A receiver architecture with low complexity for chirp spread spectrum (CSS) of IEEE 802.15.4a is proposed. To demodulate the received signal at the highest signal to noise power ratio, matched filter is generally adopted for the receiver of wireless communication systems. It is, however, not resonable to adjust the matched filter to the receiver of CSS whose objectives are low complexity, low cost and low power consumption since complexity of the matched filter is high. In this paper, we propose a new receiver architecture using differential multiplication and accumulator not matched filter for demodulation. Also, bi-orthogonal decoder implemented by only adder/subtractor is proposed. The hardware resources for implementation are reduced in the proposed receiver architecture, although bit error rate performance is low compared with the receiver architecture based on the matched filter.

A new frequency offset estimation algorithm for chirp spread spectrum based on matched filter is proposed. Generally, the differential phase between successive symbols is used for the conventional frequency offset estimation algorithm. However, if the conventional frequency offset estimation algorithm is used for CSS, phase ambiguity arises because of long symbol duration and guard time. The phase ambiguity causes performance degradation of matched filter since the received signal is corrupted by the integer frequency offset. In this paper, we propose a new frequency offset estimation algorithm which separates integer and fractional frequency offset estimation for removing the phase ambiguity. The proposed algorithm estimates the integer frequency offset by using differential phase between matched filtering results of sub-chirps and successive symbols. Then, the fractional frequency offset is estimated by using the differential phase between successive symbols Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm well removes the phase ambiguity, and have almost same estimation performance compared with conventional one when there is not the phase ambiguity.

Face recognition is very challenging because of the unexpected changes of pose, expression, and illumination. Facial detection in the mobile environments has additional difficulty since the computational resources are very limited. This paper discusses face detection based on frequency domain matched filtering in the mobile environments. Face detection is performed by a linear or phase-only matched filter and sequential verification stages. The candidate window regions are selected by a number of peaks of the matched filtering outputs. The sequential stages comprise a skin-color test and an edge mask filtering tests, which aim to remove false alarms among selected candidate windows. The algorithms are built with JAVA language on the mobile device operated by the Android platform. The simulation and experimental results show that real-time face detection can be performed successfully in the mobile environments.

In shallow water environment, the detection performance of an active sonar using matched filter with LFM(linear frequency modulation) pulse can be seriously degraded by reverberation which is considered as non-white noise. To reduce the effect of reverberation, a whitening filter preceding the matched fitter, is usually adopted. In the conventional pre-whitening filter, it is assumed that local stationarity is preserved between detection block and its right ahead block. And then by using the characteristics of the reverberation of preceding block, the reverberation of detection block is estimated and whitened. According to the environment of shallow water, the stationarity of reverberation may be preserved for more blocks. In this case, the reverberation of the detection block can be estimated more accurately if more blocks are used. In this paper, the real reverberation signal which is obtained from shallow sea is analyzed and its proper region of estimation block is examined. And the performance of pre-whitening matched filter is compared and analyzed according to the region of estimation block.

In this paper, we design wavelet matched filters using Wavelet Transform available in the field of time-frequency analysis, for the optical patter recognition, and study optical correlation properites according to variations of the dilation factor of wavelet functions, which were compared with conventional matched filter and POF. We have found that the wavelet matched filters depend upon the shapes if used input patterns and dilation factors of the wavelet function in order to have the best dicriminability. Also, we show the edge enhanced effects of 2-D image, which is one of the properities of the wavelet transform. If has been found that the wavelet matched filter can discriminate better than the conventional matched filter and POF owing to their bandpass properties, and found that the proposed wavelet matched filters have more sensitive correlation response than POF.

본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반 특징점 필터링 방법을 이용한 원격 탐사 영상에 대한 영상 정합 (Image Registration) 고속화 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 특징 기반 영상 정합 방법의 복잡도는 특징 매칭 (Feature Matching) 단계에서 발생한다. 이 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여 본 논문에서는 특징 매칭이 영상의 인공구조물에서 검출된 특징점으로 매칭되는 것을 확인하여 특징점 검출기에서 검출된 특징점 중에서 인공구조물에서 검출된 특징점만 필터링하는 방법을 제안한다. 딥러닝 기반 특징점 필터링은 영상 정합을 위하여 필수적인 특징점을 잃지 않으면서 그 수를 줄이기 위하여 인공구조물의 경계와 인접한 특징점을 보존하고, 축소한 영상을 사용하며, 영상 분할(Image Segmentation) 방법의 결과에서 생기는 영상 패치 경계의 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 영상 패치를 중복하여 잘라 냄으로써 정합 속도와 정확도를 향상시킨다. 영상 정합 고속화 방법을 의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 아리랑 3 호 위성 원격 탐사 영상을 사용하여 기존 특징점 추출 방법과 속도와 정확도를 비교하였다. 딥러닝 기반 영상 정합 방법을 기준으로 하여 비교하였을 때 특징점의 수를 약 82% 감소시키면서 속도를 약 9.17 배 향상시켰지만 정확도가 0.985 에서 0.855 으로 저하되었다.

For wide-band spread spectrum communication systems such as IMT-2000, a digital matched filter is a key device for rapid spreading code synchronization. Although a digital matched filter can be implemented easily, large power consumption at the higher chip rate and large summation delay of longer chip length are the bottleneck of practical use. In this paper, we propose a optimized partial correlation digital matched filter structure which can be constructed of the so-called generalized hierarchical Golay sequence. a partial correlation structure can reduce the number of correlators, but enlarge the size of flip-flops. In this paper, The proposed approach focuses on efficient circuit size, power dissipation, maintaining the operating throughput. A proposed digital matched filter reduce the size of flip-flops by rounding method. and it reduces about 45 percentages of power dissipation and chip area as compared with digital matched filter which is not rounded. rounding. The proposed architecture was verified by using Xilinx FPGA.
