Multi-temporal satellite imagery can be changed into a transform image that emphasizes the changed area only through the application of various change detection techniques. From the transform image, an automated change detection model calculates the optimal threshold value for classifying the changed and unchanged areas. However, the model can cause undesirable results when the histogram of the transform image is unbalanced. This is because the model uses a single threshold value in which the sign is either positive or negative and its value is constant (e.g. -1, 1), regardless of the imbalance between changed pixels. This paper proposes an advanced method that can improve accuracy by applying separate threshold values according to the increased or decreased range of the changed pixels. It applies multiple threshold values based on the cumulative producer's and user's accuracies in the automated binary change detection model, and the analyst can automatically extract more accurate optimal threshold values. Multi-temporal IKONOS satellite imagery for the Daejeon area was used to test the proposed method. A total of 16 transformation results were applied to the two study sites, and optimal threshold values were determined using accuracy assessment curves. The experiment showed that the accuracy of most transform images is improved by applying multiple threshold values. The proposed method is expected to be used in various study fields, such as detection of illegal urban building, detection of the damaged area in a disaster, etc.

Purpose: This study estimates the threshold values of institutional quality through investigating the non-linear effect of six sub-indices of Worldwide Governance Indicators on FDI inflows in 34 developing countries in Asia and Eastern Europe over the period from 2000-2017. Research Design, data and methodology: GMM EGLS is employed which does not include the lagged value of the dependent variable as an independent variable. As a proxy for the institutional quality, either one of the six sub-indices of WGI from World Bank or the composite index obtained through a principal component analysis is used in a separate model. Results: An improvement in institutional quality, when the quality stays below a certain threshold level, does not increase FDI inflows, and only when the quality is above the threshold, it can positively influence FDI inflows. The threshold values of political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, and rule of law are relatively higher than those of the other dimensions of WGI. Conclusion: Institutional quality of the developing economies of Asia and Eastern Europe has a non-linear effect on FDI inflows. The target countries need to upgrade their institutional quality above the threshold in order to attract more FDIs.

This paper presents a method for detecting scene changes in video sequences, in which the $chi^{2}$-test is modified by imposing weights according to NTSC standard. To automatically determine threshold values for scene change detection, the proposed method utilizes the frame differences that are obtained by the weighted $chi^{2}$-test. In the first step, the mean and the standard deviation of the difference values are calculated, and then, we subtract the mean difference value from each difference value. In the next step, the same process is performed on the remained difference values, mean-subtracted frame differences, until the stopping criterion is satisfied. Finally, the threshold value for scene change detection is determined by the proposed automatic threshold estimation algorithm. The proposed method is tested on various video sources and, in the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed method is reliably estimates the thresholds and detects scene changes.

In this paper, the embedded zero-tree wavelet image compression method using multi- threshold is proposed, which can reduce the scanning and symbol redundancy of the existing embedded zero-tree wavelet (EZW) method and enable more efficient coding. In the proposed scheme, a multi-threshold is constructed with the maximum absolute values from each subband decomposed by the wavelet transforms of the input image data. The multi-threshold values are compared with the threshold value T$_1$ in each pass in Successive Approximation Quantization (SAQ) to select the significant subbands, which are only used for the subsequent coding processes, therefore, can reduce the coding redundancy in the existing EZW. By the experimental results, it is verified that the proposed multi-threshold EZW method shows superior performances to the existing EZW method.

본 논문에서는 연속된 프레임들의 차이 값으로부터 획득된 평균과 표준편차를 이용한 새로운 자동 임계치-결정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저, 연속된 프레임사이의 차이 값들에 대한 계산은 기존의 컬러 히스토그램과 ${\chi}^2$-테스트를 병합한 변형된 ${\chi}^2$-테스트 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 변형된 ${\chi}^2$-테스트는 각 컬러공간에 명암도 등급에 따른 가중치를 적용하여 보다 세분화된 값들에 의한 장면전환 검출을 시도할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 제안된 자동 임계치 결정 알고리즘은 획득된 전체 차이값들의 분포로부터 1차 평균과 표준편차를 구한 후, 이를 다시 주어진 차이 값들에 적용하여 1차 평균을 만족하는 차이 값들로부터 2차 평균과 표준편차를 구하며, 이러한 연속적인 평균과 표준편차의 계산으로부터 표준편차가 최대지점으로부터 작아지는 시점의 평균을 기준으로 임계치를 결정하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법은 다양한 비디오 데이터에서 실험되었으며, 실험결과 자동 임계치 결정에 효율적이며, 신뢰할만한 장면들을 검출하였다.

Since SPOT4 satellite contained VEGETATION 1 sensor launched, the noise in VEGETATION data was occasionally arisen a difficulty for the data traitement. Blind line noise types were studied in VEGETATION-l short wave infrared channel(SWIR). In order to provide a precis product, the procedure for removing this noise is strongly recommended. In the case that the blind values are clearly distinguished from contamination-free values a simple threshold method was applied, while a changeable threshold method was used for the blind value mixed with contamination-free values. New algorithm presented in this study is consists of two method for each type of SWIR blind. After removing blind line, there were again some residual pixels of blind, because the threshold is not determinated sufficiently low. Lower threshold could remove the blind line as well as the contamination-free pixels. Nevertheless, the results showed a good qualitative improvement as compared with other algorithm.

This paper reviews and develops several statistical models for extreme values, based on threshold methodology. Extreme values of a time series are modeled in terms of tails which are defined as truncated forms of original variables, and Markov property is imposed on the tails. Tails of the generalized extreme value distribution and a multivariate extreme value distributively, of the tails of the series. These models are then applied to real ozone data series collected in the Chicago area. A major concern is given to detecting any possible trend in the extreme values.

지형은 강우시 유역의 유출반응을 결정하는 중요한 인자이다. 유역분석에서 하천망은 중요한 지형 매개변수이다. DEM격자 크기와 배수누적 행렬의 흐름누적 임계값은 격자 DEM를 이용하여 추출된 하천망에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 DEM에 의해서 추출된 하천망의 배수 밀도는 선택된 DEM 격자크기와 흐름누적 임계값에 따라 다양하다. 일반적으로 작은 흐름누적 임계값은 높은 배수밀도를 가지는 아주 세부적인 하천망을 만들어 내고, 큰 임계값은 조잡한 하천망을 만들어 낸다. 이 연구에서는 연구대상지역에서 총 하천길이가 각각의 DEM 격자크기에 대해 흐름누적 임계값을 계산하는데 이용되었다. 하천망은 흐름누적 임계값을 적용하여 각각의 DEM 격자크기에 대해 추출되었으며, 흐름누적 임계값과 각각의 DEM 격자크기에 연관성이 회귀방정식으로 도출되었다.

Purpose: This study extends previous empirical work on the threshold effects of institutions on the relationship between infrastructure and economic growth. It does so by using three sub-indices of institutions as the threshold variable in place of aggregate index. This is with a view to determining the roles of the sub-indices in the nexus between infrastructure and economic growth. Research design, data and methodology: The analysis is based on a dynamic panel threshold regression model using a panel data set comprising 41 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa over the sample period of 1996-2015. Data are obtained from Ogbaro (2019). Results: The study finds that infrastructure exerts significant positive effects on economic growth below and above the threshold values of the three sub-indices, with higher effects above the threshold values. Results also show that on average, the Sub-Saharan African countries are not able to satisfy any of the threshold conditions, which accounts for their poor growth experience. Conclusion: The study concludes that countries with weak institutions do not benefit maximally from infrastructure development policies. The paper, therefore, recommends that countries in Sub-Saharan Africa need to focus on improving their institutional patterns if they are to reap the optimum benefits from their infrastructure development efforts.

분산 너버우전탐색 트리구성에서 통신복잡성은 몇가지 임계값에 기초한 효과적인 통신동기방식에 의해서 개선될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 분산 그래프의 밀도함수로서 임계값을 설정하고 그 임계값을 이용하여 통신 동기방식에 의거한 분산 너비우선탐색 트리 구성 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 밀도가 낮은 그래프에서 기존의 알고리즘보다 통신 복잡성면성 면에서 수학적 분석을 통해개선됨을 입증하였으며, 밀도가 높은 그래프에서는 현재와 동일함을 입증함으로써 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 종래의 알고리즘들보다 통신 복잡성에서 가장 효율적임을 보았다.
