In this study the problems of cell marking method used in the field of ATM network traffic control are presented. Also an extended cell marking method considering the user level priority is proposed. The conventional traffic monitoring schemes set the CLP bit of a cell to 1 only under the circumstance of the violation of traffic contract. It causes that the number of low level cells increases and the levels of cells are lowered regardless of the user level priority. The three level priority control method combining FCI bit with CLP bit has also been proposed. It divides CLP=0 cells into two levels. Consequently, the proposed method preserves more cells in high level than the conventional one and the real loss of high level cells can be reduced. The performance of the proposed scheme has also been analyzed by the PBS(partial buffer sharing) with two thresholds for the proposed three levels. The result shows that the PBS with two thresholds can give more efficient control than the scheme with no priority, or the PBS with one threshold.

임계값을 이용한 영상 분할은 대표적인 영상 분할 기법으로 Otsu의 임계값 결정법, Fuzzy 엔트로피를 이용한 H&W의 기법 및 Clustering을 이용한 Kwon의 기법 등 많은 방법이 있다. 대부분의 임계값 결정 기법은 영상에서 얻어진 빈도수 히스토그램의 분석을 통해서 임계값을 결정한다. 특히 Otsu의 임계값 결정 기법은 빈도수 히스토그램의 분산을 최대화하는 방법으로 임계값을 결정하는 빈도수 히스토그램에 기반한 대표적 기법이다. 하지만 영상 기술이 발전함에 따라서 하나의 임계값으로부터 영상을 이진화 하는 기법은 효용성이 떨어지고 있다. 따라서 다중의 임계값을 결정하는 효과적인 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 그레이 레벨간의 관계성을 파악하고 이러한 관계성으로부터 다중의 임계값을 결정하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 효용성은 모의실험에서 다중 임계값을 사용한 분할영상을 통해서 보인다.

Entropy measuring the richness in details of the image is generally obtained by using the histogram of gray levels in an image, and has been widely used as an index for thresholding of the image. In this paper, we propose an entropy-based thresholding method, where the entropy is obtained not by the histogram but by the variance of the gray levels, to binalize a given image. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by thresholding experiments on nine test images and comparison with conventional two thresholding methods, that is, Otsu method and entropy-based method using the histogram.

This paper is to propose an algorithm named as DYSAC to find the critical path(the longest sensitizable path) in a large digital circuit, whose purpose is to reduce the time to find critical path and to find critical paths of the circuits for which the previous methods could not find one. Also a set of path sensitization criteria named as DYPSEC is proposed, which is used to select a path from input to the output inside the DYSAC. The DYSAC consists of two sub-algorithms; the level assignment algorithm to assign a level to each node and the critical path selection algorithm to select the sensitizable path. The proposed algorithm was implemented with C-language on SUN Sparc and applied to the ISCAS'85 benchmark circuits to make sure if it works correctly and finds the correct critical path. Also, the results from the experiments were compared to the results from the previous works. The comparison items were the ability to find the critical path and the speed, in both of which the proposed algorithm in this paper shows better results than others.

Real-time application programs have synchronization constraints which need to be met between media-data. Synchronization method represents feedback method including virtual client-side buffer. This buffer is used in buffer level method. It is client-leading synchronization that is absorbing variable transmission delay time and that is synchronizing by feedback control. It is the important factor for playback rate and QoS if the buffer level is normal or not. To solve the problems, we can control the start of transmission in multimedia server by appling filtering, control and network evaluation function. Synchronization method is processing for smooth presentation without cut-off while media is playing out. When audio frame which is master media is in high threshold buffer level we decrease play out time gradually, otherwise we increase it slowly.

In this paper, we proposed cell priority control with 2-level thresholds, which was considered cell loss and cell delay requirement, in ATM switch with output buffer. Priority control mechanism presented in this paper improved cell loss rate for cell loss censitive cell and cell delay for delay censitive cell. In this mechanism cell loss rate and mean cell delay of cell priority control mechanism were obtained theoretically. The results show that cell loss rate and mean cell delay improvement become better by adjusting two thresholds according to QOS characteristics.

In the medical image application the difference of intensity is widely used for the image segmentation and feature extraction, and a well known method is the threshold technique that determines a threshold value and generates a binary image based on the threshold. A frequently-used threshold technique is the Otsu algorithm that provides efficient processing and effective selection criterion for choosing the threshold value. However, we cannot get good segmentation results by applying the Otsu algorithm to chest X-ray images. It is because there are various organic structures around lung regions such as ribs and blood vessels, causing unclear distribution of intensity levels. To overcome the ambiguity, we propose in this paper an effective algorithm to extract pulmonary regions that utilizes the Otsu algorithm after removing the background of an X-ray image, constructs intensity-level maps, and uses them for segmenting the X-ray image. To verify the effectiveness of our method, we compared it with the existing 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional Otsu algorithms, and also the results by expert's naked eyes. The experimental result showed that our method achieved the more accurate extraction of pulmonary regions compared to the Otsu methods and showed the similar result as the naked eye's one.

본 논문에서는 파이프라인 구조를 이용하여 고성능 1 차원 이산 웨이블렛 변환 필터를 설계하였다. 각 레벨에서 입력이 다운샘플링(downsampling, decimation)되므로 각 레벨의 하드웨어를 폴딩(folding) 기법을 이용하여 곱셈기와 덧셈기를 공유함으로써 복잡도를 개선하였다. 즉, 제안한 구조에서는 레벨 2 와 레벨 3 에서 폴딩된 구조의 C.S.R(Circular Shift Register)곱셈기와 덧셈기를 사용함으로써 하드웨어 효율(hardware utilization)을 각 레벨에서 100%로 높일 수 있다. 또한, 홀수와 짝수의 샘플을 병렬로 입력함으로써 단일 입력의 시스템과 비교할 때, 동일 시간에 병렬화 만큼의 이득을 얻을 수 있었고, 필터 계수는 미러 필터(mirror filter)의 특성을 이용하여 쳐대한 고역 필터(high pass filter)와 저역 필터(low pass filter)의 계수들을 공유함으로써 곱셈기와 덧셈기의 수를 반으로 줄였다. 그리고 임계 경로(critical path)를 줄이기 위한 파이프라인 레지스터를 삽입하여 고성능 시스템을 구현하였다.

Rel-time application programs have constraints which need to be met between media-data. It is client-leading synchronization that is absorbing variable transmission delay time and that is synchronizing by feedback control and palyout control. It is the important factor for playback rate and QoS if the buffer level is normal or not. This paper, The method of maintenance buffer normal state transmits in multimedia server by appling feedback of filtering function. And synchronization method is processing adaptive playout time for smooth presentation without cut-off while media frame is skip. When audio frame which is master media is in upper threshold buffer level we decrease play out time gradually, low threshold buffer level increase it slowly.

In this paper, the leaky electric field intensity of outdoor CATV facilities on CDMA mobile service band defined in technical regulation related with CATV is investigated if appropriate or not. From experimental and theoretical analysis results, Maximum allowable power level of CATV leakage should be -110dBm/1.23MHz. Also, the CATV leakage intensity thresholds, which may not nearly give an impact on the uplink performance of CDMA mobile base station for outdoor background noise of -100~-80dBm/1.23MHz to be measured in outdoor environment, couldn't conform to the current CATV technical regulation. Therefore, the leakage intensity in the current CATV technical regulation is rated as a too much low level in view of an overly worst case.
