The network induced transmission delay deteriorates the performance and stability of the real-time distributed control system on LonWorks over IP (LonWorks/IP) virtual device network (VDN). LonWorks/IP virtual device network is an integrated form of LonWorks device network and IP data network. The time delay in servo control on the LonWorks/IP-based VDN has highly stochastic nature. In the real-time distributed servo applications for predictive maintenance on the factory floor, timely response is essential.

SURF is a robust local invariant feature descriptor and has been used in many applications such as object recognition. Even though this algorithm has similar matching accuracy compared to the SIFT, which is another popular feature extraction algorithm, it has advantage in matching time. However, these descriptors do not consider relative location information of extracted interesting points to guarantee rotation invariance. Also, since they use gray image of original color image, they do not use the color information of images, either. In this paper, we propose a method for improving matching performance of SURF descriptor using the color and relative location information of interest points. The location information is built from the angles between the line connecting the centers of interest points and the orientation line constructed for the center of each interest points. For the color information, color histogram is constructed for the region of each interest point. We show the performance of our scheme through experiments.

The spectrum sensing is one of the fundamental functions to realize the cognitive radios. One of problems in the spectrum sensing is that the performance of spectrum sensing can be degraded due to fading and shadowing. In order to overcome the problem, cooperative spectrum sensing method is proposed, which uses a distributed detection model and can increase sensing performance. However, the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing can be still affected by the interference factors such as obstacle and malicious user. Especially, most of cooperative spectrum sensing methods only considered the stationary primary user. In the ubiquitous environment, however the mobile primary users should be considered. In order to overcome the aforementioned problem, in this paper we propose a robust spectrum detection method based on localization where we estimate the location of the mobile primary user, and then based on the location and transmission range of primary user we detect interference users if there are, and then the local sensing reporting from detected interference users are excluded in the decision fusion process. Through simulation, it is shown that the sensing performance of the proposed scheme is more accurate than that of conventional other schemes

In this paper, we design and analyze performance of Exclusive-OR based FEC (Forward error correction) system to deploy SVC video transmission service over packet-loss prone IP network. In the designed system, we adopt standard compliant Exclusive-OR based FEC scheme and apply it to be appropriate to the hierarchical layer structure of SVC video. To verify the performance of the designed Exclusive-OR based FEC system for SVC video transmission, we employ NIST-NET based transport simulator. By the SVC video transmission using the NIST-NET based simulator, we confirm the error resilient transmission performance of the designed Exclusive-OR based FEC system.

This paper presents a new technique that enhances the performance of the smart antenna system especially in signal environments of wide angular spread by adopting a weight vector obtained from two eigenvectors of theautocovariance matrix of the received data. While the conventional beamformingtechnique employs only one eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue, the proposed algorithm uses two eigenvectors corresponding to the largest and second largest eigenvalue in such a way that it can be robust enough to the signal environments of wide angular spread. An efficient adaptive procedure is shown to verify that the optimal weight vector consisting of the two eigenvectors is obtained with a reasonable complexity(3.5$N_2$+ 12N) and accuracy. it is also shown in this paper that the numerical results obtained from the proposed adaptive procedure well agree with those obtained from a commercial tool computing the eigen-function of MATLABTM.

In this paper, we investigate channel capacity of two kinds of uplink OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) schemes, i.e. ZCZ (Zero Correlation Zone) code time-spread OFDMA and sparse SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Mmultiple Access) robust to access timing offset (TO) among multiple users. In order to reflect the practical condition, we consider not only access TO among multiple users but also peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which is one of hot issues of uplink OFDMA. In the case with access TO among multiple users, the amplified signal of users by power control might affect a severe interference to signals of other users. Meanwhile, amplified signal by considering distance between user and base station might be distorted due to the limit of amplifier and thus the performance might degrade. In order to achieve the maximum channel capacity, we investigate the combinations of transmit power so called ASF (adaptive scaling factor) by numerical simulations. We check that the channel capacity of the case with ASF increases compared to the case with considering only distance i.e. ASF=1. From the simulation results, In the case of high signal to noise ratio (SNR), ZCZ code time-spread OFDMA achieves higher channel capacity compared to sparse block SC-FDMA. On the other hand, in the case of low SNR, the sparse block SC-FDMA achieves better performance compared to ZCZ time-spread OFDMA.

강인한 얼굴 인식 시스템을 만들기 위해서는 안경의 제거가 중요한 요소이다. 이를 위해서는 뛰어난 성능의 안경 검출 방법이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 안경의 유무 판단에 관한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 영상은 조명 부분과 반사부분의 곱으로 이루어져 있다. 얼굴의 경우 안경 고유의 반사계수와 얼굴 고유의 반사계수가 다른 점에 착안하여 anisotropic smoothing 방법을 이용하여 입력 얼굴 영상에서의 반사 부분을 얻고, 이를 이용하여 안경의 반사 부분을 얼굴의 반사부분에서 검출한 뒤 이진화한다. 이후, 이진화 된 안경 픽셀 수를 이용하여 안경의 유무를 판단한다.

본 논문에서는 단일 채널 디지털 오디오 신호에서 스펙트로그램과 영상 처리 기법을 이용하여 크래클 잡음을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 오디오 신호의 주파수 특성을 효율적으로 분석하기 위해 스펙트로그램을 특정 컬러맵을 이용하여 컬러 영상으로 변환한 후 영상 처리 기법을 적용하여 크래클 잡음이 존재하는 구간을 검출하여 디지털 오디오 복원에 이용한다. 특히 고전영화에 나타나는 크래클 잡음은 에너지와 신호 길이가 음성이나 음악 신호와 유사하여 기존의 스펙트럴 음성 검출 기법으로는 검출에 어려움이 있다. 이에 비해 스펙트로그램 영상에서는 크래클 잡음이 다른 신호들과 구분되는 특성을 나타내므로 영상 처리 기법을 적용하여 경계 검출과 Hough 변환에 의한 선 검출을 이용하여 크래클 잡음을 검출한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 고전 영화 디지털 오디오 복원에 적용하였으며 크래클 잡음 검출에 우수한 성능을 보여준다.
