In this paper, we propose a fast multiple reference frame selection method for motion estimation and compensation in video coding. Reference frames selected as an optimal reference frame by variable block sizes motion estimation have the statistical characteristic that was based on block size. Using the statistical characteristic, reference frames for smaller block size motion estimation can be selected from reference frame which was decided as an optimal one for the upper layer block size. Simulation results show that the proposal method decreased the computations about 60%. Nevertheless, PSNR and bit rate were almost same as the performances of original H.264 multiple reference motion estimation.

The GNUnet proposed a file encoding method by 1KB block size to support anonimity of file and decentralizes encoded block to peers through unstructed model. but, the encoding and block decentralizing method with 600~700MB large multimedia file appered two problems. First problem, it need addition R block and I block, which make about 4% of storage resource. Second problem, unstructed model added network load by broadcasting decentralizing method. The paper suggest variable encoding block size and structured model by block decentralizing solution. Suggested encoding method reduced block request supplementary block generation from 4% to 1%. and network load by proposal structured model sending answer through dedicated peer to decentralize block.

In this paper, the method of constructing incomplete block designs for comparing general combining abilities of p inbred lines for partial diallel crosses is proposed. These partial diallel crosses block designs are constructed by using m-associate class partially balanced incomplete block designs with block size 2 and balanced incomplete block designs. Also, the efficiencies of block designs obtained through this method are tabulated for number of lines 24 or less.

The conventional fractal image compression based on discrete wavelet transform uses the fixed block size in fractal coding and reduces PSNR at low bit rate. This paper proposes a fractal image coding based on discrete wavelet transform which improves PSNR by using variable block size in fractal coding. In the proposed method. the absolute values of discrete wavelet transform coefficients are computed. and the discrete wavelet transform coefficients of different highpass subbands corresponding to the same spatial block are assembled. and the fractal code for the range block of each range block level is assigned. and then a decision tree C. the set of choices among fractal coding. "0" encoding. and scalar quantization is generated and a set of scalar quantizers q is chosen. And then the wavelet coefficients. fractal codes. and the choice items in the decision tree are entropy coded by using an adaptive arithmetic coder. This proposed method improved PSNR at low bit rate and could achieve a blockless reconstructed image. As the results of experiment. the proposed method obtained better PSNR and higher compression ratio than the conventional fractal coding method and wavelet transform coding.rm coding.

This paper presents a local binary pattern(LBP) for effectively classifying textures, which is based on the multidimensional intensity difference between the adjacent pixels in the block image. The intensity difference by considering the a extent of 4 directional changes(verticality, horizontality, diagonality, inverse diagonality) in brightness between the adjacent pixels is applied to reduce the computation load as a results of decreasing the levels of histogram for classifying textures of image. And the binary patterns that is represented by the relevant intensities within a block image, is also used to effectively classify the textures by accurately reflecting the local attributes. The proposed method has been applied to classify 24 block images from USC Texture Mosaic #2 of 128*128 pixels gray image. The block images are different in size and texture. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a speedy classification and makes a free size block images classify possible. In particular, the proposed method gives better results than the conventional LBP by increasing the range of histogram level reduction as the block size becomes larger.

The grain size and growth direction of a directionally solidified turbine blade were evaluated by the initial nucleation condition at the start block of directional solidification. The initial nucleation condition was controlled by inserting a Ni foil on the directional solidification plate of the directional solidification furnace. Fine grains with good orientation were obtained in the faster cooling condition at the start block. The nucleus number was compared with the cooling rate of the start block by electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD). DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) analysis was performed to compare the melting point and undercooling for nucleation of the coarse nuclei and fine nuclei of the start block. The faster cooling condition at the start block showed more undercooling for nucleation and smaller size of nuclei which resulted in a fine grain with good orientation in the directional turbine blade.

In this paper, we propose Quad BTC that compresses DSM files to allow random access for TRF (Terrain Referenced Flight). The terrain data used for TRF has a large data capacity to be stored in the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), so its size must be reduced through compression. Conventional BTC (Block Truncation Coding) based compression methods are suitable for TRF because it can decode randomly accessing specific coordinates. However, These conventional methods have a problem that the error increases because the deviation of the data increases as the size of the block increases. In this paper, we propose Quad BTC method that adaptively divides a block in to 4 sub blocks and compresses to solve this problem. The proposed method may reduce errors because the size of the sub block can be adjusted within the block. Through simulation using actual terrain data, it is verified that Quad BTC has less error at the same compression ratio than conventional BTC and AM BTC.

Purpose: The algorithm described in Lim(1998) is available to determine the sample size directly given specified significance level, power and signal-to-noise ratio. We research on the efficient determination of the sample size by visual methods. Methods: We propose three graphs for investigating the mutual relationship between the sample size r, power $1-{\beta}$ and the detectable signal-to-noise ratio ${\Delta}$. First graph shows the relationship between ${\Delta}$ and $1-{\beta}$ for the given r and it can be checked whether the power is sufficient enough. Second graph shows the relationship between r and ${\Delta}$ for the given power $1-{\beta}$. Third graph shows the relationship between r and $1-{\beta}$ for the given ${\Delta}$. It can be checked that which effects are sensitive to the efficient sample size by investigating those graphs. Results: In factorial design, randomized block design and the split plot design how to determine the sample size directly given specified significance level, power and signal-to-noise ratio is programmed by using R. A experiment to study the split plot design in Hicks(1982) is used as an example. We compare the sample sizes calculated by randomized block design with those by split plot design. By using graphs, we can check the possibility of reducing the sample size efficiently. Conclusion: The proposed visual methods can help an engineer to make a proper plan to reduce the sample size.

With the appearance of Bitcoin that builds peer-to-peer networks for transaction of digital content and issuance of cryptocurrency, lots of blockchain networks have been developed to improve transaction performance. Recently, Joseph Lubin discussed Decentralization Transaction per Second (DTPS) against alleviating the value of biased TPS. However, this Lubin's trust model did not enough consider a security issue in scalability trilemma. Accordingly, we proposed a trust metric based on blockchain size, stale block rate, and average block size, using a sigmoid function and convex optimization. Via numerical analysis, we presented the optimal blockchain size of popular blockchain networks and then compared the proposed trust metric with the Lubin's trust model. Besides, Bitcoin based blockchain networks such as Litecoin were superior to Ethereum for trust satisfaction and data volume.
