최근 국내에는 원활한 교통 흐름을 위해 연륙교, 연도교등 다수의 해상 교량을 보유함에 따라 통항 안전 관련 해상사고 발생 가능성이 증가하고 있다. 반송파 위상정보를 이용한 정밀측위기법을 선박항해에 적용하기 위해서는 항해시 교량 및 시설물 등의 영향으로 위성 신호세기가 미약해지는 환경에서도 정밀측위의 연속성을 유지해야한다. 그러나 반송파 위상 정보는 미약한 위성신호세기 환경에서 측정잡음이 급격히 증가하여 반송파 미지정수 검색 및 유지를 어렵게하고 이로 인해 정밀측위를 불가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 위성신호가 미약해지는 환경에서 정밀측위의 연속성을 유지하기 위하여 관성센서 정보를 이용하였다. 관성센서와 위성정보를 이용하여 해당위성의 ICP(Integrated Carrier Phase)를 추정한다. 추정한 ICP를 이용하여 반송파 위성을 재구성함으로써 끊김없이 반송파 미지정수를 유지하여 연속적이며 안정적인 측위결과를 생성한다.

본 논문에서는 영상의 화질 개선을 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 방법인 미디안 필터와 샤프닝 필터의 단점들을 개선한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 영상의 통계적 정보를 이용하여 평탄영역과 평탄하지 않은 영역을 구분하고 각 영역에 대해 저주파 통과 필터와 고주파 통과필터를 각기 다르게 적용하여 기존의 다른 화질 개선 필터 보다 향상된 개선 효과를 기대 할 수 있다. 또한 적용할 스케일 값의 크기만 결정하면 각 화소에서의 범주와 세기는 영상의 통계적 정보를 이용한 매핑 함수를 통해 자동으로 생성된다. 따라서 기존의 미디안 필터와 샤프닝 필터가 가지고 있던 복잡한 파라메터의 설정과정이 필요 없이 평탄영역에서의 잡음제거 및 블러링 효과와 활동성이 높은 영역에서의 선명화 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있다.

It is difficult to track and extract the movement of an object through a camera exactly because of noises and changes of the light. The fast searching algorithm is necessary to extract the object and to track the movement for realtime image. In this paper, we propose the correct and fast algorithm using the variable searching area and the background image change method to robustic for the change of background image. In case the threshold value is smaller than reference value on an experimental basis, change the background image. When it is bigger, we decide it is the point of the time of the object input and then extract boundary point of it through the pixel check. The extracted boundary points detect precise movement of the object by creating area block of it and searching block that maintaining distance. The designed and embodied system shows more than 95% accuracy in the experimental results.

The development of direct receiver techniques is expected to be a solution for future wideband or multi-band wireless systems based on software defined radio. In this Paper, we study the regeneration of I and Q signals for the SDR based direct conversion receiver, so that we can handle a wide bandwidth and maintain maximal flexibility in system utilization. After modeling the basic system considering the real wireless communication environment, and studying the impact of imperfect phase imbalance on the performance of a direct conversion receiver, we propose a suboptimal I and Q signal regeneration algorithm for the system. The proposed algerian regenerates I and Q signals using a real time early-late compensator which effectively estimates phase imbalances and gives feedback in a directreceiver. The proposed algorithm is shown to mitigate the impact of AWGN and improves performance especially at low SNR channel condition. According to the computer simulation, the BER performance of the proposed system is at least about 4 dB better than conventional systems under $45{\~}55$ degrees random phase errors.

The image compression based on discrete wavelet transform has been widely accepted in industry since it shows no block artifacts and provides a better image quality when compressed to low bits per pixel, compared to the traditional JPEG. The coefficients generated by discrete wavelet transform are quantized to reduce the number of code bits to represent them. After quantization, lossless coding processes are usually applied to make further reduction. This paper presents a new and efficient lossless coding algorithm for quantified wavelet coefficients based on the statistical properties of the coefficients. Combined with discrete wavelet transform and quantization processes, our algorithm has been implemented as an image compression chip, using 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ standard cells. The experimental results show the efficiency and performance of the resulting chip.

In this paper, we propose the possibility of introducing chaotic sequences into digital watermarking systems as potential substitutes to commonly used pseudo noise sequences. Chaotic sequences have several good properties including the availability of a great number of them, the ease of their generation, as well as their sensitive dependence on their initial conditions. And the quantization does not destroy the good property. So this paper proposes a method that transforms Hangul text to chaotic sequence. And we presents how the Hangul text is expressed by an implied data and the implied data is regenerated into the original text. In this paper, we use this implied Hangul text for watermarking.

This paper describe to extract speech measure algorithm for evaluating a speech database, and presents generating method of a speech quality measure using DNN(Deep Neural Network). In our previous study, to produce an effective speech quality measure, we propose a combination of various speech measures which are highly correlated with WER(Word Error Rate). The new combination of various types of speech quality measures in this study is more effective to predict the speech recognition performance compared to each speech measure alone. In this paper, we describe the method of extracting measure using DNN, and we change one of the combined measure from GMM(Gaussican Mixture Model) score used in the previous study to DNN score. The combination with DNN score shows a higher correlation with WER compared to the combination with GMM score.

In a Hough transform that is a representative algorithm for the straight line detection, a great number of edge pixels generated from noisy or complex images cause enormous amount of computation and pseudo straight lines. This paper proposes a two step straight line detection algorithm to improve the conventional Hough transform. In the first step, the proposed algorithm divides an image into non-overlapping blocks and detects the information related to the straight line of the edge pixels in the block using a principal component analysis (PCA). In the second step, it detects the straight lines by performing the Hough transform limited slope area to the pixels associated with the straight line. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces average of ${\rho}$ computation by 94.6% and prevents the pseudo straight lines although some additional computation is needed.

In this paper, we present a method to detect an object such as ship, rock and buoy from sea IR image for the safety navigation. To this end, we do the image smoothing first and the apply watershed algorithm to segment image into subregions. Since watershed algorithm almost always produces over-segmented regions, it requires posterior merging process to get meaningful segmented regions. We propose an efficient merger algorithm that requires only two times of direct access to the pixels regardless of the number of regions. Also by analyzing IR image obtained from sea environments, we could find out that most horizontal edge come out from object regions. For the given input IR image we extract horizontal edge and eliminate isolated edges produced from background and noises by adopting morphological operator. Among the segmented regions, the regions that have horizontal edges are extracted as final results. Experimental results show the adequacy of the proposed method.
