In this paper, it was performed the analysis on various intersection acoustic patterns for detection rate improvement of accident sound detection system : an acoustic pattern analysis on general traffic noise, an acoustic pattern analysis on engine noise, an acoustic pattern analysis on obstruct factors for accident sound detection system. There are remarkable differences between the acoustic patterns of traffic noise and accident sound, and we most consider the acoustic patterns when we compose the accident traffic detection system by acoustic because there is error range of 20[dB] according to the volume of traffic in intersection.

Many image compression standards such as JPEG, MPEG or H.263 are based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and quantization method. Quantization error. is the major source of image quality degradation. The current dequantization method assumes the uniform distribution of the DCT coefficients. Therefore the dequantization value is the center of each quantization interval. However DCT coefficients are regarded to follow Laplacian probability density function (pdf). The center value of each interval is not optimal in reducing squared error. We use mean of the quantization interval assuming Laplacian pdf, and show the effect of correction on image quality. Also, we compare existing quantization error to corrected quantization error in closed form. The effect of PSNR improvements due to the compensation to the real image is in the range of 0.2 ∼0.4 ㏈. The maximum correction value is 1.66 ㏈.

Recently the Time Delay Control (TDC) method has been proposed as a promising technique in the robust control area, where the plants have nonlinear dynamics with parameter variations and substantial disturbances are present. TDC method, however, requires the measurements of all the state variables, together with their derivatives. This requirement imposes a severe limitation on the applications to most real systems. In order to solve this measurement problem, we proposed an observer design method that can stably reconstruct the state variables and their derivatives. the stability of the overall system has been analyzed and proved. Then, for a simulation study, the controller/observer based on our design method has been applied to a nonlinear plant, the result of which confirmed that the controller/observer performs satisfactorily as predicted, Finally we made experimentations on a DC servo motor that is substantial amount of inertia variations and external disturbances. the results showed that the controller/observer performs quite robustly under those variations and disturbances, and is much less sensitive to sensor noise than the controller using numerical differentiations.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 이동하는 표적의 위치를 추정하기 위한 연구는 센서 노드의 에너지가 제한 되어 있어 센서 노드 상호간의 협력적인 신호처리 기법이 필수적이다. 기존의 무선 센서 네트워크에서 이동 표적의 위치를 추정하는 방법은 각 센서 노드에서 이동 표적으로부터 수신된 신호를 이용해 수신신호강도, 잡음제거, 압축 등의 신호처리를 수행하고 기지국으로 전송하는 형태이다. 이런 기존의 기법은 애드 호크 방법의 무선 센서 네트워크에는 적용이 어렵고, 각 센서 노드에서 신호처리 및 통신에 의한 에너지 소모가 크기 때문에 무선 센서 네트워크의 생존 시간이 짧아지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 기반의 무선 센서 네트워크의 협력적 신호 처리 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 웨이블릿 변환을 이용한 센서노드에서의 에너지 효율적 특징추출을 수행하고 각 센서 노드간의 특징 전송을 통해 표적의 위치를 추정한다.

This paper presents a Electrocardiogram(ECG) identification method using adaptive weight based on Least Mean Square Error(LMSE) optimization. With a preprocessing for noise suppression, we extracts the average ECG signal and its standard deviation at every time instant. Then the extracted information is stored in database. ECG identification is achieved by matching an input ECG signal with the information in database. In computing the matching scores, the standard deviation is used. The scores are computed by applying adaptive weights to the values of the input signal over all time instants. The adaptive weight consists of two terms. The first term is the inverse of the standard deviation of an input signal. The second term is the proportional one to the standard deviation between user SAECGs stored in the DB. Experimental results show up to 100% recognition rate for 32 registered people.

To establish eye contact in video teleconferencing, it is necessary to synthesize a front view image by viewpoint interpolation. We can find the viewing direction of a user, and interpolate an image seen from that viewpoint, which will result in a face image observed from the front. There are two categories of previous research: image based method and model based method. The former is simple to calculate, however, it shows limited performance for complex objects. And the latter is robust to noise while it is computationally expensive. We propose to approximate face images as ellipses and match them to build an ellipsoid and then synthesize a new image from a given virtual camera position. We show that it is simple and robust from various experiments.

The existing edge detection methods can not represent the real edge of object at fitting point or detect the edge which has unsufficient connecting trait. Especially, the two-fold thick edge detected by these methods cannot coincide real boundary of subject and it's location. To overcome these problems, we introduce the Genetic Algorithm(GA) in edge detection. The energy function is the value of fixel's satisfaction degree to edge condition. And it consists of the fitness value to image formation type, fitness value to connecting trait to it's neighboring edge and evalulation function which can represents the edge at fitting point as one fixel. This method is superior to remove the noise in edge detection than the existing methods. And it also detects the clear and exact edge because it can find the one fixel which is located at fitting point and has strong connecting trait.

최근 삶의 수준의 향상과 의학 기술의 발전으로 노인 인구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 늘어나는 노인 인구에 비례하여 신체적 노화로 거동이 어려운 노인의 수 또한 증가하는 추세이다. 실제로 많은 노인 인구가 거동이 불편해 정상적인 생활을 하지 못하고 있기 때문에 보행 시 적절한 힘을 보조해 줄 수 있는 보행 보조 장치의 개발이 필요하다. 이 같은 보행 보조 장치를 개발함에 있어 보행자의 보행 패턴이 고려된다면 보행자의 걸음걸이에 맞춰 자연스럽게 힘을 보조해 줄 수 있기 때문에 보행자의 보행 단계 분류에 관한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 하지 근전도 신호를 이용해 보행 단계를 구분하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 근전도 신호는 근육이 움직일 때 발생하는 아주 작은 전기적인 신호이다. 근전도 신호는 작은 잡음에도 민감하며, 전극을 부착하는 근육의 위치에 따라서도 값의 차이가 크기 때문에 근전도 신호의 획득 및 처리 방법이 중요하다. 위를 위해 피실험자 별 근육의 위치와 보행 속도를 달리하여 근전도 신호를 획득하고 획득한 신호로부터 여러 특징 값을 추출한다. 그리고 새로운 데이터에 대해 적응성이 강하고 시간에 따라 변하는 근전도 신호의 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있으며 각 집합(class)의 비선형 분리가 가능한 퍼지 최대-최소 신경망(Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network: FMMNN)을 이용해 보행 단계를 분류해 본다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증해 보고 보행자, 보행속도, 근전도 측정을 위한 근육의 위치가 보행 패턴 분류에 미치는 영향을 알아본다.

This paper has been studied for a comparison of the propagation and noise characteristics between ultrasonic and electromagnetic wave for the high speed communication of the short range telemetry. We analyze the propagation depth of electromagnetic and ultrasonic wave by skin depth effect and by ultrasonic loss ratio. We also studied several effects such as near field effect in electromagnetic wave and Rayleigh scattering noise of ultrasonic wave, etc. We show the experimental results of their propagation loss and modulation experiments in water. The experimental results show that both method is good for the implementation of short range telemetry.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated wideband 3-axis isotropic antenna for the Electro-Magnetic Fields(EMFs) measurement. Each part of proposed 3-axis antenna has isotropic characteristics and arbitrary axis of proposed 3-axis antenna could be selectable using RF switch. Also, a resistor was inserted in each axis of proposed 3-axis antenna for improving antenna gain and noise suppression characteristics, and port impedance of each dipole antenna were matched by balun. For the performance verification of antenna, GTEM Cell which generates standard electromagnetic field was used for the derivation of antenna factor and receiver sensitivity. As a result, fabricated 3-axis isotropic antenna has receiver sensitivity of 0.12~4.2 mV/m and typical VSWR of 3.3:1 within a wide operation frequency range from 0.03 MHz to 3 GHz.
