In this paper, a low bitrate video coding method based on new panoramic modeling is proposed for panning cameras. An input video frame from a panning camera is decomposed into a background image, rectangular moving object regions, and a residual image. In coding the background, we employ a panoramic model that can account for several image formation processes, such as perspective projection, lens distortion, vignetting and illumination effects. Moving objects aredetected, and their minimum bounding rectangular regions are coded with a JPEG-2000 coder. We have evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with several indoor and outdoor sequences and found that the PSNR is improved by $1.3{\sim}4.4dB$ compared to that of JPEG-2000.

MPEG-4 Parametric Coding 중 저 비트율로 음성신호를 부호화하는 HVXC(Harmonic Vector excitation Ending)의 복호화 모듈인 LSP 합성필터와 무성음 합성부, 유성음 합성부를 VHDL을 이용하여 구현하였다. MPEG-4 HVXC의 복호화 과정은 코드북을 이용하여 LSP 계수, VXC signal, 그리고 Spectral Envelop이 복호화 되어 각각 LSP 역필터, 무성음과 유성음 합성단을 통과하여 LPC계수와 유,무성음 여기신호로 변환된 후 LPC 합성필터링 과정을 거쳐 최종적으로 음성신호를 출력시킨다. LSP inverse filter에서 사용되는 cosine함수값을 위하여 Table based Approximation을 이용하여 적은 양의 Table 값을 사용하여 정확하고 고속의 cosine 연산을 수행하였다. VXC 복호화 과정에서는 신호의 중복성을 제거하는 Hidden Address in LSH 방법을 사용하여 코드북의 크기를 줄였다. 유성음 합성단에서는 IFFT 모듈을 이용하여 연산속도를 증가 시켰다. 최종적으로 위와 같이 구현된 시스템을 Simulation을 통해 Software 검증을 하였다.

본 논문은 멀티채널 오디오 신호를 두 채널의 다운믹스신호와 서브밴드별로 추출된 부가 정보로 표현하는 파라메트릭 멀티채널 압축 방식에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 파라메트릭 멀티채널 방식에서 사용하는 부가 정보로는 ICLD, ICC, OPD, IPD 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 부가 정보로서 phase관련 파라미터를 사용하지 않고, 채널간의 level difference에 상응하는 파라미터와 새로 제안한 diffuseness 계수를 사용하여 우수한 압축 성능을 보이는 파라메트릭 멀티채널 코딩 방식을 제안하고, 그 성능을 기존 방법과 비교하고자한다.

본 논문은 오디오 압축시 하모닉의 특성을 적용함으로써 신호의 압축률을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하는 내용을 기술하고 있다. 하모닉 코딩은 오디오 신호가 가지는 특징인 복합음(Complex tone)의 특성을 이용하는 것으로, 주파수 공간에서 정수배의 주파수가 존재하며, 정면파의 특성상 시간적으로 인접 신호들간의 유사성이 매우 높은 특징을 이용하여 압축효율을 향상시키는 방법이다. 하지만 실질적인 오디오 신호의 경우, 악기들의 harmonic stretch, 전달과정에서 발생하는 신호의 왜곡, 외부 잡음등의 특성으로 인하여 수집된 오디오 신호를 분석하는 과정에서 부정확한 하모닉의 판단이 이루어질 가능성이 높으며, 이는 압축과정에서 심각한 음질의 열화를 가져오게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 프레림간의 변화 추이의 판단을 통하여 하모닉의 변화를 예측하고, 예측 오류에 대한 보상값을 전달함으로써 오디오 신호의 안정적인 압축/복원이 가능하도록 하는 신호처리 방법에 대한 내용을 기술하고있다.

A new optimization scheme and some key techniques are proposed in the development of a vehicle glass drop design software system. The key issues of the design system are how to regenerate the glass surface and make the vehicle glass drop down along the glass channels. To resolve these issues, a parameterized model was created at first, in which the optimizing method and Knowledge Fusion techniques were adopted the optimized process was then written into the glass drop design system by coding with C language and UGS/Open Application Programme Interface functions etc. Therefore, the designer or engineer can simulate the process of glass dropping along the channels to assess the potential interference between glass and door accessory by using this software system. All of the testing results demonstrate the validity of the optimizing scheme, and the parametric design software effectively solves the key issues on development of the door accessory package.

Parametric study on the efficiency of Rotary Solid Dehumidifer are reported. Experi-ments have been performed by varying regeneration temperature, regeneration humidity, flow rate of regeneration air, angular velocity of dehumidifer rotor and regeneration angle. To improve the energy efficiency, MODE 2,3 where coding zone is constructed and MODE 4, 5 where recirculating zone is constructed, were studied through experimental method $\ldots$. These results show that economical operating ranges exist in regeneration temperature, flow rate of regeneration air, angular velocity of dehumidifier rotor and regeneration angle. MODE 2,3 where cooling zone is constructed between regeneration Bone and process zone, is far better than MODE 1 in view of energy effiency, and optimum cooling angle and flow rate of cooling air exist. But MODE 4 and MODE 5, where recirculating zone is constructed, are similar to MODE 1.

This paper addresses a problem of extraction of parameteric motion estimation and structural motion segmentation for compact image sequence representation and object-based generic video coding. In order to extract meaningful motion structure from image sequences, a direct parameteric motion estimation based on a pre-segmentation is proposed. The pre-segmentation which considers the motion of the moving objects is canied out based on probabilistic clustering with mixture models using optical flow and image intensities. Parametric motion segmentation can be obtained by iterated estimation of motion model parameters and region reassignment according to a criterion using Gauss-Newton iterative optimization algorithm. The efficiency of the proposed methoo is verified with computer simulation using elF real image sequences.

With the growing demand for metallic dampers in engineering practice, it is urgent to establish a reasonable approach to evaluating the mechanical performance of metallic dampers under seismic excitations. This paper introduces an effective method for parameter identification of the modified Bouc-Wen model and its application to evaluating the fatigue performance of metallic dampers (MDs). The modified Bouc-Wen model which eliminates the redundant parameter is used to describe the hysteresis behavior of MDs. Relations between the parameters of the modified Bouc-Wen model and the mechanical performance parameters of MDs are studied first. A modified Genetic Algorithm using real-integer hybrid coding with relative fitness as well as adaptive crossover and mutation rates (called RFAGA) is then proposed to identify the parameters of the modified Bouc-Wen model. A reliable approach to evaluating the fatigue performance of the MDs with respect to the Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010) is finally proposed based on the research results. Experimental data are employed to demonstrate the process and verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. It is shown that the RFAGA is able to converge quickly in the identification process, and the simulation curves based on the identification results fit well with the experimental hysteresis curves. Furthermore, the proposed approach is shown to be a useful tool for evaluating the fatigue performance of MDs with respect to the Chinese Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2010).

The primary and ambient signal decomposition of a stereo sound is a key step to the stereo upmix. The principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most widely used methods of primary-ambient signal decomposition. However, previous PCA-based decomposition algorithms assume that stereo sound sources are only amplitude-panned without any consideration of phase difference. So it occurs some performance degradation in case of live recorded stereo sound. In this paper, we propose a new PCA-based stereo decomposition algorithm that can consider the phase difference between the channel signals. The proposed algorithm overcomes limitation of conventional signal model using PCA with phase alignment. The phase alignment is realized by using inter-channel phase difference (IPD) which is widely used in parametric stereo coding. Moreover, Enhanced Modified PCA(EMPCA) is combined to solve the problem of conventional PCA caused by Primary to Ambient energy Ratio(PAR) and panning angle dependency. The simulation results are presented to show the improvements of the proposed algorithm.
