This paper presents a digital auto-focusing algorithm using iterative unsharp mask filter. The proposed digital auto-focusing algorithm has the advantage of low computational complexity because it uses a simple filter instead of calculating the point spread function for the estimation of image degradation. The proposed iterative algorithm can control the number of iterations for image restoration according to the objective and the subjective criterion. We show that the proposed algorithm is mathematically equivalent to the conventional image restoration. Finally, in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, various experiments are performed so that the proposed algorithm can provide good results in the sense of subjective and objective views.

In this study we suggested a digital filter method to enhance car audio sound quality against the sound distortion due to cabin's acoustic characteristics and car driving noises. The digital filters designed were based on the characteristics on car driving noises and cabin acoustic characteristics. Car driving noises were analyzed by two ways; one is an objective method, octave band frequency analysis method. The other is a subjective method; sensory evaluation method, NCB method. On these results, seven sets of modified coefficients of eleven band digital filters were obtained. To find optimum audio sound quality among nine sound samples filtered by designing seven types of digital filters, which were mixed car driving noises at 100km/h, subjective evaluation method was used, paired comparison method; Scheffe' seven point method.

Mammography is the most common technique for the early detection of breast cancer. To diagnose correctly and treat of breast cancer efficiently, many image enhancement methods have been developed. This paper presents a nonlinear image enhancement method for the enhancement of digital mammogram. The proposed method is composed of a nonlinear function for brightness improvement and a nonlinear filter for contrast enhancement. The nonlinear function improves the brightness of dark area and extends the dynamic range of bright area, and the nonlinear filter efficiently enhances the specific regions and objects of the mammogram. The final enhanced image was obtained by combining the processed image with the nonlinear function and the filtered image with the nonlinear filter. The proposed nonlinear image enhancement method was confirmed the enhanced performance comparing with other existing methods.

This paper proposes a variable-Q digital graphic equalizer with the opposite filters. A method for designing the proposed equalizer is also presented. In the proposed variable-Q equalizer, we adjust the Q-factor of the equalizer filter depending on the gain, yielding an improved equalizer performance. Also, by increasing the Q-factor of the opposite filters gracefully as the gain becomes greater, the inter-band interference can be removed effectively. We shall show that the frequency response of the proposed equalizer can reproduce the user's gain setting faithfully.

In digital image communication systems, YUV 4:2:0 or YUV 4:2:2 images filtered and subsampled versions of YUV 4:4:4 images are utilized and these images recover their size by an interpolation filter. Low pass filters and interpolation filters in the image communication systems are generally utilized. Thus, to improve the image quality, efficient low pass filters and interpolation filters are still required. In this paper, we propose new and efficient low pass filters and interpolation filters and their design method. The low pass filters and interpolation filters used in the MPEG-2 system were developed independently. We utilize wavelet transforms to jointly design low pass filters and interpolation filters. Simulation results show that the proposed filters are superior to the filters used in MPEG-2 in terms of PSNR. In addition, the length of the proposed interpolation filters is shorter than that of the filters used in the MPEG 2 system.

The ODR(orthogonal double-rotation) digital lattice filters have desirable properties for VLSI implementation such as local connection, regularity and pipelinability. These filters are also known to exhibit good numerical behavior for finite precision implementation. Although these filters can be pipelined by the cut-set localization procedure, it should be noted that the maximum sample rate obtained by this technique is limited by the feedback computations. In this paper, a pipelining method for the ODR digital lattice filter is proposed, by which the sample rate can be increased at any desired level. it is also shown that the low-power CMOS digital implementation of ODR digital lattice filters can be done successfully using our pipelining method. The pipelining method is based on the properties of the Schur algoithm, constrained filter design methods, and the polyphase decomposition technique.

The main purpose of this paper is to compare the performances of various filters with color images to remove the noise. Furthermore, we suggest a modified de-noising process by the transformation of color model from RGB to another color models, such as HSV and $YC_BC_R$, to improve the quality of de-noising methods encompassing Median, Wiener, and Mean filters. Neither the performance comparison of the de-noising filters with color images nor the converting the color model for better de-noise on the degraded images haven't been performed before. Inspired to make improvements, we conduct experiments with new de-noising process on color images. The result of the experiments is shown that it could assist on certain filters being more reliable techniques.

2-Dimension IIR 디지털 필터를 시스토릭 어레이 구조로 실현하는 방법을 보였다. 시스토릭 어레이는 1-D IIR 디지털 필터로 부분 실현한 후 종속연결하여 구현하였다. 부분 실현한 시스토릭 어레이의 종속 연결은 신호 지연에 사용되는 요소를 감소 시킨다. 여기서 1-D 시스토릭 어레이는 local communication 접근에 의해 DG를 설계한후 SFG로의 사상을 통해 유도하였다. 유도된 구조는 매우 간단하며, 입력 샘플이 공급되어지면 매 샘플링 기간마다 새로운 출력을 얻는 매우 높은 데이터 처리율을 갖는다. 2-Dimension IIR 디지털 필터를 시스토릭 어레이로 실현함으로써 규칙적이고, modularity, local interconnection, 높은 농기형 다중처리의 특징을 갖기 때문에 VLSI 실현에 매우 적합하다. 또한 PE셀의 승산기 설계에서는 modified Booth's 알고리즘과 Ling's 알고리즘에 기초를 두고 고도의 병렬처리를 행할수 있도록 설계하였다.
