The MF(matched filter) is the optimum signal detector that maximizes the output instantaneous signal power to average noise power ratio in white noise environment. But it cannot give the optimum detection performance if the background noise is not white. So, the whitening process preceding the matched filter is needed in the conventional detector which results in a PWMF(pre-whitening matched filter). Its performance is mainly affected by the estimation accuracy of non-white noise model which is used in the whitening procedure. To estimate more accurate model to improve performance, the computational complexity is increased. Therefore, a spectrum based detector which shows better performance than the PWMF under the similar complexity condition or less complexity under the similar performance condition is proposed in this paper. And its performance and complexity are analyzed and compared with the conventional PWMF.

Image mosaicking, which combines several images into one image, is effective for analyzing images and important in various fields of spatial information such as a continuous image map. The crucial processes of the image mosaicking are optimal seamline determination and color correction of mosaicked images. In this study, the overlap regions were determined by SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) for image matching. Based on the characteristics of the edges extracted by Canny filter, seamline candidates were selected from classified edges with their characteristics, and the edges were connected by using Dijkstra algorithm. In particular, anisotropic filter and image pyramid were applied to extract reliable seamlines. In addition, it was possible to determine seamlines effectively and efficiently by utilizing building and road layers from digital maps. Finally, histogram matching and seamline feathering were performed to improve visual quality of the mosaicked images.

In this paper, a highly efficiency power amplifier is presented for multi-band antenna system. The class F power amplifier operating in dual-band designed with one LDMOSFET. An operating frequency of power amplifier is 900 MHz and 2.14 GHz respectively Matching networks and harmonic control circuits of amplifier are designed by using the unit cell of composite right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line(TL) realized with lumped elements. The CRLH TL can lead to metamaterial transmission line with the dual-band holing capability. The dual-band operation of the CRLH TL is achieved by the frequency offset and the nonlinear phase slope of the CRLH TL for the matching network of the power amplifier. Because the control of all harmonic components for high efficiency is very difficult, we have controled only the second- and third-harmonics to obtain the high efficiency with the CRLH TL. Also, the proposed power amplifier has been realized by using the harmonic control circuit for not only the output matching network, but also the input matching network for better efficiency.

본 논문에서는 건물이 포함된 스테레오 영상으로부터 건물을 3차원적으로 복원하기 위한 선소 특징 기반 정합 알고리듬에 대해 다루고 있다. 기존의 선소 특징 기반 정합 알고리듬은 선소 추출 기법의 성능에 많이 의존하고, 좌우 영상에서 추출된 에지 길이와 방향이 서로 차이가 날 경우 오정합이 많이 발생한다. 따라서, 건물의 형태를 올바르게 나타내지 못하는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여 선소의 중심 및 양 끝점 외에 선소에 방향까지 고려하는 새로운 탐색 영역 설정 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 선소기반 정합에서 정합이 잘 이뤄지지 않는 수평선 정합 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 한편 편평한 건물 가정 하에서 미정합된 건물 내부의 변이값을 얻기 위해 건물 추출 결과와 정합된 선소들을 이용한 보간법을 사용하였다. 제안한 알고리듬을 스테레오 항공 영상에 적용한 결과, 기존의 Hussien 등이 제안한 알고리듬에 비해 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Stereo matching is one of the most active research areas in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a stereo matching scheme using genetic algorithm for object depth recognition. The proposed approach considers the matching environment as an optimization problem and finds the optimal solution by using an evolutionary strategy. Accordingly, genetic operators are adapted for the circumstances of stereo matching. An individual is a disparity set. Horizontal pixel line of image is considered as a chromosome. A cost function is composed of certain constraints which are commonly used in stereo matching. Since the cost function consists of intensity, similarity and disparity smoothness, the matching process is considered at the same time in each generation. The LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) edge is extracted and used in the determination of the chromosome. We validate our approach with experimental results on stereo images.

By the advent of the high-resolution Satellite imagery, there are increasing needs in image mosaicking technology which can be applied to various application fields such as GIS(Geographic Information system). To mosaic images, various methods such as image matching and histogram modification are needed. In this study, automated image mosaicking is performed using image matching method based on the multi-resolution wavelet analysis(MWA). Specifically, both area based and feature based matching method are embedded in the multi-resolution wavelet analysis to construct seam line.; seam points are extracted then polygon clipping method are applied to define overlapped area of two adjoining images. Before mosaicking, radiometric correction is proceeded by using histogram matching method. As a result, mosaicking area is automatically extracted by using polygon clipping method. Also, seamless image is acquired using multi-resolution wavelet analysis.

In this paper, we propose an automatic prostate segmentation method from dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) images. Our method detects contrast-enhanced images among the dynamic MR images using an average intensity analysis. Then, the candidate regions of prostate are detected by the B-spline non-rigid registration and subtraction between the pre-contrast and contrast-enhanced MR images. Finally, the prostate is segmented by performing a dilation operation outward, and sequential shape propagation inward. Our method was validated by ten data sets and the results were compared with the manually segmented results. The average volumetric overlap error was 6.8%, and average absolute volumetric measurement error was 2.5%. Our method could be used for the computer-aided prostate diagnosis, which requires an accurate prostate segmentation.

This paper proposes new features for recognizing telltale bulb in a cluster. A typical feature employed in model-based pattern recognition is polygonal approximation points of object. But recognition using these dominant points has many mismatching counts in small model such as telltale bulb. To reduce mismatching counts, proposed features are the circle distribution of object pixel and the ratio of distance from center to boundary in object. This Paper also proposes new decision function using three features. In simulation result, we make a comparison mismatching counts between recognition using dominant points and the new recognition algorithm using three features.

An efficient approach to recognize occluded objects is to detect a number of essential features on the boundary of the unknown shape. The salient points including corner points, tangential points and inflection points are detected by the relation of neighboring pixels of each pixel on the boundaries. Corner points are usually detected in the curvature function and tangential points and inflection points are detected by median filtering the curvature function to avoid the effect of quantization noise as corner points is not sufficient to represent an object with lines and arcs. Then, these salient points are used as features for object matching. Discrete Hopfield Neural Network is used for object matching. Experimental results show that the matching result using salient points is better than those of using corner points only when an object consists of lines and arcs.
