In this paper, We propose a method which prevents severe traffic jam by controlling traffic signal by itself based on image-processed information and fuzzy logic. The detailed idea of this method is first to let a closed monitoring camera gather the number of cars which show the flow of traffic the designated roads which are commonly considered to have traffic. After executing the image processing method on each image gathered from the monitoring camera, this system determines the changing timing of traffic signal based on fuzzy logic. Also, this image processing method shows good performance in real road environment because the setup background image which used in this system is designed to be updated in real time. All of good points mentioned above would lead driver and users to cost efficient and time efficient results by preventing the increase of the number of traffic on road in advance with the automatic traffic signal controlling algorithm based on the fuzzy logic.

In OFDM-based very high-speed communication systems, FFT/IFFT processor should have several properties of low-area and low-power consumption as well as high throughput and low processing latency. Thus, radix-2k MDF (multipath delay feedback) architectures by adopting pipeline and parallel processing are suitable. In MDF architecture, the feedback memory which increases in proportion to the input signal word-length has a large area and power consumption. This paper presents a feedback memory size reduction method of radix-22 MDF IFFT processor for OFDM applications. The proposed method focuses on reducing the feedback memory size in the first two stages of MDF architectures since the first two stages occupy about 75% of the total feedback memory. In OFDM transmissions, IFFT input signals are composed of modulated data and pilot, null signals. In order to reduce the IFFT input word-length, the integer mapping which generates mapped data composed of two signed integer corresponding to modulated data and pilot/null signals is proposed. By simulation, it is shown that the proposed method has achieved a feedback memory reduction up to 39% compared to conventional approach.

In this paper, we designed the VLSI array architecture for the high speed processing of the motion estimation used by block matching algorithm. We derived the one dimensional systolic array from the full search block matching algorithm. The data and control signals of the proposed systolic array are passed through adjacent processing element. So proposed architecture has temporal and spatial locality. The I/O ports exists only in the first and last processing elements of the array. This architecture has low pin counts and modular expandability. So the proposed array architecture can be cascaded for different block size and search range.

With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new functionality in the informationized society. Specially, in the specific area of still image encoding in embedded system, a new standard, JPEG2000 that improve various problem of JPEG was developed. This paper proposed a method that reduce quantity of data delivered in EBCOT(Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation) process using SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) Algorithm to optimize selection of threshold from feature of wavelet transform coefficients and to remove sign bit in LL area for the increment of compression efficiency on JPEG2000. The experimental results showed the proposed algorithm achieves more improved bit rate in embedded system.

고해상도 이미지 센서를 장착한 고가의 모바일 제품들이 확산되면서 중간값 필터에 기반을 둔 잡음 제거 필터의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이는 초박형 카메라에 내장된 이미지 센서의 물리적인 수광부 면적이 줄어듦에 따라 이미지 센서의 SNR이 떨어지기 때문이다. 게다가 영상의 해상도가 매우 높기 때문에 잡음제거 필터는 초고속으로 동작해야 한다. 따라서 잡음 제거 필터의 핵심 기능인 중간값 필터는 높은 동작주파수에서도 효과적으로 동작해야 한다. 초고속으로 동작하는 필터를 하드웨어로 구현하려면 입출력 간의 물리적 지연시간을 클럭의 주기 단위로 나누어서, 시분할하여 순차적으로 처리하는 파이프라인 구조를 가져야 한다. 파이프라인 단계는 많은 비용이 소모되는 레지스터로 구현되므로 파이프라인 단계를 줄이는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 입력부터 출력까지의 물리적 지연시간이 데이터의 수에 비례하는 기존의 중간값 필터와 달리, 데이터 수의 로그값에 비례하는 중간값 필터의 구조를 제안한다. 제안한 중간값 필터는 서로 다른 값을 가지는 데이터 집합에서의 중간값은 자신보다 큰 원소의 수와, 작은 원소의 수가 같다는 사실을 이용하며, 버블 정렬 구조에 기반을 둔 중간값 필터에 비해서 같은 동작주파수에서의 게이트 수가 25.3% 줄어든다. 중간값 필터는 잡음제거나 위색제거 등에서도 널리 사용되고 있으므로, 제안한 구조의 중간값 필터는 초고속으로 동작하는 이미지 신호 처리기의 효과적인 구현에 적합하다.

This paper presents a 13.56 MHz RFID reader that can be used as a door-lock system for smart home security. The RFID reader consists of a transmitter, a receiver, and a data processing block. To verify the operation of the developed RFID reader, we present both a PSPICE simulation for transmitter/receiver and a digital simulation for data processing block. In particular, a CRC block for error detection of received data and a Manchester decoding block for position detection of collided data are designed using VHDL. In addition, we applied a binary search algorithm for multi-tag anti-collision. The anti-collision procedure is carried out by PIC microcontroller on software. The experimental results show that the developed reader can provide the right multi-tag recognition.

시각자극 유발전위 추론시에 사용되는 평균법은 많은 회수의 단일-시도 유발전위(single-trial evoked potential)의 기록이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 평균법의 후처리기로서 Prony 방법을 적용하여 향상된 신호-대-잡음비를 제공하는 방법을 제안하였다. Prony 방법은 유발전위와 같은 잡음이 섞여 있는 신호에서 지수함수를 추론하는데 많이 적용되어져 왔다. 여러 가지 잡음 모델을 이용한 시뮬레이션과 실제 시각자극 유발전위 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 Prony 방법이 평균법의 후처리기(post-processor) 기능으로서 사용될 때, 신호의 질적인 향상 측면 뿐 아니라 평균법 사용시 단일-시도 유발전위의 기록 횟수의 단축이라는 결과도 가져옴을 보였다.

This paper describes the performance evaluation of NHD(nonhomogeneity detector) for STAP(space-time adaptive processing) airborne radar according to various normalization methods in the nonhomogeneous clutter environment. In practice, the clutter can be characterized as random variation signals, because it sometimes includes signals with very large magnitude like impulsive signal due to the system environment. The received interference signals are composed of homogeneous and nonhomogeneous data. In this situation, NHB is needed to maintain the STAP performance. The normalization using the NHD result is an effective method for removing the nonhomogeneous data. The optimum normalization can be performed by a representative value considered with a characteristic of the given data, so we propose the K-means clustering algorithm. The characteristic of random variation data due to nonhomogeneous clutters can be considered by the number of clusters, and then the representative value for selecting the homogeneous data is determined in the clustering result. In order to reflect a characteristic of the nonstationary interference data, we also investigate the algorithm for a calculation of the proper number of clusters. Through our simulations, we verified that the K-means clustering algorithm has very superior normalization and target detection performances compared with the previous introduced normalization methods.

Each on-board equipment providing navigational and engine information has different signals. These signals should be analyze, be transformed to the standard digital form and be transmitted to each client on board through the earlier developed ILU (integrated LAN unit). Therefore this paper was to analyze the signals of each equipment for navigation and engine and was to use the serial technology necessary for the equipment and IDU (information display unit). And this paper was then to develop an SIU (ship's interface unit) and to test it onboard.

연성 PCB(flexible printed circuit board)는 현재 노트북 PC와 디지털 카메라등에 적용되며, 굴곡성이 강하고 소형화 및 조립에 용이하여 주로 기판 사이나주기판과 외부 커넥터사이에 데이터의 전송매체로써 널리 사용되는 핵심부품이다. 근래에 개발되는 PCB 기반의 고성능 신호처리회로들은 데이터 전송율이 수백 MHz에서 수 GHz에 이르고 있으며, 신호선과 유전체, 접지판의 구조적 특성에 따라서, 반사 효과와 같은 신호무결성 문제들이 파생되어 신호의 최대성능을 제한하게된다. 이에 따라 적절한 임피던스 제어를 통하여 고성능신호들의 왜곡을 상쇄시키는 기술이 중요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 연성 PCB 전송라인을 위한 임피던스 모델을 대상으로 각 모델의 주요 특징 및 정확성을 분석하였다. 연성 PCB의 전송라인은 보통 전통적인 마이크로스트립 라인의 특성 임피던스 모델에 비해 신호선의 너비가 크며, 이를 반영한 개선된 수학적 임피던스 모델들이 제안되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 기존의 마이크로스트립 전송라인과 연성 PCB 전송라인에 적합한 수학적 모델들을 이용하여 신호 무결성 문제를 모의할 수 있는 CAE(computer-aided engineering) 도구의 임피던스 측정 결과를 비교 및 분석하였다.
