Full-image guided filter reflects all pixels of image in filtering by using weight propagation and two-pass model, whereas the existing guide filter is processed based on the kernel window. Therefore the computational complexity can be improved while maintaining characteristics of guide filter, such as edge-preserving, smoothing, and so on. In this paper, we propose an efficient VLSI architecture for the full-image guided filter by analyzing the data dependency, the data frequency and the PSNR analysis of the image in order to achieve enough speed for various applications such as stereo vision, real-time systems, etc. In addition, the proposed efficient scheduling enables the realtime process by minimizing the idle period in weight computation. The proposed VLSI architecture shows 214MHz of maximum operating frequency (image size: 384*288, 965 fps) and 76K of gates (internal memory excluded).

본 논문은 디지털 영상 데이터를 대상으로 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 주파수 영역에서 워터마크를 삽입하는 블라인드 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 각기 다른 다양한 디지털 영상 데이터의 특성을 고려하여 영상의 특성을 반영하는 임계값을 적용하고 가우시안 랜덤 수열(Gaussian Random Sequence)을 워터마크로 삽입하여 원본영상과 워터마킹된 영상이 시각적으로 차이가 없도록 한다. 영상의 특성을 반영하기위한 임계값을 실험을 통하여 조절함으로서 영상의 손실정도, 워터마크 정보의 삽입 양, 검출 상관도 등의 관계를 연구하고 인간의 시각적인 특성을 고려하여 비가시도를 향상하였으며 중주파 대역에 워터마크를 삽입함으로서 원본영상의 손실을 최소화하고 다양한 영상 처리에 견고하도륵 하였다. 제안한 방법의 성능 평가를 위해서 JPEG 손실압축 선형 필터링, 비선형 필터링, 잡음첨가 그리고 크로핑 등의 영상 처리를 실험한 결과 높은 상관도와 견고함을 나타내었고 비가시도 측면에서도 시각적으로 인지할 수 없을 만큼 측정되었다.

본 연구는 환자의 근육 상태를 표면 근전도(EMG, Electrocardiogram)를 통해 정량적으로 평가한 결과를 기반으로 적응 전기치료를 수행 시, 근전도 정량평가에 영향을 주는 심전도 신호를 독립요소 해석(ICA, Independent Component Analysis)을 이용하여 획득된 신호로부터 분리함으로써, 정확한 근전도 정량평가를 할 수 있도록 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 실험 방법은 소스(source)를 근전도와 심전도 2개로 가정하고, 4 채널을 통하여 획득된 신호를 10 Hz-500 Hz의 대역통과 필터를 이용하여 필터링한 후, 1000 sample/sec로 샘플링하여 센서로 사용하였으며, JADE(Joint Approximate Diagonalization of Eigen-matrices) 알고리즘을 통하여 근전도 신호와 심전도 신호를 분리하였다. 알고리즘의 permutation ambiguity와 scaling ambiguity 특성 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 분리된 신호의 주파수 분석을 통하여 심전도와 근전도 신호로 구분하였으며, 인식된 근전도 신호의 크기를 센서 신호를 기준으로 복원하였다. 결론적으로 아날로그 및 디지털 필터와 달리 근전도의 신호의 왜곡을 극소화하면서도 심전도 신호를 분리해 냄으로써, 근전도를 통한 근육상태의 효과적인 평가가 가능하게 되었다.

In this paper, the size of the dual-mode microstrip ring resonator is reduced by adding four open stubs, and bandpass filters having 100 MHz bandwidth are designed at the center frequency of 2 GHz. The size of the ring resonator can be controlled by varying the capacitance of the stubs, and the bandpass filter can be designed in two cases, which are two combinations of the stubs. Two bandpass filters are designed and fabricated by using the two-stage bandpass filter circuit model of the proposed structure, and the measured results show good agreement with the simulated results.

A computationally efficient interpolation filter with a low-distortion performance is a key component to utilize the naturally-sampled pulse width modulation (NPWM) in a digital domain. To realize the efficient interpolation filter, we propose a novel design based on the recently-proposed modified Farrow filter. The proposed filter shows a better pass-band distortion performance maintaining similar degree of complexity compared with the conventional Lagrange interpolation filter. We achieve the maximum distortion deviation of 10-3 dB to 20-kHz audible frequency range and distortion reduction of 1/6 times compared with the Lagrange interpolation filter.

In this paper, we propose the iterative receiver for LDPC-coded OFDMA systems in uplink environments. Applying the Wiener filtering to pilot symbols, an initial channel estimation can be performed effectively. To reduce the complexity of the Wiener filtering, we approximate Wiener filtering coefficients to pre-determined coefficients according to estimated correlation of channel. After an LDPC decoding process, soft symbol derived by extrinsic information of decoder outputs is used to estimate channel. we also derive the error variance of channel estimation and maximum ratio combined results. Using combined results, the channel correlation is re-estimated. Then the proper Wiener filtering coefficients are chosen according to the re-estimated result of the channel correction. Using a computer simulation, we show that the proposed receiver structure has the better performance than the receiver using only pilot symbols.

The comparison between time-lapse seismic datasets is the most popular method in the reservoir monitoring. The method of extracting the changes only due to the change in the reservoir is the essential technique in the comparison of time-lapse seismic datasets. In the paper, the conventional cross-equalization approaches and an enhanced optimized approach have been tested and compared each other. As conventional approaches, the bandwidth equalization and phase rotation methods have been tested in frequency, time and mixed domains, respectively and their results were compared each other. In order to overcome the limit of the conventional approaches, which loses high frequency components, a new constrained optimum filtering method was proposed and experimented. The new constrained filtering method has shown the improvement in broadening the bandwidth of the components of reservoir changes by acquiring optimized match filter.

This paper proposes a robust nonlinear acoustic echo canceller (NAEC) which is effective for modeling the nonlinearity of a speaker module and the long acoustic echo path within a speech communication environment. The proposed NAEC utilizes a sigmoid pre-processor for modeling the speaker nonlinearity and a partitioned block frequnecy-domain adaptive filter for identifying the acoustic echo path with small delay. Simulation results confirmed that the proposed algorithm achieves excellent performance with much lower computational complexity than the previous NAEC.

쓰레기매립장의 침출수 누출 탐지를 위한 물리탐사법은 침출수의 전기전도도를 대상으로 한 전기탐사법이 주로 적용되어 왔다. 이 연구는 제주도에 위치한 비위생매립지를 대상으로 주변 수리지질환경 파악을 위한 전기비저항 탐사와 더불어 매립장 경계부와 토양층을 통한 침출수 누출 영역을 효율적으로 규명하기 위하여 다중주파수를 이용한 소형루프 전자탐사를 병행하여 수행하였으며, 아울러 오염지역의 천부 지하수 유동 방향을 추정하기 위하여 침출수의 유동에 의해 발생될 수 있는 자연전위를 모니터링 하였다. 전기비저항 탐사 및 자연전위 모니터링 결과 매립지 주변을 통한 침출수의 누출 가능성은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 주변 하천에서 정기적으로 실시한 수질 분석 결과와 일치된다. 또한 소형루프 전자탐사 자료에 대하여 공간 필터링 및 1차원 역산법을 적용한 결과 매립장 경계부의 위치 및 매립장 내부의 심도별 매립물에 의한 저비저항 이상대를 효과적으로 도출 할 수 있었다.

In this paper. we propose a prewhitening method for the km reverberation to enhance the target signal. The proposed algorithm uses the dechirping method which inversely compensates the frequency chirp rate of LFM and transforms the LFM reverberation to have stationary frequency property in each data block. Also, using the left and right adjacent beam signals as reference signals. we model frequency response of each data block by AR coefficients. From these coefficients, we implement inverse filter and prewhiten the LFM reverberation of the center beam efficiently.
