본 논문은 컴퓨터 그래픽 이미지의 데이터를 디지털화 하는 과정에서 Aliasing으로 인하여 손실된 Pixel 정보에 대해 동적 블럭으로 분할 연산하고 벡터 양자화, Gaussian 함수를 이용하여 손실된 정보들을 보간하여 해상도가 높아진 영상을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 Anti-Aliasing 알고리즘을 제시한다. Anti-Aliasing의 효과를 더욱 시각적으로 분별 할 수 있도록 하기 위해 Gray 레벨의 이미지로 실험을 하였고, 현재 Graphic을 지원하는 하드웨어 구조의 PC 기반에 변화 없이 적용할 수 있고, 이미지의 질감을 더욱 부드럽게 향상 시킬수가 있다.

Conventional PW Doppler systems suffer from the ambiguity of measured blood velocities due to the spectrum aliasing when the corresponding Doppler frequencies are greater than the Nyquist frequency. Base-line shift is a customary method for dealiasing the Doppler spectrums. I lowever, Doppler audio signals still remain unchanged even when the base-line shift method is applied. This paper de scribes an method for dealiasing both the Doppler spectra and audio signals by using sampling rate expansion, frequency shifting, and filtering poerations. For undirectional flows, the method can increase the maximum detectable Doppler frequency from the Nyquist limit of one-half of the Pulse Repetition Frequency(PRF) to the PRF. Experiments with real data have been performed to verify the proposed method.

Frequency domain analysis is a fundamental procedure for understanding the characteristics of visual data. Several studies have been conducted with 2D videos, but analysis of stereoscopic 3D videos is rarely carried out. In this paper, we derive the Fourier transform of a simplified 3D video signal and analyze how a 3D video is influenced by disparity and motion in terms of temporal aliasing. It is already known that object motion affects temporal frequency characteristics of a time-varying image sequence. In our analysis, we show that a 3D video is influenced not only by motion but also by disparity. Based on this conclusion, we present a temporal anti-aliasing filter for a 3D video. Since the human process of depth perception mainly determines the quality of a reproduced 3D image, 2D image processing techniques are not directly applicable to 3D images. The analysis presented in this paper will be useful for reducing undesirable visual artifacts in 3D video as well as for assisting the development of relevant technologies.

During the period of 2002 to 2017, the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) had observed time-varying gravity changes with unprecedented accuracy. The GRACE science data centers provide the monthly gravity solutions after removing the sub-monthly mass fluctuation using geophysical models. However, model misfit makes the solutions to be contaminated by aliasing errors, which exhibits peculiar north-south stripes. Two conventional filters are used to reduce the errors, but signals with similar spatial patterns to the errors are also removed during the filtering procedure. This would be particularly problematic for estimating the ice mass changes in Western Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and Antarctic Peninsula (AP) due to their similar spatial pattern to the elongated north-south direction. In this study, we introduce an alternative filter to remove aliasing errors using the Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF) analysis. EOF can decompose data into different modes, and thus is useful to separate signals from noise. Therefore, the aliasing errors are effectively suppressed through EOF method. In particular, the month-to-month mass changes in WAIS and AP, which have been significantly contaminated by aliasing errors, can be recovered using EOF method.

It is difficult to detect and to track the moving targets like tanks and diesel vehicles due to the variety of terrain and moving of targets. It is possible to be happened the aliasing conditions as the difficulty of antenna deployment in the complex environment like the battle fields. In this paper, we study the problem of detecting and tracking of moving targets which are emitting wideband signals under severe spatial aliasing conditions because of the sparse arrays. We developed a direction of arrival(DOA) estimation algorithm based on subband MUSIC(Multiple Signal Classification) method which produces high-resolution estimation. In this algorithm, the true bearings are invariant regardless of changes of frequency bands while the aliased false bearings vary. As a result, the proposed algorithm overcomes the aliasing effects and improves the localization performance in sparse passive arrays.

Digital decimation filters are used in various digital signal processing systems using ADCs, including digital communication systems and sensor network systems. When the sampling rate of digital data is reduced, aliasing occurs. So, an anti-aliasing filter is necessary to suppress aliasing before down-sampling the data. Since the anti-aliasing filter has to have a sharp transition band between the passband and the stopband, the order of the filter is very high. However, as the order of the filter increases, the complexity and area of the filter increase, and more power is consumed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose two types of decimation filters, focusing on reducing the area of the hardware. In both cases, the complexity of the circuit is reduced by applying the required down-sampling rate in two times instead of at once. In addition, CIC decimation filters without a multiplier are used as the decimation filter of the first stage. The second stage is implemented using a CIC filter and a down sampler with an anti-aliasing filter, respectively. It is designed with Verilog-HDL and its function and implementation are validated using ModelSim and Quartus, respectively.

자연에 존재하는 연속량의 데이터는 디지털화 될 때 숫자로 변환된다. 이때 부딪치는 일반적인 문제는 완전히 통합되지 않았거나 잘못 통합된 표본 추출의 결과로 정보를 잃어버리는 앨리어싱(Aliasing) 현상이 일어나게 된다. 현재 일반 사용자가 사용하는 PC기반의 모니터 해상도는 96PPI(Pixel ZPer Inch)밖에 제공하지 못한다. 이러한 저해상도에서 컴퓨터 그래픽 이미지 객체를 디스플레이 할 때 앨리어싱 현상이 자주 발생한다. 현재 PC 기반의 그래픽 하드웨어 구조의 변형없이 저해상도 모니터상에서 앨리어싱 현상이 발생하는 이미지를 기존의 계산 방법을 감소시키면서 앨리어싱 현상을 제거하는 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 앨리어싱 현상을 감소시켜 이미지 데이터의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 개선된 Anti-Aliasing 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose a directionally adaptive aliasing and noise removal using dictionary learning based on space-frequency analysis. The proposed aliasing and noise removal algorithm consists of two modules; i) aliasing and noise detection using dictionary learning and analysis of frequency characteristics from the combined wavelet-Fourier transform and ii) aliasing removal with suppressing noise based on the directional shrinkage in the detected regions. The proposed method can preserve the high-frequency details because aliasing and noise region is detected. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently reduce aliasing and noise while minimizing losses of high-frequency details and generation of artifacts comparing with the conventional methods. The proposed algorithm is suitable for various applications such as image resampling, super-resolution image, and robot vision.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect on the phantom for magnetic resonance imaging located nearby by partially shielding RF with a mesh made thinner than hair composed of copper, black metal, and polyester using metallic materials of titanium, which are commonly used for esophageal stents and implants in the body. Magnetic resonance images according to field of view (FOV) were analyzed in the Spin Echo T1 weighted images of TR 500 ms, TE 20 ms, NEX 1, and slice thickness 5mm using a Cardiac coil of 3T Achieva X-series. Aliasing artifact did not occur in FOV 304 mm × 304 mm, but it occurred in 250 mm × 250 mm and 170 mm × 170 mm. In FOV 170 mm × 170 mm, when a mesh was not used, the SNR was measured with 78.23, and when separated by standing a mesh in the middle, it was 215.05, and when completely shielded with a mesh, the SNR was 366.44. In addition, when completely shielded with a mesh, the aliasing artifact was also removed, and signal intensities on the left, middle and right of the image were also able to obtain homogeneous images compared to the previous two cases. In conclusion, if RF is partially shielded with a mesh, aliasing artifact can be removed, and magnetic resonance images with excellent image resolution and homogeneity can be obtained using a small FOV.

In this paper, a new filter structure to improve frequency response characteristics in CIC(Cascaded Integrator-Comb) decimation filters is proposed. Conventional filters improve passband characteristics, but they make worse aliasing band characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new filter which is called IFOP(Interpolated Fourth-Order Polynomials). By using this proposed filter, passband droop and aliasing band attenuation are simultaneously improved. Since proposed filter needs only one multiplication, computation is not much. And overall linear phase characteristics are maintained since the proposed filter is also linear phase. Finally, implementation cost of the proposed filter is compared with those of conventional filters.
