Nowadays, image processing has been applied in a variety of fields. In order to preserve the high quality of visual the degradation phenomenon for images should be removed. Noise is one of the representative elements cause of the degradation phenomenon and AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) always damages images. In this paper, an mixed filter algorithm, which is based on parallel denoising method, is proposed to suppress AWGN. This algorithm parallels the spatial domain wiener filter and the wavelet domain thresholding method which thresholding function is selected based on scale level. The proposed modified thresholding function which considers the dependency between parent and child coefficient performs well on suppressing noise.

This paper proposes an improved do-noising method using multi-thresholding function based on translation-invariant (W) wavelet proposed by Donoho et al. for underwater radiated noise measurement. The traditional wavelet thresholding de-noising method causes Pseudo-Gibbs phenomena near singularities due to discrete wavelet transform. In order to suppress Pseudo-Gibbs Phenomena, a do-noising method combining multi-thresholding function with the translation-invariant wavelet transform is proposed in this paper. The multi-thresholding function is a modified soft-thresholding to each node according to the discriminated threshold so as to reject かon external noise and white gaussian noise. It is verified by numerical simulation. And the experimental results are confirmed through sea-trial using multi-single sensors.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algerian for wavelet-based sti image coding method that utilizes the rate-distortion (R-D) theory. Since conventional tree-structured image coding schemes do not consider the rate-distortion theory properly, they show reduced coding performance. In this paper, we apply an rate-distortion optimized embedding (RDE) operation into the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm. In this algorithm, we use the rate-distortion slope as a criterion for the coding order of wavelet coefficients in SPIHT lists. We also describe modified set partitioning and rate-distortion optimized list scan methods. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the SPIHT algorithm and the rate-distortion optimized embedding algerian with respect to the PSNR (peak signal-to-noise ratio) performance.

본 논문에서는 영상의 텍스쳐 정보를 이용하여 일반 영상에 대한 내용기반 영상 검색을 수행할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안한다. Gabor 웨이브렛 변환을 이용하여 Gabor 필터 뱅크 내의 각 필터에 의해 필터링된 대역의 평균과 표준편차를 영상의 특징 벡터(Gabor Texture Feature)로 추출하여 영상들간의 유사성을 계산하는데 사용한다. 논문의 목적이 영상에 가해진 외적 변형, 즉 잡음 첨가, 블러링, 샤프닝 등과 같은 변형에 강인하게 동작할 수 있는 텍스쳐 특징 기반 영상 검색 기법을 제안하는 것이므로, 기존의 Gabor 필터만을 사용하여 텍스쳐 특징을 추출하여 검색의 기준으로 삼을 경우에 발생할 수 있는 주파수 성분의 변화에 대한 민감성을 Daubechies의 웨이브렛 필터를 사용하여 낮은 해상도에서 영상을 해석함으로써, 외적 변형에 대하여도 강인하게 동작할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제시하였다. 기존의 텍스쳐를 이용한 검색이 주로 텍스쳐 영역(textured region)에 대한 해석만을 하였지만, 본 논문에서는 이를 일반 영상에 적용하였으며, 일반 영상에 대해서도 효율적인 검색을 수행할 수 있음을 보였다.

This paper proposes a new denosing method using wavelet packet, to reject unknown external noise and white gaussian ambient noise for measuring the transient noise which is one of the important elements for ship classification. The previous denosing method applied the same wavelet threshold at each node of multi-single sensors for rejecting white noise is not adequate in the underwater environment existing lots of external noises. The proposed algorithm of this paper applies a modified soft-threshold to each node according to the discriminated threshold so as to reject unknown external noise and white gaussian ambient noise. It is verified by numerical simulation that the SNR is increased more than 25㏈. And the simulation results are confirmed through sea-trial using multi-single sensors.

본 논문은 교차로에 설치된 영상검지기로부터 들어온 교통정보 중 공간교통정보에 해당하는 차량 대기길이를 측정을 하는 방법으로 각 차선(lane)별 검지영역에 대하여 웨이브렛 변형(Wavelet Transforms)을 하여 차량을 검지하고, 검지영역 내에서 차량의 대기길이를 측정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 방법으로는 차량 윤곽선 추출(edge detection)을 이용한 대기길이 측정 방법이나 배경(background)정보를 사전에 입수한 후 임계값 이상의 변화가 있을 때 차량을 검지하여 대기길이를 측정하는 방법 등이 연구되어 왔으나 이러한 방법들은 영상의 노이즈에 대하여 크게 영향을 받는다는 문제점이 있다. 그러나 본 알고리즘은 영상의 노이즈에 대하여 크게 영향을 받지 않을 뿐만 아니라 시간대 변화에 따른 도로의 명암값(intensity or gray level)을 추정할 필요가 없다는 특징이 있다. 특히, 야간 영상인 경우 차량 헤드라이트로 인한 검지오류도 감소할 수가 있다. 본 논문에서 실험은 주간, 야간 각각 1개 차선의 80개 표본크기로 실험을 하였으며, 대기길이는 정지 대기길이(standing queue length)와 이동 대기길이(moving queue length)로 나누어 측정을 하였다. 그 결과 주간, 야간의 경우 정지 대기길이는 2.14%, 2.24%, 이동 대기길이는 2.59%, 2.74%의 오차율로 측정이 되었다.

The unsteady nature of vortex structures has been investigated by a large eddy simulation (LES) in an axial flow fan with a shroud covering only the rear region of its rotor tip. The simulation shows that the tip vortex plays a major role in the structure and unsteady behavior of the vortical flow in the fan. The movements of the vortex structures induce high-pressure fluctuations on the rotor blade and in the blade passage. Frequency characteristics of the fluctuating pressure on the rotor blade are analyzed using wavelet transform. The dominant frequency of the real-time pressure selected at the high pressure fluctuation region corresponds well to that of the fluctuating rotor torque and the experimental result of fan noise. It is mainly generated due to the unsteady behavior of the vortical flow, such as the tip vortex and the leading edge separation vortex.

The rapid development of digital media and communication network urgently brings about the need of data certification technology to protect IPR (Intellectual property right). This paper proposed a new watermarking method for embedding owner's audio signal. Because this method uses an audio signal as a watermark to be embedded, it is very useful to claim the ownership aurally. And it has the advantage of restoring audio signal modified and especially removed by image removing attacks by applying our LBX(Linear Bit-expansion) interleaving. Three basic stages of our watermarking include: 1) Encode . analogue owner's audio signal by PCM and create new digital audio watermark, 2) Interleave an audio watermark by our LBX; and 3) Embed the interleaved audio watermark in the low frequency band on DTn (Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform) of image. The experimental results prove that this method is resistant to lossy JPEG compression as standard image compression and especially to cropping and rotation which remove a part of Image.

Structural measurements obtained from accelerometers, strain gauges. and tilt meters at Ieodo ocean research station was analyzed. In the acceleration signals, dynamic characteristics of the station were round by using the measured dynamic responses under different wave attacks and were compared with those by numerical analysis. Data from strain gauges and tilt-meters were also analyzed to identify the present state of dynamic response. Effect of wave height on the dynamic characteristics were investigated. The present results and those which will be measured and analyzed later can be used to identify and to assess the state of the station whether it is health or not.

Due to the prevalence of digital camera, multi-media etc. the image is being used in everyday life. However, noise always damages the image and the image denoising technology is important part for improving the image visual quality. There are many existing methods to remove noise such as wiener filter, mean filter and VisuShrink etc. However, they perform not good enough for denoising. Hence, in this paper we proposed a hybrid filter algorithm which consists of wiener filter and modified wavelet based thresholding method using adaptive threshold and thresholding function. The proposed algorithm shows not only better low frequency and high frequency property, but also the outstanding noise suppression and edge preservation properties.
