Electrical impedance tomography is an imaging modality for determining the electrical properties inside a domain. Small currents are injected and the resulting voltages are measured through the electrodes. The internal electrical properties are reconstructed based on these voltage and current data. In this paper, a novel on-line Landweber algorithm was developed to fast estimate the resistivity distribution in the inverse calculation. Additionally, to enhance the reconstruction performance, a step-length was computed from the eigenvalue of the weighting matrix. The numerical experiments have been performed to evaluate the reconstruction performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, It propose a new restoration algorithm of high resolution, which is reconstructed to high resolution image using low resolution image informations. The proposed algorithm is constructed based on super resolution theory, it is consisted of progressive steps of the integration and construction. It reduced a lot of data-processing capacity and noise with integration through sub-pixel movement and wavelet basis through a higher resolution. As a result, it is shown that the main information is maintained and the error rate is improved. Using expansion fuzzy wavelet B-spline interpolation in stage of construction, it is confirmed that we can achieve smoothing image and good resolution without blur and block.

Bioremediation기법중 하나인 bloventing은 운전 및 처리비용의 감소와 효율의 향상적인 측면에서 여러 연구자들에 의해 수행되고 있다. 기존에는 오염토양에 대한 물리ㆍ화학적 분석과 미생물 활성에 미치는 인자의 측정이 주를 이루었다. 그러나, 최근에는 토양 가스내 $CO_2$ $O_2$의 측정ㆍ분석을 통한 분해율 평가와 탄화수소 분해에 대한 경과 및 복원시간을 예측하고자 하는 연구가 이루어지고 있는 중이다. 본 연구의 목표는 유류오염지역을 복원하기 위한 기술 중 생물학적 복원기술(bioremediation)의 하나인 bioventing 기술의 국내 적용가능성을 알아보고 궁극적으로 국내 실정에 적합한 bioventing공법의 개발을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 lab-scale bioventing process를 이용하여 생부해를 최대화시키고 오염성분의 휘발을 최소화시키는 bioventing system의 최적운전 mode(연속식, 간헐식)를 개발하기 위해 공기공급량과 생분해량, 그리고 휘발되는 탄화수소양과의 관계를 평가하는 연구를 수행하였다.

In this paper, an illuminant estimation algorithm of a chromatic digital images proposed. The proposed illumination estimation method has two phases. First, the surface spectral reflectances are recovered. In this case, the surface spectral reflectances recovered are limited to the maximum highlight region (MHR) which is the most achromatic and highly bright region of an image after applying intermediate color constancy process using a modified gray world algorithm. Next, the surface reflectances of the maximum highlight region are estimated using the principal component analysis method along with a set of given Munsell samples. Second, the spectral distribution of reflected lights of MHR is selected from the spectral database. That is a color difference is compared between the reflected lights of the MHR and the spectral database that is the set of reflected lights built by the given Munsell samples and a set of illuminants. Then the closest colors from the spectral database are selected. Finally, the illuminant of an image can be calculated dividing the average spectral distributions of reflected lights of MHR by the average surface reflectances of the MHR. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, experiments with artificial and real captured color-biased scenes were performed and numerical comparison examined. The proposed method was effective in estimating the spectral of the given illuminant sunder various illuminants.

Press drying was used on italian poplar (Populus euamericana) to find the profitable means of drying. This study was designed to investigate the process of platen drying considering core temperature, drying time, current moisture content, drying rate, shrinkage and recovery, and green volume specific gravity, equilibrium moisture content and dimensional stability of press dried material and air dried material, The drying tests were conducted using 1.5 centimeter thick material at platen temperature of $175^{\circ}C$. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Core temperature was divided into three stages of drying characterized by period initial heating, plateau temperature and rising core temperature. Plateau temperature was 114 to $119^{\circ}C$. 2. The following predicting equations of drying time(y) in different core temperatures were developed for initial thickness($x_1$), initial moisture content ($x_2$) and final moisture content ($x_3$) 3. The predicting equaltion of current moisture content(u) was log u=4.658-0.060t as funtion of drying time(t) and that of drying rate(r) was log r=-2.797-0.049t. Current moisture content and drying rate of air drying were shown in figure 2. 4. The predicting equation of shrinkage in thickness direction(y) was log y=1.933+0.038t as function of drying time(t), and that of expansion in width direction was $y=-0.692+0.043t-0.001t^2$. 5. Thickness shrinkage was increased more than proportional at to pressure increase. Width shrinkage and thickness recovery was greatest at 35psi. 6. Green volume specific gravity of press dried material was 25% greater than that of air dried material. But equilibrium moisture content of press dried material was less 24% than that of air dried material. Antishrinkage efficiency of press dried material were obtained 27.7%.

Electrical impedance tomography is a nondestructive imaging technique to reconstruct unknown conductivity distribution based on applied current data and measured voltage data through an array of electrodes attached on the periphery of a domain. In this paper, an inverse method based on truncated singular value decomposition is proposed to solve the inverse problem with the generalized Tikhonov regularization and to reconstruct the conductivity distribution. In order to reduce the inverse computational time, truncated singular value decomposition is applied to the inverse term after the generalized regularization matrix is taken out from the inverse matrix term. Numerical experiments and phantom experiments have been performed to verify the performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present a document image compression system based on segmentation, Quincunx downsampling, (5/3) wavelet lifting and subband-oriented SPIHT coding. We reduced the coding time by the adaptation of subband-oriented SPIHT coding and Quincunx downsampling. And to increase compression rate further, we applied arithmetic coding to the bitstream of SPIHT coding output. Finally, we present the reconstructed images for visual comparison and also present the compression rates and PSNR values under various scalar quantization methods.

When JPEG, a standard of stopped image compression, is high compressed, the image is severely blocked. Since JPEG performs compression after taking DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). It has a defect that the quality of image becomes low with aliasing in the case of high compression. Though transformation cipher method can have high compression rate, flame nay happen to quality of image by transformation and reverse transformation. In this paper, we use wavelet transform and fractal theory in order to solve these problems. After we apply these two methods to stopped image, we can get some good results, improvement of speed and compression rate, and elimination of blocking appearance. Besides, we show quality of restoration image is better than established one.

Low-titrate audio coding enables a number of Internet and mobile multimedia streaming service more efficiently. For the help of next-generation mobile telephone technologies and digital audio/video compression algorithm, we can enjoy the real-time multimedia contents on our mobile devices (cellular phone, PDA notebook, etc). But the limited available bandwidth of mobile communication network prohibits transmitting high-qualify AV contents. In addition, most bandwidth is assigned to transmit video contents. In this paper, we design a novel and simple method for reproducing high frequency components. The spectrum of high frequency components, which are lost by down-sampling, are modeled by the energy rate with low frequency band in Bark scale, and these values are multiplexed with conventional coded bitstream. At the decoder side, the high frequency components are reconstructed by duplicating with low frequency band spectrum at a rate of decoded energy rates. As a result of segmental SNR and MOS test, we convinced that our proposed method enhances the subjective sound quality only 10%∼20% additional bits. In addition, this proposed method can apply all kinds of frequency domain audio compression algorithms, such as MPEG-1/2, AAC, AC-3, and etc.

본 논문에서는 임의 형태 영상 영역에 대한 변환 부호화 회로를 설계하고 구현하여 동작을 확인한다. 설계된 회로는 순방향 변환 부호화 회로와 역방향 변환 부호화 회로로 구성된다. 순방향 변환 부호화 회로에서는 영상 영역을 구성하는 화소들을 변환 블록의 가장 자리로 이동시킨 후, 비어 있는 부분을 화소 평균값으로 외삽한다. 그리고 변환을 실행한 후 외삽된 부분의 변환 계수들을 삭제한다 역방향 변환 부호화 회로에서는 먼저 삭제된 변환 계수들물 복원한 후에 역변환 과정을 수행하며, 역변환 계수들 중 복원된 부분의 계수들을 삭제한다. 모의 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 설계된 변환 부호화 회로가 특히 낮은 비트율에서 우수한 압축 성능을 갖는 것을 볼 수 있다.
