Definition-Enhancement of the digitalized image has been being made researches continuously due to application a camera to a mobile-apparatus and the advent of a digital camera. In particular, the inputted image from a sensor goes through the process of ISP(Image Signal Process) prior to output as a visual image. The high-frequency components are offset by LPF(Low Pass Filter) that eliminates the noise of high spatial-frequency at the moment. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that outputs more vivid image by using adaptive-HPF(High Pass Filter) that has apt coefficients for diverse conditions of an image edge, nevertheless we do not employ any Edge-Detection algorithm to enhance a blurred image.

One of the problems of derivatie spectrophotometry, the decrease of signal-to-noise ratio by derivative operations, was solved by three concepts of digital filtering, ensemble averaging, least squares polynomial smoothing and Fourier smoothing. The suthors made several compouter programs written in APPLE SOFT BASIC language for the actual applications of the concepts of these digital filters on UV spectrophotometer system. As a result, ensemble averaging could not be used as a routine operation for the spectrophotometer used. The maximum S/N ratio enhancement factors achieved by least squares polynomial smoothing were 6.17 and 7.47 for the spectra of Gaussian and Lorentzian distribution models, and by Fourier smoothing 16.42 and 11.78 for the spectra of two models, respectively.

신호 주입 센서리스 구동 시, 인버터의 비선형성으로 인한 주입 전압 왜곡현상은 전류 신호 정보의 SNR을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 이로 인하여 회전자 위치를 추정하는 과정에서 오차가 발생하는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 인버터의 비선형성이 주입 전압에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 전류 신호 정보의 SNR을 개선하기 위하여 고주파 전류 맥동의 크기를 일정하게 제어하는 주입 전압을 인가하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여, 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증하였다.

Image quality is improved if the high frequency domains of boundary surface are made distinct. We suggested a method of correcting indistinct defects in ultrasonic images resulting from dynamic imaging. According to the results of the experiment, boundaries in input ultrasonic images became distinct. However, we need to solve the problem that information on pixels of low signal intensity adjacent to boundaries is lost because high-frequency components in the boundaries are strong.

In this paper we report the fabrication of an InGaAs metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodiode(PD) which an InAlAs barrier enhancement layer that has very low dark current and high speed chracteristics. The detector using Cr/Au schottky metal fingers with 4um spacing on a large active area of 300*300um$^{2}$ offers a low dark current of 38nA at 10V, a low capacitance of 0.8pF, and a high 3-dB bandwidth of 2.4 GHz. To our knowledge, these characteristics are better than any previously published results obtained from large area InGaAs MSM PD's. The RC equivalent model and frequency domain current response model considering transit time were also used to analyze the frequency characteristic of the fabricated device.

The solenoid valve of ABS hydraulic modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz on-off control. When the on-off valve is switched from open state to closed state, there are braking force deterioration, noise and vibration due to surge pressure in the wheel cylinder. In this study, identifies surge pressure in the braking process of ABS, and investigates the way to reduce the phenomenon. To reduce the surge pressure, PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control with high frequency of 20kHz was attempted. In conclusion, by using the results of this study for the pressure surge prediction, we could expect enhancement of braking performance in ABS.

The purpose of this study is to compare the time mean velocity distribution, the time mean kinetic energy, and the time mean turbulence intensity between vertical and horizontal flow fields in a coaxial circular pipe by PIV measurement. Experiments are performed at a Reynolds number 2,000, measuring regions divided as the section regions A, B, C, D in flow fields. The angle of the high-frequency ultrasonic is selected in the direction of $45^{\circ}$ to the flow axes and it is reflected several times. In results, it is clarified that the effect of gravity is given in the vertical flow field compared with the horizontal flow field and the ultrasonic affects the turbulence enhancement. And kinetic energy and turbulence intensity with ultrasonic are shown slightly bigger than those in flow field without it.

The visual quality of medical image is an important factor for diagnosis accuracy. Therefore, the methods to improve the quality of medical image have studied. Among them, frequency domain filter is very powerful method to impove the visual quality of image. In this paper, the X-ray medical image using optimized high-pass filter was improved edges. The result image was improved edge and contrast of flat area using optimized high frequency emphasis filter. At last, the result image is to minimize the noise using the minimum mean square error(MMSE) filter. As a result, the proposed method has enhanced contrast and edge of the image in the contrast of existing filters, with the noise canceling effect.

In this paper. Ive propose a postprocessing technique based on the theory of projection on convex sets(POCS) to reduce the blocking artifacts in HDTV decoded images. In BDCT of HDTV. the image is divided into a grid of non-overlapped 8 ${\times}$ 8 blocks. and then each block is coded separately. A block which is located one pixel apart from the grid of BDCT will include the boundary of the original 8 ${\times}$ 8 block. If the blocking artifact is Introduced alone the block boundary. this block will have different frequency characteristic from that of the original block. Thus, a comparison of frequency characteristics of these two overlapping blocks can detect the undesired high-frequency components mainly caused by the blocking artifact. By eliminating these undesired high-frequency components adaptively, robust smoothing projection operator can be obtained. Simulation results with real image sequences indicate that the proposed method performs better than conventional algorithms.

If typical contrast enhancement algorithms for natural images are applied to X-ray images, they may cause artifacts such as overshooting or produce unnatural visual quality because they do not consider inherent characteristics of X-ray images. In order to overcome such problems, we propose a locally adaptive block-based contrast enhancement algorithm for X-ray images. After we derive a weighted cumulative distribution function for each block, we apply it to each block for contrast enhancement. Then, we obtain images that are removed from block effect by adopting block-based overlapping. In post-processing, we obtain the final image by emphasizing high frequency components. Experimental results show that the proposed block-based contrast enhancement algorithm provides at maximum 5-times higher visual quality than the exiting algorithm in terms of quantitative contrast metric.
