In this paper, an iterative method is proposed to perform attenuation correction and image reconstruction simultaneously for positron emission tomography, by using the time-of-flight information. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate an improved performance of the proposed method in attenuation correction and image reconstruction.

Radiation detection systems working at high count rates suffer from the overlapping of their output electric pulses, known as pulse pile-up phenomenon, resulting in spectrum distortion and degradation of the energy resolution. Pulse tail extrapolation is a pile-up correction method which tries to restore the shifted baseline of a piled-up pulse by extrapolating the overlapped part of its preceding pulse. This needs a mathematical model which is almost always nonlinear, fitted usually by a nonlinear least squares (NLS) technique. NLS is an iterative, potentially time-consuming method. The main idea of the present study is to replace the NLS technique by an integration-based non-iterative method (NIM) for pulse tail extrapolation by an exponential model. The idea of linear extrapolation, as another non-iterative method, is also investigated. Analysis of experimental data of a NaI(Tl) radiation detector shows that the proposed non-iterative method is able to provide a corrected spectrum quite similar with the NLS method, with a dramatically reduced computation time and complexity of the algorithm. The linear extrapolation approach suffers from a poor energy resolution and throughput rate in comparison with NIM and NLS techniques, but provides the shortest computation time.

Bias correction (BC) and quality control (QC) are essential steps for the proper use of satellite observations in data assimilation (DA) system. BC should be calculated over quality controlled observation. And also QC should be performed for bias corrected observation. In the Korea Institute of Atmospheric Prediction Systems (KIAPS) Package for Observation Processing (KPOP), we adopted an adaptive BC method that calculates the BC coefficients with background at the analysis time rather than using static BC coefficients. In this study, we have developed an iterative QC-BC method for Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) to reduce the negative feedback from the interaction between BC and QC. The new iterative QC-BC is evaluated in the KIAPS 3-dimensional variational (3DVAR) DA cycle for January 2016. The iterative QC-BC method for AMSU-A shows globally significant benefits for error reduction of the temperature. The positive impacts for the temperature were predominant at latitudes of $30^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$ of both hemispheres. Moreover, the background warm bias across the troposphere is decreased. Even though AMSU-A is mainly designed for atmospheric temperature sounding, the improvement of AMSU-A pre-processing module has a positive impact on the wind component over latitudes of $30^{\circ}S$ near upper-troposphere, respectively. Consequently, the 3-day-forecast-accuracy is improved about 1% for temperature and zonal wind in the troposphere.

This paper proposes a numerical method based on domain decomposition to find approximate solutions for one-dimensional convection-diffusion equations with Neumann boundary conditions. First, the equations are transformed into convection-diffusion equations with Dirichlet conditions. Second, the author introduces the Prediction/Correction Domain Decomposition (PCDD) method and estimates errors for the interface prediction scheme, interior scheme, and correction scheme using known error estimations. Finally, the author compares the PCDD algorithm with the fully explicit scheme (FES) and the fully implicit scheme (FIS) using three examples. In comparison to FES and FIS, the proposed PCDD algorithm demonstrates good results.

재귀적 구조의 SPCPC (single parity check product code)인 CAMC (constant amplitude multi-code) 는 반복적 복호를 행할 때 SPCPC에 비하여 오류 정정 성능이 우수하다. 본 논문에서는 대역확산 신호인 CAMC의 처리 이득이 성능 향상에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 일반적인 곱 부호에서는 반복적 복호로 오류 정정 과정이 종료되지만, CAMC 는 반복적 복호 후의 역확산 과정에서 추가적으로 오류가 정정된다. 잔존하는 비트 오류의 수가 ($\sqrt{N}/2-1$)개 이하인 경우에는 (N은 코드워드의 길이), 역확산 과정에서 그 오류들은 모두 정정된다. 반복적 복호에서 EI (extrinsic information)의 분포 형태를 관찰한 결과, 초기의 EI 분포는 대체로 랜덤하나, 몇 회의 iteration 후에는 ($-E_{max}$) 혹은 ($+E_{max}$)의 이진 값으로 수렴한다. EI의 분포가 오류 정정의 진행 사항을 반영하는 점을 이용하는 iteration 제어 방법을 실험한 결과 Eb/No 에서 약 0.2 dB의 이득을 얻었다.

When magnetotelluric (MT) data are obtained in the vicinity of the coast, the surrounding seas make it difficult to interpret subsurface structure, especially the deep part of the subsurface. We introduce an iterative method to correct the sea effect, based on the previous topographic correction method that removes the distortion due to topographic changes in seafloor MT data. The method first corrects the sea effect in observed MT impedance, and then inverts corrected response in a model space without the sea. Due to mutual coupling between the sea and the subsurface structure, the correction and inversion steps are iterated until the changes in each result become negligible. The method is tested for 1- and 2-D structures using synthetic MT data produced by 3-D forward modeling including surrounding seas. In all cases, the method closely recovers the true structure assumed to generate synthetic responses after a few iterations.

We investigated a novel fast non-uniform illumination correction method for bi-level images. The proposed method divides a bi-level image into sub-images and roughly estimates block-wise illumination by low pass filtered maximum values of sub-images. After that, we apply bilinear interpolation using the block-wise illumination to estimate non-uniform illumination, and compensate for the effect of non-uniform illumination using the estimated illumination. Since the proposed method is not based on computation intensive iterative optimization, the proposed method can be used effectively for applications that require fast correction of non-uniform illumination. In simulations, the proposed method showed more than 20 times faster speed than existing entropy minimization method. Moreover, in simulations and experiments, the restored images by the proposed method were more close to true images than images restored by conventional method.

An accurate and efficient evaluation for hypersingular integrals (HIs), strongly singular integrals (SSIs), and weakly singular integrals (WSIs) plays an essential role in the numerical solutions of 3D electromagnetic scattering problems. We derive analytic formulas for WSIs based on Stokes' theorem, which can be expressed in elementary functions. Several numerical examples are presented to validate these analytic formulas. Then, to show the feasibility of the proposed formulations for numerical methods, these formulations are used with the existing analytical expressions of HIs and SSIs to correct the near-field interaction in an iterative physical optics (IPO) scheme. Using IPO, the scattering caused by a dihedral reflector is analyzed and compared with the results of the method of moments and measurement data.

해양과 인접한 지역에서 MT탐사 자료를 해석하는 경우, 해양은 심부 구조의 반응을 왜곡시키는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 해저면 MT탐사에서 해저 지형의 영향을 제거하는 지형보정 기법을 바탕으로, 반복적으로 해양효과를 보정하는 기법을 개발하였다. 제안된 기법은 우선 관측 MT 반응에서 주변 해양의 영향을 보정하고, 그 후 해양이 없는 모델공간에서 역산을 수행한다. 주변 해양과 지하구조와의 상호결합 때문에 이 과정은 반복적으로 수행되며, 보정 결과의 변화가 미미할 때 반복과정이 종료된다. 제안된 기법의 검증을 위해 해양을 포함하는 3차원 순산 모델링을 통하여 합성 자료를 생성하였고, 1차원 및 2차원 구조에서 보정기법을 적용하였다. 대체적으로 제안된 해양효과 보정 기법은 $2{\sim}3$회의 반복단계를 거친 후 해양이 없는 경우의 지하구조를 성공적으로 복원하였다. 실제 MT 자료와 유사한 자료를 획득하기 위해 1차원 구조로 잘 알려져 있는 제주도에 대한 3차원 모델링을 수행하여 유사 현장 자료를 생성하였다. 제주도 모델의 경우, 해양효과는 약 1 Hz 이하에서 나타나기 시작하였으며 측선의 위치 때문에 해안선과 수직한 전기장 성분에서 상대 적으로 왜곡이 심하게 나타났다. 이러한 왜곡은 3회의 해양효과 보정과정을 통해 성공적으로 제거되었으며, 1차원 및 2 차원 역산은 모델링 시 가정한 제주도의 지하구조를 성공적으로 복원하였다.
