  • A pre-processing system for adaptive noise removal is proposed based on the principle of identifying and filtering object regions and background regions. Human perception of images depends on bright, well-focused object regions; these regions can be treated with the best filters, while simpler filters can be applied to other regions to reduce overall computational complexity. In the proposed method, bright region segmentation is performed, followed by segmentation of object and background regions. Noise in dark, background, and object regions is then removed by the median, fast bilateral, and bilateral filters, respectively. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm is much faster than and performs nearly as well as the bilateral filter (which is considered a powerful noise removal algorithm); it reduces computation time by 19.4 % while reducing PSNR by only 1.57 % relative to bilateral filtering. Thus, the proposed algorithm remarkably reduces computation while maintaining accuracy.

  • 본 논문에서는 영상 데이터 압축을 위하여 2- 채널 멀티웨이브렛 변환을 적용하였다. 멀티웨이브렛 시스템은 음성 데이터 등의 비정상적인 신호의 압축에 스칼라 웨이브렛 시스템을 능가하는 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있으나 2차원 데이터인 영상 데이터의 경우에는 멀티웨이브렛 시스템 특유의 시각적 격자 오류가 발생하는 문제가 있다. 본문의 멀티웨이브렛 변환 및 압축 시스템에서는 멀티웨이브렛 효과에 의하여 발생하는 격자 오류를 제거하기 위하여 전후처리 필터링을 멀티웨이브렛 변환 및 압축 시스템에 접목하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 제안한 시스템의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 영상 데이터의 압축 기능 측면에서 스칼라 웨이브렛 시스템과 비교하였다. 이때, 비트 할당과 양자화를 위해서 전송율 결과는 제안한 멀티웨이브렛 변화 및 압축 시스템이 스칼라 웨이브렛 시스템 보다 영상 압축 성능 측면에서 1 ~ 2 dB 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 만약 SPIHT과 run-length 채널 부호화 기법 등의 우수한 압축 기술을 멀티웨이브렛 변환 시스템에 적용한다면 더욱 우수한 성능 개선 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The introduction of recommender systems to existing online services is now practically inevitable, with the increasing number of items and users on online services. Popular recommender systems have successfully implemented satisfactory systems, which are usually based on collaborative filtering. However, collaborative filtering-based recommenders suffer from well-known problems, such as popularity bias, and the cold-start problem. In this paper, we propose an innovative collaborative-filtering based recommender system, which uses the concepts of Experts and Novices to create fine-grained recommendations that focus on being novel, while being kept relevant. Experts and Novices are defined using pre-made clusters of similar items, and the distribution of users' ratings among these clusters. Thus, in order to generate recommendations, the experts are found dynamically depending on the seed items of the novice. The proposed recommender system was built using the MovieLens 1 M dataset, and evaluated with novelty metrics. Results show that the proposed system outperforms matrix factorization methods according to discovery-based novelty metrics, and can be a solution to popularity bias and the cold-start problem, while still retaining collaborative filtering.

  • To improve the effect of image restoration and solve the image detail loss, an image dehazing enhancement algorithm based on mean guided filtering is proposed. The superpixel calculation method is used to pre-segment the original foggy image to obtain different sub-regions. The Ncut algorithm is used to segment the original image, and it outputs the segmented image until there is no more region merging in the image. By means of the mean-guided filtering method, the minimum value is selected as the value of the current pixel point in the local small block of the dark image, and the dark primary color image is obtained, and its transmittance is calculated to obtain the image edge detection result. According to the prior law of dark channel, a classic image dehazing enhancement model is established, and the model is combined with a median filter with low computational complexity to denoise the image in real time and maintain the jump of the mutation area to achieve image dehazing enhancement. The experimental results show that the image dehazing and enhancement effect of the proposed algorithm has obvious advantages, can retain a large amount of image detail information, and the values of information entropy, peak signal-to-noise ratio, and structural similarity are high. The research innovatively combines a variety of methods to achieve image dehazing and improve the quality effect. Through segmentation, filtering, denoising and other operations, the image quality is effectively improved, which provides an important reference for the improvement of image processing technology.

  • 최근 터치 디스플레이를 내장한 모바일 기기의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 터치 디스플레이 기기는 터치 신호의 정확도와 반응 속도가 매우 중요하기 때문에 터치 신호에 포함된 잡음을 빠르고 정확하게 제거할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문은 신호의 움직임을 고려한 칼만 필터링을 이용해 터치 잡음을 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 먼저, 효과적인 칼만 필터링을 위해 입력 신호를 프리엠퍼시스함으로써, 일반적으로 값이 큰 터치 신호는 더욱 값을 키우고, 일반적으로 값이 작은 잡음은 값을 더욱 감소시킨다. 다음으로, 터치 포인트의 수직 라인을 따라 잡음이 발생하는 터치 패널 고유의 특징을 이용하여 신호의 움직임 유무를 검출한다. 그래서 움직임이 있다고 판단되는 경우에만 추가적으로 움직임 추정을 수행한다. 우리는 움직임 추정 시 터치 신호가 존재하는 주변 영역만을 이용하여 전체 영역에 대해 움직임을 추정할 때보다 75%의 연산량을 감소시킨다. 마지막으로 칼만 필터링을 수행한다. 실험 결과는 제안 기법이 양방향 필터, NLM 등의 기존 기법보다 터치 신호의 크기는 유지 혹은 증가시키며 주변 잡음들을 충분히 완화시킴으로써 올바른 터치 인식이 되는 효과를 가짐을 보였다. 또한 제안 기법은 기존 기법 대비 적은 연산량으로 효과적인 잡음 제거를 나타내었다.

  • Recently CRT is getting flatted, As change of CRT trend from normal type to Flat type, the material of Shadow Mask was also changed from AK(Aluminum Killed) to Invar(Fe-Ni alloy) materials Until now we have used just AK(Aluminum Killed) for normal type TV(not flat type), but main raw material of shadow mask component was changed. . However recently Invar(Fe-Ni alloy) materials, which has advantage of Low Thermal Expansion and High Strength, has been developed as well as applying in mass production as CRT's trend has become more flat and fine pitch. As main raw material of shadow mask component was changed, conditions of process were changed. One of them, the importance of pre-etching process (assistant process for developing & etching) is improved because there are so many particles in the pre-etching bath because of Ni compounds. Since the solubility of Ni in pre-etching solvent is very low related to Fe's, so the compounds of Ni happen to make particles.(the solubility of Fe is twenty times Ni's) that particles happen to make process troubles and NG productions so to clear the particles we had to established high cost filtering system, but it is useless. As time goes by the quantity of particles (Ni compounds) was increased because of the capability of filtering system was not enough, the particles was produced continuous in bath, and it make quality problems. Hence we tried to develop the new pre-etching solution to remove the particles (Ni compounds) and to cost down the filtering system's running cost. But in improving the solution we discovered the new pre-etching solution made the PR developing better. In former solution there were three kinds of chemistry (COOH)2 , H2O2 , H2S04 .first the function of (COOH)2 is drilling the surface of Invar, during this mechanism Ni compounds occurred. Second the function of H202 is removing the PR fringe (half UV exposure zone on PR(PVA)), Third the function of H2S04 is the catalysis of (COOH)2 In those, (COOH)2 was the main reason to make the Ni compounds. So to improve the solutions we had to change (COOH)2 to the other material. the chemistry we improved was a complex chemistry based on H2S04 . after using this chemistry the particles problem was disappeared and there was another advantage cut down the PR fringe. The New solution made the function of H202 better so the PR developing improved. To be direct the catalyst of the new solution helped the H202. anyway First thing after change the solution the quality of shadow Mask for flat color TV was improved & the yield also improved. But the more important thing is how to control the new solution. So we accepted the new concept which was the degree of freshness. The degree of freshness is based on non-reacted solution which was 100% ( the degree of freshness) and calculated the melted Ni quantity as time goes by. So we made the gauging liner plot. In conclusion, many companies tried to make fine pitched Shadow Mask ,generally to make quality jump up it needed a lot of cost & persons .in this case the shift of core material made it possible.

  • There have been numerous studies on the enhancement of the noisy speech signal. In this paper, I propose a completely new speech enhancement method, that is, a filtering of a dissonant frequency combined with noise reduction algorithm. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method provides a significant gain in audible improvement compared with the conventional method. Therefore if the proposed enhancement scheme is used as a pre-filter, the perceptual quality of speech is greatly enhanced.
