In developing an automated surface inspect algorithm, we have designed a hierarchical classifier using neural network. The defects which exist on the surface of cold mill strip have a scattering or singular distribution. We have considered three major problems, that is preprocessing, feature extraction and defect classification. In preprocessing, Top-hit transform, adaptive thresholding, thinning and noise rejection are used Especially, Top-hit transform using local minimax operation diminishes the effect of bad lighting. In feature extraction, geometric, moment, co-occurrence matrix, and histogram ratio features are calculated. The histogram ratio feature is taken from the gray-level image. For defect classification, we suggest a hierarchical structure of which nodes are multilayer neural network classifiers. The proposed algorithm reduced error rate by comparing to one-stage structure.

In this paper, Hadamard transform imaging spectrometers utilizing Grill spectrometers are proposed. General Hadamard Transform Spectrometers (HTS) carry out one-encoding through input masks, but Grill spectrometers carry out double-encoding through entrance and exit masks. Thus Grill spectrometers increase the signal-to-noise ratio by double-encoding. we reconfigure the system by using the Grill spectrometers which use a left cyclic S-matrix instead of the conventional right cyclic one. Then, we model the system and apply the mask characteristics method, i.e. $T^{I}$ method, to complete fast algorithm. Through computer simulations, we want to prove the superiority of the proposed system by comparing with the conventional HTS. From Observations concerning the average mean square error(AMSE) associated with estimates from the $T^{I}$ spectrum-recovery method, the relative performances of the two systems are compared.

The vibration characteristics of a rotating cantilever beam undergoing impulsive force are investigated using wavelet transformation. The transient response induced by the impulsive force and the rigid body motion of the beam are calculated using hybrid deformation variable modeling along with the Rayleigh-Ritz assumed mode methods. The vibration characteristics of the beam can be analyzed in time-frequency domain with the wavelet transform method. Therefore, the effects of the impulsive force on the transient vibration characteristics of the beam can be investigated more effectively.

In this paper, we develope a wavelet transform based time-frequency domain reflectometry (WTFDR) for the fault localization of underground power cable. The conventional TFDR (CTFDR) is more accurate than other reflectometries to localize the cable fault. However, the CTFDR has some weak points such as long computation time and hard implementation because of the nonlinearity of the Wigner-Ville distribution used in the CTFDR. To solve the problem, we use the complex wavelet transform (CWT) because the CWT has the linearity and the reference signal in the TFDR has a complex form. To confirm the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, the actual experiments are carried out for various fault types of the underground power cable.

This paper describes real time object tracking of 3D objects in 2D image sequences. The moving objects are segmented from the image sequence using morphological operations. The moving objects are segmented by the method of differential image followed by the process of morphological dilation. The moving objects are recognized and tracked using statistical moments. The direction of moving objects are determined by the Hough transform. The straight lines in the moving objects are found with the help of Hough transform. The direction of the moving object is calculated from the orientation of the straight lines in the direction of the principal axes of the moving objects. The direction of the moving object and the displacement of the object in the image sequence is used to calculate the velocity of the moving objects. The simulation results of the proposed method are promising on the test images.

In the decoding process of interframe wavelet coding, the inverse wavelet transform requires huge computational complexity. However, the decoder may need to be used in various devices such as PDAs, notebooks, PCs or set-top Boxes. Therefore, the decoder's complexity should be adapted to the processor's computational power. A decoder designed in accordance with the processor's computational power would provide optimal services for such devices. So, it is natural that the complexity scalability and the low complexity codec are also listed in the requirements for scalable video coding. In this contribution, we develop a method of controlling and lowering the complexity of the spatial wavelet transform while sustaining almost the same coding efficiency as the conventional spatial wavelet transform. In addition, the proposed method may alleviate the ringing effect for certain video data.

This paper presents the analyzed result of the series arc fault current by using the discrete wavelet transform. The series arcing is caused by a loose connection in series with the load circuit. The series arc current is limited to a moderate value by the resistance of the device connected to the circuit, such as an appliance or a lighting system. The amount of energy in the sparks from the series arcing is less than in the case of parallel arcing but only a few amps are enough to be a fire hazard. Therefore, it is hard to detect the distinctive difference between a normal current and a intermittent arc current. This paper, presents the variation of the ratio of peak values and RMS values of the series arc fault current, and proposes the novel series arc fault detecting method by using the discrete wavelet transform. Loads such as a CFL lamp, a vacuum cleaner, a personal computer, and a television, which has the very similar normal current with the arc current, were selected to confirm the novel method.

The implementation of chirplet transform to locate axially aligned defects in pipes has been investigated. The results are obtained from experiments performed on a carbon steel pipe using magnetostrictive sensors. Chirplet transform is applied to the reflected signal to separate the individual modes from dispersive and multimodal waveform. The separated modes are used to calculate reflection coefficients which would be used to characterize defects. It is found that the reflection from a defect consists of the wave pulses with gradually decaying amplitudes. Also the results show that the reflection coefficient initially increases with the crack length but finally reaches an oscillating regime.

Wavelets are localized in space and in frequency. This localization properties result from the multiresolution analysis of wavelets. The wavelet transform can be used to detect singularity of dynamic systems after the signal is de-noised. We applied the wavelet transform decomposition and do-noising procedures to the Hanaro dynamics consisting of 39 nonlinear differential equation plus Gaussian noise. The numerical tests demonstrate that the wavelet transform de-noising is effective for detection of the abrupt reactivity change and computationally efficient. Thus this wavelet theory could be profitably utilized in a real-time system for automatic event recognition (e.g., reactor condition monitoring).

Huffman, Park and Skoug introduced various results for the $L_p$ analytic Fourier-Feynman transform and the convolution for functionals on classical Wiener space which belong to some Banach algebra S introduced by Cameron and Strovic. Also Chang, Kim and Yoo extended the above results to an abstract Wiener space for functionals in the Fresnel class F(B) which corresponds to S. Recently Kim, Song and Yoo investigated more generalized relationships between the Fourier-Feynman transform and the convolution product for functionals in a generalized Fresnel class $F_{A_1,A'_2}$ containing F(B). In this paper, we establish various interesting relationships and expressions involving the first variation and one or two of the concepts of the Fourier-Feynman transform and the convolution product for functionals in $F_{A_1,A_2}$.
