This study compares various transformation techniques for multifocus image fusion. Multi-focus image fusion is a procedure of merging multiple images captured at unalike focus distances to produce a single composite image with improved sharpness and clarity. In this research, the purpose is to compare different popular frequency domain approaches for multi-focus image fusion, such as Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT), Stationary Wavelet Transforms (SWT), DCT-based Laplacian Pyramid (DCT-LP), Discrete Cosine Harmonic Wavelet Transform (DC-HWT), and Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT). The objective is to increase the understanding of these transformation techniques and how they can be utilized in conjunction with one another. The analysis will evaluate the 10 most crucial parameters and highlight the unique features of each method. The results will help determine which transformation technique is the best for multi-focus image fusion applications. Based on the visual and statistical analysis, it is suggested that the DCT-LP is the most appropriate technique, but the results also provide valuable insights into choosing the right approach.

지반과 같은 다층으로 구성된 시스템을 통과하여 전파되는 파의 분산특성은 표면파 지반조사에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 표면파의 분산곡선(주파수위상속도 곡선)은 크로스 파워 스펙트럼에 의해 결정되는 위상 스펙트럼을 사용하여 쉽게 결정할 수 있다. 그러나 크로스 파워 스펙트럼에 의해 결정되는 분산곡선은 현장에 항상 존재하는 잡음에 의해 쉽게 손상되며, 손상된 분산곡선을 사용하는 경우 잘못된 조사 결과를 도출하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존 방법의 문제점을 해결하고자 하모닉 웨이브릿 변환을 이용한 새로운 위상 스펙트럼 결정방법을 제안하고 이를 분산곡선을 결정에 적용하였다. 제안된 방법은 효과적으로 현장에 존재하는 배경잡음의 효과를 제거할 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여, 지반을 모사한 다층구조에 대해 수치모의실험을 수행하였다. 수치모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방법이 심한 잡음조건하에서도 효과적으로 신뢰할 수 있는 위상 스펙트럼과 분산곡선을 결정할 수 있음을 볼 수 있었으며, 이를 통하여 제안된 방법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

A method of damage detection based on the moving harmonic excitation and continuous wavelet transforms is presented. The applied excitation is used as a moving actuator and its frequency and speed parameters can be adjusted for an amplified response. The continuous wavelet transforms, CWT, is used for cracks detection based on the resulting amplified signal. It is demonstrated that this identification procedure is largely better than the classical ones based on eigenfrequencies or on the eigenmodes wavelet transformed. For vibration responses, free and forced vibration analyses of multi-cracked beams are investigated based on both analytical and numerical methodological approaches. Cracks are modeled through rotational springs whose compliances are evaluated using linear elastic fracture mechanics. Based on the obtained forced responses, multi-cracks positions are accurately identified and the CWT identification can be highly improved by adjusting the frequency and the speed excitation parameters.

This paper proposes an algorithm for the differential protection of an Indirect Symmetrical Phase Shift Transformer (ISPST) by considering the different behaviors of the compensated differential current under internal fault and magnetizing inrush conditions. In this algorithm, a criterion function is defined which is based on the difference of amplitude of the wavelet transformation over a specific frequency band. The function has been used for the discrimination between three phase magnetizing inrush and internal fault condition and requires less than a quarter cycle after disturbance. This method is independent of any coefficient or threshold values of wavelet transformation. The merit of this algorithm is demonstrated by the simulation of different faults in series and excitation unit and magnetizing inrush with varying switching conditions on ISPST using PSCAD/EMTDC. Due to unavailability of in-field large interconnected transformers for such a large number of destructive tests, the results are further verified by Real Time Digital Simulator (RSCAD/RTDS). The proposed algorithm has been compared with the conventional harmonic restraint based method that justifies the application of wavelet transform for differential protection of ISPST. The proposed algorithm has also been verified for different rating of ISPSTs and satisfactory results were obtained.

To obtain a shear-wave velocity profile in geotechnical practice, various seismic investigation methods which have their own strength and weakness are being frequently used. Generally, geotechnical site have lateral variation of the properties, so it is needed to determine 2-dimensional shear wave velocity imaging of the site. In this study, harmonic wavelet analysis of wave (HWAW) method is applied to determination of 2-D $V_s$ imaging. HWAW method which is based on time-frequency analysis using harmonic wavelet transform have been developed to determine phase and group velocities of waves. HWAW method uses the signal portion of the maximum local signal/noise ratio to evaluate the phase velocity to minimize the effects of noise. HWAW method determine detailed local $V_s$ profile because one experimental setup which consists of one pair of receivers with spacing of 1~3m is used to determine the dispersion curve of the whole depth. So, 2-D Vs imaging with relatively high resolution can be determined through a series of HWAW test. In order to estimate the applicability of HWAW method, field tests were performed in 4 sites. Through field applications and comparison with other test results, the good accuracy and applicability of the proposed method were verified.

Over the last two decades Wavelet Transformation (WT) method has been widely utilized for the damage identification of structures. The main objective of this paper is to discuss and present some of common shortcomings and limitations of mathematical software, as well as other precautionary measures that need to be considered when using them for wavelet analysis applications. Due to popular usage of MATLABMATLAB(R) comparing to other mathematical tools among researchers for data processing of structural responses through WT analysis, this software was chosen for specific study. To the best of the authors' knowledge, these limitations and observations have not been previously identified or discussed in the literature. In this work, a square plate with a severe damage, in form of a crack, parallel to the left edge of the plate is selected for a pilot study. The steady state harmonic response is used for measuring the deflection shape across the line parallel to one edge and perpendicular to the damage. Several criteria and cases such as the smallest size damage that can be detected, correlation between the crack width and the number of sampling points, and the influence of the damage thickness on the accuracy of the result are investigated.

Power quality has become concern both utilities and their customers with wide spread use of electronic and power electronic equipment. The poor quality of electric power causes malfunctions, instabilities and shorter lifetime of the load. In power system operation, power system disturbances such as faults, overvoltage, capacitor switching transients, harmonic distortion and impulses affects power quality. For diagnosing power quality problem, the causes of the disturbances should be understood before appropriate actions can be taken. In this paper we present a new approach to detect, localize, and investigate the feasibility of classifying various types of power quality disturbances. This paper deals with the use of a multi-resolution analysis by a discrete wavelet transform to detect power system disturbances such as interruption, sag, swell, transients, etc. We also proposed do-noising and threshold technique to detect power system disturbances in a noisy environment. To find the better mother wavelet for detecting disturbances, we compared the performance of the disturbance detection with the several mother wavelets such as Daubechies, Symlets, Coiflets and Biorthogonals wavelets. In our analysis, we adopt db4 wavelet as mother wavelet because it shows better results for detecting several disturbances than other mother wavelets. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, a various case studies are simulated for the example system which is constructed by using PSCAD/EMTDC. From the simulation results. proposed method detects time Points of the start and end time of the disturbances.

Current differential protective relaying with harmonic restraint module is, in general, used to protect transformer. But It is hard to distinguish inrush and internal winding fault with differential current protective relaying. This paper presents the new protective algorithm for transformers using 3-phase differential current's d1 coefficient values in wavelet transform. Various states of transformer was simulated using EMTP. Internal winding fault and inrush are classified within shorter time using the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 및 FD-OFDM(Frequency Diversity OFDM) 시스템과 일반 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 비교 분석 한다. 푸리에 변환에 기반하는 일반 OFDM방식과는 달리 웨이블릿 OFDM 방식은 웨이블릿 변환을 사용하며, CDM (Code Division Multiplexing)과 OFDM의 중간적인 특성을 통해 심볼간 간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으며 채널간 간섭 역시 최소화 할 수 있다. FD-OFDM 방식의 경우, 각 병렬 브랜치에 입력된 심볼들이 직교 시퀀스로 곱해진 뒤 모든 부반송파에 분배되고, 각 부반송파는 주어진 프레임에서 각 병렬 브랜치의 심볼 조각들의 합의형태로 이루어진 정보를 전달한다. FD-OFDM의 한 부반송파 내에 포함된 모든 심볼들은 직교 시퀀스에 의해 구별되며, 간섭에 강하며 주파수 다이버시티 특성을 가진다는 장점을 지닌다. 협대역 간섭과 하모닉 잡음 환경에서 BER (Bit Error Rate) 성능을 통해 시스템 간 성능 비교 분석을 진행하였으며, 이를 통해 웨이블릿 OFDM과 FD-OFDM의 성능이 일반 OFDM보다 간섭에 대해 강건하고 특히 하모닉 노이즈 환경에서는 웨이블릿 OFDM이 가장 강건한 특성을 보이는 것을 알 수 있다.
