In this paper multi-rate non-recursive architecture for CIC(Cascaded Integrator-Comb) decimation filters with an arbitrary factor is proposed. The CIC filters are widely used in high speed wireless communication systems since they have multiplier-less and multi-rate low-power structure. Even conventional non-recursive CIC structure is multi-rate this architecture can be structured only in case of M-th power-of-two decimation factor. This paper proposes that muli-rate non-recursive CIC architecture can be structured with an any decimation factor of product form. Power consumption of the proposed architecture is compared with that of the conventional non-recursion architecture.

In FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter applications, Nth-band FIR digital filters are known to be important due to their reduced computational requirements. The conventional methods for designing FIR filters use iterative approaches such as the well-known Parks-McClellan algorithm. The Parks-McClellan algorithm is also used to design Nth-band FIR digital filters after Mintzer's research. However, a disadvantage of the Parks-McClellan algorithm is that it needs a large amount of design time. This paper describes a direct design method for Nth-band FIR Filters using Chebyshev polynomials, which provides a reduced design time over indirect methods such as the Parks-McClellan algorithm. The response of the resulting filter is equi-ripple in passband. Our proposed method produces a passband response that is equi-ripple to within a minuscule error, comparable to that of Mintzer's design method which uses the Parks-McClellan algorithm.

In the computer-aided detection (CAD) system of pulmonary nodules, a high false positive rate is common because the density and the computed tomography (CT) values of the vessel and the nodule in the CT images are similar, which affects the detection accuracy of pulmonary nodules. In this paper, a method of automatic detection of pulmonary nodules based on multi-scale enhancement filters and 3D shape features is proposed. The method uses an iterative threshold and a region growing algorithm to segment lung parenchyma. Two types of multi-scale enhancement filters are constructed to enhance the images of nodules and blood vessels in 3D lung images, and most of the blood vessel images in the nodular images are removed to obtain a suspected nodule image. An 18 neighborhood region growing algorithm is then used to extract the lung nodules. A new pulmonary nodules feature descriptor is proposed, and the features of the suspected nodules are extracted. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify the pulmonary nodules. The experimental results show that our method can effectively detect pulmonary nodules and reduce false positive rates, and the feature descriptor proposed in this paper is valid which can be used to distinguish between nodules and blood vessels.

We propose an efficient digital IF down converter architecture for dual-mode WCDMA/cdma2000 based on the concept of software defined radio. Multi-rate digital filters and fractional frequency conversion techniques are adopted to implement the front end of a dual-mode receiver for WCDMA and cdma2000. A sub-sampled digital IF stage was proposed to support both WCDMA and cdma2000 while lowering the sampling frequency. Use of a CIC filter and ISOP filter combined with proper arrangement of multi-rate filters and common filter blocks resulted in optimized hardware implementation of the front end block in 292k logic gates.

In FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter applications, Nth-band FIR digital filters are known to be important due to their reduced computational requirements. The conventional methods for designing FIR filters use iterative approaches such as the well-known Parks-Mcclellan algorithm. the Parks-Mcclellan algorithm is also used to design Nth-band FIR digital filters. But a disadvantage of the Parks-McClellan algorithm Is that it needs a good amount of design time. This paper describes a direct design method for third-band FIR Filters using Chebyshev polynomial, which provide a reduction in design time over indirect methods such as the Parks-McClellan algorithm. The response of the resulting filter is equi-ripple in passband. The proposed method of design produces a passband response that is equi-ripple to within a minuscule error, compare to that of the Parks-McClellan algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a fast small target detection method using multiple filters, and describe system implementation using IPP libraries. To detect small targets in Infra-Red images, it is mandatory that you should apply a filter to eliminate a background and identify the target information. Moreover, by using a suitable algorithm for the environments and characteristics of the target, the filter must remove the background information while maintaining the target information as possible. For this reason, in the proposed method we have detected small targets by applying multi area(spatial) filters in a low luminous environment. In order to apply the multi spatial filters, the computation time can be increased exponentially in case of the sequential operation. To build this algorithm in real-time systems, we have applied IPP library to secure a software optimization and reduce the computation time. As a result of applying real environments, we have confirmed a detection rate more than 90%, also the computation time of the proposed algorithm have been improved about 90% than a typical sequential computation time.

In this paper, a multi-channel speech enhancement method using the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) algorithm and a variable learning rate control is proposed. To control the learning rate for adaptive filters of the LCMV algorithm, the direction of arrival (DOA) is measured for each short-time input signal and the likelihood function of the target speech presence is estimated to control the filter learning rate. Using the likelihood measure, the learning rate is increased during the pure noise interval and decreased during the target speech interval. To optimize the parameter of the mapping function between the likelihood value and the corresponding learning rate, an exhaustive search is performed using the Bark's scale distortion (BSD) as the performance index. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional LCMV with fixed learning rate in the BSD by around 1.5 dB.

유비쿼터스 헬스케어 시스템은 사용자의 건강 정보를 감독하고 관리하는 시스템이며, 이 헬스케어 시스템에서 가장 중요한 점은 측정된 건강 데이터의 정확성이다. 그러나 실생활에서는 사용자의 움직임 에 따라 그 정확성이 현저하게 달라진다. 따라서 건강 정보 정확성을 향상시키기 위해 본 연구에서는 심박수 추출에 있어 새로운 맥파 최대점 검출 알고리즘을 제안하였고, 제안된 알고리즘은 다중 하위 대역 필터와 퍼지 추론기를 이용하여 동잡음이 포함된 PPG 신호에서 맥파의 최대점을 검출하기 위한 것이다. 제안된 알고리즘에 대한 성능평가 실험에서 복잡한 동잡음에서도 맥파 최대점 추출이 가능함을 보였다.

This paper presents about multi-rate sensors' synchronization and filter fusion via a sigmoid function of the Kalman filter. To synchronize multi-rate sensors, the estimation states of the Kalman filter is modified. A specific matrix that makes the filter choose sensor values only updated is multiplied to measurement matrix. For the filter that has weak points on some criteria, filter fusion is suggested by using sigmoid function. Modified kalman filter is tested with practical case. A sigmoid function was designed for the test and the performance of the modified function is estimated with respect to conventional Kalman filter. Unscented Kalman filter is used to the base filter of the suggested filter because of its stability.

본 논문에서는 NTSC 칼라영상신호를 프레임내에 휘도신호와 색도신호를 분리하기 위한 새로운 적응형 필터링방식을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 인가되는 신호의 상태, 즉 수직방향에서의 상관관계, 그리고 수평방향과 대각선방향에서의 천이상태를 검출하여 제어신호를 생성하고, 이 신호에 의해 수직 필터군과 수평 필터군에서 각각 적응적으로 필터를 선택하여 처리함으로써 색도신호를 얻으며, 휘도신호는 칼라영상신호에서 색도신호를 감하여 얻는다. 여기에 사용된 필터들은 NTSC 칼라영상신호를 칼라부반송과 주파수의 4배로 샘플링한 경우에 대해서 설계되었으며, 몇가지 평가방법에 의해, 제안된 방식과 기존의 방식을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 SVP(Serial Video Processing) 시스템을 이용하여 비교하였다.
