본 논문에서는 지형의 형태 파악에 주로 이용되는 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상의 화질을 저해하는 주된 요소인 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 웨이블렛 변환 기반 MAD순서통계량 알고리즘을 논의한다. 효과적인 영상개선을 위하여 SAR 영상에 근사부분대역의 웨이블렛 계수에 가중평균(Weighted average)법으로 영상처리하고 상세 부분대역의 웨이블렛 계수에 중앙절대편차(MAD : Median Absolute Deviation)를 이용한 임계값을 설정하여 왜곡요소를 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 특히 제안 방법의 임계값은 잡음과 같은 왜곡요소를 배재하고 영상의 통계량을 고려하여 설정하였다. 제안된 방법은 실시간처리를 보장하기 위하여 DSP와 FPGA를 이용한 하드웨어로 구현하였으며 Xilinx FPGA를 사용하여 실험 하였다.

내용기반 영상검색 분야에서 색, 질감, 모양 등과 같은 영상의 시각적인 내용을 표현하기 위하여 수치화한 특징들이 많이 제안되었다. 이런 특징들은 모두 독립적이라고 가정하기 때문에 한 특징 벡터를 추출할 때는 다른 특징들과의 상관성을 전혀 고려하지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 색과 질감 사이의 관계를 고려하여 새로운 CCE(channel color energy) 특징을 제안한다. 자연 영상을 대상으로 한 실험결과를 분석한 결과 제안하는 방법이 정규 가중거리 비교 방법과 SCFT(sequential chromatic Fourier transform) 기반 색 질감 방법에 비해 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents an adaptive image interpolation method using a pixel-based neighbor embedding which is modified from the patch-based neighbor embedding of contemporary super resolution algorithms. Conventional interpolation methods for high resolution detect at least 16-directional edges in order to remove zig-zaging effects and selectively choose the interpolation strategy according to the direction and value of edge. Thus, they require much computation and high complexity. In order to develop a simple interpolation method preserving edge's directional shape, the proposed algorithm adopts the simplest Haar wavelet and suggests a new pixel-based embedding scheme. First, the low-quality image but high resolution, magnified into 1 octave above, is acquired using an adaptive 8-directional interpolation based on the high frequency coefficients of the wavelet transform. Thereafter, the pixel embedding process updates a high resolution pixel of the magnified image with the weighted sum of the best matched pixel value, which is searched at its low resolution image. As the results, the proposed scheme is simple and removes zig-zaging effects without any additional process.

Calorimetric study in conjunction with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study was carried out on the blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with isotactic, atactic and syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (i-, a-, and s-PMMA). From the differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) measurements, the three types of blends show a depression of the melting temperatures. This indicates that PEO is compatible with i-, a-, and s-PMMA. But the largest melting point depressions of PEO are always found in the blends with s-PMMA. For PEO/a-PMMA and PEO/s-PMMA, the degree of crystallinity as a function of composition deviates substantially from that of the ideal blend in which no interaction between the components exists. The FTIR spectra of all three types of blends are recorded. In order to observe the microstructural changes of PEO in blends, we analyzed the spectra using digital weighted subtraction and addition techniques. It was concluded that the microstructures of PEO are strongly perturbed by the PMMA's. Among these blends PEO microstructure in PEO/s-PMMA blends is most greatly influenced. It indicates that the blending is most preferred with s-PMMA than a- and i-PMMA. It can be explained on the basis of the molecular structure of PMMA's.

본 논문은 H.264 동영상 부호화를 위한 적응적인 양자화 행렬 선택방법을 제안한다. 기존의 H.264 양자화 방법은 각 프레임에 동일한 양자화 행렬을 적용하기 때문에 영상의 지역적 특성을 고려하지 못해 코딩 효율이 저하될 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하고자 프레임 전체에 동일한 양자화 행렬을 적용하는 대신 매크로블록 단위로 블록이 가지는 방향성을 이용해 적응적으로 양자화 행렬을 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 각 블록의 방향성을 공간적으로 인접 블록의 인트라 예측모드 특성을 이용하여 결정한다. 방향성이 존재하는 블록에 대해서는 제안한 방식의 가중치 양자화 행렬을 적용하고, 방향성이 존재하지 않는 블록에 대해서는 기존의 양자화 행렬을 적용한다. 가중치 양자화 행렬은 인트라 예측모드에 따라 블록의 변환 계수의 통계적인 분포를 기반으로 설계되었기 때문에, 예측모드의 특성에 적합하게 양자화된다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 BD rate 측면에서 기존 방법 대비 약 2% 정도의 부호화 효율이 상승됨을 확인할 수 있다.

PURPOSES : This study is to predict the Sound Pressure Level(SPL) obtained from the Noble Close ProXimity(NCPX) method by using the Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm employing the taylor series and Linear Regression Analysis based on the least square method. The objective of utilizing EKF Algorithm is to consider stochastically the effect of error because the Regression analysis is not the method for the statical approach. METHODS : For measuring the friction noise between the surface and vehicle's tire, NCPX method was used. With NCPX method, SPL can be obtained using the frequency analysis such as Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT), Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and Constant Percentage Bandwidth(CPB) Analysis. In this research, CPB analysis was only conducted for deriving A-weighted SPL from the sound power level in terms of frequencies. EKF Algorithm and Regression analysis were performed for estimating the SPL regarding the vehicle velocities. RESULTS : The study has shown that the results related to the coefficient of determination and RMSE from EKF Algorithm have been improved by comparing to Regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS : The more the vehicle is fast, the more the SPL must be high. But in the results of EKF Algorithm, SPLs are irregular. The reason of that is the EKF algorithm can be reflected by the error covariance from the measurements.

본 논문은 가중 퍼지소속함수 기반 신경망(Neural Network with Weighted fuzzy Membership Funcstions, NEWFM)을 이용하여 심전도 신호로부터 조기심실수축(Premature Ventricular Contraction, PVC)을 판별하는 퍼지규칙을 추출하고 있다. NEWFM은 자기적응적(self adaptive) 가중 퍼지소속함수를 가지고 주어진 입력 데이터로부터 학습하여 퍼지규칙을 생성하고 이를 기반으로 정상 파형과 PVC 파형을 구분한다. 분류 성능 평가를 위하여 MIT/BIH 부정맥 데이터 베이스를 사용하였으며, NEWFM의 입력은 심전도의 파형에 웨이블릿 변환을 적용하여 추출된 웨이블릿 계수를 사용하였다. 여기에 비중복면적 분산 측정법을 적용하여 중요도가 낮은 계수를 제거하면서 최소의 m 개 특징입력만을 사용한 하이퍼박스로 단순화 시킨다. 이러한 방법으로 추출된 2개의 웨이블릿 계수를 사용한 퍼지규칙은 $96\%$의 PVC 분류성능을 보여준다.

This paper describes a new algorithm for encoding spectral envelope in the time domain alias cancellation (TDAC) part of G.729.1. The spectral envelope and modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) coefficients of the weighted code-excited linear predictive (CELP) coding error in lower-band and the higher-band input signal are encoded in the TDAC part. In order to reduce allocation bits for spectral envelope coding, a new algorithm using sub-band correlation between adjacent frames is proposed. In addition, to improve the quality of decoded signals, two bit allocation strategies using reduced bits from the proposed algorithm are proposed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of objective quality and bit reduction rates. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm increases the quality of sounds significantly.

In digital communicatioin networks, speech recognition systems conventionally reconstruct speech followed by extracting feature [parameters. In this paper, we consider a useful approach by incorporating speech coding parameters into the speech recognizer. Most speech coders employed in the networks represent line spectral pairs as spectral parameters. In order to improve the recognition performance of the LSP-based speech recognizer, we introduce two different ways: one is to devise weighed distance measures of LSPs and the other is to transform LSPs into a new feature set, named a pseudo-cepstrum. Experiments on speaker-independent connected-digit recognition showed that the weighted distance measures significantly improved the recognition accuracy than the unweighted one of LSPs. Especially we could obtain more improved performance by using PCEP. Compared to the conventional methods employing mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, the proposed methods achieved higher performance in recognition accuracies.

A mobile propagation characteristics for wideband DS-SS (Direct Sequence-Spectrum) signal is presented. Existing narrowband model is extended for the wideband pulse with an arbitrary shape. The received DS-SS signal in the frequency domain is the transfer function of the propagation channel weighted by the inverse Fourier transform. In this proposed method, received signal spectral density, instantaneous waveform, and Doppler spectrum of DS-SS signal via either Rayleigh of Rician channel can be obtained easily. Simulation results match well with both simulated theoretical fading statistics and classical theory. As expected, the extraction of chip timing in Rician fading shown to be more tractable than Rayleigh fading.
