In Wyner-Ziv coding, video signals are reconstructed by correcting side information generated by block-based motion estimation/compensation at the decoder. The correction is not always accurate due to the limited number of parity bits and early stopping of low-density parity check accumulate (LDPCA) decoding in distributed video coding, or due to the limited number of measurements in distributed compressive video sensing. The blocking artifacts caused by block-based processing are usually conspicuous in smooth areas and degrade the perceptual quality of the reconstructed video. Conventional deblocking filters try to remove the artifacts by treating both sides of the block boundary equally; however, coding errors generated by block-based processing are not necessarily the same on both sides of the block boundaries. Such a block-wise difference is exploited in this paper to improve deblocking for Wyner-Ziv frameworks by designing a filter where the deblocking strength at each block can be non-identical, depending on the reliability of the reconstructed pixels. Test results show that the proposed filter not only improves subjective quality by reducing the coding artifacts considerably, but also gains rate distortion performance.

This paper introduces the world's first programmable video-processing platform for the enhancement of the video quality of the 8K(7680x4320) UHD(Ultra High Definition) TV operating up to 60 frames per second. In order to support required computing capacity and memory bandwidth, the proposed platform implemented several key features such as symmetric multi-cluster architecture for parallel data processing, a ring-data path between the clusters for data pipelining and hardware accelerators for computing filter operations. The proposed platform based on RP(Reconfigurable Processor) processes video quality enhancement algorithms and handles effectively new UHD broadcasting standards and display panels.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of Jeung-pyun using high yielding type rice (Dasan, Keunseom) and processing type rice (Daerip, Seolgang, Yangjo) for applying a new processes in rice food industry. The weight, volume, specific volume and expansion of Jeung-pyun were the highest in Dasan. The shapes of cross section showed that the air cell of Jeung-pyun made from Dasan and Daerip were smaller and more regular than Keunseom, Seolgang, and Yangjo. The Jeung-pyun of Daerip was the highest in L value, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness, Keunseom was the highest in a value and hardness; Yangjo was the highest in b value, adhesiveness and gumminess. Jeung-pyun of Dasan was shown, through sensory evaluation, to be the highest in flavor, appearance and overall preference. The Jeung-pyun of Daerip was the highest in color and taste preference, while Seolgang was the highest in texture preference.

In a DCT coding, degradations called block artifact and mosquito noise are appeared in reconstructed pictures. They should be reduced in post processing after decoding without superabundant processing. However, an estimation of mosquito noise is rare because of its difficulty. To realize an estimation of mosquito noise level, we extract a block that mosquito noise will be easy to occur. Mosquito noise level is calculated at a selected side of the block. In this processing, only the sides of high probability block are used. Then, a block value is taken by averaging. Finally, the picture value is calculated by averaging of this. Estimation method is evaluated by using the MPEG-4 decoded pictures. Quantization scale of coding and the estimated mosquito noise level are compared. As the results, we recognize the proposed method gives almost reasonable mosquito block and absolute level. Father, adaptive filter is controlled by the estimated mosquito noise level. It is recognized that the high quality of decoded picture is kept and the mosquito noise is reduced effectively at the picture with degradation.

ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D6751-10 suggests analytical methods as well as specifications for biodiesel quality. However, it is expensive and time-consuming to follow the ASTM testing methods to analyze biodiesel and various impurities. This paper develops a quantitative analysis system for biodiesel and impurities based on Infrared spectroscopy and a multivariate statistical method, PLS (partial least squares). In addition, four different pre-processing techniques were compared for spectrum correction and noise reduction. Savitzky-Golay pre-processing showed the best performance.

Optimal quality retentions of cooked rice packed in retort pouch were simulated by computer using various thicknesses of retort pouch (5 to 24mm) and process temperatures (110 to $150^{\circ}C$). Optimal conditions were chosen by the minimal c-values and maximal thiamine retention when good bacteriological lethality (12D processing) was obtained. From the results of calculations, it were shown that the better quality retentions of high tharmal processing can be obtained below pouch thickness of l0mm and that the thickness of pouch is critical factor at higher processing temperature.

A multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system is developed to solve the manhole cover detection problem for the infrastructure maintenance in the suburbs of big city. The visible light sensor is employed to collect the ground image data and a series of image processing and machine learning methods are used to detect the manhole cover. First, the image enhancement technique is employed to improve the imaging effect of visible light camera. An imaging environment perception method is used to increase the computation robustness: the blind Image Quality Evaluation Metrics (IQEMs) are used to percept the imaging environment and select the images which have a high imaging definition for the following computation. Because of its excellent processing effect the adaptive Multiple Scale Retinex (MSR) is used to enhance the imaging quality. Second, the Single Shot multi-box Detector (SSD) method is utilized to identify the manhole cover for its stable processing effect. Third, the spatial coordinate of manhole cover is also estimated from the ground image. The practical applications have verified the outdoor environment adaptability of proposed algorithm and the target detection correctness of proposed system. The detection accuracy can reach 99% and the positioning accuracy is about 0.7 meters.

The numerous applications surface interpolation include the modeling and visualization phenomena. A tetrahedrization is one of pre-processing steps for 4-D space interpolation. The quality of a piecewise linear interpolation 4-D space depends not only on the distribution of the data points in $R^2$, but also on the data values. We show that the quality of approximation can be improved by data dependent tetraheadrization through visualization of 4-D space. This paper discusses Delaunary tetrahedrization method(sphere criterion) and one of the data dependent tetrahedrization methods(least squares fitting criterion). This paper also discusses new data dependent criteria:1) gradient difference, and 2) jump in normal direction derivative.

We present two heuristic algorithms for the task allocation problem (NP-complete problem) in parallel computing. The problem is to find an optimal mapping of multiple communicating tasks of a parallel program onto the multiple processing nodes of a distributed-memory multicomputer. The purpose of mapping these tasks into the nodes of the target architecture is the minimization of parallel execution time without sacrificing solution quality. Many heuristic approaches have been employed to obtain satisfactory mapping. Our heuristics are based on genetic algorithms and simulated annealing. We formulate an objective function as a total computational cost for a mapping configuration, and evaluate the performance of our heuristic algorithms. We compare the quality of solutions and times derived by the random, greedy, genetic, and annealing algorithms. Our experimental findings from a simulation study of the allocation algorithms are presented.
