Lately, over 4K high definition and high dynamic range (HDR) display devices are popularized, various interpolation and HDR methods have been researched to expand the size and the dynamic range. Since most of the legacy low resolution (LR) images require both an interpolation and a HDR tone mapping methods, the two processes should be subsequently applied. Therefore, the proposed algorithm presents a HDR up-scaling algorithm using undecimated wavelet transform and Retinex method, which transfers a LR image of low dynamic range (LDR) into the high resolution (HR) with HDR. The proposed algorithm consists of an up-scaling scheme increasing the image size and a tone mapping scheme expanding the dynamic range. The up-scaling scheme uses the undecimated version of the simplest Haar wavelet analysis for the 8-directional interpolation and the change region is extracted during the analysis. This region information is utilized in controlling the surround functions' size of the proposed tone mapping using MSRCR, to enhance the pixels of around the edges that are dominant feature of the subjective image quality. As the results, the proposed algorithm can apply an up-scaling and tone mapping processes in accordance with the type of pixel.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 순차적인 inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) 영상들을 활용하여 표적의 회전 속도(Rotation Velocity: RV) 추정을 통한 수직 거리 스케일링(cross-range scaling: CRS)을 수행한다. 순차적으로 형성된 두 개의 ISAR 영상들에 각각 scale invariant feature transform(SIFT)를 적용함으로써 관측각도의 변화에 강인한 산란원(scatterer)들을 추출한다. 추출된 산란원과 각 영상 내 표적의 회전 중심(Rotation Center: RC) 사이의 거리가 같다는 점을 이용하여 비용함수(cost function)를 설정한 후, 전역 탐색 기법(exhaustive search method)과 결합된 particle swarm optimization(PSO)의 최적화를 통해 표적의 RV를 RC 정보 없이 추정한다. 시뮬레이션에서는 시나리오 기반으로 기동하는 표적에 대한 ISAR 영상 형성 후, 제안된 기법을 통해 RC의 정보 없이 RV를 추정함으로써 ISAR 영상의 CRS가 성공적으로 수행됨을 보여준다.

스케일된 웨이브 디지털 필터는 동적범위의 관점에서 최적화되어야 한다. 변압기 스케일링법은 웨이브 디지털 필터의 각 절점에서 이득을 같게 함으로 동적범위를 최대화하는데 목적이 있다. 본 논문에서는 회로망의 구성법과 샘플링 주파수의 영향을 연구하기 위하여 쌍대인 회로망과 상이한 주파수를 사용하였다. 스케일링 안한 WDF와 비교하면 변압기 스케일링법으로 스케일된 웨이브 디지털 필터에서 SNR이 7~35[dB]정도 개선되었다. 또한 샘플링 주파수가 증가함에 다라서 SNR은 연속적인 강하를 나타냈으나, 스케일링 영향으로 SNR이 강하하는 비율은 감소하였다.

The use of fixed-point digital signal processors, such as the TMS 320C25, requires scaling of data at each arithmetic step to prevent overflows while keeping the accuracy. A software which automatizes this process is developed for TMS 320C25. The programmers use a model of a hypothetical floating-point digital signal processor and a floating-point format for data representation. However, the program and data are automatically translated to a fixed-point version by this software. Thus, the execution speed is not sacrificed. A fixed-point variable has a unique binary-point location, which is dependent on the range of the variable. The range is estimated from the floating-point simulation. The number of shifts needed for arithmetic or data transfer step is determined by the binary-points of the variables associated with the operation. A fixed-point code generator is also developed by using the proposed automatic scaling software. This code generator produces floating-point assembly programs from the specifiations of FIR, IIR, and adaptive transversal filters, then floating-point programs are transformed to fixed-point versions by the automatic scaling software.

This paper investigates the application, design and implementation of unscented Kalman filter observer using the various scaling parameters for the sensorless speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The principles of unscented transformation and unscented Kalman filter are examined and their applications are explained. Typically the mapping transformation process is divided into two types, namely the basic unscented transformation and the general unscented transformation by virtue of the scaling parameter value. And resultantly, the number of sampling points, weights, code configuration and computation time are different. But there is no little information on the scaling parameter value or how this value influences the system performance. To analyze the unscented transformation with the various scaling parameters in this study, the experimental results under a wide range of operation condition have been demonstrated.

Ground motion scaling techniques are actively debated in the earthquake engineering community. Considerations such as what amplitude, over what period range and to what target spectrum are amongst the questions of practical importance. In this paper, the effect of various ground motion scaling approaches are explored using three reinforced concrete prototypical building models of 8, 12 and 20 stories designed to respond nonlinearly under a design level earthquake event in the seismically active Southern California region. Twenty-one recorded earthquake motions are selected using a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and subsequently scaled using four different strategies. These motions are subsequently compared to spectrally compatible motions. The nonlinear response of a planar frameidealized building is evaluated in terms of plasticity distribution, floor level acceleration and uncorrelated acceleration amplification ratio distributions; and interstory drift distributions. The most pronounced response variability observed in association with the scaling method is the extent of higher mode participation in the nonlinear demands.

This paper evaluates the scaling of ground motions recorded from nine intermediate-depth earthquakes produced in the Vrancea seismic zone in Romania. The considered ground motion database consists of 363 horizontal recordings obtained on soil classes B and C (according to Eurocode 8). An analysis of the inter- and intra-event spectral accelerations is performed in order to gain information regarding the magnitude and distance scaling of the Vrancea ground motions. The analyses reveal a significant influence of the earthquake magnitude and focal depth on the distance scaling and different magnitude and distance scaling for the two soil classes. A linear magnitude and distance scaling is inferred from the results for the range of magnitudes $5.2{\leq}M_W{\leq}7.1$. The results obtained are checked through stochastic simulations and the influence of the stress drop and kappa values on the ground motion levels is assessed. In addition, five ground motion models which were tested in other studies using recordings from Vrancea earthquakes are analyzed in order to evaluate their corresponding host stress drop and kappa. The results show generally a direct connection between the host kappa values and the host stress drop values. Moreover, all the ground motion models depict magnitude dependent host kappa and stress drop levels.

This work describes a 13b 100 MS/s 0.13 um CMOS four-stage pipeline ADC for 3G communication systems. The proposed SHA-free ADC employs a range-scaling technique based on switched-capacitor circuits to properly handle a wide input range of $2V_{P-P}$ using a single on-chip reference of $1V_{P-P}$. The proposed range scaling makes the reference buffers keep a sufficient voltage headroom and doubles the offset tolerance of a latched comparator in the flash ADC1 with a doubled input range. A two-step reference selection technique in the back-end 5b flash ADC reduces both power dissipation and chip area by 50%. The prototype ADC in a 0.13 um CMOS demonstrates the measured differential and integral nonlinearities within 0.57 LSB and 0.99 LSB, respectively. The ADC shows a maximum signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio of 64.6 dB and a maximum spurious-free dynamic range of 74.0 dB at 100 MS/s, respectively. The ADC with an active die area of 1.2 $mm^2$ consumes 145.6 mW including high-speed reference buffers and 91 mW excluding buffers at 100 MS/s and a 1.3 V supply voltage.

The conventional machine vision system which has uniform rectangular grid requires tremendous amount of computation for processing and analysing an image especially in 2-D image transfermations such as scaling, rotation and 3-D reconvery problem typical in robot application environment. In this study, the imaging system with nonuiformly distributed image sensors simulating human visual system, referred to as Ploar Exponential Grid(PEG), is compared with the existing conventional uniform rectangular grid system in terms of image resolution and computational complexity. By mimicking the geometric structure of the PEG sensor cell, we obtained PEG-like images using computer simulation. With the images obtained from the simulation, image resolution of the two systems are compared and some basic image processing tasks such as image scaling and rotation are implemented based on the PEG sensor system to examine its performance. Furthermore Fourier transform of PEG image is described and implemented in image analysis point of view. Also, the range and heading-angle measurement errors usually encountered in 3-D coordinates recovery with stereo camera system are claculated based on the PEG sensor system and compared with those obtained from the uniform rectangular grid system. In fact, the PEC imaging system not only reduces the computational requirements but also has scale and rotational invariance property in Fourier spectrum. Hence the PEG system has more suitable image coordinate system for image scaling, rotation, and image recognition problem. The range and heading-angle measurement errors with PEG system are less than those of uniform rectangular rectangular grid system in practical measurement range.
