  • This paper presents an appropriate approach for modeling noise in Computed Radiography(CR) images of high strength materials. The approach is specifically designed for types of noise with the statistical and nonlinear properties. CR images Ere degraded even before they are encoded by computer process. Various types of noise often contribute to contaminate radiography image, although they are detected on digitalization. Quantum noise, which is Poisson distributed, is a shot noise, but the photon distribution on Image Plate(IP) of CR system is not always Poisson process. The statistical properties are relative and case-dependant due to its material characteristics. The usual assumption of a distribution of Poisson, binomial and Gaussian statistics are considered. Nonlinear effect is also represented in the process of statistical noise model. It leads to estimate the noise variance in regions from high to low intensity, specifying analytical model. The analysis approach is tested on a database of steel tube step-wedge CR images. The results are available for the comparative parameter studies which measure noise coherence, distribution, signal/noise ratios(SNR) and nonlinear interpolation.

  • X-ray fluorescence spectrum analysis method can be applied in many areas, including concentration analysis of RoHS elements and heavy metals etc. and we can get analysis results in a relatively short time. Because X-ray fluorescence spectrum has noises and several artifacts that lowers the accuracy of the analysis. This paper analyzes the characteristics of the noise of the X-ray fluorescence spectrum to increase the accuracy of analysis. X-ray fluorescence spectrum have the characteristics of shot noise (Poisson noise), so the noise size is relatively large in the small signal portion and the noise the size is relatively small in the large part of the signal. Existing methods of analysis and to remove noises is a method for general purposes algorithm. Since these algorithm does not reflect these noise characteristics, we get distorted analysis result. We can design efficient noise remove algorithm based on the accurate noise analysis method, and we expect high accuracy results of the elemental concentration analysis result.

  • On the homodyne interferometers, high pass filter(HPF) is usually used to remove the electrical noise in the interferent signal. Heterodyne interferometer has modulating frequency is shifted in the frequency region where the electrical noise effect is minimized by HPF effect. However, on the homodyne interferometer, the interferent DC-component of homodyne interferometer is unfortunately eliminated by using a HPF because its shifted frequency does not exist. Moreover, this effect is more serious the vibration amplitude is smaller. So, when unstable interferent signals via HPF are demodulated, a velocity is distorted. In this work, the mathematical explanation for the distortion of the homodyne interferent signal using the HPF is given. New synthetic heterodyne LDV based on the homodyne interferometer by exciting the reference mirror is proposed for the cancellation of the distortion. The optimum excitation condition of the mirror to compensate the distortion is discussed. The numerical simulation using the commercial MATLAB code is provided to show the effect of the proposed synthetic heterodyne LDV. The experimental results are also given and the effect of the proposed LDV is discussed.

  • In this paper, we study the technique to improve the performance of the aerial images taken by UAV using daubechies stationary wavelet transform. When aerial images taken by UAV were damaged by gaussian noise very commonly applied, the experiment for image performance improvement was performed. It was known that stationary wavelet transform is the transferring solution to the problem occurred by down sampling from DWT also more efficient to remove noise than DWT. Also haar wavelet is discontinuous function so not efficient for smooth signal and image processing. Therefore, this study is confirmed that the noise can be removed by daubechies stationary wavelet and the performance is improved by haar stationary wavelet.

  • For the first time in Korea, we are developing technology for gravitational wave (GW) detectors as a major R&D program. Our main research target is quantum noise reduction technology which can enhance the sensitivity of a GW detector beyond its limit by classical physics. Technology of generating squeezed vacuum state of light (SQZ) can suppress quantum noise (shot noise at higher frequencies and radiation pressure noise at lower frequencies) of laser interferometer type GW detectors. Squeezing technology has recently started being used for GW detectors and becoming necessary and key components. Our ultimate goal is to participate and make contribution to international collaborations for upgrade of existing GW detectors and construction of next generation GW detectors. This presentation will summarize our results in 2020 and plan for the upcoming years. Technical details will be presented in other family talks.

  • Text augmentation is a methodology that creates new augmented texts by transforming or generating original texts for the purpose of improving the performance of NLP models. However existing text augmentation techniques have limitations such as lack of expressive diversity semantic distortion and limited number of augmented texts. Recently text augmentation using large language models and few-shot learning can overcome these limitations but there is also a risk of noise generation due to incorrect generation. In this paper, we propose a text augmentation method called TAGS that generates multiple candidate texts and selects the appropriate text as the augmented text. TAGS generates various expressions using few-shot learning while effectively selecting suitable data even with a small amount of original text by using contrastive learning and similarity comparison. We applied this method to task-oriented chatbot data and achieved more than sixty times quantitative improvement. We also analyzed the generated texts to confirm that they produced semantically and expressively diverse texts compared to the original texts. Moreover, we trained and evaluated a classification model using the augmented texts and showed that it improved the performance by more than 0.1915, confirming that it helps to improve the actual model performance.

  • Civil petitions and law suits against the military rifle shooting noise have been increased because many military shooting ranges are located near civilian residential area. In order to solve the noise problems, military have devised various methods. In this study, propagation properties of rifle shot through atmosphere were investigated. The military rifle shooting noise level at 5m from muzzle was between $l14{\sim}120dB$ in all directions. The noise level loom both backward and sideward away from system firing range consisting lines of 8 shooting locations were 90dB, when shots were all fired within 10 seconds. At present some of military bases established sound barriers, muzzle enclosures, silencers, and indoor shooting ranges to reduce noises and these prevention methods can reduce noise by $5{\sim}20dB,\;5{\sim}9dB,\;5{\sim}13dB,\;40{\sim}50dB$, respectively. Even though indoor shooting range has the best performance, it requires very expensive construction cost and has short length between target and shooter. In comparison, muzzle enclosure is cheap, but because it is installed in fixed position it can only be used in one shooting position. Therefore a commander should select appropriate methods to reduce military rifle shooting noise considering distance from residential area to the range, mission of military training, budget, etc.

  • This paper proposes an automatic indexing algorithm of golf video using audio information. In the proposed algorithm, the input audio stream is demultiplexed into the stream of video and audio. By means of Adaboost-cascade classifier, the continuous audio stream is classified into announcer's speech segment recorded in studio, music segment accompanied with players' names on TV screen, reaction segment of audience according to the play, reporter's speech segment with field background, filed noise segment like wind or waves. And golf swing sound including drive shot, iron shot, and putting shot is detected by the method of impulse onset detection and modulation spectrum verification. The detected swing and applause are used effectively to index action or highlight unit. Compared with video based semantic analysis, main advantage of the proposed system is its small computation requirement so that it facilitates to apply the technology to embedded consumer electronic devices for fast browsing.

  • 카메라의 정량 평가 결과로부터 신규 설치된 HVEM용 고전압 CCD 카메라 (SPUS1000 HV-IF)는 기존의 HV-MSC 카메라에 비해 read-out noise level과 shot noise 발생거동, average gain, dynamic range, uniformity, DQE 등이 향상된 결과를 보여 주었고 MTF는 전과 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나 linearity가 HV-MSC 카메라에 비해 그 범위가 좁으며 낮은 전자 조사 조건하에서는 전반적인 카메라 성능이 오히려 HV-MSC 카메라의 경우보다 낮은 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 신규 카메라는 낮은 전자 조사 조건이 필요한 실험에서는 기록 성능의 개선을 나타내지 않지만 고속 영상 기록 기능을 활용한 재료의 역동적 분석과 함께 원자분해 영상 작업과 EELS 분석에 있어선 이전 보다 기록 성능의 뚜렷한 개선을 나타낼 것으로 기대할 수 있다.
