Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is high resolution medical imaging system which is obtaining image inside biological objects with non-destructive method. OCT system is based on Michelson interferometer with a reciprocating mirror in the reference arm and a biological object in the sample arm. The obtained OCT image suffers from a granular or mottled image, called speckle. Speckle is caused by random interferences between reflected coherence waves. In this paper, we propose effective speckle reduction method that uses wavelet transform. With wavelet domain image, sub-windowing and thresholding are performed. Finally, speckle reduction experiments for Misgurnus mizolepis skin and rat eye images are shown.

In this paper, we proposed the object-tracking algorithm that recognizes and estimates the any shaped and size objects using vision system. For the extraction of the object from the background of the acquired images, spatio-temporal filter and signature parsing algorithm are used. Specially, for the solution of correspondence problem of the multiple objects tracking, we compute snake energy and position information of the target objects. Through the real-time tracking experiment, we verified the effectiveness of the suggested tracking algorithm.

An improved transfer alignment method for a strap-down inertial navigation system (SDINS) is presented here. The alignment accuracy in conventional method is vulnerable to the data latency of a Master INS (MINS) in high maneuverable platforms. We propose a time delay compensation equation considering higher-order terms in the attitude measurement equation of the Kalman filter. The equation incorporates additional information including angular rate, angular acceleration and linear acceleration from the MINS. Simulation results show that the transfer alignment accuracy is significantly improved in the high dynamic environment by incorporating the latency compensation technique.

영역기반 스테레오 매칭 분야에서 최근 인간의 시각체계(Human Visual System)에 기반하여 영역내의 밝기값과 거리값에 따라 적응적으로 가중치를 부여하는 적응적 영역 가중치(Adaptive Support-Weight, ASW) 방법이 좋은 매칭 결과를 보이고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 좋은 매칭 결과에 비해서 많은 연산비용을 필요로 하게 되고, 매칭의 실시간 시스템화에 큰 장애요소로 작용한다. 이에 Bilateral filter 수식으로 근사화 후 Integral Histogram 기법을 적용하여 영역 윈도우의 크기에 상관없이 상수 시간 O(1) 내에 매칭을 수행하는 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만 이 방법은 근사화 과정에서의 원 ASW 수식을 왜곡하기 때문에 매칭 정확도의 손실을 가져오게 된다. 본 논문에서는 적응적 영역 가중치 알고리즘의 매칭 정확도를 유지하면서 적응적 영역 가중치 알고리즘의 계산 비용을 줄이는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 영역내의 픽셀을 그룹화하여 근사화된 매칭을 수행하는 Sub-Block 방법과 영상의 에지 정보에 따라 적응적으로 시차 탐색 범위를 조정하는 방법을 제안한다. 결과적으로 제안된 기법은 기존 방식보다 좋은 매칭 정확도를 유지하면서도 효율적으로 계산 수행 시간을 줄이게 된다.

We develop a coronagraph to measure the coronal electron density, temperature, and speed by observing the linearly polarized brightness of solar corona with 4 different wavelengths. Through the total solar eclipse on 21 August 2017, we test an operating software of a prototype coronagraph working with two sub-systems of two motorized filter wheels and a CCD camera that are controlled by a portable embedded computer. A Core Flight System (CFS) is a reusable software framework and set of reusable software applications which take advantage of a rich heritage of successful space mission of NASA. We use the CFS software framework to develop the operating software that can control the two sub-systems asynchronously in an observation scenario and communicate with a remote computer about commands, housekeeping data through Ethernet. The software works successfully and obtains about 160 images of 12 filter sets (4 bandpass filters and 3 polarization angles) during the total phase of the total solar eclipse. For the future, we can improve the software reliability by testing the software with a sufficient number of test cases using a testing framework COSMOS. The software will be integrated into the coronagraph for balloon-borne experiments in 2019.

The diagnosis of abnormalities in a nuclear power plant is essential to maintain power plant safety. When an abnormal event occurs, the operator diagnoses the event and selects the appropriate abnormal operating procedures and sub-procedures to implement the necessary measures. To support this, abnormality diagnosis systems using data-driven methods such as artificial neural networks and convolutional neural networks have been developed. However, data-driven models cannot always guarantee an accurate diagnosis because they cannot simulate all possible abnormal events. Therefore, abnormality diagnosis systems should be able to detect their own potential misdiagnosis. This paper proposes a rulebased diagnostic validation algorithm using a previously developed two-stage diagnosis model in abnormal situations. We analyzed the diagnostic results of the sub-procedure stage when the first diagnostic results were inaccurate and derived a rule to filter the inconsistent sub-procedure diagnostic results, which may be inaccurate diagnoses. In a case study, two abnormality diagnosis models were built using gated recurrent units and long short-term memory cells, and consistency checks on the diagnostic results from both models were performed to detect any inconsistencies. Based on this, a re-diagnosis was performed to select the label of the second-best value in the first diagnosis, after which the diagnosis accuracy increased. That is, the model proposed in this study made it possible to detect diagnostic failures by the developed consistency check of the sub-procedure diagnostic results. The consistency check process has the advantage that the operator can review the results and increase the diagnosis success rate by performing additional re-diagnoses. The developed model is expected to have increased applicability as an operator support system in terms of selecting the appropriate AOPs and sub-procedures with re-diagnosis, thereby further increasing abnormal event diagnostic accuracy.

본 논문에서는 주파수 도약 대역 확산시스템에서 빠른 주파수 도약 패턴을 발생시키며 이에 따른 수신기 동기회로에 관한 연구이다. 고속의 PN 초기동기를 달성하기 위한 정합필터 방식에서 기존의 동기회로 구조로부터 상관기의 개수를 2개로 줄이고 초기동기를 위한 짧은 도약패턴(hoping prefix)을 몇 개의 부 패턴(sub prefix)으로 나눈다. 각기 상이한 주파수 도약패턴에 의하여 PN코드 시작시각에 대한 정보를 보내 이 정보를 이용하여 빠른 동기 획득을 이루게 하며 검출의 신뢰도를 높일 수 있는 고속의 초기동기 회로를 제안하였다. 또한 디지털 주파수 합성기를 사용하여 빠른 주파수 도약을 위한 PLL 구현이 가능함을 분석하였다. 즉, 주파수 스텝(${\Delta}f$)이 1.5MHz이상이면 settling 시간이 $30{\mu}s$정도가 되므로 빠른 주파수 도약을 위한 PLL의 구현이 가능함을 보였다. 결국 동기시간 단축에 있어서 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 주파수 합성기의 빠른 주파수 획득시간과 동기회로의 초기동기 획득시간임을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, vibration reduction techniques of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator are presented for AFM imaging system. The damping coefficient of the actuator driven by VCM with a flexure hinge is quite low and it cause the about 30dB peak amplitude response at the resonance frequency. To decrease this peak response, we design and apply elliptical band-stop filters to xy and z axis VCM actuator. Frequency response of each actuator with filter is measured to verify the effect of the filters. As a sensor, capacitive sensor is used. Vibration reduction rate of the xy actuator with the filter is also measured while real AFM scanning condition. As another method, closed loop control with the capacitive sensor is applied to the xy axis actuator to add an electrical damping effect and vibration reduction rate measured. These vibration reduction rates with each method are compared. In the case of z axis actuator, the frequency response of force (gap) control loop is measured. For comparison, the frequency response using a conventional PID controller is also obtained. Finally, the AFM image of a standard grid sample is measured with the designed controller to analyze the effect in the AFM imaging.

This paper proposes a speech enhancement algorithm to improve the speech intelligibility by suppressing both reverberation and background noise. The algorithm adopts a non-causal single-channel minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) filter to exploit an additional information that is included in the noisy-reverberant signals in subsequent frames. The noisy-reverberant signals are decomposed into the parts of the desired signal and the interference that is not correlated to the desired signal. Then, the filter equation is derived based on the MVDR criterion to minimize the residual interference without bringing speech distortion. The estimation of the correlation parameter, which plays an important role to determine the overall performance of the system, is mathematically derived based on the general statistical reverberation model. Furthermore, the practical implementation methods to estimate sub-parameters required to estimate the correlation parameter are developed. The efficiency of the proposed enhancement algorithm is verified by performance evaluation. From the results, the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvement in all studied conditions and shows the superiority especially for the severely noisy and strongly reverberant environment.
