In this paper, we have studied a direction finding method of the radio signal by comparing the phase difference and its pattern from the uniform circular array antenna. In the phase comparison direction finding, if the length of the antenna baseline is longer than 0.5 wavelength of the incident signal, azimuth ambiguity occurs in which two or more azimuth angles are calculated in the same phase difference. The azimuthal ambiguity is removed by fusing the phase difference of the 5 antennas. The developed ambiguity elimination technology reduces the azimuth error where the antenna baseline is shorter than 1.236 wavelength in the uniform circular array with five antennas. This algorithm is very useful for the design of direction finder of an electronic information system.

In this paper, we propose a music classification system according to user emotions using Electroencephalogram (EEG) features that appear when listening to music. In the proposed system, the relationship between the emotional EEG features extracted from EEG signals and the auditory features extracted from music signals is learned through a deep regression neural network. The proposed system based on the regression model automatically generates EEG features mapped to the auditory characteristics of the input music, and automatically classifies music by applying these features to an attention-based deep neural network. The experimental results suggest the music classification accuracy of the proposed automatic music classification framework.

This study develops a fusion priority signal control algorithm to pass without delay in emergency events. Fusion priority signal control is method combined center control with local control. The center control method applies signal times for each signalized intersection on the emergency vehicle's route when an emergency call is received. As signals are controlled before the emergency vehicle leaves for its destination, it is possible to clear the queues at each intersection more effectively. However, since the traffic information (speed, position) of the real-time emergency vehicle is not used, the intersection arrival time predicted by center control and actual arrival time of the emergency vehicle may be different from each other. In the case, it is possible to experience a delay caused by the signal. Local control method operate priority signal use the real-time information of EV, but there is a limitation that queue elimination time can not be reflected. In this study, fusion(center+local) control algorithm is proposed to compensate the disadvantages of center and local control also maximizing its advantages. Proposed algorithm is expected to decrease delay time of EV in emergency situation.

In DS/CDMA system the number of output signal levels increases as multi-channel signals are summed, hence the power amplifier with high linearity is required. PW/CDMA is a transmission technique that performs pulse width modulation on the multilevel signal synthesized from multiple channel data. In PW/CDMA system the signal level is maintained to be binary, hence the modulation and demodulation circuits become simple. In this paper we derive the probability of bit error of the PW/CDMA system in AWGN environment. The results are compared with DS/CDMA system and are verified through the computer simulations.

최근 무선센서네트워크 기술을 이용한 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있으며 특히 헬스케어분에서 활발히 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무선센서노드를 이용하여 계측된 생체신호를 바탕으로 환자의 상태 및 진단을 위한 기초자료를 활용하기 위한 시스템을 구현하였다. 생체신호로 ECG(electrocardiogram)와 체온 파라미터를 사용하였으며 ECG신호의 QRS특성점을 축출하기 위해 Pan&Tomkins에 개발된 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 또한 효율적인 모니터링을 위해 비정상적인 ECG신호에 대한 알림기능을 구현하였으며 이러한 감시기능은 상시 모니터링을 하지 않고도 환자의 상태를 알 수 있게 하였다. 본 연구에서 구현된 이러한 시스템기술은 국내의 고령화 문제로 발생되는 의료비용을 크게 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

현대의 잡음이 많은 환경에서 적응 음향반향제거기는 배경잡음의 영향으로 원활한 통화환경을 제공할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 음향반향 제거와 더불어 배경잡음을 제거하는 결합구조의 적응 음향반향제거기가 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 결합구조가 가지는 단점을 보완하여 적응 음향반향제거기의 성능을 향상시켰다. 제안한 결합구조는 적응 음향잡음제거기의 기준입력 신호를 적응 음향잡음제거기의 오차신호와 같게 구성함으로서 배경잡음 신호뿐만 아니라 잔여반향 신호도 효율적으로 제거할 수 있다. 성능 평가를 위한 실험결과, 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법에 비하여 ERLE 성능이 수렴 구간에서 3㏈ 이상 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

Existing Speech feature extracting method in speech Signal, there are incorrect recognition rates due to incorrect speech which is not clear threshold value. In this article, the modeling method for improving speech recognition performance that combines the feature extraction for speech and silence characteristics normalized to the non-speech. The proposed method is minimized the noise affect, and speech recognition model are convergence of speech signal feature extraction to each speech frame and the silence feature normalization. Also, this method create the original speech signal with energy spectrum similar to entropy, therefore speech noise effects are to receive less of the noise. the performance values are improved in signal to noise ration by the silence feature normalization. We fixed speech and non speech classification standard value in cepstrum For th Performance analysis of the method presented in this paper is showed by comparing the results with CHMM HMM, the recognition rate was improved 2.7%p in the speech dependent and advanced 0.7%p in the speech independent.

This paper proposes an improved heartbeat signal extraction method for ballistocardiography(BCG)-based heart-rate measurement on mobile environment. First, from a mobile facial video, a handshake-free head motion signal is extracted by tracking facial features and background features at the same time. Then, a novel signal periodicity computation method is proposed to accurately separate out the heartbeat signal from the head motion signal. The proposed method could robustly extract heartbeat signals from mobile facial videos, and enabled more accurate heart rate measurement (measurement errors were reduced by 3-4 bpm) compared to the existing method.

In this paper, we propose the systolic array architecture for the vector median filter. In the color image processing, the vector signal (i.e. the color) consists of three elements, red, green and blue. The vector median filter is very effective to utilize the correlation among red, green and blue elements. The computational complexity of the proposed architecture for computing the vector median of N vector signals is (N+2) clock periods compared to the (3N+1) clock periods in the previous method. In addition to, the input vector signals can be loaded in serial in the proposed architecture. In the previous method, N input vector signals should be loaded to the vector median filter in parallel at the first clock. The proposed architecture is implemented with FPGA.
