방송 및 비면허 대역에서의 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 Cognitive Radio(CR)기술의 구현을 위해서는 우선적으로 해결해야할 점이 무선 상에 존재하는 관련 주파수 스펙트럼을 센싱하는 기술의 구현이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 주파수 스펙트럼 센싱 기술이 구현되어야만, 센싱을 통해서 획득된 주파수 할당 데이터를 기반으로 CR의 개념이 원활하게 동작됨과 통시에 기존의 무선통신 주파수의 우선 이용자간의 간섭문제 또한 야기되지 않는다는 특징을 갖게 된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 Cognitive Radio 센서로 이용되는 Energy Detection 및 Matched Filter 기법의 기술특성 분석 및 최신기술동향에 대하여 기술하였다.

객체 추적 기술은 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서 활발하게 연구되고 있는 분야로, 인간-컴퓨터 상호작용(HCI)이나 로보틱스, 그리고 자율주행 자동차와 같은 곳에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 그중에서도 열화상 객체 추적 기술은 빛이 전혀 없는 어두운 밤에도 적용 가능하기 때문에, 감시 시스템이나 사고 현장의 구조 상황, 또는 군사적 응용에 더욱 유용하다. 그러나 일반적으로 열화상 영상은 컬러 영상보다 해상도가 낮고, 객체의 경계가 흐릿하며, 텍스쳐가 거의 없다는 점 때문에 기존 추적 방법들의 성능 저하의 원인이 된다. 이에 본 논문은 기존 Correlation Filter 기반 추적기에 객체성 특징을 함께 이용하여, 열화상 영상에서의 객체 추적 성능을 향상 시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 실험을 통해 기존 방법보다 열화상 영상에서의 객체 추적 성능이 향상된 것을 보였다.

본 논문은 Multiscale Gradients (MSG)를 기반으로 한 Color Filter Array Interpolation을 토대로 개선된 필터와 보간 과정의 알고리듬을 제안한다. MSG는 초록색 채널 보간, 초록색 채널 갱신, 빨간색 및 파란색 채널 보간 과정으로 이루어진다. 이때, 더욱 정교한 보간을 위해 필터의 크기를 증가시키고, 보간 과정에 이용되는 주변 픽셀의 개수를 늘렸다. 이러한 실험을 통해 높은 스펙트럼 상관관계, 낮은 채도, 낮은 색 경사도를 가진 Kodak dataset과 자연 영상과 유사한 특성을 갖는 McMaster dataset 모두의 경우에서 Color Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (CPSNR)이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

A Gaussian noise is caused by surrounding environment or channel interference when transmitting image. The noise reduces not only image quality degradation but also high-level image processing performance. The Non-Local Means (NLM) filter finds similarity in the neighboring sets of pixels to remove noise and assigns weights according to similarity. The weighted average is calculated based on the weight. The NLM filter method shows low noise cancellation performance and high complexity in the process of finding the similarity using weight allocation and neighbor set. In order to solve these problems, we propose an algorithm that shows an excellent noise reduction performance by using Summed Square Image (SSI) to reduce the complexity and applying the weighting function based on a cosine Gaussian kernel function. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

VVC (Versatile Video Coding)는 HEVC이후 차세대 표준 비디오 코딩으로 JVET(Joint Video Exploration)에 의해 2018년 표준화를 시작하였다. VVC에는 복원픽쳐의 변환-양자화에러에 의해 발생한 블로어, 블로킹, 링잉 아티팩트를 감소시키기 위하여 deblocking filter (DF), sample adaptive offset (SAO), adaptive loop filter(ALF)와 같은 모듈을 사용한다. 한편 CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)은 최근 이미지와 비디오 복원에 높은 성능을 보이고 있다. VVC에서 픽쳐는 CTU (Coding Tree Unit)으로 분할되고 각 CTU는 다시 CU (Coding Unit)으로 분할된다. 그리고 인코딩을 위한 중요한 정보들이 Picture, CTU, CU단위로 디코더에 전송된다. 이 논문에서는 화면 간 예측으로 인코딩 된 픽처에서 블록과 픽처정보를 이용한 딥러닝 기반의 인루프 필터 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 화면 간 예측에서 QP, 4×4 블록단위의 모션벡터, 참조블록과의 시간적거리, CU의 깊이를 모델에 추가적인 정보로 이용한다.

When interpolating chrominance signal, the H.264/AVC standard uses linear interpolation. In this paper, we suggest more effective method that uses a high precision filter, 6-tap FIR filter, 2-tap linear filter for chroma interpolation. The experimental result shows that the proposed method achieves the BD-Rate decrease without the PSNR decrease compared with Jm11.0kta2.7. The maximum BD-rate improvements on Y component are 1.3%, those of Cb and Cr components are 19.8%, 25.0%, respectively. The average BD-rate improvements on Y component are 0.5%, those of Cb and Cr components are 6.1%, 6.9%, respectively.

Industrialization and modern developments have led to an influx of toxic heavy metals into the aquatic environment, and the accumulation of heavy metals has serious adverse effects on humans. Among the various heavy metal treatment methods, adsorption is very useful and frequently used. Plastic materials, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, have been widely used as filter media due to their mechanical and chemical stability. However, the surface of plastic material is inert and therefore the adsorption capability of heavy metals is very limited. In this study, granular media and fiber media composed of polypropylene and polyethylene are used, and the surface modification was conducted in order to increase adsorption capability toward heavy metals. Oxygen plasma generated hydroxyl groups on the surface of the media to activate the surface, and then acrylic acid was synthesized on the surface. The grafted carboxyl group was confirmed by FT-IR and SEM. Heavy metal adsorption capability of pristine and surface modified adsorbents was also evaluated. Overall, heavy metal adsorption capability was increased by surface modification due to electrostatic interaction between the carboxyl groups and heavy metal ions. Fibrous PP/PE showed lower improvement compared to granular PP media because pore blockage occurred by the surface modification step, thereby inhibiting mass transfer.

Recently it revealed that urban runoff was one of the major source that contaminates the river, lake and estuary because it contains toxic compounds such as heavy metals and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) as well as suspended solids, organic compounds and nutrients. The engineered polymetric media in this research were developed for reducing pollutants in urban runoff and would be used to be charged in the storm water treatment equipment. The engineered media that were composed of the polypropylene was foamed to have the buoyancy and then shattered by mechanical for the efficient filtration. In this study, Spherical Expanded Polypropylene Media (SEPM), Crushed Polypropylene Media (CPM), Large Crushed Expanded Polypropylene Media (LCEPM), Small Crushed Expanded Polypropylene Media (SCEPM) were made from polypropylene. Surface characteristics of the developed media were determined by scanning electron microscopy analyses. Also, removal efficiencies of SS, $COD_{Cr}$ in the artificial road runoff and the bed headloss by media and particle pollutants captured by media were examined. Results on the surface characteristics of media indicated that SCEPM had the largest specific surface area, $0.80m^2/g$, the lowest specific gravity, 0.091, and the biggest porosity, 0.63, because of crushing the media at the process of manufacturing. And the SCEPM's removal efficiencies of TSS and $COD_{Cr}$ in the artificial road runoff were 92.9% and 83.6%, respectively and the headloss of SCEPM was the least of them.

To effectively treat the domestic sewage that was produced on a small-scale in farming and fishing village in order to encourage an ecologically friendly environment, a small-scale sewage treatment apparatus using natural purification methods that consisted of an aerobic and an anaerobic plots were constructed. The efficiency of sewage treatment according to the sewage loading was investigated to obtain the optimum sewage loading in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus. Removal rate of pollutants according to the sewage loading were in the order of $150\;Lm^{-2}day^{-1}{\fallingdotseq}300\;Lm^{-2}day^{-1}>600\;Lm^{-2}day^{-1}$. Therefore, the optimum sewage loading was 300 L m-2 day-1. Under the optimum sewage loading, removal rate of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, turbidity, T-N and T-P were 99, 94, 99, 49 and 89%, respectively. However, to satisfy the water quality standard in effluent in small-sclae sewage treatment apparatus for domestic sewage treatment, the low removal efficiency of T-N and T-P must be improved. So to improve the removal rate of T-N and T-P, the efficiency of sewage treatment according to the improved sewage treatment process such as, re-treatment at aerobic plot, anaerobic condition of aerobic plot, changing the filter media sizes and the depths in anaerobic plot, and also addition of oyster shells to filter media at anaerobic plot were investigated. In case of 150 cm depth in anaerobic plot with filter medium A (effectivity particle size 1.50 mm) and addition of oyster shells to filter media at anaerobic plot, removal rate of T-N and T-P in both plots were increased by 10 and 3%, and 14 and 7% in comparison with 100 cm depth in anaerobic plot with filter medium B(effectivity particle size 0.95 mm), respectively. The optimum improved sewage treatment process in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus were 150 cm depth in anaerobic plot with filter medium A and addition of oyster shells to filter media at anaerobic plot.
