Images can be contaminated with different types of noise, for different reasons. The neighborhood averaging and smoothing by image averaging are the classical image processing techniques for noise removal. The classical spatial filtering refers to the aggregate of pixels composing an image and operating directly on these pixels. To reduce or remove effectively noise in image sequences, it usually needs to use noise reduction filter based on space or time domain such as method of spatial or temporal filter. However, the method of spatial filter can generally cause that signals of objects as the target are also blurred. In this paper, we propose temporal filter using the piece-wise quadratic function model and enhancement algorithm of image quality for the performance improvement of target detection and tracking by heterogeneous noise reduction. Image tracking simulation that utilizes real IIR(Imaging Infra-Red) images is employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed image processing algorithm.

This paper presents a stability analysis of AC-DC power system feeding a speed controlled DC motor in which this load behaves as a constant power load (CPL). A CPL can significantly degrade power system stability margin. Hence, the stability analysis is very important. The DQ and generalized state-space averaging methods are used to derive the mathematical model suitable for stability issues. The paper analyzes the stability of power systems for both speed control natural frequency and DC-link parameter variations and takes into account controlled speed motor dynamics. However, accurate DC-link filter and DC motor parameters are very important for the stability study of practical systems. According to the measurement errors and a large variation in a DC-link capacitor value, the system identification is needed to provide the accurate parameters. Therefore, the paper also presents the identification of system parameters using the adaptive Tabu search technique. The stability margins can be then predicted via the eigenvalue theorem with the resulting dynamic model. The intensive time-domain simulations and experimental results are used to support the theoretical results.

In this paper, we have analyzed the transient and steady state characteristics of buck type DC-DC converter using the sliding mode control method based upon VSS. This control method provides the easier analysis tool due to the time domain analysis and the acquirement of desired transient characteristics if the slope of the switching line is properly selected, and guarantees the robustness against parameter uncertainties and load disturbances. Also, it can achieve direct nonlinear control without linearizing approximation of state space averaging method. PSPICE simulation results are then presented verifying these concepts.

In this paper, an incoherent imaging of a high-contrast cylindrical cavity illuminated by the time-harmonic cylindrical wave is obtained ia the back-projections of he incoherent intensity patterns, which si acquired by averaging out the multi-frequency intensities of the total electric field scattered from this object in the cross-borehole measurement configuration. Multi-freuqncy effect is shown numerically and is intepreted analytically by the mutual coherence function defined in the is frequency domain. This imaging method is validated by imaging high-contrast cylindrical cavidities and the conditions to get better image are investigated.

In this paper, we propose an advanced Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) channel estimation method for IEEE 802.11p/Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) systems. To improve the performance of MMSE method, we apply the Weighted Sum using Update Matrix (WSUM) scheme to the step of calculating the instantaneously estimated channel and then, a time domain selectively averaging method is applied after the WSUM scheme. Based on that, the accuracy of instantaneously estimated channel increases and then, the accuracy of auto covariance matrix also increases. Consequently, we can achieve the performance gain over the conventional MMSE method. Through simulations based on the IEEE 802.11p standard, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme can outperform the existing channel estimation schemes.

By utilizing singular value decomposition (SVD) and shift averaged Harr wavelet transform (WT) with a set of Daubechies wavelet coefficients (1/2, -1/2), a method that can simultaneously eliminate an unwanted large solvent peak and noise peaks from NMR data has been developed. Noise elimination was accomplished by shift-averaging the time domain NMR data after a large solvent peak was suppressed by SVD. The algorithms took advantage of the WT, giving excellent results for the noise elimination in the Gaussian type NMR spectral lines of NMR data pretreated with SVD, providing superb results in the adjustment of phase and magnitude of the spectrum. SVD and shift averaged Haar wavelet methods were quantitatively evaluated in terms of threshold values and signal to noise (S/N) ratio values.

This paper describes the concept and basic technique of measuring torsional operational deflection shapes using a laser-based torsional vibration meter, a dual-channel FFT analyzer and operational deflection shapes software running on a PC. Torsional Operational Deflection Shapes (TODS) is defined similar to ODS (Operational Deflection Shapes), with the exception the TODS designates the operational deflection shapes of structures vibrating in a rotational, or angular, degree of freedom. Thus the TODS measurements can be applied to rotating shafts and the results of such a measurement are shown. In some cases it may be great benefit to apply order tracking and/or synchronous time domain averaging techniques in order to avoid smearing and reduce noise problems.

Fuel cell power system is one of the most promising energy source for the alternative energy because it has unique advantages such as high energy density, no power drop during operation, and feasible to make compact size. However, due to very low response time, fuel cell is difficult to correspond to drastic load changes and start-up operation. For solving these problem, fuel cell power system must include energy storage device such as Li-Poly battery or super capacitor. Therefore, bi-directional DC-DC converter must be required for this storage device and fuel cell-PCS control. This paper presents a design and modeling of the bi-directional DC/DC converter. Firstly, we present modeling the boost and buck mode of the bi-directional converter through both PWM switch model and state space averaging technique. Secondly, in order to minimize output ripple and transient response overshoot, we have two identical DC-DC converters interleaved and adopt two-loop voltage-current controller. The proposed bi-directional DC-DC converter's modeling method and control design have been verified with computer simulation and experimentation.

A DMT transceiver recovers the sampling time from reserved sub-carriers, the pilots. Since the pilots are available after the FFT, the symbol synchronization must be done before sample synchronization. In DMT VDSL system, symbol synchronization is handled separately from sample synchronization, although the two processes are intimately related. The DMT symbol itself contains sufficient information, the cyclic extension, for symbol synchronization. Using only the sign bit of received signal, the Maximum Likelihood Estimation solution is derived. The Tx windowing in the transmitter of DMT VDSL system results in the blurring of MLE peaks. We propose the weighted summing MLE method using the sign bit which produces the clearly sharp top of MLE peaks. The stability of symbol synchronization is improved significantly by averaging over a few symbols. This paper presents the study of the original MLE and the weighted summing MLE using sign bit. A clock difference between transmitter and receiver destroys the oahogonality of the carriers. Therefore, a receiver using asynchronous sampling must perform timing correction in the discrete-time domain. We introduce an efficient digital sample synchronization method which is based on temporal and frequency domain digital signal processing.

This paper investigates the longitudinal flight dynamics and stability of flapping-wing micro air vehicles. Periodic external forces and moments due to the flapping motion characterize the dynamics of this system as NLTP (Non Linear Time Periodic). However, the averaging theorem can be applied to an NLTP system to obtain an NLTI (Non Linear Time Invariant) system which allows us to use a standard eigen value analysis to assess the stability of the system with linearization around a reference point. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics and stability of a hawkmoth-scale flapping-wing air vehicle by establishing an LTI (Linear Time Invariant) system model around a hovering condition. Also, a direct time integration of full nonlinear equations of motion of the flapping-wing micro air vehicle is conducted to see how the longitudinal flight dynamics appear in the time domain beyond the reference point, i.e. hovering condition. In the study, the flapping-wing air vehicle exhibited three distinct dynamic modes of motion in the longitudinal plane of motion: two stable subsidence modes and one unstable oscillatory mode. The unstable oscillatory mode is found to be a combination of a pitching velocity state and a forward/backward velocity state.
