Discrimination between speech and music is important in many multimedia applications. Previously we proposed a new parameter for speech/music discrimination, the mean of minimum cepstral distances (MMCD), and it outperformed the conventional parameters. One weakness of it is that its performance depends on range of candidate frames to compute the minimum cepstral distance, which requires the optimal selection of the range experimentally. In this paper, to alleviate the problem, we propose a multi-dimensional MMCD parameter which consists of multiple MMCDs with different ranges of candidate frames. Experimental results show that the multi-dimensional MMCD parameter yields an error rate reduction of 22.5% compared with the optimally chosen one-dimensional MMCD parameter.

Multiple object association is an important capability in visual surveillance system with multiple cameras. In this paper, we introduce locally initiating line-based object association with the parallel projection camera model, which can be applicable to the situation without the common (ground) plane. The parallel projection camera model supports the camera movement (i.e. panning, tilting and zooming) by using the simple table based compensation for non-ideal camera parameters. We propose the threshold distance based homographic line generation algorithm. This takes account of uncertain parameters such as transformation error, height uncertainty of objects and synchronization issue between cameras. Thus, the proposed algorithm associates multiple objects on demand in the surveillance system where the camera movement dynamically changes. We verify the proposed method with actual image frames. Finally, we discuss the strategy to improve the association performance by using the temporal and spatial redundancy.

This paper describes a system fur tracking multiple faces in an input video sequence using facial convex hull based facial segmentation and robust hausdorff distance. The algorithm adapts skin color reference map in YCbCr color space and hair color reference map in RGB color space for classifying face region. Then, we obtain an initial face model with preprocessing and convex hull. For tracking, this algorithm computes displacement of the point set between frames using a robust hausdorff distance and the best possible displacement is selected. Finally, the initial face model is updated using the displacement. We provide an example to illustrate the proposed tracking algorithm, which efficiently tracks rotating and zooming faces as well as existing multiple faces in video sequences obtained from CCD camera.

This paper presents a novel video metrology approach based on robust tracking. From videos acquired by an uncalibrated stationary camera, the foreground likelihood map is obtained by using the Codebook background modeling algorithm, and the multiple moving objects are tracked by a combined tracking algorithm. Then, we compute vanishing line of the ground plane and the vertical vanishing point of the scene, and extract the head feature points and the feet feature points in each frame of video sequences. Finally, we apply a single view mensuration algorithm to each of the frames to obtain height measurements and fuse the multi-frame measurements using RANSAC algorithm. Compared with other popular methods, our proposed algorithm does not require calibrating the camera, and can track the multiple moving objects when occlusion occurs. Therefore, it reduces the complexity of calculation and improves the accuracy of measurement simultaneously. The experimental results demonstrate that our method is effective and robust to occlusion.

본 논문에서는 비디오에서 비보정 3차원 좌표의 복원과 카메라의 움직임 추정을 통하여 가상 객체를 비디오에 자연스럽게 합성하는 방법을 제안한다. 비디오의 장면에 부합되도록 가상 객체를 삽입하기 위해서는 장면의 상대적인 구조를 얻어야 하고 비디오 프레임의 흐름에 따른 카메라 움직임의 변화도 추정해야 한다. 먼저 특장점을 추적하고 비보정 절차를 수행하여 카메라 파라메터와 3차원 구조를 복원한다. 각 프레임에서 카메라 파라메터들을 고정시켜 촬영하고 이들 카메라 파라메터는 일정 프레임 동안 불변으로 가정하였다. 제안된 방법으로 세 프레임 이상에서 작은 수의 특징점 만으로도 올바른 3차원 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 가상객체의 삽입 위치는 초기 프레임에서 특정 면의 모서리점의 대응점을 지정하여 결정한다. 가상 객체의 투사 영역을 계산하고 이 영역에 이음새가 없도록 텍스처를 혼합하여 가상객체와 비디오의 부자연스러운 합성 문제를 해결하였다. 제안 방법은 비보정 절차를 선형으로만 구현하여 기존의 방법에 비해서 안정성과 수행속도의 면에서 우수하다. 실제 비디오 스트림에 대한 다양한 실험을 수행한 결과 여러 증강현실 응용 시스템에 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 입증하였다.

Ductility capacity is comprehensively studied for steel moment-resisting frames. Local, story and global ductility are being considered. An appropriate measure of global ductility is suggested. A time domain nonlinear seismic response algorithm is used to evaluate several definitions of ductility. It is observed that for one-story structures, resembling a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system, all definitions of global ductility seem to give reasonable values. However, for complex structures it may give unreasonable values. It indicates that using SDOF systems to estimate the ductility capacity may be a very crude approximation. For multi degree of freedom (MDOF) systems some definitions may not be appropriate, even though they are used in the profession. Results also indicate that the structural global ductility of 4, commonly used for moment-resisting steel frames, cannot be justified based on this study. The ductility of MDOF structural systems and the corresponding equivalent SDOF systems is studied. The global ductility values are very different for the two representations. The ductility reduction factor $F_{\mu}$ is also estimated. For a given frame, the values of the $F_{\mu}$ parameter significantly vary from one earthquake to another, even though the maximum deformation in terms of the interstory displacement is roughly the same for all earthquakes. This is because the $F_{\mu}$ values depend on the amount of dissipated energy, which in turn depends on the plastic mechanism, formed in the frames as well as on the loading, unloading and reloading process at plastic hinges. Based on the results of this study, the Newmark and Hall procedure to relate the ductility reduction factor and the ductility parameter cannot be justified. The reason for this is that SDOF systems were used to model real frames in these studies. Higher mode effects were neglected and energy dissipation was not explicitly considered. In addition, it is not possible to observe the formation of a collapse mechanism in the equivalent SDOF systems. Therefore, the ductility parameter and the force reduction factor should be estimated by using the MDOF representation.

IEEE 802.11ac 무선 랜에서는 무선 채널의 효율성을 높이기 위하여 공간 분할된 다중채널을 활용하여 AP로부터 다중의 단말기들을 향해 서로 다른 프레임들을 동시에 전송할 수 있는 DL MU-MIMO MAC 기술을 도입하였다. IEEE 802.11ac DL-MIMO MAC 기술은 기존 DL SU-MIMO MAC 동작의 두 단계 동작인 무선채널 획득단계와 프레임 전송단계 사이에 TXOP 기간 동안 채널별 목적지 단말기와 전송될 프레임을 선정하는 TXOP 공유단계가 있다. 따라서 IEEE 802.11ac의 MAC 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 TXOP 공유단계의 성능이 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 하지만 표준에서 예시적으로 제시한 우선순위 TXOP 공유방식은 버퍼와 버퍼 내 프레임에 대하여 공정하게 다루지 못하고, 많은 지연시간과 특정 버퍼에 대해서는 높은 손실률을 일으키는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 AC가 가지고 있는 속성의 특성을 최대한 살기기 위하여 p-AC, 유사속성 s-AC, 전체 s-AC, 순으로 TXOP를 공유하는 방안을 제시한다. 이는 기존의 EDCA 특성을 해치지 않는 범위 내에서 차별화된 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 방법이다.

Combining multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) with a massive number of transmit antennas (massive MIMO-OFDM) is an attractive way of increasing the spectrum efficiency or reducing the transmission energy per bit. The effectiveness of Massive MIMO-OFDM is strongly affected by the channel state information (CSI) estimation method used. The overheads of training frame transmission and CSI feedback decrease multiple access channel (MAC) efficiency and increase the CSI estimation cost at a user station (STA). This paper proposes a CSI estimation scheme that reduces the training frame length by using a novel pilot design and a novel unitary matrix feedback method. The proposed pilot design and unitary matrix feedback enable the access point (AP) to estimate the CSI of the signal space of all transmit antennas using a small number of training frames. Simulations in an IEEE 802.11n channel verify the attractive transmission performance of the proposed methods.
