This paper describes the determination of threshold value in order to determine the presence of absence of weak signal with SNR of 0 dB in 100kHz bandwidth. As a detection method, it has been used a recent LOC structure fitting for detecting weak signal in stead of a conventional method like Neyman-Peason crtical criterion. The signal for detection is the OOK modulation signal used in data and morse code transmission. The non-Gaussian noise similar to Laplacian type has been chosen in transmission path. As a result of experiment, comparing probability of detection by one critical point with that by two critical points with fixing as arbitrary false alarm probability, we have found that method has been shown to be better than the conventional method.

This study is to propose the temporal pattern of design rainfall which causes maximum peak discharge, and to analyze the relation of catchment characteristics and critical durations for gauged midsize catchment. Hydrologic analysis has done over the 44 midsize catchments with 50-5,000$\textrm{km}^2$. The type of temporal pattern of design rainfall which causes maximum peak discharge has resulted in Huff's 4 quartile distribution method for effective rainfall(AMC III) The peak discharges of 24hr rainfall duration are similar to those of critical duration for 50-600$\textrm{km}^2$, and the peak discharges of 48hr rainfall duration are similar to those of critical duration for 600-5,000$\textrm{km}^2$. Therefore, if the proper rainfall intensity formula is selected, 24hr or 48hr rainfall duration may be regarded as the critical duration of midsize catchment. A simple regression equation is derived by using a catchment area and critical duration with high correlation for the case of effective rainfall(AMC III). Therefore, it can be used to determine the critical duration of ungauged catchment with 50-5,000$\textrm{km}^2$. Also, dimensionless regression equation is derived by using characteristic values of unit hydrograph.

This paper presents an efficient pre echo control scheme for MPEG Audio coders based on the psychoacoustic model II (PAM-II). Pre echo control is the final step for the calculation of masking threshold in the PAM II. It is to minimize the spread of quantization error over the processing frame. In the conventional encoders, pre echo is reduced by restricting the estimated masking threshold not to exceed the one obtained in the previous frame. The conventional method performs pre echo control not only for short blocks but also for long blocks, which lowers the masking threshold in long blocks and, in turn, increases the quantization noise level of corresponding blocks. This paper proposes an efficient pre echo control process. The test result shows a mean enhancement of more than 0.4 especially for complex signals on the ITU R 5 point audio impairment scale.

In this paper, we propose a new method for determining automatically the size of the matching window using histogram of the gradient in order to improve the performance of stereo matching using one-meter resolution satellite imagery. For each pixel, we generate Flatness Index Image by calculating the mean value of the vertical or horizontal intensity gradients of the 4-neighbors of every pixel in the entire image. The edge pixel has high flatness index value, while the non-edge pixel has low flatness index value. By using the histogram of the Flatness Index Image, we find a flatness threshold value to determine whether a pixel is edge pixel or non-edge pixel. If a pixel has higher flatness index value than the flatness threshold value, we classify the pixel into edge pixel, otherwise we classify the pixel into non-edge pixel. If the ratio of the number of non-edge pixels in initial matching window is low, then we consider the pixel to be in homogeneous region and enlarge the size of the matching window We repeat this process until the size of matching window reaches to a maximum size. In the experiment, we used IKONOS satellite stereo imagery and obtained more improved matching results than the matching method using fixed matching window size.

This paper presents two methods for automatic estimation of threshold values in unsupervised change detection of multi-temporal remote sensing images. The proposed methods consist of two analytical steps. The first step is to compute the parameters of a 3-component Gaussian mixture model from difference or ratio images. The second step is to determine a threshold value using Bayesian rule for minimum error. The first method which is an extended version of Bruzzone and Prieto' method (2000) is to apply an Expectation-Maximization algorithm for estimation of the parameters of the Gaussian mixture model. The second method is based on an iterative thresholding algorithm that successively employs thresholding and estimation of the model parameters. The effectiveness and applicability of the methods proposed here were illustrated by two experiments and one case study including the synthetic data sets and KOMPSAT-1 EOC images. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively estimate the model parameters and the threshold value determined shows the minimum overall error.

The Depth Picture can be Encoded by the Plane Coding Mode that is the Method for Coding Mode by Considering a Part of the Picture as the Plane. In this Paper, we Propose the Method of Determining the Variable-sized Block for Variable Block Coding in the Plane Coding Mode for the Depth Picture. The Depth Picture Can be Encoded in the Plane Coding Through Estimating the Plane Which is Close to Pixels in the Block Using Depth Information. The Variable-sized Block Coding in the Plane Coding can be Applied as Follows. It Calculates the Prediction Error between Predicted Depths by the Plane Estimation and the Measured Depths. If Prediction Error is Below the Threshold, the Block is Encoded by Current Size. Otherwise, it Divides the Block and Repeats Above. If the Block is Divided Below the Minimum Size, the Block is not Encoded by the Plane Coding Mode. The Result of the Simulation of the Proposed Method Shows that the Number of Encoded Block is Reduced to 19% as Compared with the Method Using the Fixed-sized Block in the Depth Picture Composed of one Plane.

Least squares ($l^2$ norm) solutions of seismic inversion tend to be very sensitive to data points with large errors. The $l^1$ norm minimization gives more robust solutions, but usually with higher computational cost. Iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) method gives efficient approximate solutions of these $l^1$ norm problems. I propose an efficient implementation of the IRLS method for a hybrid $l^1/l^2$ minimization problem that behaves as $l^2$ norm fit for small residual and $l^1$ norm fit for large residuals. The proposed algorithm shows more robust characteristics to the decision of the threshold value than the l1 norm IRLS inversion does with respect to the threshold value to avoid singularity.

In this paper we employ two-sample location tests such as Wilcoxon test and T test for detecting edges in noisy images. For this, we compute a test statistic on pixel gray levels obtained using an edge-height parameter and compare it with a threshold determined by a significance level. Experimental results applied to sample images are given and performances of these tests in terms of the objective measure are compared.

정보이론에서 엔트로피는 불확실성 또는 복잡성을 정량적으로 표현할 수 있는 개념이다. 이 개념을 차용하여 칼라 이미지에서 지역적인 복잡성을 R,G,B에 대해서 각각 엔트로피로 계산하고 R,G,B의 통계적인 특성을 고려하여 가중치를 부여하여 평균값을 구한 후 이 값을 임계치와 비교하여 복잡도가 큰 픽셀을 외곽선의 일부로 결정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안 알고리즘을 기존의 소벨과 프레윗 알고리즘과 비교한 결과 다양한 임계치 값에 대해서 기존 알고리즘보다 시각적으로 우수한 외곽선 겸출 효과를 가짐을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 무선 ATM 망에서 멀티 서비스 클래스를 지원하기 위하여 핸드오프로 인한 이동 특성과 호 수준의 QoS를 고려한 동적 무선 자원 관리 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 기법은 무선 자원을 우선적으로 핸드오프 호에게 할당하고 새로운 호에게도 서비스 확률에 의하여 동적으로 자원을 할당하도록 한다. 서비스 확률은 전체 무선 대역폭, 임계값, 사용중인 무선 대역폭, 이동 특성, 그리고 서비스 클래스별 조정값을 이용하여 동적으로 결정된다. 또한 제안한 기법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 수학적 분석을 실시하였고 핸드오프 호의 강제 종료 확률, 새로운 호의 블록킹 확률, 자원 이용률 관점에서 기존의 기법과 비교하였다.
