In most of motor-driven motion control systems, an encoder is used to measure a position of the motor and the velocity information is obtained by measuring the position increment over a sampling period. The quantization effect due to limited resolution of the encoder induces some measurement errors, and consequently causes deterioration of the motion performance especially in low velocity. In this paper, we propose a gain-scheduled acceleration estimator which works in wider velocity range than the original acceleration estimator. We investigate and analyze characteristics of the velocity measurement mechanism which takes into account the quantization effect of the encoder. Next, we introduce the acceleration estimator and propose a gain-scheduled acceleration estimator. The bandwidth of the gain-scheduled acceleration estimator is automatically adjusted by the velocity command. Finally, its performance is evaluated by simulation and experiment, and the results are compared with those of a conventional method and the original acceleration estimator.

We consider a design of a combined quantizer and estimator for distributed systems wherein each node quantizes its measurement without any communication among the nodes and transmits it to a fusion node for estimation. Noting that the quantization partitions minimizing the estimation error are not independently encoded at nodes, we focus on the parameter regions created by the partitions and propose a cluster-based quantization algorithm that iteratively finds a given number of clusters of parameter regions with each region being closer to the corresponding codeword than to the other codewords. We introduce a new metric to determine the distance between codewords and parameter regions. We also discuss that the fusion node can perform an efficient estimation by finding the intersection of the clusters sent from the nodes. We demonstrate through experiments that the proposed design achieves a significant performance gain with a low complexity as compared to the previous designs.

In this paper, we present simulation result of quantization effects about a new Angular From Carrier Recovery Loop(AF CR loop) for PSK modulation technique. AF CR loop includes detected angle symbol and Multi Level hardimiter. In general, detected angle is used in dtermining symbol. Because detected angle is used to make an error signal of phase detector output, hardware implementation of AF CR loop is simpler than that of other loops. Before hardware implementation of AF CR loop, the result due to quantization effect should be investigated. In order to confirm quntization effect of AF CR loop, we evaluate performance of this loop by Monte-Carlosimulation method. Under both in the AWGN and Jake's fading noise channel environments, we confirmed the characteristics of AF CR loop in terms of RMS jitter due to quntization effect. Differential APSK modulation schemeis used in this paper. Especially, Jake's fading channel is used as a channel model and also AGC(Automatic Gain Control) is used in the overall process of performance evaluation. We obtained the resonable result of quantization effect about AF CR loop. With the result of performanceevaluation based on quantization effects, we can expect to operate AF CRloop under the fading channel environments reasonably well.

높은 전송률에서 엔트로피 제한 양자화를 수행 시 최적의 양자기는 격자(lattice) 형태의 부호책을 가지는데, 규칙적인 구조로 인하여 양자화 과정이 단순하며, 격자의 형태에 따라 여러 양자화 알고리듬이 제안되어있다. 이러한 격자 벡터 양자기(vector quantizer: VQ)는 표본 적응 프로덕트 양자기(sample-adaptive product quantizer: SAPQ)를 사용하여 구현이 가능하며, 그 출력도 단순하게 엔트로피 부호화가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 SAPQ에 기초한 엔트로피 부호화 방법을 제안하고, 무기억성(memoryless) 가우시언 분포에 대하여 여러 제안한 격자 VQ를 구현하고 양자화 에러 곡선을 엔트로피에 대하여 구하여 그 성능을 비교하였다. 실험을 통하여 전송률이 증가하면서 균등 분포에 이론적으로 얻는 이득과 비슷한 이득을 무기억성 가우시언 분포에서도 SAPQ의 출력을 엔트로피 부호화함으로 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper provides a heuristic theory for modeling and analysis of vector quantization effects in 2-dimensional subband filter banks. This model is used as the basis for optimal filter bank design. The scalar non-linear gain-plus-additive noise quantization model can be used to represent each vector quantizer in 2-band subband codec. The validity and accuracy and of this analytic model is confirmed by comparing the calculated model quantization errors with actual simulation of the optimum LBG vector quantizer. Numerical design examples for the optimum separable paraunitary filter banks are suggested in this paper.

With the constant increase in network traffic, wireless operators are finding it more challenging to keep network hardware costs to a minimum. At the same time, the energy cost associated with operating a network has increased proportionally. Therefore, the search for higher network capacity is simultaneously accompanied by the search for a cost-efficient network deployment. In this paper, we show that a saving in transmitted signal energy can be achieved at the signal design level by deploying very specific signal processing techniques. Using an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing signal for Long-Term Evolution networks as an example, we utilize a novel non-uniform companding quantizer to save a transmitted signal energy. Our results show that by using non-uniform quantization it is possible to further optimize 4G wireless networks.

In this paper, we propose an efficient motion adaptive 3-dimensional (3D) video coding algorithm using 3D subband coding (3D-SBC) and lattice vector quantization (LVQ) for low bit rate. Instead of splitting input video sequences into the fixed number of subbands along the temporal axes, we decompose them into temporal subbands of variable size according to motions in frames. Each spatio-temporally splitted 7 subbands are partitioned by quadtree technique and coded with lattice vector quantization(LVQ). The simulation results show 0.1∼4.3dB gain over H.261 in peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) at low bit rate(64Kbps).

음성코딩 시 성도는 Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) 계수를 이용해서 모델링 한다. 일반적으로 LPC 계수는 양자화와 선형보간 관점에서 유리한 Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) 파라미터로 변경하여 사용한다. 10차 이상의 다차원 LSF 데이터를 벡터 양자화를 이용하여 직접 코딩하게 되면 벡터 내 상관관계 (intra-frame correlation)를 모두 이용할 수 있으므로 rate-distortion 관점에서는 높은 효율을 기대할 수 있다. 하지만, 계산량과 메모리 요구량이 높아져서 실제 코딩 시스템에서는 사용할 수 없게 되므로, 차원을 나누어 압축하는 Split Vector Quantization (SVQ)이 이용된다. 또한, LSF 데이터는 과거 벡터와의 벡터 간 상관관계 (inter-frame correlation)가 높으므로, 이를 이용한 Predictive Split Vector Quantization (PSVQ)이 사용되고 있다. PSVQ는 SVQ 보다 높은 rate-distortion 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 음성 저장 장치를 위한 최적의 PSVQ를 구현하기 위해서 다수의 과거 프레임 정보와의 벡터 간상관관계 (inter-frame correlation)를 고려한 Multi-Frame AR-model 기반 SVQ (MF-AR-SVQ)를 제안하였다. 기존 PSVQ와 비교해 보았을 때, MF-AR-SVQ는 계산량과 메모리 요구량의 큰 증가 없이, 평균 spectral distortion 관점에서 약 1비트의 성능 향상을 보였다.

Wyner-Ziv 부호화에서의 시간예측은 원본 영상을 알 수 없는 Wyner-Ziv 복호화기에서 이루어지기 때문에 압축성능 저하를 피할 수 없었다. 이를 해결할 방안으로 Wyner-Ziv 부호화기의 가장 큰 장점인 부호화기의 경량화를 유지하면서도 최소한의 시간예측을 부호화기에서 하기 위하여 제안된 기술이 Wyner-Ziv 잔차 신호 부호화 기술이다. 이 기술은 키 프레임과 부호화 하는 Wyner-Ziv 프레임간의 단순한 차로 만들어진 잔차 신호를 분산비디오 부호화 하는 것이다. 하지만, 화소 영역에서 이잔차 신호 부호화 기술을 적용할 경우 기존의 화소영역 Wyner-Ziv 부호화보다는 성능이 개선되지만, 변환영역 Wyner-Ziv 부호화 기술과는 유사한 성능에 그쳤다. 이에 변환영역 WZ 잔차 신호 부호화 기술개발의 시도가 있었으나, 기존의 변환영역 WZ 부호화가 사용하는 양자화와의 호환성 문제로 성능 저하가 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 기존의 고정적인 양자화 행렬과 양자화 레벨을 WZ 프레임의 잔차 신호에 따라 적응적으로 바꿀 수 있는 양자화를 제안한다. 제안 방법은 Wyner-Ziv 프레임만 고려하였을 때, 4개의 영상에서 평균 약 22%의 BDBR 이득과 약 1.2dB의 BDPSNR 이득을 보인다.

The Compressive Video Sensing (CVS) is a useful technology for wireless systems requiring simple encoders but handling more complex decoders, and its rate-distortion performance is highly affected by the quantization of measurements and reconstruction of video frame, which motivates us to presents the Space-Time Quantization (ST-Q) and Motion-Aligned Reconstruction (MA-R) in this paper to both improve the performance of CVS system. The ST-Q removes the space-time redundancy in the measurement vector to reduce the amount of bits required to encode the video frame, and it also guarantees a low quantization error due to the fact that the high frequency of small values close to zero in the predictive residuals limits the intensity of quantizing noise. The MA-R constructs the Multi-Hypothesis (MH) matrix by selecting the temporal neighbors along the motion trajectory of current to-be-reconstructed block to improve the accuracy of prediction, and besides it reduces the computational complexity of motion estimation by the extraction of static area and 3-D Recursive Search (3DRS). Extensive experiments validate that the significant improvements is achieved by ST-Q in the rate-distortion as compared with the existing quantization methods, and the MA-R improves both the objective and the subjective quality of the reconstructed video frame. Combined with ST-Q and MA-R, the CVS system obtains a significant rate-distortion performance gain when compared with the existing CS-based video codecs.
