H.264/AVC High 4:4:4 Intra/Predictive profiles supports RGB 4:4:4 sequences for high fidelity video. RGB color planes rather than YCbCr color planes are preferred by high-fidelity video applications such as digital cinema, medical imaging, and UHDTV. Several RGB coding tools have therefore been developed to improve the coding efficiency of RGB video. In this paper, we propose a new method to extract more accurate correlation parameters for inter-plane prediction. We use a searching method to determine the matched macroblock (MB) that has a similar inter-color relation to the current MB. Using this block, we can infer more accurate correlation parameters to predict chroma MB from luma MB. Our proposed inter-plane prediction mode shows an average bits saving of 15.6% and a PSNR increase of 0.99 dB compared with H.264 high4:4:4 intra-profile RGB coding. Furthermore, extensive performance evaluation revealed that our proposed algorithm has better coding efficiency than existing algorithms..

We propose a new motion vector skip coding method for better motion compensation-based coding of inter-slices in H.264/AVC. It is to best utilize the spatial correlation between motion vectors of adjacent 4x4 blocks by effective motion vector coding. For this purpose, we introduce a new macroblock type of Predictive (P) slice into those of the H.264/AVC, so that it can lead to reduction in the coding bits required for encoding motion information. Experimental results with several well-known test video sequences verify that better performance of the proposed method is obtained.

This paper analyzes the vocal tract area estimation algorithm used as a part of a speech analysis program to help deaf children correct their pronunciations by comparing their vocal tract shape with normal children's. Assuming that a vocal tract is a concatenation of cylinder tubes with a different cross section, we compute the relative vocal tract area of each tube using the reflection coefficients obtained from linear predictive coding. Then, we obtain the absolute vocal tract area by computing the height of lip opening with a formula modified for children's speech. Using the speech data for five Korean vowels (/a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/), we investigate the effects of the sampling frequency, frame size, and model order on the estimated vocal tract shape. We compare the vocal tract shapes obtained from deaf and normal children's speech.

Many researches on the parametric representation of speech ,signals using the adaptive linear prediction method have been studied for the past few years. In this paper, we used the LPC(Linear Predictive Coding)method to analyae the parameters of Korean vowels and by using those parameters we studied the affinity between every pair of Korean vowels. As a result of our study, it is found that each pair of Korean vowels that has a greater phonetic affinity also has a greater affinity of vocal tract parameters than other pairs.

모델 예측 제어 시스템은 이동 제어 구간에서 원하는 출력과 예측된 출력의 차이를 최소화하는 현재의 제어 입력을 적용하는 방식을 사용한다. 제약조건이 있는 경우이거나 비선형 시스템 문제의 경우는 주어진 함수를 최소화하는 최적화 문제를 풀기가 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 모델 예측 제어 시스템의 최적화 문제를 실수 코딩 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 효율적으로 구할 수 있음을 보인다. 또한 실수코딩 유전알고리즘이 여러 가지 면에서 디지털코딩 유전알고리즘보다 더 자연스럽고 유리함을 모의실험을 통해 보인다.

In this paper, an efficient predictor for entropy coding is proposed. It adaptively selects one of two prediction errors obtained by MED(median edge detector) or GAP(gradient adaptive prediction). The reduced error is encoded by existing entropy coding method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can compress higher than existing predictive methods.

This paper proposes an improved design of an interleaved motion vector coding scheme with flexibility in predictive motion vector component by exploiting motion characteristics. It can use component-wise adaptive motion vector predictor based on the utility of spatial and temporal motion field without any signaling bit for indicating decoder of the selected predictive motion vector component. Experiment with test video data shows about 1.99% (max 8.71%) bit rate reduction compared to the conventional H.264/AVC method.

It has long been speculated that the visual system should use a coding strategy that takes advantage of statistical redundancies in images. But how such a coding strategy should manifest in neural responses has been less clear. Low-level image structure related to the power spectrum of natural images appears to be captured by a hard-wired efficient code in the retina of the fly and precortical structures like the LGN of cats that maximizes information content through the limited capacity channel of the optic nerve. But visual images are typically filled with higher-order structure beyond that captured by the power spectrum and visual cortex is not constrained by the same capacity limits as the optic nerve. Whether and how visual cortex can flexibly code for higher order redundancies is unknown. Here we show using psychophysical techniques that the neural response in early human visual cortex may be modulated by orientation redundancies in images such that a visual feature that is contained within a predictive pattern results in slower reaction times than a feature that deviates from a pattern, suggesting lower neural responses to predictable stimuli in the visual cortex. Our results point to a neural response in early visual cortex that is sensitive to global patterns and redundancies in visual images and is in marked contrast to standard models of cortical visual processing.

This paper proposes an efficient two-stage fault prediction algorithm for fault detection and diagnosis of induction motors. In the first phase, we use a linear predictive coding (LPC) method to extract fault patterns. In the second phase, we use a dynamic time warping (DTW) method to match fault patterns. Experiment results using eight vibration data, which were collected from an induction motor of normal fault states with sampling frequency of 8 kHz and sampling time of 2.2 second, showed that our proposed fault prediction algorithm provides about 45% better accuracy than a conventional fault diagnosis algorithm. In addition, we implemented and tested the proposed fault prediction algorithm on a testbed system including TI's TMS320F2812 DSP that we developed.

One of the main reasons for serious road accidents is driving while drowsy. For this reason, drowsiness detection and warning system for drivers has recently become a very important issue. Monitoring physiological signals provides the possibility of detecting features of drowsiness and fatigue of drivers. One of the effective signals is to measure electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and electrooculogram (EOG) signals. The aim of this study is to extract drowsiness-related features from a set of EEG signals and to classify the features into three states: alertness, drowsiness, sleepiness. This paper proposes a drowsiness detection system using Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) coefficients and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Samples of EEG data from each predefined state were used to train the SVM program by using the proposed feature extraction algorithms. The trained SVM program was tested on unclassified EEG data and subsequently reviewed according to manual classification. The classification rate of the proposed system is over 96.5% for only very small number of samples (250ms, 64 samples). Therefore, it can be applied to real driving incident situation that can occur for a split second.
