본 논문은 육각 탐색에 기반한 고속 블록 정합 알고리즘의 성능 개선에 관한 것으로, 육각 탐색과정에서 추출한 정합점에 대해 정합 검증 패턴을 이용하여 정합도를 검증함으로써 국부 최소 문제를 효과적으로 개선한 고속 움직임 벡터 추정 기법에 관한 것이다. 제안된 방법은 우선, 적응형 육감 탐색에 있어서 차순위 국부 정합점을 이용하여 탐색 패턴을 확장한다. 이후 이렇게 확장된 탐색 패턴에서 추출한 임시 전역 정합점을 대상으로 정합 검증 패턴을 이용하여 정합도의 비교우위를 재차 검증한다. 이 검증 결과에 따라 추가 탐색 과정을 계속적으로 진행할 것인지 또는 현 임시 전역 정합점을 최종 전역 정합점으로 확정할 것인지 여부를 결정하는 과정을 반복적으로 수행함으로써 움직임 보상화질을 개선한 것이다. 제안된 방법에 따르면, 정합 검증 패턴을 적용한 검증 과정에서 추가적인 연산량 증가가 초래되지만 이를 상호타협적으로 보상할 수 있는 화질 측면에서의 성능 개선 효과를 기대 할 수 있다.

We propose a fast intra mode skip decision algorithm for H.264/AVC video encoding. Although newly added MB encoding algorithms based on various prediction methods increase compression ratio, they require a significant increase in the computational complexity because we calculate rate-distortion(RD) cost for all possible MB coding modes and then choose the best one. In this paper, we propose a fast mode decision algorithm based on an adaptive motion vector map(AMVM) method for H.264/AVC video encoding to reduce the processing time for the inter frame. We verify that the proposed algorithm generates generally good performances in PSNR, bit rates, and processing time.

The next generation of wireless communication system is expected to provide users with wireless multimedia services such as high speed internet access and wireless mobile computing. Depending on the Quality of Service(QoS) requirements and different applications per user, many wireless communication systems have been proposed. The simple decoding algorithm of space-time block coding is based on the assumption of flat fading channel, where no intersymbol interference exists. In this paper, we propose to combine space-time transmit diversity with adaptive equalizer. The proposed system effectively eliminates interference caused by multipath environment. Simulation results show that the proposed system provides improved bit error rate performance.

The performance of an intra-frame DCT/DPCM hybrid coding is investigated with the criteria of normalized mean square error and subjective test for various system parameters. It includes the prediction coefficient in transform domain, normalization factor and bit-map in block quantizer, and adaptive coding. It is shown that the generalized covariance model of image is a convenient tool for bit-map and adaptive coding, and for a fast low bit-rate coding.

This paper presents a method of object classification based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and fuzzy inference(FI). It concentrated not only on the design of fuzzy inference algorithm which is suitable for low speed uninhabited transportation such as, conveyor but also on the minimize the number of fuzzy rule. In the preprocess of feature extracting, feature parameters are extracted by using characteristics of the coefficients matrix of DWT. Such feature parameters as area, perimeter and a/p ratio are used obtained from DWT coefficients blocks. Secondly, fuzzy if - then rules that can be able to adapt the variety of surroundings are developed. In order to verify the performance of proposed scheme, In the middle of fuzzy inference, the Mamdani's and the Larsen 's implication operators are utilized. Experimental results showed that proposed scheme can be applied to the variety of surroundings.

최근 상수관망의 물 공급 과정에서 여러 가지 원인으로 인해 물의 손실에 따른 비용손실이 발생하고 있다. 급수시스템의 경우에는 파열 및 누수발생과 관련되어 사용되는 비용은 분실되는 물의 직적비용, 급수시스템 수리에 따른 공사비용, 공급중지와 관련된 사회적 비용이 있다. 파열 및 누수를 신속하게 감지하는 것은 물 손실에 의해 발생하는 직접 및 간접비용을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 국내의 경우 정기적으로 매년 1회 시행되는 상수관로에 대한 누수탐지작업으로 신속한 감지 및 즉각적인 대처를 할 수 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수도관에서 발생되는 파열 및 누수를 탐지하기 위하여 블록 유입부에 설치된 유량계의 샘플링 간격의 영향에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 적응칼만필터 알고리즘을 이용한 가변 샘플링 간격은 최대 최소 샘플링 간격과 정규화된 잔차의 상한값과 하한값 도입하여 제시하였다. 샘플링 간격의 효과를 강조하기 위해 사인 곡선, 사다리꼴 파열, 불규칙 잡음으로 구성된 가상의 유량 데이터로 알고리즘에 대한 검증실험을 진행하였고 실험 결과 샘플링 간격이 길수록 긴 시간 동안 누수 및 파열에 대한 작은 잔차를 발생시켰다. 모의실험결과 샘플링 주기를 변경함으로써 분석에 필요한 유량 데이터의 샘플수를 크게 줄일 수 있었다.

This paper is related to a morphological segmentation method for extracting the moving object in video sequence using global motion compensation and two-dimensional spatio-temporal entropic thresholding. First, global motion compensation is performed with camera panning vector estimated in the hierarchical pyramid structure constructed by wavelet transform. Secondly, the regions with high possibility to include the moving object between two consecutive frames are extracted block by block from the global motion compensated image using two-dimensional spatio-temporal entropic thresholding. Afterwards, the LUT classifying each block into one among changed block, uncertain block, stationary block according to the results classified by two-dimensional spatio-temporal entropic thresholding is made out. Next, by adaptively selecting the initial search layer and the search range referring to the LUT, the proposed HBMA can effectively carry out fast motion estimation and extract object-included region in the hierarchical pyramid structure. Finally, after we define the thresholded gradient image in the object-included region, and apply the morphological segmentation method to the object-included region pixel by pixel and extract the moving object included in video sequence. As shown in the results of computer simulation, the proposed method provides relatively good segmentation results for moving object and specially comes up with reasonable segmentation results in the edge areas with lower contrast.

The main feature of H.264 standard against conventional video standards is the high coding efficiency and the network friendliness. In spite of these outstanding features, it is not easy to implement H.264 codec as a real-time system due to its high requirement of memory bandwidth and intensive computation. Although the variable block size motion compensation using multiple reference frames is one of the key coding tools to bring about its main performance gain, it demands substantial computational complexity due to SAD (Sum of Absolute Difference) calculation among all possible combinations of coding modes to find the best motion vector. For speedup of motion estimation process, therefore, this paper proposes fast algorithms for both integer-pel and fractional-pel motion search. Since many conventional fast integer-pel motion estimation algorithms are not suitable for H.264 having variable motion block sizes, we propose the motion field adaptive search using the hierarchical block structure based on the diamond search applicable to variable motion block sizes. Besides, we also propose fast fractional-pel motion search using small diamond search centered by predictive motion vector based on statistical characteristic of motion vector.

Housing issues such as mushrooming slums remain as chronic in most developing countries. Due to the state's restrained capacity, the housing-vulnerable's self-help approaches have been increasingly inevitable and vital for addressing the housing issues. However, there are still two challenges: securing good quality with economic efficiency, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. This study aims at doing an architectural experiment by developing and educating the production of eco-friendly interlocking stabilized soil bricks (ISSB) by employing vernacular materials and technologies for housing-vulnerable communities in Indonesia. In collaboration with a local architectural NGO, the study features a co-creation workshop in which 40 evicted households participate in the whole process. Soil analysis, mixed design, compression tests, and economic analysis are carried out. This paper illustrates that ISSB also has a high potential as an alternative to a burned brick or a cement block. The application of ISSB to self-help housing is expected to have socioeconomic and environmental effects, thereby facilitating the housing-vulnerable's self-help approaches and contributing to addressing the housing challenges in Indonesia.

In many current wireless packet data system, the short-burst transmissions are used, and training overhead is very significant for such short burst formats. So, the availability of the short training sequence and the fast converging algorithm is essential in the adaptive equalizer. In this paper, the new equalizer algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of a MTLMS (multiple-training least mean square) based DFE (decision feedback equalizer)using the short training sequence. In the proposed method, the output of the DFE is fed back to the LMS (least mean square) based adaptive DEF loop iteratively and used as an extended training sequence. Instead of the block operation using ML (maximum likelihood) estimator, the low-complexity adaptive LMS operation is used for overall processing. Simulation results show that the perfonnance of the proposed equalizer is improved with a linear computational increase as the iterations parameter in creases and can give the more robustness to the time-varying fading.
