The split-screen function on the multipoint control unit(MCU) which is usually using processing method based on pixel domain has many problems for manipulating the video signal in real-time. Although the researches and the developements to cope ith such problems are processing, these have too complex architecture to implement and are limited to method for H.261 video signal. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism for split-screen that can actually apply to ISO/IEC MPEG video standard. The new method that is proposed in this paper do the processes in complete compression domain, thus it is suitable for the application of real-time multipoint multimedia communication service. By simple interpreting and manipulating the MPEG video element stream, the split-screen functional module can be implemented easily and the result of the procedures does not accompany image degradation at all. Finally, the complexity of implementation, the aspect for processing delay and the loss of image quality as compared to that resulting in the case of applying the previous split-screen method has been investigated. And it is confirmed that the proposed mechanism has a significant advantage as a split-screen method.

In this paper, we describe the implementation and performance of a dual-mode Software Define Radio (SDR) smart antenna base station system. SDR technology enables a communication system to be reconfigured through software downloads to the flexible hardware platform that is implemented using programmable devices such as Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and microprocessors. The presented base station channel card comprises the physical layer (pHY) including the baseband modem as well as the beamforming module. This channel card is designed to support TDD High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) as well as Wireless Broadband Portable Internet (WiBro) utilizing the SDR technology. We first describe the operations and functions required in WiBro and TDD HSDPA. Then, we explain the channel card design procedure and hardware implementation. Finally, we evaluate WiBro and TDD HSDPA performance by simulation and actual channel-card-based processing. Our smart antenna base-station dual-mode channel card shows flexibility and tremendous performance gains in terms of communication capacity and cell coverage.

H.264 technology is considered as the heart of the next-generation video codec standard. Europe and other countries have actually specified H.264 technology as the video codec standard for HD broadcasting. However, due to the complexity of algorithm, it is still a difficult job to implement HD-level H.264 decoders in real-time software. In this paper, I have restricted a part of the decoding process, in order to implement an H.264 software video decoder which guarantees a real-time operation, and suggest an H.264 decoder that adaptively selects the algorithm to minimize image degradation. Performance of the suggested H.264 decoder was compared and verified through a PC simulation. As a consequence, when the suggested decoder was used in an environment where real-time decoding was difficult, it has achieved the minimal image degradation as well as real-time decoding in most cases.

In order to achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, wireless acceleration sensor node is described on the design of hardware components and embedded operation software. Secondly, the vibration-based damage monitoring scheme of the steel girder bolt-connection member is described. The damage monitoring scheme performed global damage occurrence alarming and damage localization estimation by the acceleration response feature analysis. The global damage alarming is applied to the correlation coefficient of power spectral density. The damage localization estimation is applied to the frequency-based damage detection technique and the mode-shape-based damage detection technique. Finally, the performance of the vibration-based damage monitoring scheme is evaluated for detecting the bolt-connection member damage on a lab-scale steel girder.

Lipreading has been suggested as one of the methods to improve the performance of speech recognition in noisy environment. However, existing methods are developed and implemented only in software. This paper suggests a hardware design for real-time lipreading. For real-time processing and feasible implementation, we decompose the lipreading system into three parts; image acquisition module, feature vector extraction module, and recognition module. Image acquisition module capture input image by using CMOS image sensor. The feature vector extraction module extracts feature vector from the input image by using parallel block matching algorithm. The parallel block matching algorithm is coded and simulated for FPGA circuit. Recognition module uses HMM based recognition algorithm. The recognition algorithm is coded and simulated by using DSP chip. The simulation results show that a real-time lipreading system can be implemented in hardware.

A cadastral map that is base map on Land Information System is divided by two categories, graphical and digital cadastre. And digital cadastre can be displayed with location coordinates of nodes that depict parcel boundary on digital cadastral records. The transformation of digital cadastral records means that imported text data of node coordinate would be transformed into system data. This study was implemented to search reasons of errors resulted from transformation of graphic data and then to analyze the accuracy in terms of Position and area. For this, checking of software used in Geo-Spatial Information System was implemented at first and it was found that the accuracy is up by using double precision in coordinate transformation. On the position accuracy the errors at nodes was erased during making topology and the errors did not effect other nodes. On the area may the area errors because of being in error limit of allowable area had no problems in using of system.

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) algorithms using GPS code pseudo-range measurements were developed and their accuracy was validated for the purpose of implementing them on a portable device. The group delay, relativistic effect, and satellite-antenna phase center offset models were applied as fundamental corrections for PPP. GPS satellite orbit and clock offsets were taken from the International GNSS Service official products which were interpolated using the best available algorithms. Tropospheric and ionospheric delays were obtained by applying mapping functions to the outputs from scientific GPS data processing software and Global Ionosphere Maps, respectively. When the developed algorithms were tested for four days of data, the horizontal and vertical positioning accuracies were 0.8-1.6 and 1.6-2.2 meters, respectively. This level of performance is comparable to that of Differential GPS, and further improvements and fine-tuning of this suite of PPP algorithms and its implementation at a portable device should be utilized in a variety of surveying and Location-Based Service applications.

As the system development environment moves from single core to multi core-based platforms, it becomes more important to maintain compatibility between single core-based implementations and multi core-based implementations. Moreover, it is very important to support real-time on multi core platforms especially in cases of embedded software or test equipments which need real-time as well as correctness. Since Windows operating system dopes not support real-time in itself, it has been supporting real-time using expensive third-party solutions such as RTX or INtime. So as to reduce this kind of development expenses, in this paper, we propose RTiK-MP(Real-Time implant Kernel-Multi Processor) which supports real-time on Windows using the Local APIC of x86 architectures, and evaluate the performance of the proposed RTiK-MP after deploying it on portable missile test equipments.

미래 한국의 달궤도선 임무에 대비하여 달 근접 궤도 전파기인(orbit propagator) YSPLOP ver. 1(Yonsei Lunar Precise Orbit Propagator version 1)을 개발 하였다. 개발된 궤도 전파기의 성능은 상용 소프트웨어인 STK Astrogator를 이용하여 검증되었다. 개발된 궤도 전파기를 이용, 달 궤도선의 운용에 있어서 다양한 섭동력들이 궤도선의 수명(orbital decay)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. YSPLOP ver. 1은 정밀한 달 중심 탐사선의 위치산출을 위하여 M-EME2000 (Moon-Centered, Earth Mean Equator and Equinox of J2000) 좌표계, M-MME2000 (Moon-Centered, Moon Mean Equator and IAU vector of epoch J2000) 좌표계 그리고 M-MEPMD (Moon-Centered, Moon Mean Equator and Prime Meridian) 좌표계를 이용하여 탐사선의 상태(state) 정보를 산출한다. 또한 태양, 지구, 달, 화성, 목성의 중력에 의한 섭동력 및 태양풍에 의한 영향을 포함할 수 있도록 설계되었으며, 달 근접 궤도선의 궤도 운동에 가장 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 섭동력인 달의 비대칭 중력장에 의한 영향 또한 고려하도록 하였다. 달의 비대칭 중력장 모델 (Lunipotential model)은 LP165p 모델이 사용되었으며 행성의 정밀한 위치 산출을 위하여 JPL의 DE405 천체력이 사용되었다. 개발된 궤도 전파기를 이용, 달고도 100 km, 궤도 경사각 $90^{\circ}$인 달 중심의 극궤도를 약 30일 동안 전파한 결과, YSPLOP ver. 1의 성능은 STK Astrogator와 비교하여 보았을 때 약 수 m의 오차를 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 달의 극궤도 탐사선의 궤도 수명을 분석한 결과, 최소한 달의 비대칭 중력장이 70 by 70 이상으로 고려되어야 함을 확인하였으며 이때 달 궤도선의 수명은 약 160일으로 나타났다. 아울러 달 근접 환경에서의 지구 중력에 의한 섭동력은 달 궤도선의 운동에 있어서 무시 할 수 없는 정도의 많은 영향을 끼치고 있음을 확인하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 개발된 궤도 전파기는 미래 한국의 달 궤도선 및 착륙선의 임무 설계시 사용 될 수 있다. 또한 이 연구에서 제시된 달 근접 환경에서의 다양한 섭동력들이 달 궤도선의 운동에 미치는 영향에 대한 해석 결과는 추후 달 근접 임무 설계시 고려되어야 하는 섭동력들의 기본 사양을 제공할 것이다.
