtained better performance than previous compression standards, but it also increased the computational complexity of CODEC simultaneously. Various techniques recently included at the KTA software developed by VCEG also were increasing its complexity. Especially adaptive interpolation filter has more complexity than two times due to development for coding efficiency. In this paper, we propose low-complexity filter bank to improve speed up of decoding and coding gain. We consists of filter bank of a fixed-simple filter for low-complexity and adaptive interpolation filter for high coding efficiency. Then we compensated using optimal filter at each macroblock-level or frame-level. Experimental results shows a similar coding efficiency compared to existing adaptive interpolation filter and decoding speed of approximately 12% of the entire decoder gained.

2-D complex Gabor filtering has found numerous applications in the fields of computer vision and image processing. Especially, in some applications, it is often needed to compute 2-D complex Gabor filter bank consisting of the 2-D complex Gabor filtering outputs at multiple orientations and frequencies. Although several approaches for fast 2-D complex Gabor filtering have been proposed, they primarily focus on reducing the runtime of performing the 2-D complex Gabor filtering once at specific orientation and frequency. To obtain the 2-D complex Gabor filter bank output, existing methods are repeatedly applied with respect to multiple orientations and frequencies. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that efficiently computes the 2-D complex Gabor filter bank by reducing the computational redundancy that arises when performing the Gabor filtering at multiple orientations and frequencies. The proposed method first decomposes the Gabor basis kernels to allow a fast convolution with the Gaussian kernel in a separable manner. This enables reducing the runtime of the 2-D complex Gabor filter bank by reusing intermediate results of the 2-D complex Gabor filtering computed at a specific orientation. Experimental results demonstrate that our method runs faster than state-of-the-arts methods for fast 2-D complex Gabor filtering, while maintaining similar filtering quality.

A number of researchers have attempted to measure the reverberation time of a passenger car, ut the reverberation time of passenger car is too short to measure with the traditional band pass filter. And if the reverberation time is very short, the product of the reverberation time (T) and the bandwidth (B) of the traditional band pass fitter becomes small. The low limit of BT product required for the measurement of reverberation time with the traditional band pass filter is 16. In order to overcome this problem, the wavelet filter bank was developed. In this study, this new wavelet filter was employed to measure the reverberation times of five different classes of passenger cars. The low limit of BT product required for the measurement of reverberation time with the wavelet filter is 4. The reverberation times of five passenger cars were measured successfully with the new wavelet filter bank. The reverberation times measured in most passenger cars was found to be around 0.04. Compared with general acoustic rooms like concert halls, this is a very short reverberation time

A H$\infty$ control theory is applied to the design problem of synthesis filters in a mutirate filter bank. We select a desired pure time-delay system as reference model, and then consider the error system between the mutirate filter bank and the reference model. 1'he synthesis filters minimize the ι$_2$-induced norm of the error system.

In building acoustics, reverberation time is an important acoustic parameter. However, it is often difficult to measure short reverberation times at low frequencies using the traditional band pass filter bank if the product of bandwidth (B) and reverberation time (T) is small. It is well known that the minimum permissible product of bandwidth and reverberation time of the traditional band pass filter is at least 16 ［F. Jacobsen, J. Sound Vib. 115, 163-170 (1987)]. This strict requirement makes it difficult to measure short reverberation times of an acoustic room at low frequencies exactly. In order to reduce this strict requirement, recently, the wavelet filter bank is developed and the minimum permissible product of bandwidth and reverberation time is replaced with 4 [S. K. Lee, J, Sound Vib. 252, 141-153 (2002)]. In the present paper, it is demonstrated how the short reverberation times at low frequencies are successfully measured by using the wavelet filter bank. In order to present this job, two synthetic signals and one measured signal are used for impulse responses of an acoustic room.

In this paper, a novel method for designing an M-channel, causal, stable IIR cosine-modulated filter bank (CMFB) with near PR property is proposed. The IIR prototype filter is designed with a simple constraint using lattice stucture with 1st order allpass filter components. The IIR prototype filter which is designed by the proposed method has higher stopband attenuation and sharper roll-off characteristic than the one which is designed by the previously proposed method with similar complexity. The proposed M-channel IIR CMFB which is designed from this IIR prototype filter is applied to subband acoustic echo canceller (AEC). We obtained about 15dB higher ERLE using this subband AEC than when M-channel FIR subband AEC with similar complexity.

A new low cost hybrid active filter for thyristor-controlled rectifier load is presented to overcome the high cost problem of the active or the other hybrid active filters. The proposed hybrid active filter which consists of tuned (5th and 7th harmonics) LC passive filters, power factor improvement(PFI) capacitor bank, and active filter compensates power factor as well as harmonic currents. Since most of harmonic currents are filtered by the passive filter and most of reactive power is compensated by the PFI capacitor bank, the power rating of active filter can be minimized, resulting in cost minimization of the proposed hybrid active filter. A 300kVA hybrid active filter system is implemented and tested using 1MVA thyristor rectifier load to verify the operation and performance.

Narrow band signal estimation and broad band signal estimation can be used to detect the ship-radiated noise. The broad band signal estimation method to detect the ship-radiated noise is called DEMON (Detection of Envelop Modulation On Noise). This paper proposes a new DEMON algorithm applying compressed sensing algorithm to filter bank and autocorrelation. We show the proposed algorithm estimates the hidden period in the wide band signal better than the conventional DEMON algorithm and the recently proposed filter-bank based DEMON algorithm. Especially we show that the proposed algorithm needs shorter data length than the conventional DEMON algorithm.
