The Compressive Video Sensing (CVS) is a useful technology for wireless systems requiring simple encoders but handling more complex decoders, and its rate-distortion performance is highly affected by the quantization of measurements and reconstruction of video frame, which motivates us to presents the Space-Time Quantization (ST-Q) and Motion-Aligned Reconstruction (MA-R) in this paper to both improve the performance of CVS system. The ST-Q removes the space-time redundancy in the measurement vector to reduce the amount of bits required to encode the video frame, and it also guarantees a low quantization error due to the fact that the high frequency of small values close to zero in the predictive residuals limits the intensity of quantizing noise. The MA-R constructs the Multi-Hypothesis (MH) matrix by selecting the temporal neighbors along the motion trajectory of current to-be-reconstructed block to improve the accuracy of prediction, and besides it reduces the computational complexity of motion estimation by the extraction of static area and 3-D Recursive Search (3DRS). Extensive experiments validate that the significant improvements is achieved by ST-Q in the rate-distortion as compared with the existing quantization methods, and the MA-R improves both the objective and the subjective quality of the reconstructed video frame. Combined with ST-Q and MA-R, the CVS system obtains a significant rate-distortion performance gain when compared with the existing CS-based video codecs.

We propose a quantized gradient search algorithm that can achieve global optimization by monotonically reducing the quantization step with respect to time when quantization is composed of integer or fixed-point fractional values applied to an optimization algorithm. According to the white noise hypothesis states, a quantization step is sufficiently small and the quantization is well defined, the round-off error caused by quantization can be regarded as a random variable with identically independent distribution. Thus, we rewrite the searching equation based on a gradient descent as a stochastic differential equation and obtain the monotonically decreasing rate of the quantization step, enabling the global optimization by stochastic analysis for deriving an objective function. Consequently, when the search equation is quantized by a monotonically decreasing quantization step, which suitably reduces the round-off error, we can derive the searching algorithm evolving from an optimization algorithm. Numerical simulations indicate that due to the property of quantization-based global optimization, the proposed algorithm shows better optimization performance on a search space to each iteration than the conventional algorithm with a higher success rate and fewer iterations.

This paper proposes a new method of reducing the processing time and the size of consummimg memories in Hough transform. In this method, only the functional patterns are considered. The candidate points which are accumulated into the parameter space are computed in a many-to-one fashion and the parameter space is quantized dynamically to maintain a fine precision where it is needed. And a coarse-to-fine extraction method is used to reduce the processing time. The many-to-one fashional computation results in a relatively high-densed accumulation of candidate points around the parameter points corresponding to the image patterns in the image space. So, the dynamic quantization procedure can be simplified and the local maxima can be determined easily. And more effective reduction can be obtained as the dimension of parameter space is increased.

커널 기반 평균 이동 물체 추적(kernel-based mean-shift object tracking) 방법은 신뢰할 수 있는 물체 추적의 실시간 구현이 가능하기 때문에 최근 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이 알고리즘은 표적 모델과 표적 후보 간의 히스토그램 유사성 비교를 통해 최적의 평균이동 벡터를 찾는데, 실시간 구현을 위해 대부분의 알고리즘에서는 색-공간의 균일 양자화를 수행한다. 하지만, 영상의 명암 분포가 편중되어 있는 경우 색-공간의 양자화 후 히스토그램 분포가 몇 몇 빈에 집중되기 때문에 히스토그램 유사성 비교의 정확도를 감소시키게 되고, 따라서 추적의 성능이 저하될 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 히스토그램 빈을 적응적으로 조절하는 비-균일 양자화 알고리즘이 제안되었으나 높은 복잡도로 인해 실시간 추적 알고리즘에 부적합한 단점을 갖고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 표적 모델에 대한 히스토그램 평활화를 수행한 후 색-공간의 균일 양자화를 수행하는 형태의 고속 비-균일 양자화 기법을 제안함으로써, 색-공간 양자화 후에도 표적 모델의 명암 분포가 전 색-영역에 고르게 분포되도록 함으로써 실시간 평균 이동 추적 기법의 추적 성능이 개선될 수 있도록 하였다. 제안하는 색-공간 양자화 기법을 통해 표적 모델과 비교 후보군 사이에 비교 대상이 되는 색 요소가 증가하게 되며, 보다 정확도 높은 히스토그램 유사성 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 물체 추적용 영상을 통한 실험 결과, 제안하는 알고리즘은 복잡도 증가가 거의 발생하지 않는 동시에, 기존 비-균일 양자화 알고리즘 결과와 유사하거나 좀 더 나은 추적 결과를 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 공진기 각진동에 의한 출력을 제거하기 위하여 복조방법을 사용하는 링레이저 자이로의 시간 양자화 오차를 감소시키기 위한 방법을 논의하였다. 링레이저 자이로에는 맥놀이 주파수를 검출하는 과정에서 발생하는 각도 양자화오차와 lock-in 현상을 해결하기 위하여 변조한 각진동을 출력으로부터 복조하는 과정에서 발생하는 시간 양자화오차가 있다. 시간 양자화 오차는 링레이저 자이로의 샘플링 주기가 자이로 각진동 주기에 동기된 복조방법을 사용하기 때문에 발생한다. 일반적으로 자이로 각진동 주기는 항법계산 주기에 비하여 길기 때문에, 탑재체의 자세를 빠른 속도로 업데이트 해야만 하는 고기동 환경에서는 시간양자화 오차에 의한 항법오차가 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 샘플링 시간 양자화오차를 줄이기 위하여 이중 복조방법을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 동적환경에서의 오차 감소현상을 확인하였다.

This paper reviews existing message-filtering schemes and presents a quantization-based message-filtering approach which reduces state update transmission and message traffic requirement. For a realization of the approach we develop a DEVS-based integrator which provides behavior and characteristic of the quantization-based approach. We take a spaceship and space traveling system as a case study to evaluate performance of the quantization-based approach. The approach is validated by DEVSJAVA simulations of the case study. The comparison of message traffic requirement between DTSS (Discrete Time System Specification)-based and DEVS-based systems apparently shows system performance improvement through the quantization-based approach.

This paper reports on speaker-Recognition of context independence-speaker recognition in the field of the speech recognition. It is important to select the parameter reflecting the characteristic of each single person because speaker-recognition is to identify who speaks in the database. We used Mel Frequency Cesptrum Coefficient and Vector Quantization to identify in this paper. Specially, it considered to find characteristic-vector of the speaker in different from known method; this paper used the characteristic-vector which is selected in MFCC Parameter Space. Also, this paper compared the recognition rate according to size of codebook from this database and the time needed for operation with the existing one. The results is more improved $3\sim4\%$ for recognition rate than established Vector Quantization Algorithm.

This paper presents a compression scheme for mesh geometry, which is suitable for mobile graphics. The main focus is to enable real-time decoding of compressed vertex positions while providing reasonable compression ratios. Our scheme is based on local quantization of vertex positions with mesh partitioning. To prevent visual seams along the partitioning boundaries, we constrain the locally quantized cells of all mesh partitions to have the same size and aligned local axes. We propose a mesh partitioning algorithm to minimize the size of locally quantized cells, which relates to the distortion of a restored mesh. Vertex coordinates are stored in main memory and transmitted to graphics hardware for rendering in the quantized form, saving memory space and system bus bandwidth. Decoding operation is combined with model geometry transformation, and the only overhead to restore vertex positions is one matrix multiplication for each mesh partition. In our experiments, a 32-bit floating point vertex coordinate is quantized into an 8-bit integer, which is the smallest data size supported in a mobile graphics library. With this setting, the distortions of the restored meshes are comparable to 11-bit global quantization of vertex coordinates. We also apply the proposed approach to compression of vertex attributes, such as vertex normals and texture coordinates, and show that gains similar to vertex geometry can be obtained through local quantization with mesh partitioning.

In an effort to enhance the quality of feature vector classification and thereby reduce the recognition error rate of the speaker-independent speech recognition, we employ the Mahalanobis distance in the calculation of the similarity measure between feature vectors. It is assumed that the metric matrix of the Mahalanobis distance be diagonal for the sake of cost reduction in memory and time of calculation. We propose that the diagonal elements be given in terms of the variations of the feature vector components. Geometrically, this prescription tends to redistribute the set of data in the shape of a hypersphere in the feature vector space. The idea is applied to the speech recognition by hidden Markov model with fuzzy vector quantization. The result shows that the recognition is improved by an appropriate choice of the relevant adjustable parameter. The Viterbi score difference of the two winners in the recognition test shows that the general behavior is in accord with that of the recognition error rate.

Vector fields in three-space admit bundles of internal variables such as a Heisenberg algebra bundle. Information transmission along field lines of vector fields is described by a wave linked to the Schrodinger representation in the realm of time-frequency analysis. The preservation of local information causes geometric optics and a quantization scheme. A natural circle bundle models quantum information visualized by holographic methods. Features of this setting are applied to magnetic resonance imaging.
