For visual measurement under dynamic scenarios, a zoom lens camera is more flexible than a fixed one. However, the challenges of distortion prediction within the whole focal range limit the widespread application of zoom lens cameras greatly. Thus, a novel sequential distortion correction method for a zoom lens camera is proposed in this study. In this paper, a distortion assessment method without coupling effect is depicted by an elaborated chessboard pattern. Then, the appropriate distortion correction model for a zoom lens camera is derived from the comparisons of some existing models and methods. To gain a rectified image at any zoom settings, a global distortion correction modeling method is developed with bundle adjustment. Based on some selected zoom settings, the optimized quadratic functions of distortion parameters are obtained from the global perspective. Using the proposed method, we can rectify all images from the calibrated zoom lens camera. Experimental results of different zoom lens cameras validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In order to maintain communication while the vehicle is moving, satellite azimuth angle and elevation angle correction are needed in real time. The elevation angle correction affects the system G/T according to the variation of the external noise temperature flowing into the antenna. G/T is expressed as a ratio of power gain G to noise temperature T and is an important performance function required for antenna gain design. This paper aims to G/T analysis considering elevation angle change and the establishment of an antenna design procedure. For this purpose, the relationship between elevation angle and brightness temperature including rain attenuation was analyzed according to recommendation ITU-R P.372 radio noise. Next, an antenna was designed based on the analysis results and design procedure was verified by G/T measurement. Through this experiment, G/T according to elevation angle was confirmed, and the minimum antenna gain analysis and design procedure required in the system could be established.

Next step, We can get Bode Diagram of Closed loop transfer function response examination in interested frequency. Integral calculus for gain of velocity loop is depended on integral calculus correction's number. We can obtain open loop transfer function by integrator. And we can know bode diagram's special quality from calculated open loop transfer function. With this, Velocity Control Loop's Parameter as inner loop is controlled. Next In moving, when vibration occurs, it controls notch filter. And finally, we have to control fred-forward filter parameter for elevation of control performance.

This paper proposes a method to reduce operation time using discrete cosine transform and to improve image quality by the DC gain correction. Conventional filtered back projection (FBP) filtering in the frequency domain using Fourier transform, but the filtering process uses complex number operations. To simplify the filtering process, we propose a filtering process using discrete cosine transform. In addition, the image quality of reconstructed images are improved by correcting DC gain of sinograms. To correct the DC gain, we propose to find an optimum DC weight is defined as the ratio of sinogram DC and optimum DC. Experimental results show that the proposed method gets better performance than the conventional method for phantom and clinical CT images.

An antenna gain measurement system using an extrapolation technique is described. The technique is similar to the usual two-antenna method for absolute gain measurement system, but involves the measurement of the received signal as a function of seperation in short distances, and the signal-versus-seperation data is processed in a way that allows an extrapolation of the signal to "infinite" seperation. In this technique it is possible to obtain the near field gain as function of distance by combining the far field gain and a proximity correction factor. The results of gain measurements of standard gain horn antennas and OEG (open ended waveguide) antennas are also presented.

Four kinds of gain and offset correction coefficients that are used to correct the nonuniformity between pixels are discussed. And their correction performance has been compared by performing image correction. using the correction coefficients calculated, on the real image data obtained from a newly fabricated camera electronics system. The performance of the correction coefficients depends in general on the number of the light input levels used to obtain the reference image. The result shows that, as expected obviously, when only two light input levles are used to obtain the reference image, even though its correction coefficients are relatively easily calculated, the correction performance is relatively poor. And with the number of light inputs increased to a value of larger than two, the correction performance is improved. It is noted, however, no Significant performance difference is found between the different correction coefficients employed.

Due to the technological limitations of infrared thermography, infrared focal plane array (IFPA) imaging exhibits stripe non-uniformity, which is typically fixed pattern noise that changes over time and temperature on top of existing non-uniformities. This paper proposes a stripe non-uniformity correction algorithm based on scene-adaptive nonlinear filtering. The algorithm first uses a nonlinear filter to remove single-column non-uniformities and calculates the actual residual with respect to the original image. Then, the current residual is obtained by using the predicted residual from the previous frame and the actual residual. Finally, we adaptively calculate the gain and bias coefficients according to global motion parameters to reduce artifacts. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm protects image edges to a certain extent, converges fast, has high quality, and effectively removes column stripes and non-uniform random noise compared to other adaptive correction algorithms.

Multimedia content is very sensitive to packet loss and therefore multimedia streams are typically protected against packet loss, either by supporting retransmission requests or by adding redundant forward error correction (FEC) data. However, the redundant FEC information introduces significant additional bandwidth requirements, as compared to the bitrate of the original video stream. Especially on wireless and mobile networks, bandwidth availability is limited and variable. In this article, an adaptive FEC (A-FEC) system is presented whereby the redundancy rate is dynamically adjusted to the packet loss, based on feedback messages from the client. We present a statistical model of our A-FEC system and validate the proposed system under different packet loss conditions and loss probabilities. The experimental results show that 57-95%bandwidth gain can be achieved compared with a static FEC approach.

Energy savings in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is an active research area. In order to achieve a solution, we propose a new cooperative relaying scheme operated on a per subcarrier basis. This scheme improves the bit error rate (BER) performance of the conventional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-based selection relaying scheme by substituting SNR with symbol error probability (SEP) to evaluate the received signal quality at the relay more reliably. Since the cooperative relaying provides spatial diversity gain for each subcarrier, thus statistically enhancing the reliability of subcarriers at the destination, the total number of lost subcarriers due to deep fading is reduced. In other words, cooperative relaying can alleviate error symbols in a codeword so that the error correction capability of forward error correction codes can be fully exploited to improve the BER performance (or save transmission energy at a target BER). Monte-Carlo simulations validate the proposed approach.
