In this paper, a frame rate up-conversion algorithm using the motion vector frequency of neighboring blocks to reduce the block artifacts caused by failure of conventional motion estimation based on block matching algorithm is proposed. Experimental results show good performance of the proposed scheme with significant reduction of the erroneous motion vectors and block artifacts.

To transmit video bit stream over low bandwidth such as wireless channel, high compression algorithm like H.264 codec is exploited. In transmitting high compressed video bit-stream over low bandwidth, packet loss causes severe degradation in image quality. In this paper, a new algorithm for recovery of missing or erroneous motion vector is proposed. Considering that the missing or erroneous motion vectors in blocks are closely correlated with those of neighboring blocks. Motion vector of neighboring blocks are clustered according to average linkage algorithm clustering and a representative value for each cluster is determined to obtain the candidate motion vector sets. As a result, simulation results show that the proposed method dramatically improves processing time compared to existing H.264/AVC. Also the proposed method is similar to existing H.264/AVC in terms of visual quality.

The motion vector estimation and motion boundary detection have been briskly studied since they are an important clue for analysis of object structure and 3-d motion. The purpose of this researches is more exact estimation, but there are two main causes to make inaccurate. The one is the erroneous measurement of gradients in brightness values and the other is the blurring of motion boundries which is caused by the smoothness constraint. In this paper, we analyze the gradient measurement error of conventional methods and propose new technique based on it. When the proposed method is applied to the motion boundary detection in Schunck and motion vector estimation in Horn & Schunck, it is shown to have much better performance than conventional method is some artificial and real image sequences.

This paper proposes an LCL-filter design for space vector pulse width modulation (SVM) in grid-connected three-phase inverter systems. Although there are a several studies in progress, the existing methods are erroneous because they do not focus on the other switching methods. This paper presents the design methodology for an LCL-filter that is optimized for SVM switching operations. The design procedure for the LCL-filter is presented step-by-step. The inverter-side inductor was determined by an analysis of the ripple components, mathematically. Based on the reactive power absorption ratio, the filter capacitor was determined. The grid-side inductor was determined by the ripple attenuation factor of the output current. Experimental results verify the validity of the design method for the LCL-filter.

In this paper, we report our successful implementation of Q tensor model in threedimensional finite element method (FEM) simulator. The 3D-FEM Q tensor-model-based simulation revealed that the spaly-to-bend transition occurs only at 4 V while the vector-model based FEM solver provides an erroneous transition voltage of 8 V.

In transmitting compressed video bit-stream over Internet, packet loss causes error propagation in both spatial and temporal domain, which in turn leads to severe degradation in image qualify In this paper, a new approach for the recovery of lost or erroneous Motion Vector(MV)s by clustering the movements of neighboring blocks by their homogeneity is proposed. MVs of neighboring blocks are clustered according to ALA(Average Linkage Algorithm) clustering and a representative value for each cluster is determined to obtain the candidate MV set. By computing the distortion of the candidates, a MV with the minimum distortion is selected. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits better performance in many cases than existing methods.

To transmit a video bit stream over low bandwith, such as mobile, channels, encoding algorithms for high bit rate like H.263+ are used. In transmitting video bit-streams, packet losses cause severe degradation in image quality. This paper proposes a new algorithm for the recovery of missing or erroneous motion vectors when H.263+ bit-stream is transmitted. Considering that the missing or erroneous motion vectors are closely related with those of neighboring blocks, this paper proposes a temporal-spatial error concealment algorithm. The proposed approach is that missing or erroneous Motion Vectors(MVs) are recovered by clustering the movements of neighboring blocks by their homogeneity. MVs of neighboring blocks we clustered according to ALA(Average Linkage Algorithm) clustering and a representative value for each cluster is determined to obtain the candidate MV set. By computing the distortion of the candidates, a MV with the minimum distortion is selected. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits better performance in subjective and objective evaluation than existing methods.

The motion compensated interpolation method is widely used to increase video frame rates. Especially, the bilateral motion estimation technique provides the improved results, since it doesn't make the overlapping and missing blocks in the interpolated frame. However, the motion vectors, which are obtained by the bilateral motion estimation, sometimes require further correction. In this paper, we propose the efficient motion vector.correction method for the bilateral motion estimation technique. By comparing the motion vectors of neighboring blocks and searching the new motion vector after merging the neighboring blocks, the erroneous motion vectors are efficiently corrected. It is shown that the proposed method provides better results, compared with the conventional methods.

In this paper, we propose a new boundary matching method for the temporal error concealment and a post processing algorithm for perceptual quality improvement of the concealed frame. Temporal error concealment is a method that substitutes error blocks with similar blocks from the reference frame. In conventional H.264/AVC standard, it compares outside pixels of erroneous block with inside pixels of reference block to find the most similar block. However, it is very possible that the conventional method substitutes erroneous block with the wrong one because it compares only narrow spatial range of pixels. In this paper, for substituting erroneous blocks with more correct blocks, we propose enhanced boundary matching method by comparing inside and outside pixels of reference block with outside pixels of erroneous block and setting up additional candidate motion vector in the fixed search range based on maximum and minimum value of candidate motion vectors. Furthermore, we propose a post processing method to smooth edges between concealed and decoded blocks without error by using the modified deblocking filter. We identified that the proposed method shows quality improvement of about 0.9dB over the conventional boundary matching methods.

A Process of 3-D Particle image velocimetry, called here, as '3-D volume PIV' was developed for the full-field measurement of 3-D complex flows. The present method includes the coordinate transformation from image to camera, calibration of camera by a calibrator based on the collinear equation, stereo matching of particles by the approximation of the epipolar lines, accurate calculation of 3-D particle positions, identification of velocity vectors by 3-D cross-correlation equation, removal of error vectors by a statistical method followed by a continuity equation criterior, and finally 3-D animation as the post processing. In principle, as two frame images only are necessary for the single instantaneous analysis 3-D flow field, more effective vectors are obtainable contrary to the previous multi-frame vector algorithm. An Experimental system was also used for the application of the proposed method. Three analog CCD camera and a Halogen lamp illumination were adopted to capture the wake flow behind a bluff obstacle. Among 200 effective particle s in two consecutive frames, 170 vectors were obtained averagely in the present study.
