This study aimed to investigate the difference of X-ray exposure by comparing and analyzing entrance surface dose and absorbed dose according to the frame change in coronary angiography using an X-ray machine. Moreover, appropriate frame selection measures for examination, including the effect of frame change on the image quality, were sought by measuring and analyzing the SNR and CNR of the image through image J. The study was conducted on 30 patients (19 males and 11 females) who underwent CAG at this hospital from June 2017 to October 2017. In regard to the patients, their age range was 49-82 years (mean of $65{\pm}9$ years), body weight was 45-91 kg (mean of $67{\pm}8.9kg$), height was 150-179cm (mean of $165.1{\pm}8.9kg$), and BMI was 19.5-30.5(mean of $24.5{\pm}2.9$). For the entrance surface dose and absorbed dose, air kerma value and DAP were obtained and analyzed retrospectively. The SNR and CNR were measured and analyzed through imageJ, and the result values were derived by applying the values to the formula. As for the statistical analyses, the correlations between the entrance surface dose and absorbed dose, and between the SNR and CNR were analyzed by using the SPSS statistical program. The relationship between the entrance surface dose and absorbed dose was not statistically significant for both 10 f/s and 15 f/s (p>0.05). In terms of the relationship between the SNR and CNR, the SNR ($3.374{\pm}2.1297$) and CNR ($0.234{\pm}0.2249$) in 10 f/s were $1.43{\pm}0.4861$ and $0.132{\pm}0.0555$ lower, respectively, than the SNR ($4.929{\pm}2.8532$) and CNR ($0.391{\pm}0.3025$) in 15 f/s, which were not statistically significant (p>0.05). In the correlation analysis, statistically significant results were obtained among the BMI, air kerma, and DAP; between air kerma and DAP; and between SNR and CNR (p<0.001, p<0.001). In conclusion, there was no significant difference between the entrance surface dose and absorbed dose even when the images were taken by changing the frame from 10 f/s to 15 f/s at the time of the coronary angiography. SNR and CNR increased at 15 f/s than at 10 f/s, but they were not statistically significant. Therefore, this study suggests that the concern of the patient and practitioner regarding image quality degradation, as well as the problem of X-ray exposure caused by imaging at 10 f/s and 15 f/s, may be reduced.

This paper presents an equal bit rate control algorithm utilizing the statistical change between the previous frame and the current frame. The previous studies on the model-based rate control have focused on the models of bit rate and distortion in types of coders, in terms of the quantization parameter. The proposed algorithm improves the typical model-based rate control by updating a model parameter instead of modeling a better model of the rate and distortion. The proposed algorithm updates this model parameter by recognizing the change in statistics between the previous frame and the current frame. We implement the proposed algorithm in MPEG-4 coders and verify its performance while comparing it to the TMN8's approach (up to 0.6dB of improvement).

CELP 부호화기는 선형 예측 합성에 의한 분석 부호화의 원칙에 기본을 두고 있다. 그리고 음성 신호의 스펙트럼을 LPC 분석을 통해 부호화하는데 고정 윈도우를 사용하여 부호화한다. 그러나 음성신호는 화자의 발성속도에 따라 파형의 변화가 시간적으로 빠르게 변화하기도 하고, 반대로 유사한 파형이 일정시간 유지되기도 한다. 따라서 윈도우의 크기를 발성속도에 맞추어 분석한다면 보다 효율적인 부호화를 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 발성속도에 따라 전송률을 달리 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 발성속도의 측정은 스펙트럼 변화도를 이용하여 측정하였고, 발성속도가 빠를 때는 프레임 크기를 줄여 시간적으로 빠르게 변화하는 신호에 적응적으로 분석하고 대신 파라미터 표현에 비트를 줄인다. 반대로 발성속도가 느릴 때는 프레임 크기를 키우고 파라미터 표현에 비트를 더 할당한다. 제안한 방법을 실험하기 위해 G.723.1 5.3kbps ACELP 부호화기를 이용하였다 음질의 열하 없이 평균 16.34% 전송률 감소효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11b WLAN 종단 간(end to end) 의 DATA 전송에 있어서 효율성 향상을 위한 방법을 충돌 횟수의 감소와 throughput 값의 증가를 나타낼 수 있는 방법을 통해서 제안한다. CW(contention window) 값이 충돌 발생할 시에 증가하는 것이 다음 프레임 전송 시 충돌 발생 확률을 줄이기 위한 것임에 착안하여 CW 값의 변화를 현재 방식에서 변화를 주어 전송 효율성 향상을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 현재의 CW 값이 증가하는 방식은 유지하고 프레임 전송 성공 시 CW 값이 초기화되는 방식을 수정하고자 한다. 만일 CW 값이 크게 증가하였을 시에는 충돌이 많이 발생하고 있는 것으로 간주한다. 그래서 현재의 값 변화 방식인 CW 값이 최소값으로 초기화하는 것이 아니라 최소값 보다는 큰 CW 값을 유지하여 CW 값이 크게 변화되는 것을 막아 충돌 발생 확률을 줄일 수 있음을 확인한다. 본 논문에서는 3가지 방식의 알고리즘에 대하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. original 방식과 다른 알고리즘의 효율성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하여 CW의 값이 전송 성능에 미치는 영향에 대한 결과를 보여준다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze genre differentiation in digital games and examine the changing characteristics of core genre elements. Especially this study focuses on the aspect that how players recognize genre differentiation based on the conceptual blending theory. The evolution of the genre does not end with decline or extinction. The genre keeps being divided into sub-genres through partial use of genre elements. The differentiation of the genre results from the principle of frame confrontation or expansion with a parent genre. Rogue-like games are differentiated from Role-playing games by frame conflict, while Metroidvania games are differentiated from Platform adventure games by frame expansion. In the former case, the core genre elements are independent and easily combined with other genres. For example, the core mechanism of Rogue-like genre like 'perma-death' or 'procedural generation' has a decisive effect on the differentiation of the game experience become an independent genre element. In the latter case of Metroidvania, the core genre elements strongly reveals context dependency and are difficult to use outside the genre convention. The core mechanism of Metroidvania is 'backtracking' in the labyrinth style map, but it could be effective genre element within the specific context like side-scrolling action-platformer.

The pitch searching is a vital process in a vocoder. Generally, the method of pitch searching is employed after highlighting the periodicity, where a correlation is identified with the signal by changing the interval of two pulses. When the correlation value reaches the peak, the pitch can be found by the pulse interval because it is the repetition interval with most striking period. However if the identified period happens to be one of half period, double period or triple period, this cannot be considered as the pitch period. Many methods were suggested to solve this problem. An inaccurate pitch could be obtained as well, when there is an interval where signal amplitude is not constant but varies abruptly in the frame. To solve this matter, searching the pitch by dividing a frame into various subframes is adopted, but too much calculation has to be followed while it leads the correct value. This paper suggests an algorithm to resolve these two problems. First, to search the pitch after advance correction of the signal energy level with an estimated overall energy change ratio in the frame before pitch search to reduce half period, double period and triple period is suggested. Second, to vary the number of subframes by predicting the amplitude change rate in the frame by the energy ratio obtained by the above-mentioned method is advised. If these two methods are applied, the pitch searching time can be reduced and the general pitch searching performance can be improved without affecting the sound quality in the synthesized signal.

A key-frame should be efficiently selected to distinguish bad information from the videos. A previous technique selecting a key-frame mostly consists of the transformation scene-centered. In the case of harmful videos containing the quaility of continuous changes, the technique makes the total rate be reduced by an unnecessary key-frame. This thesis suggests the technique selecting a key-frame, an entry of the distinguishing system by using the quality of changes between the frames. In the experiment of this technique, it was proved that over 90% of the bad information was distinguished by the selected key frame, and also time efficiency was proved by showing 68% of decrement compared to the numbers I-frame. Therefore, This technique makes the system efficient to distinguish bad information, and efficiently can contribute to the distribution of the healthy movie information.
