Look-up table based inverse halftoning from the digital color halftone image is proposed in this paper, which uses vector adaptive filter for the nonexisting patterns in the table. Halftone image is obtained from a continuous -tone image, which can be restored into continuous one from the digital binary image by way of inverse halftoning method. Look-up table based method usually processes fast and has even performances over the various halftoning. The numbers of pixels in the pattern of table and the method how to define the table elements for each R, G, B channels can effect largely for its performance. The proposed method uses 16 pixels in the table considering the diversity of the expressions from their patterns and with memory size as well. This also proposed how to combine R, G, B channels into one. Experimental results showed the better performance in the expression of colors, better color restoration and the short processing time compared with the conventional ones.

An inversion method is presented for the determination of the compressional wave speed, compressional wave attenuation, thickness of the sediment layer and density as a function of depth for a horizontally stratified ocean bottom. An experiment for estimating those properties was conducted in the shallow water of South Sea in Korea. In the experiment, a light bulb implosion and the propagating sound were measured using a VLA (vertical line array). As a method for estimating the geoacoustic properties, a coherent broadband matched field processing combined with Genetic Algorithm was employed. When a time-dependent signal is very short, the Fourier transform results are not accurate, since the frequency components are not locatable in time and the windowed Fourier transform is limited by the length of the window. However, it is possible to do this using the wavelet transform a transform that yields a time-frequency representation of a signal. In this study, this transform is used to identify and extract the acoustic components from multipath time series. The inversion is formulated as an optimization problem which maximizes the cost function defined as a normalized correlation between the measured and modeled signals in the wavelet transform coefficient vector. The experiments and procedures for deploying the light bulbs and the coherent broadband inversion method are described, and the estimated geoacoustic profile in the vicinity of the VLA site is presented.

인버터는 전기적으로 DC(직류)를 AC(교류)로 변환하는 역 변환 장치이며, 상용전원(AC 22V/440V)으로부터 공급된 전력을 입력받아 전압과 주파수를 가변시켜 전동기에 공급함으로써 전동기의 속도를 고효율로 이용하게 제어하는 장치이다. 본 논문에서는 550kW급 IGBT, DIODE의 발열에 의한 인버터 내부의 열 및 온도분포를 ICEPAK 상용코드를 통하여 수치적 해석을 수행하였다. 인버터의 발열은 캐패시터의 수명과 소자들의 오작동 등 많은 열적 문제를 가지고 있으며 Heat-sink, Fan, Duck등을 통하여 전도와 대류가 이루어지는 시스템이다. 인버터은 많은 파라미터들에 의해 온도가 결정되기 때문에 실험을 통한 해석은 제한적 일수 밖에 없다. 따라서 수치해석을 통하여 빠른 시간에 효율적인 열 설계를 할 수 있으며, 인버터의 크기는 최종적으로 Heat-sink의 형상에 따라 달라지므로 이를 최적화 하고 소형화 하는 작업이 필요하다. 인버터의 복잡한 내부구조상 하단부(발열원, Heat-sink, Fan등)만 수치해석을 수행하였을 때와 Full Model과는 $15^{\circ}C$ 온도 차이를 보였다. 최종적으로 인버터의 최적 열 설계를 위하여 Frame위치 변경, Heat-Sink 형상변화등 많은 수치해석을 통하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다.

최근 영상을 중심으로 여러 형태의 정보를 결합하여 저장하거나 전송하는 멀티미디어가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 현재 카메라와 관련된 동영상 캡처기술은 Motion JPEG이 주류를 이루고 있으며, 텔레비전, DMB 등의 방송 분야 및 DVD, VCR 분야에서는 MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 및 WMV9 등의 압축 코덱이 채용되고 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 다양한 영상 표준방식은 디코딩시 호환성 문제가 발생하게 되고 이에 따라 통합 코덱 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 논문은 일반적 스텝 양자화외에 데드존 양자화를 사용하고 "$4{\times}4$", "$4{\times}8$", "$8{\times}4$", "$8{\times}8$"의 다양한 블록크기의 변환을 지원하는 VC-1을 기반으로 한 ITIQ C언어를 통해 시뮬레이션하고 최적화된 결과를 VHDL로 구현하여 향후 통합코덱 연구에 응용 가능하도록 연구 및 분석평가 하였다. 설계결과 4:2:0의 YCbCr포맷의 최초 $16{\times}16$블록을 복원하는데 483~510클록이 소요되었고 Xilinx XCVPC100 FF1696-6 환경에서 93,128개의 게이트 수와 71.469MHz의 동작속도를 나타내었다. 이는 640*480 크기의 컬러영상을 디코딩 하는데 프레임 당 최대 0.0074초가 소요됨을 의미하며 초당 30프레임의 영상에서도 0.222초면 디코딩이 가능한 결과이다.

The conventional decoding procedure for the images encoded using fractal contractive transformation algorithms is performed by applying the transformations iteratively for an arbirary initial image. In this paper, we showed that the atractor image can be obtained analytically when the image is encoded using the fractal algorithm proposed by Monro and Dudbridge, in which the corresponding domain block for a range block is fixed. Using the analytical formula, we can obtain the attractor image without iteration procedure. Computer simulation results for various test images show that we can increase the image decoding speed by more than five times when we use the analytical formula compared to the previous iteration methods. Also we confirmed that the real time decoding by software on PD is possible for the moving picture with QCIF formats.

Instantaneous Frequency(IF) of Doppler signals is used to get the information of relative velocity and miss distance between a missile and the corresponding target. Though Short-Time Fourier Transform(STFT) is mainly used to estimate IF, it has many errors in wide band signals where frequency changes sharply. Because it has a fixed window in time and frequency axes. This paper deals with IF estimation of Doppler signal using a Continuous Wavelet Transform(CWT) which has adaptive window in time and frequency axes. The proposed method is able to estimate IF regardless of frequency changes because it has a narrow window in high frequency band and a wide window in low frequency band. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms STFT in estimating IF.

Flash memory based SSDs are currently being considered as a promising candidate for replacing hard disks due to several superior features such as shorter access time, lower power consumption and better shock resistance. However, SSDs have different characteristics from hard disk such as difference of unit and time for read, write and erase operation and impossibility for over-writing. Because of these reasons, SSDs have disadvantages on hard disk based systems, so FTL(Flash Translation Layer) is designed to increase SSDs' efficiency. In this paper, we propose an advanced logical address mapping method for increasing SSDs' performance, which is named HAMM(Hybrid Address Mapping Method). HAMM addresses drawbacks of previous block-mapping method and super-block-mapping method and takes advantages of them. We experimented our method on our own SSDs simulator. In the experiments, we confirmed that HAMM uses storage area more efficiently than super-block-mapping method, given the same buffer size. In addition, HAMM used smaller memory than block-mapping method to construct mapping table, demonstrating almost same performance.

본 연구의 목적은 각기 다른 수직 점프 동작 시 근육의 길이와 근육의 수축속도 변화를 비교 분석하는데 있다. 피험자의 운동학적 변인들을 분석하기 위해 2대의 고감도 카메라를 (60 Hz, Panasonic AG455) 사용하여 점프 동작을 촬영하였다. 대퇴직근, 내측광근, 외측광근, 중간광근, 대퇴이두근(단두), 내측과 외측 비복근의 길이와 근수축 속도는 Brand et al. (1982)에 의해 제시되어진 하지근 기시 정지점의 3차원 좌표값과 동작분석을 통한 하지 분절간의 회전 및 변환행렬을 사용하여 측정되어졌다. 일반적인 근육 길이와 수축속도의 변화 형태는 각기 다른 점프간에 매우 유사한 형태를 보였다. 상승기 초기에 대퇴사두근의 길이가 최대인것으로 나타났으며, 이에 반해 대퇴이두근과 내외측 비복근은 공중 동작이 발생하는 시점에 근의 길이가 최대인 것으로 나타났다. 근육의 길이 변화 범위는 대퇴직근이 35.9에서 47.5 cm, 외측광근이 29.4에서 38.8 cm, 중간광근이 31.5에서 38.0 cm, 내측광근이 30.9에서 38.6 cm, 대퇴이두근이 21.3에서 39.1 cm, 외측비복근이 31.4에서 33.5 cm, 내측비복근이 30.5에서 33.2 cm인 것으로 나타났다. SQ와 CMJ에서는 대퇴사두근의 최대 단축성 수축 속도와 대퇴이두근과 내외측 비복근의 최대 신장성 수축이 공중동작이 발생하기 바로 전에 이루어졌다. 대퇴사두근의 최대 신장성 수축과 대퇴이두근과 내외측 비복근의 최대 단축성 수축은 일반적으로 피험자가 착지하는 순간에 발생되어졌다. 그러나 HJ와 DJ에서는 대퇴사두근의 최대 신장성 추축과 대퇴이두근과 내외측 비복근의 최대 신장성 수축이 하강기 초반에 발생되어졌다.

Due to explosive increase of internet usage, broadband data transmission using optical fibers is broadly used. In order to decrease distortion during long distance transmission, the optical signal need to be restored, typically, by converting the optical signal into the electrical signal. The optical signal is converted into the electrical signal using a photo-diode, and then a clock-and-recovery (CDR) circuit is used to recover the clock and retime the data. In this study, a clock-and-data recovery circuit has been designed using a standard 1.8 V $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. With this CDR circuit, the improved phase detector and charge pump have been utilized. Also, by using a ring oscillator, the CDR circuit can recover clock and data from broadband multi-rate data ranging between 750 Mb/s and 2.85 Gb/s.

In this paper, we propose an efficient motion estimation algorithm which can reduce computational complexity by using characteristics of wavelet coefficient in each subband while keeping about the same image quality as in using MRME(multiresolution motion estimation). In general, because of the high similarity between consecutive frames, we first decide whether the motion exists or not by just comparing MAD(mean absolute difference) between blocks with threshold in the lowest subbands of consecutive two frames. If it turns out that there is no motion in the lowest subband, we can also decide no motion exists in the higher subband. This is due to the characteristics of wavelet transform. Conversely, if we find any motion in the lowest subband, we can reduce computational complexity by estimating high subband motion vectors selectively according to the amount of computational complexity by estimating high subband motion vectors selectively according to the amount of energy in that subband. Experimental results are shown that algorithm suggested in this paper maintains about the same PSNR as MRME. However, the processing time was reduced about 30-50% compared with the MRME.
