This paper presents a new structure of MPEG-4 AAC encoder. The proposed encoder directly shapes quantization noise distribution according to the energy distribution curve and thereafter performs adjustment of the offset level of the noise distribution to meet the given bit rate. The direct noise shaping and the bit rate matching scheme of the proposed encoder algorithm significantly alleviate the problem of conventional encoder's processing burden related with the employment of the precise psychoacoustic model and iteration intensive quantizer. The encoder algorithm is implemented on ARM processor with fixed-feint arithmetic operations. The audio quality of the implemented system is observed comparable to those of commercially available encoders, white the complexity of the implementation is drastically reduced in comparison to the conventional encoder systems.

In this paper, a systematic and statistical calibration technique was implemented to calibrate a high-speed signal converting system containing multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The systematic error (especially the imbalance between DACs) in the current combining network of the multi-DAC system was modeled and corrected by calculating the path coefficients for individual DACs with wideband reference signals. Furthermore, by applying a Kalman filter to suppress noise from quantization and clock jitter, accurate coefficients with minimum noise were identified. For correcting an arbitrary waveform generator with two DACs, a co-simulation platform was implemented to estimate the system degradation and its corrected performance. Simulation results showed that after correction with 4.8 Gbps QAM signal, the signal-to-noise-ratio improved by approximately 4.5 dB and the error-vector-magnitude improved from 4.1% to 1.12% over 0.96 GHz bandwidth.

A multiphase compensation method with mismatch linearization technique, is presented and demonstrated in a $\Sigma-\Delta$ fractional-N frequency synthesizer. An on-chip delay-locked loop (DLL) and a proposed delay line structure are constructed to provide multiphase compensation on $\Sigma-\Delta$ quantizetion noise. In the delay line structure, dynamic element matching (DEM) techniques are employed for mismatch linearization. The proposed $\Sigma-\Delta$ fractional-N frequency synthesizer is fabricated in a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology with 2.14-GHz output frequency and 4-Hz resolution. The die size is 0.92 mm$\times$1.15 mm, and it consumes 27.2 mW. In-band phase noise of -82 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset and out-of-band phase noise of -103 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset are measured with a loop bandwidth of 200 kHz. The settling time is shorter than $25{\mu}s$.

Recently, TRAO Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory is developing wide-band digital spectrometer for radio astronomy, which will be used as back-end signal processing unit of Dual channel SIS receiver. So in this paper, we performed development of high speed digitizing sampler for the wide-band digital autocorrelator, which can perform sampling and quantization on pseudo-random gaussian noise with the maximum conversion speed of 1.5 Gsps..

Compared with other features of the image, color features are less sensitive to noise and background complication. Besides, this adding to object segmentation has more accuracy of image retrieval. This paper presents object segmentation and HAQ(Histogram Analysis and Quantization) algorithm approach to extract features(the object information and the characteristic colors) of an image. The empirical results shows that this method presents exactly spatial and color information of an image as image retrieval's feature.

In this paper, a new fast voronoi divider for vector quantization (VQ) is introduced, which results from Theorem that the nearest vectors in the sense of minimum mean square error(MMSE) have almost the same mean values of their elements. An improved splitting method for a VQ codebook design using the fast voronoi divider is also presented. Experimental results show that the new method reduces the complexity of training a VQ codebook several times with a high signal to noise ratio(SNR) using an appropriate extensive parameter of codebook.

This paper proposes a new sigma delta modulator structure based on a LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm that minimizes the quantization noise. The proposed architecture provides 40dB SNR improvement and 35dB wider dynamic range over conventional sigma delta modulation. The proposed architecture provides superior performance especially when the input signal is small.

This paper describes realtime visual tracking system of moving object for three dimensional target using EKF(Extended Kalman Filter). We present a new realtime visual tracking using EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm. We demonstrate the performance of these tracking algorithm through real experiment. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm for realtime tracking and estimated state value of filter, predicting the position of moving object to minimize an image processing area, and by reducing the effect by quantization noise of image.

고압축 영상신호에서 발생된 양자화잡음 제거 효과를 비교하였다. 잡음제거는 Soft-Threshold 기법을 이용하여 각 대역에서 양자화 잡음을 제거하였다. Soft-Threshold 기법에 적용하기 위해 각 대역별 잡음분산을 Monotonic 변환 및 SURE, Visu 방법으로 추정하여 양자화 잡음제거 효과를 PSNR로 비교하였다. 양자화 잡음 제거 결과 영상에 따라 달라지지만 유니폼 양자화 영상에서 약 5～6dB 정도의 영상품질 개선 효과가 있었다.

음성 인식 시스템의 지속적인 발전으로 음성에 대한 인식율은 급속도로 발전되었지만 사용 환경에서의 잡음과 여러 음성이 혼합되어 발생하는 잡음으로 정확한 음성을 인식할 수 없는 단점을 가진다. 환경 잡음이 있는 음성을 처리할 때 음성 인식률을 높이기 위해서는 잡음을 제거해야 하며, 기존의 HMM, CHMM, GMM, 그리고 AI 모델이 적용된 DNN에서도 예상치 못한 잡음이 발생하거나 기본적으로 디지털 신호에 양자화 잡음이 추가되면 소스 신호가 변경되거나 손상되어 인식률이 저하된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 각 음성 프레임에 대한 음성 신호의 특징을 효율적으로 추출하기 위해 MFCC를 개선하여 처리하였으며, 음성 신호에 대한 잡음을 제거하기 위해 가우시안 모델을 적용한 잡음 편차 추정을 이용한 잡음 제거 방법을 개선하여 적용하였다. 제안된 모델에 대한 성능 평가는 음성에 대한 정확성 평가를 위해 교차 상관 계수를 사용하여 처리하였으며, 제안하는 방법의 인식률을 평가한 결과 이들에 대한 상관 계수에 대한 평균값 차이는 0.53 dB 개선된 것을 확인하였다.
