In this paper, a subband coding scheme using the human visual system(HVS) model for encoding monochrome images is proposed to produce perceptually higher quality images compared with the regular subband coding scheme. The proposed approach first transforms the intensity image to the density image by a point nonlinear transformation. A frequency band dexomposition of the density image is carried out by means of 2-D seaprable quadrature mirror filters, which split the density image spectrum into 16 equall rate subbands. Bits are allocated among the subbands to minimize the weighted mean squar error (WMSE) for differential pulse code modulation(DPCM) coding of the subbands. The weight for each subband is calculated from the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the HVS model at corresponding frequencies. The performances of the proposed approach are evaluated for 256 * 256 monochrome images at the bit rates of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 bita per pixel. Computer simulation results indicate that using the HVS model yields more pleasing reconstructed images than regular subband coding approach which does not use HVS model.

In this paper, the subband nonlinear adaptive Volterra filters are introduced and its analysis are presented. From the eigenvalue analysis of the input correlation matrix, we show that the proposed subband adaptive Volterra filter has superior convergence performance as compared to the conventional one, which shows that the it can be useful for the recently proposed subband nonlinear adaptive echo canceller. Also, the optimum filter in each subband are introduced and verified from the computer simulations.

Convex combination of two adaptive filters is an efficient method to improve adaptive filter performances. In this paper, a subband convex combination method of two adaptive filters for fast convergence rate in the transient state and low steady state error is presented. The cost function of mixing parameter for a subband convex combination is defined, and from this, the coefficient update equation is derived. Steady state analysis is used to prove the stability of the subband convex combination. Some simulation examples in system identification scenario show the validity of the subband convex combination schemes.

We consider the feature recombination technique in a multiband approach to speaker identification and verification. To overcome the ineffectiveness of conventional feature recombination in broadband noisy environments, we propose a new subband feature recombination which uses subband likelihoods and a subband reliable-feature selection technique with an adaptive noise model. In the decision step of speaker recognition, a few very low unreliable feature likelihood scores can cause a speaker recognition system to make an incorrect decision. To overcome this problem, reliable-feature selection adjusts the likelihood scores of an unreliable feature by comparison with those of an adaptive noise model, which is estimated by the maximum a posteriori adaptation technique using noise features directly obtained from noisy test speech. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in noisy environments, we use the TIMIT database and the NTIMIT database, which is the corresponding telephone version of TIMIT database. The proposed subband feature recombination with subband reliable-feature selection achieves better performance than the conventional feature recombination system with reliable-feature selection.

This paper proposes a moving image compression algorithm using subband coding that divides and processes the differential image of each moving image frame into subband frequency. This method decomposes the original image with each subband and performs DCT. The moving blocks are detected from each of wubband using threshold value which is select from the variance of difference between frames. then they are performed SBDCT and huffman coding in order to reduce the data. As the result of simulation, we confirmed that this method improved the blocking effect of reconstructed image in low bit rate.

This paper presents the subband affine projection algorithm(SAPA). The improved performance of SAPA is achieved by applying the affine projection algorithm to the subband adaptive structure. In this algorithm, the weight updating formula of adaptive filter is simply derived by using the orthogonal quadrature filter(OQF) as an analysis filter bank for subband filtering. The derived SAPA has the fast convergence speed and small computational complexity. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm for colored input signal is evaluated through some experiments.

In this paper, the cavity-length-dependent spectral and temporal characteristics of a V-groove AlGaAs-GaAs quantum wire (QWR) laser at each subband were investigated. At short cavity lasers less than $300{\mu}m$, a discrete wavelength switching from the n=1 to the n=2 subband occurred due to the increased threshold gain, resulting from the increased cavity loss. Using the characteristic of the wavelength shift from n=1 to the n=2 subband with shortening the cavity length, ultrafast lasing behaviors under gain switching at the n=1 and the n=2 subband transition were demonstrated and compared.

This paper proposes a subband filtering technique to the MUSIC and the ESPRIT algorithm for estimating the magnitude and frequency of the harmonics of power signal. In proposed method, the input power signal is decomposed to the odd harmonics and the even harmonics respectively by the filter bank system. The amplitude and the frequency estimation of the decomposed harmonics are carried out using the MUSIC and the ESPRIT method. Subband filtering can reduce the autocorrelation matrix size of input data, and spectrum leakage between adjacent harmonics. Therefore, this subband technique has advantage in computational cost and estimation accuracy compared to fullband MUSIC and ESPRIT. To demonstrate the performance of the method, computer simulations are performed to the synthesized input signal, and experiment results are compared in subband and fullband cases.

The electronic subband structure and the envelope wave function for three types of superlattices are calculated with a new method. Comparison of the results of this method with those of other methods has proved the validity of this method. In particullas, the results of saw-toothed superlattices show that the change of the effective mass with position must be considered. Therefore this method can be easily applied to arbitrily shaped superlattices and multiple quantum well structures.

This paper presents an adaptive digital image watermarking scheme that uses successive subband quantization (SSQ) and perceptual modeling. Our approach performs a multiwavelet transform to determine the local image properties optimal and the watermark embedding location. The multiwavelet used in this paper is the DGHM multiwavelet with approximation order 2 to reduce artifacts in the reconstructed image. A watermark is embedded into the perceptually significant coefficients (PSC) of the image in each subband. The PSCs in high frequency subbands are selected by setting the thresholds to one half of the largest coefficient in each subband. After the PSCs in each subband are selected, a perceptual model is combined with a stochastic approach based on the noise visibility function to produce the final watermark.
