In a wireless communication RF transmitter, the output of a quadrature modulator (QM) is distorted by not only the linear imperfection features such as in/quadrature-phase (I/Q) input gain imbalance, local phase imbalance, and local gain imbalance but also the nonlinear imperfection features such as direct current (DC) offset and mixer nonlinearity related to in-band spurious signal. In this paper, we propose the unified QM model to analyze the combined effects of the linear and nonlinear imperfection features on the performance of the QM. The unified QM model consists of two identical nonlinear systems and modified I/Q inputs based on the two-port nonlinear mixer model. The unified QM model shows that the output signals can be expressed by mixer circuit parameters such as intercept point and gain as well as the imperfection features. The proposed approach is validated by not only simulation but also measurement.

본 논문에서는 자료패턴을 분류하기에 적합한 특징을 추출하는 방법인, 클래스가 부가된 커널 주성분분석(class-augmented kernel principal component analysis)를 새로이 제안하였다. 특징추출에 널리 이용되는 부분공간 기법 중, 최근 제안된 클래스가 부가된 주성분분석(class-augmented principal component analysis)은 패턴 분류를 위한 특징을 추출하기 위해 이용되는 선형분류분석(linear discriminant analysis)등에 비해 정확한 특징을 계산상의 문제 없이 추출할 수 있는 기법이다. 그러나, 추출되는 특징은 입력의 선형조합으로 제한되어 자료에 따라 적절한 특징을 추출하기 어려운 경우가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 클래스가 부가된 주성분분석에 커널 트릭을 적용하여 비선형 특징을 추출할 수 있는 새로운 부분공간 기법으로 확장하고, 실험을 통하여 성능을 평가하였다.

This paper proposes a novel real-time EMG pattern recognition for the control of a multifunction myoelectric hand from four channel EMG signals. To cope with the nonstationary signal property of the EMG, features are extracted by wavelet packet transform. For dimensionality reduction and nonlinear mapping of the features, we also propose a linear-nonlinear feature projection composed of PCA and SOFM. The dimensionality reduction by PCA simplifies the structure of the classifier, and reduces processing time for the pattern recognition. The nonlinear mapping by SOFM transforms the PCA-reduced features to a new feature space with high class separability. Finally a multilayer neural network is employed as the pattern classifier. We implement a real-time control system for a multifunction virtual hand. From experimental results, we show that all processes, including virtual hand control, are completed within 125 msec, and the proposed method is applicable to real-time myoelectric hand control without an operation time delay.

This study investigated the interaction between consonants and vowels in Korean syllable perception using a speeded classification task (Garner, 1978). Experiment 1 examined whether listeners analytically perceive the component phonemes in CV monosyllables when classification is based on the component phonemes (a consonant or a vowel) and observed a significant redundancy gain and a Garner interference effect. These results imply that the perception of the component phonemes in a CV syllable is not linear. Experiment 2 examined the further relation between consonants and vowels at a subphonemic level comparing classification times based on glottal features (aspiration and lax), on place of articulation features (labial and coronal), and on vowel features (front and back). Across all feature classifications, there were significant but asymmetric interference effects. Glottal feature.based classification showed the least amount of interference effect, while vowel feature.based classification showed moderate interference, and place of articulation feature-based classification showed the most interference. These results show that glottal features are more independent to vowels, but place features are more dependent to vowels in syllable perception. To examine the three-way interaction among glottal, place of articulation, and vowel features, Experiment 3 featured a modified Garner task. The outcome of this experiment indicated that glottal consonant features are independent to both the place of articulation and vowel features, but the place of articulation features are dependent to glottal and vowel features. These results were interpreted to show that speech perception is not abstract and discrete, but nonlinear, and that the perception of features corresponds to the hierarchical organization of articulatory features which is suggested in nonlinear phonology (Clements, 1991; Browman and Goldstein, 1989).

The pneumatic vibration isolation systems have been widely used in industry and laboratories, but the full mathematical analysis and nonlinear modeling techniques have not been reported yet, even while the nonlinear features of the pneumatic vibration isolation system decide the main characteristics. For instance, the orifice in a pneumatic vibration isolator has been traditionally considered as a simple viscous damper, which was too much simplified to explain the performance of the isolation system. In this paper, the nonlinear characteristics are considered for the orifice and chamber, etc. The numerical simulation is carried out by the MATLAB/Simulink software. From the analysis result, a clear trend of the nonlinear features is shown: the vibration transmissibility changes not only due to the excitation frequency but also due to the amplitude of the vibration excitation. Therefore various design parameters are optimally chosen for the vibration isolation system. The proposed methods show good compatibility between the analysis results and the experiments.

디지털 영상에서의 특징점 추출 기술은 로봇비전, 의료영상 진단시스템 및 비디오 전송과 같은 분야 등에서 많이 응용되고 있다. 디지털 영상에서 특징점을 추출하는 방법에는 비선형 그래디언트, 비선형 라프라시안, 엔트로피와 같은 필터들이 있다. 그런데 인간의 시각에서 영상의 특징이 형성되는 과정을 살펴보면, 밝은 영역보다는 어두운 영역에서의 특징에 더 민감한 특성을 가지고 있으므로 기존의 필터로써 특징점을 추출하는데 효과적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 국부영역의 밝기를 고려하는 특징점 추출 필터들을 제안한다. 이들 필터들은 연산이 간단하여 매우 신속하게 특징점을 추출할 수 있으며, 국부적인 밝기를 고려하지만 기존의 엔트로피 연산자가 지닌 단점을 극복하여 어두운 영역에서의 미세한 밝기 변화에는 강건한 특성을 가지는 특성을 지닌다. 실험결과 다양한 밝기변화와 국부영역에 걸쳐 매우 뛰어난 특징점 추출결과를 나타내었다.

A fingerprint verification system based on a set of invariant moment features and a nonlinear Back Propagation Neural Network(BPNN) verifier is proposed. An image-based method with invariant moment features for fingerprint verification is used to overcome the demerits of traditional minutiae-based methods and other image-based methods. The proposed system contains two stages: an off-line stage for template processing and an on-line stage for testing with input fingerprints. The system preprocesses fingerprints and reliably detects a unique reference point to determine a Region-of-Interest(ROI). A total of four sets of seven invariant moment features are extracted from four partitioned sub-images of an ROI. Matching between the feature vectors of a test fingerprint and those of a template fingerprint in the database is evaluated by a nonlinear BPNN and its performance is compared with other methods in terms of absolute distance as a similarity measure. The experimental results show that the proposed method with BPNN matching has a higher matching accuracy, while the method with absolute distance has a faster matching speed. Comparison results with other famous methods also show that the proposed method outperforms them in verification accuracy.

본 논문에서는 다수의 영상에서 발견된 특징점의 정확한 정합을 위한 비선형 최적화 기법을 제안한다. 영상에서 발견된 특징점은 선형 해법에 의해 다수의 영상간의 변환을 구할 수 있지만 큰 오차를 수반하게 된다. 이는 영상이 생성되는 모델이 비선형이며, 다수시점간의 운동역시 비선형의 형태를 띄기 때문이다. 하지만 다수의 영상의 비선형 최적화는 일반적인 비선형 해법을 도입하였을 때에는 복잡도가 지수적으로 증가하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Levenberg-Marquardt 비선형 최적화 방법의 희박해법(Sparse solution)을 이용하여 다수의 특징점간의 변환을 구하는 방법을 보인다.

The design and implementation of Generalized Minimum Variance control laws for nonlinear multivariable systems that can include severe nonlinearities is considered. The quadratic cost index minimised involves dynamically weighted error and nonlinear control signal costing terms. The aim here is to show the controller obtained is simple to design and implement. The features of the control law are explored. The controller obtained includes an internal model of the process and in one form is a nonlinear version of the Smith Predictor.
