The proposed algorithm can always set up the optimal threshold value regardless of channel characteristics using an adaptive threshold establishment method that determines the threshold level according to channel noise power, and then it uses the specially designed training symbols that can make the algorithm's estimation performance be less sensitive to power delay profile variation in a multipath channel. In result, the estimation performance of the proposed technique is less affected by channel characteristic variation.

In this paper, we proposed a advanced approach to resolve the trade-off problem for the threshold value determining the photo-consistency in the previous algorithms. The threshold value for the surface voxel is substituted the photo-consistency value of the inside voxel. As iterating the voxel coloring process, the threshold is approached to the optimal value for the individual surface voxel. we present an energy minimization formulation of the binary labeling problem that surface voxels classify into opacity or transparency. The energy formula consists of the data term and the smoothness term. As considering neighboring voxels in the labeling problem, the unevenness of reconstructed surface is reduced. The labeling whose energy is the global minimum can be computed using a graph cut.

Applications of thresholding technique are based on the assumption that object and background pixels in a digital image can be distinguished by their gray level values. For the segmentation of more complex images, it is necessary to resort to multiple threshold selection techniques. This paper describes a new method for multiple threshold selection of gray level images which are not clearly distinguishable from the background. The proposed method consists of three main stages. In the first stage, a probability distribution function for a gray level histogram of an image is derived. Cluster points are defined according to the probability distribution function. In the second stage, fuzzy partition matrix of the probability distribution function is generated through the fuzzy clustering process. Finally, elements of the fuzzy partition matrix are classified as clusters according to gray level values by using max-membership method. Boundary values of classified clusters are selected as multiple threshold. In order to verify the performance of the developed algorithm, automatic inspection process of ball grid array is presented.

무선 통신 환경에서 간섭과 잡음으로 인한 채널 추정 오류는 데이터 검출을 위한 등화 성능을 현저하게 저하시킨다. 포스트 프로세싱은 채널 추정 이후에 이러한 추정 오류를 줄이기 위한 작업이며, 여기서는 소수의 채널 계수만이 무선 채널의 다중 경로에 의한 신호 성분을 갖는 무선 채널의 특성을 이용하여 신호 성분을 포함하지 않은 계수를 선별하고 이를 제거함으로써 채널 추정 오류를 줄이는 방법을 위한 순환 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 알고리즘은 잡음 분산을 기준으로 문턱값을 결정하고, 그 문턱 값보다 작은 계수는 신호성분을 포함하지 않는다고 간주하여 이를 제거하였다. 제안된 순환 알고리즘은 잡음 분산의 추정치를 반복이 진행됨에 따라 갱신하여 이를 기준으로 구한 문턱값을 이용한 포스트 프로세싱을 반복함으로써 채널 추정 성능을 개선시킨다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법과 유사한 복잡도를 갖는 반복 횟수를 적용하는 경우에 월등히 성능이 개선되며, 특히 반복 횟수를 조절함으로써 처리 시간과 채널 추정 성능을 최적화할 수 있는 유연성을 갖고 있다.

잡음은 음성과 관련된 시스템의 성능을 제한하는 주된 원인이기 때문에 음성향상과 관련된 연구는 꾸준히 계속되어왔다. 전통적인 음성향상 방법은 무성음과 잡음을 구분하지 알기 때문에 잡음제거 과정에서 무성음이 함께 제거되는 단점이 있으며, 웨이블릿 기반의 전통적인 잡음제거 방법은 각 대역마다 동일한 문턱값을 사용하기 때문에 시변 환경에서 성능이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이 단점들을 개선하기위해 다중대역 파워 차감법과 Perceptual 웨이블릿 패킷 분해를 이용한 웨이블릿 기반의 개선된 음성향상 방법을 제안한다. 전처리 과정으로 다중대역 파워 차감법을 사용하여 광대역 잡음을 제거하고 뮤지컬 잡음의 발생을 줄이며, psycho-acoustic 모델 기반 Perceptual 웨이블릿 패킷으로 신호를 분해한 후 각 웨이블릿 노드의 엔트로피 비율과 음성검출을 이용하여 무성음/유성음/잡음을 구분한다. 구분된 신호에 따라 각 웨이블릿 노드마다의 문턱값을 기준으로 웨이블릿 Shrinkage를 적용하여 잡음을 제거하고 무성음이나 파워가 작은 유성음이 제거되는 오류를 최소화한다. 또한 잡음 파워 추정 과정에 적응적으로 망각 계수를 선택하여 잡음 파워 추정 오류를 최소화한다.

Thirteen InGaAs/InGaAsP separate-confinement heterostructure multiple quantum well lasers were designed such that the strain in the active layer from 0.9% compressive strain to 1.4% tensile, and their threshold current density was caluculated to see the effects of strain on the threshold current density. The well width was adjusted such that the bandgap of the quantum well is 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, For the calculation of the band structure and transition matrix element needed for the gain calculation, a block diagonalized 8$\times$8 second-order $\to{k}.\to{p}$ Hamiltonian was used to incorporate the conduction band nonparabolicity and the valence band mixing. The threshold current density shows discontinuity at 0.4% tensile strain where the first heavy-hole subband and the first light-hole subband cross and at 0.5% tensile strain where the second conduction subband begins to exist. The threshold current density at room temperature has a maximum around these 0.4-0.5% tensile strains, and as strain varies in either direction it decreases first and then increases a little after a local minimum. This calculated trend is consistent with the other reported experimental results. We discussed the results of this calculation in comparison with other theoretical or experimental papers on the effect of strain.

We present various optimal grating structures which give the low threshold gain, good modulation characteristics, small effective linewidth enhancement factor, and large fabrication tolerance in complex-coupled MQW DFB lasers with absorptive gratings. To obtain these, we calculate the complex coupling coefficients using the extended additional layer method and the threshold gain including the modal loss in the absorptive grating region for rectangular and trapezoidal gratings. Based on the comparison of the results for various possible absorptive grating structures, the design guidelines are presented to obtain the low threshold gain or large fabrication tolerance. Among the grating structures studied, the double grating structure consisting of the absorptive grating on the index grating has the largest fabrication tolerance for the threshold gain and the coupling strength. The fabrication tolerance for the coupling ratio is very large for all the grating structures studied.

The multiuser detection (MUD) based wireless receiver requires more accurate channel estimation than the single user detection (SUD) schemes such as Rake receiver, and hence the post processing is required for MUD to clean up the estimated channel coefficients by eliminating the noise only coefficients. The adaptive post processing method is proposed in order to provide more accurate channel responses and the power level of the background noise and interferences at the cost of the negligible processing delay compared to the conventional method based on the threshold test with the threshold value relative to the noise variance. The simulations are performed in 3GPP-TDD mode environment. The results show that the noise estimation error of the proposed method is maximum $10\%$, which is much smaller than $50\%$ maximum error of the conventional method.

In this paper, we present a new multiple description embedded zerotree wavelet coding method using the two splitted thresholds. We first model a half EZW coder and then we present multiple description coder which has two coding channels using wide threshold EZW(WTEZW) coders. To evaluate the performance of the proposed coder, we provide an image coding applications with two descriptions and compare MDC image coding results reported to date.
