OFDM is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a high-rate datastream is transmitted over a number of lower rate subcarriers. In this paper, the structure of ORM system is studied, and causes of inter carrier interference (ICI) are analyzed. Based on analysis, this paper shows a technique to prevent a distortion due to nonlinearity of high power amplifier. The proposed scheme is a predistorter(PD) for high power amplifier linearization in OFDM system. This is verified by comparing BER characteristics of OFDM system, between used PD and not used PD, and superiority is shown by comparing BER characteristics of OFDM system, between used the proposed PD and used some other PDs.

본 논문에서는 비디오 영상 압축 왜곡 제거를 위해 Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)을 적용한 컨벌루션 뉴럴 네트워크 (CNN) 모델을 제안한다. GAN 모델의 생성 모델 (Generator)은 노이즈가 아닌 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)로 압축된 영상을 입력 받은 뒤, 압축 왜곡이 제거된 영상을 출력하며, 분류 모델 (Discriminator)은 원본 영상과 압축된 영상을 입력 받은 뒤, 원본 영상과 압축 왜곡이 포함된 압축된 영상을 분류한다. 분류 모델은 5 개 층을 쌓은 컨벌루션 뉴럴 네트워크 구조를 사용하였고, 생성 모델은 5 개 층을 쌓은 SRCNN 구조와 VDSR 구조를 기반으로 한 두 개의 모델을 이용한 실험을 통해 얻은 결과를 비교하였다. 비디오 영상 압축 왜곡 제거 실험을 위해 원본 비디오 영상을 HEVC 을 이용하여 2Mbps, 4Mbps 로 압축된 영상을 사용하였으며, 압축된 영상 대비 왜곡이 제거된 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper we propose a visualization tool for distortion-free time-series matching. Supporting distortion-free is a very important factor in time-series matching to get more accurate matching results. In this paper, we visualize the result of time-series matching, which removes various time-series distortions such as noise, offset translation, amplitude scaling, and linear trend by using moving average, normalization, linear detrending transformations, respectively. The proposed visualization tool works as a client-server model. The client sends a user-selected time-series, of which distortions are removed, to the server and visualizes the matching results. The server efficiently performs the distortion-free time-series matching on the multi-dimensional R*-tree index. By visualizing the matching result as five different charts, we can more easily and more intuitively understand the matching result.

산란선을 흡수하여 보다 선명한 x선 영상을 얻기 위하여 산란방지 그리드를 사용하여 투사영상을 얻는데, 이때 그리드로 인한 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 회전된 그리드를 사용하여 투사영상을 얻어서 그리드 왜곡을 제거하는 방법에서, 보다 효율적인 그리드 왜곡 제거를 위한 최적의 그리드 각도를 얻기 위한 min-max 최적화 방법을 제시하였고, 몇 가지 예를 통하여 최적의 그리드 각도를 구하였으며, 실제 x선 영상에 적용하여 그 성능을 비교해 보았다.

본 논문에서는 비선형 왜곡이 있는 환경에서 QAM 신호의 수신 성능을 개선시키기 위한 비선형 왜곡 제거 알고리즘을 제안한다. 비선형 왜곡의 효과를 줄이기 위하여 MMSE-DFE 수신기의 역방향 필터에 비선형 탭을 포함시키고 등화기 출력에서 추가적인 처리를 통해 남아 있는 잔여 비선형 왜곡을 제거한다. 비선형 왜곡이 있는 환경에서 MMSE-DFE 수신기와 제안된 수신기의 성능을 분석하고 전산 모의 실험을 통해 검증한다. MMSE-DFE 수신기와 비교한 제안된 수신기의 SNR 이득은 QAM 신호의 신호점 수가 커지고 비선형 왜곡이 커질수록 증가한다.

Discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient dropping is well recognized as an efficient rate adaptation transcoding in motion-compensated (MC)-DCT based MPEG-compressed videos. However, in this scheme, the errors incurred by the DCT coefficient-dropping are propagated and often result in significant visual quality degradation. This paper presents two propositions describing well the statistical properties of propagated errors. That is, we propose that the DCT error of the current frame is not correlated to the propagated errors of the previous frames. We also propose that the overall distortions in a given frame can be approximated as the sum of the DCT error of the current frame and the propagated errors from the previous frames. Then, it is shown that several computer simulations with different video sequences verify the effectiveness of the proposed statistical analyses.

In this paper, we proposed predistortion algerian that can compensate temperature distortion by digital. Predistortion algorithm produces compensation value of distortion by temperature as well as system nonlinear distortion by input level, and warps beforehand signal of baseband. To prove excellency of such algorithm we applied predistortion algorithm to Saleh's high power amplifier model, and did computer simulation. As a result, P1dB increased about 0.5 dBm phase shift reduced about $0.8^{o}$ than existent the A&P PD, and predistiortion algorithm to apply temperature compensation techniques improved P1dB about 2dBm and stabilized phase shift by about $0.1^{o}$ low. When approved UMTS's sample signal to this amplifier, IMD3 of amplifier decreased 10dBm than is no temperature compensation techniques, and reduced 19dBm than signal that is no distortion.

In order to obtain more clear x-ray images, an antiscatter grid, which can absorb the scattered rays, is employed. The artifacts due to the grid pattern are, however, visible, and thus should be removed by employing digital filters. For over exposed x-ray images, the strength of the grid artifacts are too big to be removed if fixed-bandwidth filters are employed. In this paper, for an efficient grid artifact reduction, we analyze the characteristics of the image formation and image saturation as the x-ray exposure increases. We can notice that, as the saturation begins to occur, the maximum of the artifact component decreases contrary to increasing exposure amount. We propose then an adaptive filtering algorithm for reduction of the grid artifacts, where the significant-signal bandwidth of the artifact component is used to choose appropriate filter bandwidths. The proposed algorithm is tested for real x-ray digital images, and can efficiently remove the grid artifacts.

This paper discusses a method to efficiently remove the keystone distortion in images. The keystone distortion which generated during 2D image aquisition to realize 3D stereoscopic images is removed by the bilinear interpolation method. Usually, the keystone distortion in 2D images can remove by the optical equipment but the image processing is more effective than the optical equipment in consideration of efficiency or simplicity of the works. This method can be realized 3D stereoscopic image without the distortion.

안개 제거 알고리즘은 single image에서 대기값(Airlight)와 대기의 빛 전달량(Transmission)을 추정하여 안개로 인한 빛의 산란에 의해 생긴 Contrast 감소 및 채도의 왜곡과 같은 영상 왜곡을 보정해줌으로써 안개 영상에서 안개를 효과적으로 제거해준다. 하지만 기존의 안개 제거 알고리즘은 안개 영상에 특화되었기 때문에 안개가 없는 영상에 알고리즘을 시행 할 경우 색상과 명암에 왜곡을 불러 일으킬 수 있다. 이에 따라 알고리즘을 수행하기 앞서 안개 량을 측정하고 그 결과에 따라 안개 제거 알고리즘에 제거 정도 가중치나 알고리즘 수행 여부를 판단할 필요가 있다. 본 논문은 기존 안개 제거 알고리즘들이 영상의 patch를 사용하여 빛 전달량(Transmission)을 추정한다는 것을 이용하여 빛 전달량을 구함과 동시에 안개 량을 판단하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 안개량을 측정하기 위해 각 patch의 pixel 분포 특성과 patch의 빛 전달량(Transmission)을 구하기 위한 특정 값과 실제 pixel의 명암(Intensity)을 비교하여 안개 량을 측정한다.
