Noises are usually generated by various external causes and low quality devices in image data acquisition and recording as well as by channel interference in image transmission. Since these noise signals result in the loss of information, subsequent image processing is subject to the corruption of the original image. In general, image processing is performed in the mixed noise environment where common types of noise, known to be Gaussian and impulse, are present. This study proposes an iterative weighted mean filter for reducing mixed type of noise. Impulse noise pixels are first turned off in the input image, then $3{\times}3$ sliding window regions are processed by replacing center pixel with the result of weighted mean mask operation. This filtering processes are iterated until all the impulse noise pixels are replaced. Applied to images corrupted by Gaussian noise with ${\sigma}=10$ and different levels of impulse noise, the proposed filtering method improved the PSNR by up to 12.98 dB, 1.97 dB, 1.97 dB respectively, compared to SAWF, AWMF, MMF when impulse noise desities are less than 60%.

Various types of multimedia contents have been widely spread and distributed with the Internet that is easy to use. Meanwhile, Multimedia contents can bright a social problem because juveniles can access such harmful contents easily through the Internet. This paper proposes a method to determine if an input image is harmful or not, using an neural network. The proposed method first detects a face region from an input image through MCT features. The method then extracts skin color regions using color features and obtains candidate nipple areas from the extracted skin regions. Subsequently, we determine if the input image is harmful, by filtering out non-nipple regions using the artificial neural network. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively determine the harmfulness of input images.

This paper represents an simplified design method of hybrid composites. The proposed method is very simple compared to conventional design approaches and easy to apply to practical design problems. The method is based on not complex optimization approaches but conventional theories. The equivalent dielectric properties concept and multi-layered dielectric slab theory are an important theoretical background of the proposed method. This approach divide the design domain into several domain which have theoretically different electro- agnetic functionality. Then, the domains are expressed by equivalent dielectric properties. Numerical analysis are performed several types of design candidates. S-parameter test for final design was conducted for validate the proposed approach indirectly.

As the amount of data increases exponentially, the recommender system is attracting interest in various industries such as movies, books, and music, and is being studied. The recommendation system aims to propose an appropriate item to the user based on the user's past preference and click stream. Typical examples include Netflix's movie recommendation system and Amazon's book recommendation system. Previous studies can be categorized into three types: collaborative filtering, content-based recommendation, and hybrid recommendation. However, existing recommendation systems have disadvantages such as sparsity, cold start, and scalability problems. To improve these shortcomings and to develop a more accurate recommendation system, we have designed a recommendation system as a factorization machine using actual online product purchase data.

Ground reaction force (GRF) measures are one of the most commonly used in biomechanical study. GRF system is very useful educational tool to explain and demonstrate the Newton's law of universal gravitation and laws of motion as well. However, accuracy, intra- and inter- force platform measures' consistency, reliability, noise, and the effect of platform mounting to GRF measures were not clearly viewed. The aim of this study was to examine the above. GRFs of a plastic dummy and two subjects' quiet upright standing were collected at four university laboratories eight force platforms. The types of platforms, analysis programs, and platform set-up were various. Three 100s-trials were conducted with sampling frequency of 100 Hz. First two trials' vertical component of GRFs, Fz, and CoP sway ranges of mid-60s-portion of 100s trials were analyzed by the paired t-tests and one-way ANOVA. Six of eight platforms' 1st and 2nd trial dummy Fz were statistically different (p<.05) and all platforms ICC were poor (<.28). Fz of the two platforms in every four laboratories were statistically different (p<.05). There were white noises and/or very distinctive noises at specific frequency ranges in all Fz measures. 5 Hz low-pass filtering made clear the Fz differences. CoP ranges of dummy were less than 0.5 cm and the best was 0.02 cm. This CoP range finding agrees with previous results suggests the importance of force platform mounting and A/D card resolution.

This study investigated the contaminant loading and characteristics of particle size distributions(PSDs) in the rainfall runoff from two different sources, the pavement road and the ancillary parking lot, and then evaluated four different types of filter media(i.e., EPP, EPS, Zeolite, and Perlite) to treat runoff water. The results showed that runoff from the pavement road contains 5.6 and 20 times higher SS and Pb concentrations, respectively, than that from the parking lot. The particles smaller than $100{\mu}m$ occupied 89.8 % of runoff from the pavement road and 81.4 % of that from the parking lot by volume. The effect of the hydraulic loading, at 950 m/day filtering linar velocity and 40 cm head loss, was largest for Zeolite, followed by Perlite, EPS, and EPP. The return period of tested media calculated by the regression equation for head loss indicated that EPP has the longest life time. The average SS removal rate was similar for all media at between 84.9 % and 89 %, while the effect of various filter column heights was different, showing minimal for EPP and maximum for EPS. All filter media tested demonstrated over 95 % of SS treatment efficiency for the particles bigger than $100{\mu}m$, while for the ones smaller than $100{\mu}m$ the efficiency was in order of EPP(82.4%) > Perlite(76.1 %) > EPS(66.2 %) > Zeolite(65.2 %). The results in conclusion implies that EPP is most effective filter media for the highly contaminated fine particles from road runoff.

Due to the Internet and computing capability, new and variant malware are discovered around 1 Million per day. Companies use dynamic analysis such as behavior analysis on virtual machines for unknown malware detection because attackers use unknown malware which is not detected by signature based AV effectively. But growing number of malware types are not only PE(Portable Executable) but also non-PE such as MS word or PDF therefore dynamic analysis must need more resources and computing powers to improve detection effectiveness. This study elicits the pre-filtering system evaluation factor to improve effective dynamic malware analysis system and presents and verifies the decision making model and the formula for solution selection using AHP(Analytics Hierarchy Process)

The algorithm of multiple channel signal processing requires the flexibility of variable frequency band, efficient allocation of transmission power, and flexible frequency band reallocation to satisfy various service types which requires different transmission rates and frequency band. There are three methods including per-channel approach, multiple tree approach, and block approach performing frequency band reallocation method by channelization and dechannelization in the multiple-channel signal. This paper proposes an improved per-channel approach for converting the frequency band of multiple carrier signals efficiently. The proposed algorithm performs decimation and interpolation using CIC(cascaded integrator comb filter), half-band filter, and FIR filter. In addition, it performs filtering of each sub-channel, and reallocates channel band through FIR low-pass filter in the multiple-channel signal. The computer simulation result shows that the perfect reconstruction of output signal and the flexible frequency band reallocation is performed efficiently by the proposed algorithm.

RFID systems have been widely used in various fields such as logistics, distribution, food, security, traffic and others. A RFID middleware, one of the key components of the RFID system, perform an important role in many functions such as filtering, grouping, reporting tag data according to given user specifications and so on. However, manual test data generation is very hard because the inputs of the RFID middleware are generated according to the RFID middleware standards and complex encoding rules. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a black box test technique based on RFID middleware standards. Firstly, we define ten types of input conversion rules to generate new test data from existing test data based on the standard specifications. And then, using these input conversion rules, we generate various additional test data automatically. To validate the effectiveness of generated test data, we measure coverage of generated test data on actual RFID middleware. The results show that our test data achieve 78% statement coverage and 58% branch coverage in the classes of filtering and grouping, 79% statement coverage and 64% branch coverage in the classes of reporting.

One of the most important tasks in image processing is noise filtering. Noise removal in image is a difficult task due to many reasons such as nonstationary sequences and corrupted by various types of noise. Human's visual perception is heavily based on the edge information. Thus, noise filtering must preserve edges. To remove the noise, we usually use the square-shaped median filter. They possess mathematical simplicity but have the disadvantages that blur the edges. In this paper we consider a new technique for image restoration using a weighted octagonal median filter. The technique consists of simple hypothesis test for edge detection, and we use the weighted octagonal-shaped moving window. The new technique is applied to noise corrupted image and experimental results are compared to the results of the square-shaped median filter and the cross-shaped median filter.
