Purpose : The aim of this study was to assess the validity of standard deviation of gray scale histogram in digital subtraction radiography as a test parameter for superimposition error. Materials and Methods : Twenty periapical radiographs were used as baseline images and they were copied to exclude the influence of exposure geomety and contrast differences. These subsequent images were linearly displaced by 0.1-0.5 mm in the x-. y- and xy-directions, rotated by 0.5-3° and distorted by angular contraction of 1-5° in x- and y-axis before subtraction. The standard deviations of gray levels in the subtraction images were obtained and paired t-tests were performed. Pearson correlation coefficients(r) were calculated between the standard deviations and the superimposition errors. Results : Linear displacement showed high correlation coefficients of 0.997, 0.997 and 0.995 in x-. y- and xy-axis respectively. Statistically significant different standard deviation existed among all linearly displaced groups(p<0.05). Distortion showed relatively low correlation coefficients of 0.982 and 0.959 in x- and y-axis. The standard deviations between the two distortion groups were statistically significant different(p<0.05). Conclusion : Standard deviation of gray level distribution in digital subtraction images is satisfactory but not perfect similarity measure to assess the superimposition errors.

A class-D audio amplifier for a digital hearing aid is described. The class-D amplifier operates with a pulse-code modulated (PCM) digital input and consists of an interpolation filter, a digital sigma-delta modulator (SDM), and an analog SDM, along with an H-bridge power switch. The noise of the power switch is suppressed by feeding it back to the input of the analog SDM. The interpolation filter removes the unwanted image tones of the PCM input, improving the linearity and power efficiency. The class-D amplifier is implemented in a 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The maximum output power delivered to the receiver (speaker) is 1.19 mW. The measured total harmonic distortion plus noise is 0.015%, and the dynamic range is 86.0 dB. The class-D amplifier consumes 304 ${\mu}W$ from a 1.2-V power supply.

For the compression of color images, a common bitmap usually is generated to replace the three individual bitmaps that originate from block truncation coding (BTC) of the R, G and B channels. However, common bitmaps generated by some traditional schemes are not the best possible because they do not consider the minimized distortion of the entire color image. In this paper, we propose a near-optimized common bitmap scheme for BTC using Binary Ant Colony Optimization (BACO), producing a BACO-BTC scheme. First, the color image is compressed by the BTC algorithm to get three individual bitmaps, and three pairs of quantization values for the R, G, and B channels. Second, a near-optimized common bitmap is generated with minimized distortion of the entire color image based on the idea of BACO. Finally, the color image is reconstructed easily by the corresponding quantization values according to the common bitmap. The experimental results confirmed that reconstructed image of the proposed scheme has better visual quality and less computational complexity than the referenced schemes.

본 논문에서는 디지털 통신 시스템에서 비선형 왜곡(2차 고조파, 2차 상호변조 ,3차 고조파, 3차 상호변조)을 추정하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 구하고자 하는 주파수 대역에 대해 정현파 발생기와 여파기의 주파수들을 변화시키며 같은 실험을 반복하며 비선형 왜곡을 측정하는 정현파 방식에 비하여 제안된 방식은 송신된 디지털 신호를 입력으로 시간영역에서 비선형 채널의 파라메터들을 적응적으로 추정한다. 추정된 파라메터들을 주파수 영역으로 변환함으로써 채널의 비선형 왜곡이 온라인으로 추정된다. 모의 실험을 통해 기존의 정현파 입력 방식과 제안된 방식에 대해 비교한다.

A holographic display based on a viewing window enables the converging of a reconstruction wave into a viewing window by means of an optical system. Accordingly, a user can observe a reconstructed hologram image, even with a small diffraction angle. It is very difficult to manufacture an optical system with no aberrations; thus, it is inevitable that a certain amount of wave aberrations will exist. A viewing-window-based holographic display, therefore, always includes distortions in an image reconstructed from a hologram pattern. Compensating the distortions of a reconstructed image is a very important technical issue because it can dramatically improve the performance when reconstructing a digital three-dimensional content image from a hologram pattern. We therefore propose a method for suppressing image distortion by measuring and compensating the wave aberration calculated from a Zernike polynomial, which can represent arbitrary wave aberrations. Through our experimental configuration using only numerical calculations, our proposed method decreased the reconstructed image distortion by more than 28%.

본 논문에서는 로드풀 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 고효율 주파수 체배기를 설계하는 방법을 제시하고, 주파수 체배기의 비선형 왜곡을 분석하였다. 주파수 체배기는 변조된 신호원을 인가하였을 경우에는 비선형 특성으로 인해 신호 대역이 체배되는 심각한 왜곡이 발생하므로, 이러한 주파수 체배기의 왜곡을 보상할 수 있는 테이블 참조기법을 이용한 디지털 사전왜곡기법을 실행하였다. 주파수 체배기는 입력신호를 주파수 2 체배하여 5.8GHz 출력신호를 얻도록 설계되어 IEEE 802.11a 표준 무선 랜 대역의 동작주파수를 갖도록 설계하였다. 선형화 후의 출력 스펙트럼은 중심주파수에서 각각 +11MHz, +20MHz offset인 주파수에서 각각 12dB의 ACPR 특성이 향상되었다.

Recently, in wireless video sensor networks(WVSN), various schemes for efficient video data transmission have been studied. In this paper, a layer based cooperative relaying(LCR) algorithm is proposed for minimizing scalable video transmission distortion from packet loss in WVSN. The proposed LCR algorithm consists of two modules. In the first step, a parameter based error propagation metric is proposed to predict the effect of each scalable layer on video quality degradation at low complexity. In the second step, a layer-based cooperative relay algorithm is proposed to minimize distortion due to packet loss using the proposed error propagation metric and channel information of the video sensor node and relay node. In the experiment, the proposed algorithm showed that the improvement of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in various channel environments, compared to the previous algorithm(Energy based Cooperative Relaying, ECR) without considering the metric of error propagation.The proposed LCR algorithm minimizes video quality degradation from packet loss using both the channel information of relaying node and the amount of layer based error propagation in scalable video.

측량법 개정으로 측량의 기준이 세계측지계로 변함에 따라, 1/1,000 수치지형도를 세계좌표계로 전환이 필요한 시점에서 측지기준의 전환에 따른 혼란과 오차를 최소화하기 위해 통일되고, 표준화된 전략이 요구 된다. 본 연구에서는 부산광역시의 UIS 사업당시 1/1,000 수치지형도와 지역측지계 및 세계측지계 좌표를 확보하여 공통점으로 사용하여, 좌표변환프로그램인 KASM Trans Ver2.2를 사용하여 왜곡량 분석을 실시하였다. 부산지역 전체에 대한 왜곡량을 계산한 결과, 0.05m 이상의 차이를 나타내는 부분이 X(E) 35점, Y(E)이 43점 발생하였다. 왜곡량이 발생하는 부분을 고려하여 A,B,C 3개 지역으로 분할하여 왜곡량을 분석한 결과 0.05m 이상 오차를 나타내는 부분이 B지역 Y(E) 1점,C지역 X(N) 1점, Y(E) 1점으로 크게 줄어들었다. 따라서 부산광역시의 세계좌표계 변환은 왜곡량을 고려하여 지역별로 나누어 변환하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.

For a digital image watermarking some autostereograms are used such as random dot images. In there, the extraction efficiency is good and the distortion rate is low. In this paper, we shall select an optimized scaling parameter which derives low distortion rate and high extraction efficiency, when we use a random dot images as like as autostereograms into some images except for extremely biased gray level images.
