ISO/IEC JTC1 WG11 Moving Picture Expers Group 과 ITU-T SC16 은 Joint Video Experts Team 을 구성하여 차세대 비디오 부호화 표준으로서 Versatile Video Coding(VVC)를 표준화 중이다. VVC 는 현재 블록의 화면내 예측 모드일 가능성이 높은 모드의 집합인 Most Probable Mode(MPM) 리스트를 유도하고, MPM 을 이용하여 효율적으로 화면내 예측 모드를 부호화한다. VVC 는 주변 블록의 화면내 예측 모드에 따라 7가지 종류의 MPM 리스트 유도 방식을 가지고 있으나 이 중 두 가지는 동일한 MPM 들로 유도되는 중복성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 이 중복성 문제를 해결하기 위한 MPM 유도 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 MPM 유도조건을 수정하여 중복적인 유도 방식이 제거된 6 가지 MPM 리스트 유도 방식을 갖는다. 실험을 통해 제안방법이 부호화 효율에 전혀 영향을 주기 않고 MPM 유도 과정을 단순화시켰음을 보인다.

In DC-DC converters, a PWM/PFM dual mode control method is commonly used to maintain a high efficiency over a wide range of load variation. Since the control mode is selected according to the load condition, the chip area is increased due to additional circuit for mode control and the optimum efficiency cannot be achieved around the mode transition point. To solve such problems, a new integrated control method is proposed in this paper, in which a PLL is used in the current mode PWM control circuit instead of an oscillator. The proposed integrated control method is verified through a design of a buck converter using PSIM simulation. Simulation of the complete buck converter circuit by Cadence Spectre showed a maximum efficiency of 94.7% at a load current of 250mA and an efficiency of 85.4% at a load current of 10mA under the light load condition.

The 1${\times}$2, 1${\times}$4 and 1${\times}$8 multimode interference(MMI) optical power splitters are fabricated by using $Ag^+-Na^+$ ion exchange on BK7 glass. Before fabricating the MMI optical power splitters, we find the refractive index of the channel waveguide and calculate the multimode section length and width. The multimode section lengths and widths are 887${\mu}m$, 1666${\mu}m$ and 1834${\mu}m$ and 40${\mu}m$, 80${\mu}m$ and 120${\mu}m$ for 1${\times}$2, 1${\times}$4 and 1${\times}$8 MMI optical power splitters respectively. The measured properties of the fabricated MMI optical power splitters show that the unbalance ratios of the 1${\times}$2, 1${\times}$4 and 1${\times}$8 MMI optical power splitters are 1.4[dB], 1.7[dB] and 2.0[dB] and the excess losses of those sre 0.96[dB], 2.26[dB] and 1.67[dB]. respectively.

Acceptance level random vibration and life firing test for development model of 1 N-class monopropellant thruster have been performed. From the results of random vibration, the natural frequency of the dual thurst module composed of 1 N-class development model thrusters was higher than the part level requirement(>100 Hz) and the structural robustness was verified. Thrust decrease of steady sate was below 7% and thrust instability was within ${\pm}5%$ in the life firing test using over 20 kg propellant throughput. The computerized tomography for catalyst bed showed a less than 7% of catalyst loss and it revealed the design appropriateness of the current thruster development model.

스케일러블 비디오 코딩(SVC, Scalable Video Coding)은 MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)과 VCEG (Video Coding Expert Group)의 JVT(Joint VIdeo Team)에 의해 현재 표준화 되고 있는 새로운 압축 표준 기술이며 시간, 공간 및 화질의 스케일러빌리티를 지원하기 위해 계층 구조를 가지고 있다. 특히 시간적 스케일러빌리티를 위해 계층적 B-픽처 구조를 채택하고 있다. 스케일러블 비디오 코딩의 기본 계층은 H.264|AVC와 호환적이므로, 모션 예측과 모드 결정과정에서 $16{\times}16,\;16{\times}8,\;8{\times}16,\;8{\times}8,\;8{\times}4,\;4{\times}8$ 그리고 $4{\times}4$와 같은 7개의 서로 다른 크기를 갖는 블록을 사용한다. 스케일러블 비디오 코딩에서 사용되고있는 계층적 B-픽처 구조는 키 픽처인 I와 P 픽처를 제외하고는 한 GOP (Group of Picture)내에서 모두 B-픽처를 사용하므로 H.264|AVC와 비교했을 때 연산량 증가와 함께 부호화 지연도 급격히 증가한다. B-픽처는 양방향 모션 벡터인 LIST0와 LIST1을 사용하고 양방향 모두에서 다중 참조 픽처를 사용하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 통계적 가선 검증을 이용하여 스케일러블 비디오 부호화에 적용 가능한 고속 프레임간 모드 결정 알고리듬 대해 소개한다. 제안된 방법은 $16{\times}16$ 매크로 블록과 $8{\times}8$ 서브 매크로 블록에 통계적 가설 감증 기법을 적용하여 실행되며, 현재 블록과 복원된 참조 블록간의 픽셀 값을 비교하여 RD(Rate Distortion) 최적화 기반 모드 결정을 빨리 완료함으로써 고속 프레임간 모드 결정을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 방법은 프레임 간 모드 결정을 고속화함으로써 스케일러블 비디오 부호화기의 연산량과 복잡도를 최대 57%감소시킨다. 그러나 연산량 감소에 따른 비트율의 증가나 화질의 열화는 최대 1.74% 비트율 증가 및 0.08dB PSNR 감소로 무시할 정도로 작다.

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a driving mode decision algorithm for automated driving for merge situations on highways. For the development of a highly automated driving control algorithm for merge situations, the driving mode decision is crucial for merging appropriately. There are two driving modes: lane keeping and lane changing (merging). The merge mode decision is determined based on the state of the surrounding vehicles and the remaining length of the merge lane. In the merge mode decision algorithm, merge possibility and the desired merge position are decided to change the lane safely and quickly. A safety driving envelope is defined based on the desired driving mode using the information on the surrounding vehicles' behaviors. To obtain the desired steering angle and longitudinal acceleration for maintaining the subject vehicle in the safe driving envelope, a motion planning controller is designed using model predictive control (MPC), with constraints that are decided considering the vehicle dynamics, safe driving envelope, and actuator limit. The proposed control algorithm has been evaluated via computer simulation studies.

We experimentally demonstrate the use of a gold-deposited side-polished fiber as a $2-{\mu}m$-band polarizing device to produce mode-locked pulses from a thulium/holmium-codoped fiber ring cavity. The mode-locking effect was induced by nonlinear transmission caused by the gold-deposited side-polished fiber, due to nonlinear polarization rotation of the oscillated beam within the fiberized cavity. It is also shown that ~558-fs pulses with a peak power of ~6.7 kW could readily be produced at a wavelength of 1935 nm through subsequent thulium/holmium-codoped fiber amplification, due to the higher-order soliton compression effect.

Many robust controllers have been studied but most are considered in the theoretical point of view and can be used for only specific systems. So, in this paper, a more practical robust controller is proposed based on SMC(sliding mode control) and disturbance observer. The integral sliding mode is used to eliminate the reaching phase and minimizes the steady-state error, and the disturbance observer reduces the chattering due to the switching input for the bounded disturbances. The inevitable chattering of SMC is also removed by replacing the sign function with dead-zone function. The proposed controller has the improved steady-state error and robustness compared to PID controller.

H.264/AVC uses variable block sizes to achieve significant coding gain. It has 7 different coding modes having different motion compensation block sizes in Inter slice, and 2 different intra prediction modes in Intra slice. This fine-tuned new coding feature has achieved far more significant coding gain compared with previous video coding standards. However, extremely high computational complexity is required when rate-distortion optimization (RDO) algorithm is used. This computational complexity is a major problem in implementing real-time H.264/AVC encoder on computationally constrained devices. Therefore, there is a clear need for complexity reduction algorithm of H.264/AVC such as fast mode decision. In this paper, we propose a fast mode decision with early $P8\times8$ mode rejection based on block size activity using large block history map (LBHM). Simulation results show that without any meaningful degradation, the proposed method reduces whole encoding time on average by 53%. Also the hybrid usage of the proposed method and the early SKIP mode decision in H.264/AVC reference model reduces whole encoding time by 63% on average.

In this paper, we first introduce a systematic verification procedure for hierarchically structured avionics system. By making use of equipment models, it can perform individual verifications of each subsystem, integrated verifications of multiple subsystems, and an integrated verification of a whole system. A multi-mode system integration laboratory is then proposed to make it possible to execute various individual or integrated verification tests at the same time. By mathematically proving that the proposed multi-mode system integration laboratory needs less verification time than the conventional verification methodology, it is expected to enhance the efficiency of the systematic verification procedure and as a result, reduce the overall verification period and costs.
