산모의 흉부와 복부로부터 측정된 다채널 심전도에서 태아 심전도를 추출하는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안한다. 산모의 복부 심전도로부터 태아 심전도를 추출하기 위하여, 시간 영역에서 특이값 분해를 근간으로한 방법이 일반적으로 사용되었다. 그러나 이 방법은 산모와 태아의 심전도 벡터 방향이 서로 직교해야 하는 가정과 많은 연산량을 요구하는 단점이 있다. 제안한 알고리듬은 이산연현변환 영역에서 특이값 분해를 이용하여 이러한 단점을 극복한다. 적은 연산량으로 특이값 분해를 하기 위하여 이산여현변환 계수의 특성과 태아 심전도의 주파수 특성에 기초하여 고주파 수 성분에 해당하는 이산여현변환 계수를 제거하였다. 또한 산모와 태아의 심전도 벡터 방향에 의한 영향을 덜 받으면서 순수한 태아 심전도를 추출하기 위하여, 산모 복부 심전도에서 산모 심전도가 억압된 새로운 세 개의 채널을 만들고 이들을 다채널 심전도에 추가하였다. 모의 신호와 실제 신호를 이용하여 기존의 시간 영역에서 특이값 분해를 근간으로한 방법과 제안한 알고리듬의 성능을 비교하였다. 제안한 알고리듬은 기존 방법보다 적은 연산량으로 순수한 태아 심전도를 얻을 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인되었다.

디지털 멀티미디어 방송(DMB)은 대용량의 멀티미디어 정보를 무선환경의 이동체에 전송하기 위해 제안된 방식이다. 이러한 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위해 DM시스템은 COFDM 변조방식을 사용하여 다중 경로 페이딩 현상을 극복하고, 동시에 강력한 채널오류 정정 능력을 필요로 한다. DMB 수신기를 위한 비터비 디코더(구속장 7, code rate 1/4)는 가변 부호화된 데이터의 복호화를 수행해야 하고, 방송시스템이므로 실시간으로 동작하기 위해서 효율적인 구조를 가져야 한다. 따라서 DMB 시스템을 위한 비터비 디코더를 구현하기 위해서는 복호화 과정을 고속으로 수행할 수 있는 별도의 전용 하드웨어 모듈을 설계하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 많은 연산량을 효율적으로 줄일 수 있는 결합된 Add-Compare-Select(ACS)와 Path Metric Normalization(PMN)구조를 새롭게 제안하고자 한다. PMN구조에서의 단점인 comparison tree에 의한 임계 경로(critical path)의 문제를 고정치(fixed value)에 의한 선택 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 고속 동작이 가능하게 하였고, ACS구조에서는 분할 기법(decomposition method)과 선계산(pre-computation)을 이용하여 덧셈기, 비교기, 표준화기의 복잡도를 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 펑처드 비터비 디코더는 일반적인 구조를 적용했을 때 보다 면적 $3.78\%$, 전력소모 $12.22\%$, 최대 게이트 지연 $23.80\%$의 감소율을 보였다.

In this paper, it is aimed to determine the seismic behaviour of highway bridges by nondestructive testing using ambient vibration measurements. Eynel Highway Bridge which has arch type structural system with a total length of 216 m and located in the Ayvaclk county of Samsun, Turkey is selected as an application. The bridge connects the villages which are separated with Suat U$\breve{g}$urlu Dam Lake. A three dimensional finite element model is first established for a highway bridge using project drawings and an analytical modal analysis is then performed to generate natural frequencies and mode shapes in the three orthogonal directions. The ambient vibration measurements are carried out on the bridge deck under natural excitation such as traffic, human walking and wind loads using Operational Modal Analysis. Sensitive seismic accelerometers are used to collect signals obtained from the experimental tests. To obtain experimental dynamic characteristics, two output-only system identification techniques are employed namely, Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition technique in the frequency domain and Stochastic Subspace Identification technique in time domain. Analytical and experimental dynamic characteristic are compared with each other and finite element model of the bridge is updated by changing of boundary conditions to reduce the differences between the results. It is demonstrated that the ambient vibration measurements are enough to identify the most significant modes of highway bridges. After finite element model updating, maximum differences between the natural frequencies are reduced averagely from 23% to 3%. The updated finite element model reflects the dynamic characteristics of the bridge better, and it can be used to predict the dynamic response under complex external forces. It is also helpful for further damage identification and health condition monitoring. Analytical model of the bridge before and after model updating is analyzed using 1992 Erzincan earthquake record to determine the seismic behaviour. It can be seen from the analysis results that displacements increase by the height of bridge columns and along to middle point of the deck and main arches. Bending moments have an increasing trend along to first and last 50 m and have a decreasing trend long to the middle of the main arches.

몰수체의 운동을 정확하게 예측하기 위해서는 동적 모형의 비선형 구조를 선택하고, 이에 해당하는 조종계수를 모형 시험을 통해 추정하여야 한다. 모형 구조가 주어지면 조종계수들의 값만이 미지수가 되어 추정은 표준 최소 자승 문제로 정식화될 수 있다. 불행하게도 몰수체들의 비선형모형 구조는 거의 알려지지 않고 있다. 따라서, 모형 시험에서 측정된 자료들로부터 운동 방정식의 구조를 결정하는 방법을 개발하여 계수 추정 절차에 중요한 한 부분으로 포함시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 모형 시험 결과 해석을 위해 널리 사용되고 있는 최소 자승 알고리즘과 그 성능평가법에 대해 살펴보고, Gram-Schmidt에 의한 직교 분리법에 기초를 둔 계수 식별 알고리즘을 매우 단순하고 효과적으로 구조 선택법과 계수 추정법을 결합할 수 있도록 확장하였다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션과 실제 몰수체에 대한 모형 시험 자료로의 적용을 통해 이 기법의 성능을 검증하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구의 방법은 모형 시험 결과로부터 효율적으로 운동 방정식의 구조를 식별하고 조종 계수를 추정함을 확인하였다.

Adaptive Bit Loading (ABL) in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is often used to achieve the desired Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in wireless systems. In this paper, we discuss some of the bit loading algorithms, compare them in terms of the BER performance, and present an effective and concise Adaptive Grouped Loading (AGL) algorithm. Furthermore, we propose a "weight factor" for loading algorithm to converge rapidly to the final solution for various data rate with variable Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) gaps. In particular, we consider the bit loading in near optimal Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based MIMO-OFDM system. While using SVD based system, the system requires perfect Channel State Information (CSI) of channel transfer function at the transmitter. This scenario of SVD based system is taken as an ideal case for the comparison of loading algorithms and to show the actual enhancement achievable by our AGL algorithm. Irrespective of the CSI requirement imposed by the mode of the system itself, ABL demands high level of feedback. Grouped Loading (GL) would reduce the feedback requirement depending upon the group size. However, this also leads to considerable degradation in BER performance. In our AGL algorithm, groups are formed with a number of consecutive sub-channels belonging to the same transmit antenna, with individual gains satisfying predefined criteria. Simulation results show that the proposed "weight factor" leads a loading algorithm to rapid convergence for various data rates with variable SNR gap values and AGL requires much lesser CSI compared to GL for the same BER performance.

Depth recovery in robot vision is an essential problem to infer the three dimensional geometry of scenes from a sequence of the two dimensional images. In the past, many studies have been proposed for the depth estimation such as stereopsis, motion parallax and blurring phenomena. Among cues for depth estimation, depth from lens translation is based on shape from motion by using feature points. This approach is derived from the correspondence of feature points detected in images and performs the depth estimation that uses information on the motion of feature points. The approaches using motion vectors suffer from the occlusion or missing part problem, and the image blur is ignored in the feature point detection. This paper presents a novel approach to the defocus technique based depth from lens translation using sequential SVD factorization. Solving such the problems requires modeling of mutual relationship between the light and optics until reaching the image plane. For this mutuality, we first discuss the optical properties of a camera system, because the image blur varies according to camera parameter settings. The camera system accounts for the camera model integrating a thin lens based camera model to explain the light and optical properties and a perspective projection camera model to explain the depth from lens translation. Then, depth from lens translation is proposed to use the feature points detected in edges of the image blur. The feature points contain the depth information derived from an amount of blur of width. The shape and motion can be estimated from the motion of feature points. This method uses the sequential SVD factorization to represent the orthogonal matrices that are singular value decomposition. Some experiments have been performed with a sequence of real and synthetic images comparing the presented method with the depth from lens translation. Experimental results have demonstrated the validity and shown the applicability of the proposed method to the depth estimation.

반송파 주파수 옵셋은 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 신호의 부채널간 간섭(ICI)을 유발하며, 수신 신호의 진폭과 위상을 왜곡시켜 전체적인 시스템 성능에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템에서 주파수 옵셋을 추정하는 새로운 기법을 제한한다. 이 기법은 주파수 옵셋으로 인해 위상이 회전 되어 왜곡된 OFDM 심볼의 CP와 유효 OFDM 심볼에 대해 통계적 독립 성분 분석(ICA - Independent Component Analysis)을 EVD(Eigenvalue Decomposition), 회전 페이저, 그리고 $4^{th}-cumulants$를 이용하여 시간영역에서 추정하여 보상하는 기법이다. 어떤 훈련 심볼열이나 파일럿 심볼을 필요하지 않기 때문에 대역폭 효율의 저하가 없다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 CP-ICA 기법이 주파수 옵셋의 범위가 $0.0<\varepsilon<1.0$에서 기존의 제안된 주파수 옵셋 추정기보다 매우 좋은 BER 성능 결과를 보여준다.

Concerns are emerging in marine industry on the additional fatigue damages induced by hydroelasticity, and large container carriers, among others, are considered to be susceptible to this hydroelastic response due to its large size, deck openings and high speed. This study focuses on the fatigue damage estimation of 9,400TEU container carrier based on the full scale measurement data via long-base strain gage installed on the ship. Some correlation analyses have been also done to check whether there was significant torsional response during the voyage. Direct cycle counting method was used to derive stress histogram and the long-term fatigue damage was estimated based upon that analyzed data. It turned out that the fatigue damage of this particular ship during the measurement period increased by more than 60% due to the hydroelastic response of the hull, and main contribution is considered to come from vertical bending mode.

Composites are a material class for which nondestructive material property characterization is as important as flaw detection. Laminates of fiber reinforced composites often possess strong in-plane elastic anisotropy attributable to the specific fiber orientation and layup sequence when waves are propagating in the thickness direction of composite laminates. So the layup orientation greatly influences its properties in a composite laminate. It could result in the part being .ejected and discarded if the layup orientation of a ply is misaligned. A nondestructive technique would be very beneficial, which could be used to test the part after curing and requires less time than the optical test. Therefore a ply-by-ply vector decomposition model has been developed, simplified, and implemented for composite laminates fabricated from unidirectional plies. This model decomposes the transmission of a linearly polarized ultrasound wave into orthogonal components through each ply of a laminate. Also in order to develop these methods into practical inspection tools, motorized system have been developed for different measurement modalities for acquiring ultrasonic signals as a function of in-plane angle. It is found that high probability shows between the model and tests developed in characterizing cured layups of the laminates.

Variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Japan/East Sea (JES) was studied using complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) analysis. Two daily data sets were analyzed: (1) New Generation 0.05o-gridded SST from Tohoku University, Japan (July 2002-July 2006), and (2) 0.25o-gridded SST from the Japan Meteorological Agency (October 1993-November 2006). Linkages with wind stress curl were revealed using 6-h 1o-gridded surface zonal and meridional winds from ancillary data of the Sea- WiFS Project, a special National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) product (1998-2005). SST anomalies (SSTA) were obtained by removing the seasonal signal, estimated as the leading mode of the CEOF decomposition of the original SST. Leading CEOF modes of residual SSTA obtained from both data sets were consistent with each other and were characterized by annual, semiannual, and quasi-biennial time scales estimated with 95% statistical significance. The Semiannual Mode lagged 2 months behind the increased occurrence of the anticyclonic (AC) wind stress curl over the JES. Links to dynamic processes were investigated by numerical simulations using an oceanic model. The suggested dynamic forcings of SSTA are the inflow of subtropical water into the JES through the Korea Strait, divergence in the surface layer induced by Ekman suction, meridional shifts of the Subarctic Front in the western JES, AC eddy formation, and wind-driven strengthening/weakening of large-scale currents. Events of west-east SSTA movement were identified in July-September. The SSTA moved from the northeastern JES towards the continental coast along the path of the westward branch of the Tsushima Current at a speed consistent with the advective scale.
