DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 계수 제거 기법은 MC(Motion Compensated)-DCT 기반의 MPEG 비디오에서의 효율적인 율적응 트랜스코딩 기법이다. 그러나, 이들 기법에서는 DCT 계수 제거로 인한 왜곡이 전파되게 되고 종종 심각한 화질 열화를 유발하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 왜곡 전파 특성에 대한 두 가지의 통계적 성질을 제시하고 수식적으로 분석한다. 즉, 현재 프레임의 DCT 계수 제거 왜곡과 이전 프레임에서 전파되어 오는 왜곡간에 상관성이 없음을 보이고 각 프레임의 DCT 제거로 발생되는 전파 왜곡의 누적과 현 프레임의 DCT 계수 제거 왜곡의 합으로 전체 왜곡을 근사할 수 있음을 보인다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 본 논문에서 수식적으로 제시한 통계적 특성이 실제 비디오 시퀀스에서 유효함을 실험적으로 증명한다.

최근에 FD(frame Dropping)-CD(Coefficient Dropping) 트랜스코딩기법은 계산량을 줄이고, 손쉽게 구현할 수 있다는 측면에서 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 기법에서는 CD로 인하여 발생되는 왜곡 특성이 GOP내의 부호화 의존성을 갖는 프레임의 복호화 영상 품질에 전파 및 누적되는 성질을 고려하고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 CD로 인하여 발생되는 왜곡을 수식적으로 분석하고, CD왜곡이 전파/누적됨을 모의실험을 통하여 분석한다. 또한, 실험직인 결과에 기초하여, CD에 의한 전파/누적 왜곡 특성을 지수 감소함수 형태로 모델링한다. 모의실험을 통하여, 제안된 모델은 CD로 인해 초래되는 전체 누적왜곡 크기를 잘 예측할 수 있음을 보인다.

피드백 채널을 이용한 디코더는 인코더로 전송에러에 의한 오염된 매크로 블록들의 주소를 알려준다. NACK 메시지의 수신으로 인코더는 전송에러가 발생된 프레임의 GOB와 MB를 기준으로 forward dependency를 적용으로 확산된 에러전파영역을 지닌 다음순서의 프레임을 만들어낸다. 이 프레임으로 현재 인코딩 하려는 프레임의 각 MB안에 4-corner에 존재하는 픽셀들에 대한 backward dependency를 적용함으로써 오염된 MB을 찾아낼 수가 있다. 이들 오염된 MB들에 대한 INTRA코딩을 적용함으로써 에러확산을 완전히 중단시킬 수 있다. 이와 같이 빠른 알고리즘의 적용으로 보다 적은 연산량과 보다 적은 양의 메모리 요구를 얻을 수 있다 또한 이러한 장점은 실시간 비디오 전송에 특히 적합하다.

Recent research indicates that transient errors will increasingly become a critical concern in microprocessor design. As embedded processors are widely used in reliability-critical or noisy environments, it is necessary to develop cost-effective fault-tolerant techniques to protect processors against transient errors. The register file is one of the critical components that can significantly affect microprocessor system reliability, since registers are typically accessed very frequently, and transient errors in registers can be easily propagated to functional units or the memory system, leading to silent data error (SDC) or system crash. This paper focuses on investigating the impact of register file soft errors on system reliability and developing cost-effective techniques to improve the register file immunity to soft errors. This paper proposes the register vulnerability factor (RVF) concept to characterize the probability that register transient errors can escape the register file and thus potentially affect system reliability. We propose an approach to compute the RVF based on register access patterns. In this paper, we also propose two compiler-directed techniques and a hybrid approach to improve register file reliability cost-effectively by lowering the RVF value. Our experiments indicate that on average, RVF can be reduced to 9.1% and 9.5% by the hyperblock-based instruction re-scheduling and the reliability-oriented register assignment respectively, which can potentially lower the reliability cost significantly, without sacrificing the register value integrity.

A visually servoed paired structured light system (ViSP) was recently proposed as a novel estimation method of the 6-DOF (Degree-Of-Freedom) relative displacement in civil structures. In order to apply the ViSP to massive structures, multiple ViSP modules should be installed in a cascaded manner. In this configuration, the estimation errors are propagated through the ViSP modules. In order to resolve this problem, a displacement estimation error back-propagation (DEEP) method was proposed. However, the DEEP method has some disadvantages: the displacement range of each ViSP module must be constrained and displacement errors are corrected sequentially, and thus the entire estimation errors are not considered concurrently. To address this problem, a pose-graph optimized displacement estimation (PODE) method is proposed in this paper. The PODE method is based on a graph-based optimization technique that considers entire errors at the same time. Moreover, this method does not require any constraints on the movement of the ViSP modules. Simulations and experiments are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the PODE method reduces the propagation errors in comparison with a previous work.

This paper presents decision feedback equalizers using a recurrent neural network trained algorithm using extended Kalman filter(EKF) and sigma-point Kalman filter(SPKF). EKF is propagated, analytically through the first-order linearization of the nonlinear system. This can introduce large errors in the true posterior mean and covariance of the Gaussian random variable. The SPKF addresses this problem by using a deterministic sampling approach. The features of the proposed recurrent neural equalizer And we investigate the bit error rate(BER) between EKF and SPKF.

To predict the powering performance of full scale ships from the towing tank tests, resistance, propeller open water and self-propulsion tests are conducted. Model tests inevitably include the experimental error defined as the sum of two types of uncertainties, bias and precision errors. The induced errors in each element of model test are propagated through various routes and correlated with one another. The correlation coefficients are very important in the uncertainty analysis. The coefficient gives a direction(increase or decrease) for a value of error in individual elements. If the coefficient is not used accurately, the error bounds of the individual elements are overestimated or underestimated. In this study, the new methodology is applied to the uncertainty analysis of HMRI's towing tank tests, thus error bounds of each element is suggested and verified by several repetitive experiments.

A DPCM system employing a median predictor, which is called the predictive median-DPCM(PM-DPCM), is proposed. An interesting observation that in PM-DPCM transmission errors are often isolated and not propagated over the reconstructed signal is made, and is analyzed deterministically and statistically. In addition, it is shown that the decoder of the PM-DPCM is always a stable system. In addition, it is shown that the decoder of the PM-DPCM is always a stable system. In order to examine the performance characteristics of PM-DPCM, it is applied to real images. The results indicate that reconstructed images through the PM-DPCM can be better than those through thestandadrd DPCM when transmission errors occur, and that under noise-free conditions the PM-DPCM performs like the standard DPCM.

Proposed in this paper is a method of measurement of the flow rate in a pipe. The sound waves which are propagated within a pipe are characterized by that the wavenumber in the axial direction is changed according to the flow rate, and these characteristics are used in the present method of measurement of the flow rate. The amount of change in wavenumber of sound waves according to the flow rate can be obtained from the relationship among acoustic pressure signals within a pipe, which are measured by using a microphone array. The flow rate can be obtained by using the amount of change in wavenumber of sound waves and the relational equation of the flow rate. With respect to errors that can occur during the measurement of the flow rate, the types of errors and the method of correction of those errors are presented. This method of measurement of the flow rate has application limitation conditions due to the sensor interval, assumption of sound waves as plane waves, etc. The numerical simulation and experiments for measuring the flow rate of air in a pipe are performed in order to verify the applicability of this method of measurement of the flow rate. The experimental results are shown to be similar to those of the numerical simulation. And the flow rate measured is shown to be consistent with the actual value within 5% error bound.

본 논문에서는 피드백 채널을 사용하여 error resilient transmission에 적합한 개선된 에러 트래킹 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 오염된 블록들의 주소는 디코더에 의하여 인코더에게 보고 된다. 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하여 에러 전파를 줄였다. 인코더는 피드백 채널의 negative acknowledgement를 가지고 역방향 움직임 의존도를 조사하여 전파된 에러를 현재 인코딩 되는 프레임 내에서 정확하게 추적한다. 제안된 에러 트래킹 알고리즘을 사용하여 영향을 받은 매크로 블록을 INTRA 코딩함으로 에러 전파효과를 완전히 종식시킬 수 있다. 선택적으로 네 모서리 에러 트래킹 근사를 사용하는 제안된 알고리즘의 에러트래킹 연산량은 전체 픽셀을 사용한 경우의 에러트래킹의 연산량에 비하여 매우 적으나 영상의 질은 동일하게 유지된다.
