In this paper, we propose a novel focus measure that determines in-focus and out-of-focus region in an image. In addition, we achieved extended depth of field by blending the acquired image and Wiener filtered image using a decision map based on the designed focus measure. Since conventional focus measures are based on the amount of high frequency components in an acquired image, the measures may not be accurate if there exist high frequency components in out-of-focused region. To overcome the problem, we designed the novel focus measure based on effective band pass filtering. In simulations and experiments, the proposed method showed better performance than existing methods.

Fixed systems are limited in their performances to achieve the more complicated and higher level operations. Accordingly adaptive system, which adjusts itself in accorance with the time-varying environments, has been introduced to camouflarge the defficiency of fixed systems in varying environment, and adaptive filter is the outstanding fields in adaptive system. Adaptive recursive filter is far more efficient in that it can perform the signal processing with relatively lower filter order, but there remains severe problem in stability(convergency). On the basis of hyperstability introduced by V.M. Popov, a hyperstable new adaptive recursive filter is introduced which is theoretically guaranteed in stability. In this paper a more stable algorithm for adaptive recursive filter is devised.

A new compact UWB bandpass filter with sharp-rejection and low insertion-loss is designed in this paper, using the parallel transmission line with SIR structure. An Example filter is firstly theoretically designed by the proposed synthesis procedure, the optimized by EM simulator, fabricated in microstrip line and finally characterized by a network analyzer. A good agreement between the simulation results and prototype validates the proposed UWB bandpass filter. The designed filter also realized a sharp rejection of higher order with a relatively small size which is proper for the UWB communication system.

The conventional detection methods developed for spatially-multiplexed MIMO systems such as OSIC and QRD-M show performance difference for each user depending on the order of detection when they are applied to detection of multi-user signals in uplink multiuser systems based on collaborative spatial multiplexing. In this paper, a signal detection method for uplink multiuser systems based on collaborative spatial multiplexing is proposed to provide similar performance for each user while its performance is close to the case of ML detection. Compared with QRD-M method, computational complexity of the proposed signal detection method is similar in the case of QPSK, and significantly lower in the case of high modulation order with 16-QAM and 64-QAM.

DS-CDMA system requeires a power-efficient transmission and reception scheme to increase capacity. In this paper, coherent detection of DS-CDMA system with M-ary orthogonal signaling is considered, and multistage decision-directed channel estimator is proposed. The multistage decision-directed channel estimator is based on the fact that better channel estimation can be obtained by using the final decisions of the detector with a conventional decision-directed channel estimator. In this scheme, symbol detector and channel estimator operate algernaely. by simulation, it is shown that the proposed method achieves performance gain capare to conventional method, specially at low signal to noise ratio over fast time-variant channel with diversity.

In this paper, local and global error estimates for the element-free Galerkin (EFG) method are proposed. The essence of proposed error estimates is to use the difference between the values of the projected stress and these given directly by the EFG solution. The stress projection can be obtained simply by taking product of shape function based on a different domain of influence with the stresses at nodes. In this study, it was found that the effectivity index is optimized if the domain of influence in stress projection procedure is the smallest that retains regularity of the matrices in EFG. Numerical tests are shown for various 1D and 2D examples illustrating the good effectiveness of the proposed error estimator in the global energy norm and in the local error estimates.

In this paper, we consider the problem for finding a vertex sequence of the directed cycle graph from the individual neighborhood information on a reconfigurable mesh(in short, RMESH). This problem can be solved in linear time using a sequential algorithm. However, it is difficult to develop a sublinear time parallel algorithm for the problem because of its sequential nature. All kinds of polygons can be represented by directed cycles, hence a solution of the problem may be used to solving problems in which a polygon should be constructed from the adjacency information for each vertex. In this paper, we present a constant time $n{\times}n^2$ RMESH algorithm for the problem with n vertices.

This paper presents a method of constructing the Linear Digital Switching Function(LDSF) over finite fields. The proposed method is as following. First of all, we extract the input/output relationship of linear characteristics for the given digital switching functions, Next, we convert the input/output relationship to Directed Cyclic Graph(DCG) using basic gates adder and coefficient multiplier that are defined by mathematical properties in finite fields. Also, we propose the new factorization method for matrix characteristics equation that represent the relationship of the input/output characteristics. The proposed method have properties of generalization and regularity. Also, the proposed method is possible to any prime number multiplication expression.

In this paper, phase-locked loop (PLL) of a combinational architecture consisting of an adaptive bandwidth and fractional-N is presented to improve performances and reduce the order of ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator while maintaining equivalent or better performance with fast locking. The architecture of adaptive bandwidth PLL was simulated by HSPICE using 0.35m CMOS parameters. The behavioral simulation of the proposed adaptive bandwidth fractional-N PLL with a ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator was carried out by using MatLab to determine if the architecture could achieve the objectives. The HSPICE simulation showed that this type of PLL was able to fast locking, and reduce fractional spurs about 20dB.

이 논문에서는 시 공간적 토양수분 변화를 파악하기 위해 다년간 축적된 실측 토양수분 데이터를 이용하여 단변량 시계열 분석을 하였다. 지형에 따른 토양수분 변화를 알아보기 위해 경기도 파주에 위치한 설마천 유역의 산지사면 중 한 단면을 선정하였으며, 깊이에 따른 변동성은 깊이 10cm와 30cm에서 측정한 토양수분 데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한, 연도별 토양수분의 변화를 파악하고 토양수분을 예측하기 위해 2010-2013년의 토양수분 데이터를 일단위로 단변량 모델링을 시도하였다. 그 결과, 연도별 변화에 따른 경향성은 보이지 않았으며 대부분의 지점에서 ARMA(1, 1) 또는 ARMA(1, 0) 모형으로 모의되었다. 2시간 간격의 1-2개월 단기간 토양수분 데이터를 모의한 선행연구와 달리 본 연구에서는 낮은 차수의 모형을 보였다. 지형적 토양수분 거동을 살펴보면 상부사면에 위치하고 있는 지점에서는 모두 ARMA(1, 1)로 표현되지만 하부사면에 위치한 지점들은 연도나 심도에 따라 ARMA(1, 0)으로 모의된다. 단변량 모형의 정확도를 알아보기 위해 R2와 RMSE를 비교하였다. 10cm 깊이에서는 경향성을 보이지 않으나, 30cm 깊이에서는 사면하부로 갈수록 R2는 작아지고 RMSE는 커져, 하부사면에서의 모델링이 상부사면에 비해 정확도가 낮음을 보였다. 또한 2012년 토양수분 자료를 이용하여 2013년 토양수분을 예측하기 위해 2012년 매개변수와 2013년 전일 데이터를 이용하여 예측하고자 하는 일단위 토양수분을 구하였다. 그 결과 $R^2=0.646-0.807$, RMSE=1.758-4.802의 정확도를 나타냈다.
