Recently, digital realizations of timing recovery circuits for digital data transmission are of growing interest. As a result of digital realization of timing recovery circuits, new digital algorithms for timing error detection are required. In this paper, we present a new digital Angular Form(AF) algorithm which can be directly applied to QPSK modulation technique. AF algorithm is basically developed on the concepts of detected angle form and transition logic table. We evaluated the performance of this algorithm by Monte-Carlo simulation method under Gaussian and Impulsive noise environments. From the performance evaluation result, we show that the performance of AF Algorithm is better than that of Gardner in BER, RMS jitter, S-curve.

본 논문에서는 AF 기능을 구현함에 있어서 2 백만 화소 카메라 모듈인 Sharp LZ0P3731의 기능, AF 모터 (VCM, Voice Coil Motor)에 작용하는 힘과 구동원리, 이를 구동하기 위한 H/W의 설계 특성, 및 DM270을 이용한 AF 제어 시 Focus Value의 특성 분석을 바탕으로 Focus Value 특성을 고려한 최적 AF 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 최적 AF 알고리즘은 '최대의 Focus Value가 각 State의 Step Value 마다 각각 다른 위치에서 검출'되는 AF 모터 및 구동 H/W특성을 고려하여, 최적 AF 기능은 최대의 AF Value에 근접하는 Lens Position 제어가 가능하도록 하였다. 이를 검증하기 위한 윈도우용 S/W로 성능을 확인한 결과, 일반적인 AF 기능은 58 프레임으로 3.87초의 시간이 소요되는 반면, 제안한 AF 기능은 25 프레임으로 1.67초로 2배 이상의 빠른 AF 성능을 가졌다.

In this paper, we proposed a face detection algorithm and a hardware implementation method for ROI(Region Of Interest) of AF(Auto Focusing). We used face features in skin regions of YCbCr color space for face detection. The face features are the number of skin pixels in face regions, edge pixels in eye regions, and shadow pixels in lip regions. The each feature was statistically selected by 2,000 sample pictures of face. The proposed algorithm detects two faces that are closer center of the image for considering the effectiveness of hardware resource. The detected faces are displayed by rectangle for ROI of AF, and the rectangles are represented by positions in the image about starting point and ending point of the rectangles. The proposed face detection method was verified by using FPGA boards and mobile phone camera sensor.

Several algorithms have been developed to detect AF which rely either on the form of P waves or the based on the time frequency domain analysis of RR variability. However, locating the P wave fiducial point is very difficult because of the low amplitude of the P wave and the corruption by noise. Also, the time frequency domain analysis of RR variability has disadvantage to get the details of irregular RR interval rhythm. In this study, we describe an atrial fibrillation detection algorithm through non-linear analysis of irregular RR interval rhythm based on the variability, randomness and complexity. We employ a new statistical techniques root mean squares of successive differences(RMSSD), turning points ratio(TPR) and sample entropy(SpEn). The detection algorithm was tested using the optimal threshold on two databases, namely the MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Database and the Arrhythmia Database. We have achieved a high sensitivity(Se:94.5%), specificity(Sp:96.2%) and Se(89.8%), Sp(89.62%) respectively.

For efficient utilization of spectrum resources in TV white space after DTV transition, FCC allowed usage of the spectrum for CR system. The CR system is required to cognize channel usage state for utilizing the unused spectrum in TV white space which coexists various primary and secondary systems. In the meantime, as a demand for high throughput communication had been increased recently, CR systems also consider to adopt channel bonding technology, thus spectrum sensing for channel bonded system is essentially required. In this paper, we propose a novel spectrum sensing algorithm for channel bonding system using a single channel receiver. For IEEE 802.l1af signal, the proposed algorithm provide detection probability of 90% with false alarm probability 10% at SNR -18dB for single channel system and at SNR -7dB for 8 channel bonded system, respectively. Utilizing the proposed scheme, we can detect channel bonded signal using only a single receiver, therefore system overhead for spectrum sensing can be reduced significantly.

In the process of image acquisition, transmission and storage, image degradation occurs due to various reason, the mainly reason is noise. To restore basic methods used images of impulse noise pollution by SM, AF, CWMF. In this paper, using the modified filter to remove impulse noise. The method consists of detection and noise filtering of the noise signal. For a non-noise signal is intact, the noise signal is filtered according to the algorithm. And then through the simulation is compared with known basic methods, with PSNR as judged by reference.

Atrial fibrillation is needed to be detected at paroxysmal stage and to be treated. But, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ECG is hardly obtained with 12-lead electrocardiographs but Holter systems. Presently, the averaged beat subtraction(ABS) method is solely used to estimate atrial fibrillatory waves even with somewhat large residual error. As an alternative, in this study, we suggested an ESAF(event-synchronous adaptive filter) based algorithm, in which the AF ECG was treated as a primary input and event-synchronous impulse train(ESIT) as a reference. And, ESIT was generated so to be synchronized with the ventricular activity by detecting QRS complex. We tested proposed algorithm with simulated AF ECGs and real AF ECGs. As results, even with low computational cost, this ESAF based algorithm showed better performance than the ABS method and comparable performance to algorithm based on PCA(principal component analysis) or SVD(singular value decomposition). We also proposed an expanded version of ESAF for some AF ECGs with multi-morphologic ventricular activities and this also showed reasonable performance. Ultimately, with Holter systems including our proposed algorithm, atrial activity signal can be precisely estimated in real-time so that it will be possible to calculate atrial fibrillatory rate and to evaluate the effect of anti-arrhythmic drugs.

In this paper, we propose the methods to select the stable region for the detect region which is required in the system used the face to the ROI in the auto-focus digital camera. this method regards the face region as the ROI in the progressive input frame and focusing the region in the mobile camera embeded ISP module automatically. The learning algorithm to detect the face is the Adaboost algorithm. we proposed the method to detect the slanted face not participate in the train process and postprocessing method for the results of detection, and then we proposed the stabilization method to sustain the region not shake for the region. we estimated the capability for the stabilization algorithm using the RMS between the trajectory and regression curve.
