Advanced signal processing techniques have been long introduced and widely used in structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE). In our research, we applied several signal processing approaches for our embedded ultrasonic structural radar (EUSR) system to obtain improved damage detection results. The EUSR algorithm was developed to detect defects within a large area of a thin-plate specimen using a piezoelectric wafer active sensor (PWAS) array. In the EUSR, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was first applied for signal de-noising. Secondly, after constructing the EUSR data, the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) were used for the time-frequency analysis. Then the results were compared thereafter. We eventually chose continuous wavelet transform to filter out from the original signal the component with the excitation signal's frequency. Third, cross correlation method and Hilbert transform were applied to A-scan signals to extract the time of flight (TOF) of the wave packets from the crack. Finally, the Hilbert transform was again applied to the EUSR data to extract the envelopes for final inspection result visualization. The EUSR system was implemented in LabVIEW. Several laboratory experiments have been conducted and have verified that, with the advanced signal processing approaches, the EUSR has enhanced damage detection ability.

A digital image watermarking algorithm is proposed that uses human visual system (HVS) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In this algorithm, an image is decomposed into four-level by DWT which reveals the characteristics of the human eyes and watermark is embedded into DWT coefficients using HVS. For robustness, the lowest level subbands which represent the highest frequency component are excluded in watermark embedding step and watermark is embedded into the perceptually significant coefficients (PSCs) of the rest subbands. PSCs of the baseband are selected according to the amplitude of the coefficients and PSCs of the high frequency subbands are selected by successive subband quantization (SSQ). Watermark is embedded into the PSCs of the baseband and high frequency subbands by Weber\`s law and spatial masking effect, respectively, for the invisibility and robustness. We tested the performance of the proposed algorithm compared with the conventional watermarking algorithm by computer simulation. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm produces a better invisibility and robustness than the conventional algorithm.

본 논문에서는 Wavelet을 이용한 위장 영상의 질환 부위 특징을 추출하여 질환 부위 패턴을 인식할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 전처리 과정으로서 위장 영상이 형태정보는 입력 영상을 DWT(Discrete wavelet transform)에 의해 4레벨 DWT 계수 행렬을 구하고 계수 행렬의 특징에 따라 저주파 계수 행렬로부터 저주파 특징 파라미터 32개, 수평 고주파 계수 행렬로부터 수평 고주파 특징 파라미터 16개, 수직 고주파 계수 행렬로부터 수직 고주파 특징 파라미터 16개, 그리고, 대각 고주파 계수 행렬로부터 대각 고주파 특징 파라미터 32개 등 모두 96개의 특징 파라미터를 추출한 후 각각의 특징 파라미터를 최대 값+0.5로 최소 값을 -0.5로 정규화 하여 신경회로망의 입력 벡터로 사용하였다. 위장 영상 패턴 인식을 위한 신경회로망은 교사 학습을 요구하는 다층 구조의 오차 역전파(Error back propagation)알고리즘으로 하였고 구조적 특성을 이용하여 입력층, 중간층, 출력층의 계층 구조로 설계하였다. 설계된 신경회로망의 학습은 학습계수를 0.2로 모우멘텀을 0.6으로 설정하여 출력층 최대오차가 0.01보다 작을 때까지 수행하였으며 약 8000회 정도 학습한 결과 설정값 보다 작은 결과를 얻었고 질환의 종류나 위치, 크기에 관계없이 100%의 인식률을 얻었다.

The modem multimedia applications which are video Processor, video conference or video phone and so forth require real time processing. Because of a large amount of image data, those require high compression performance. In this paper, the proposed image processing encoder was designed by using wavelet transform encoding. The proposed filter block can process image data on tile high speed because of composing individual function blocks by parallel and compute both highpass and lowpass coefficient in the same clock cycle. When image data is decomposed into multiresolution, the proposed scheme needs external memory and controller to save intermediate results and it can operate within 33㎒.

In this paper, we design an efficient, scalable one-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (1DDWT) filter using data reorder unit (DRU). At each level, the required hardware is optimized by sharing multipliers and adders because the input rate is reduced by a factor of two at each level due to decimation. The proposed architecture shows 100% hardware utilization by balancing hardware with input rate. Furthermore, sharing the coefficients of the highpass and the lowpass filters using the mirror filter property reduces the number of multipliers and adders by half. We designed a scalable DRU that efficiently reorders and feeds inputs to highpass and lowpass filters. The proposed DRU-based architecture is so regular and scalable that it can be easily extended to an arbitrary 1D DWT structure with M taps and J levels. Compared to other architectures, the proposed DWT filter shows efficiency in performance with relatively less hardware.

본 논문에서는 웨이브렛 변환을 적용한 광대역 음성부호화 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 음성부호화 알고리즘은 split-band 구조를 가지며, 16 kHz로 sampling된 입력신호를 QMF를 이용해서 동일한 대역폭을 갖는 두 개의 subband 신호로 나누고 이를 8kHz의 sampling율을 갖도록 downsampling 한다. 그리고 저대역 신호는 GSM-EFR 음성부호화 알고리즘을 이용하여 부호화하고, 고대역 신호는 DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform)을 적용하여 subband로 나누어 부호화하였다. 각 subband에서 양자화 된 파라미터는 IDWT(Inverse DWT)과정을 거쳐서 upsampling되고 합성 QMF를 통과시켜 최종 합성음을 구하였다. 제안한 음성부호화기는 저대역 신호의 GSM-EFR 부호화에 12.2 kbps, 웨이브렛 변환을 이용한 고대역 신호의 부호화에 7.8 kbps로 전체 20 kbps의 전송율을 가지면서 G.722 표준안의 56 kbps에서의 합성음과 비슷한 음질을 나타내었다.

Electrical fires have been occurred continuously in spite of installing ELB. Therefore the concern with the electrical arc-fault that cause the fire has growing. This paper measured series arc fault currents by the method of arc generator test in UL standard 1699. The used analysis methods in this paper are three different ways using DWT(discrete wavelet transform) those are frequently used for the arc fault current signal analysis. The arc fault detection probability is 100 % by method using noise-energy/shoulder-duration ratio of approximation coefficient. As these results, the variation of noise-energy and shoulder-duration ratio of approximation coefficient are founded important factors for the analysis of arc fault.

JPEG2000 standard for image compression using the software implementation of the processing speed is very slow compared to conventional JPEG disadvantages, and also the standard of JPEG2000 DWT (Discrete wavelet transform) to improve the level of compression for image data if processing speed is a phenomenon that has degraded. In order to solve these JPEG2000 compression / decompression groups were designed and applied. In this paper, the optimal JPEG2000 compression / reservoir hardware by changing the level for still image compression, faster computation speed and quality has shown improvement.

In the future, the convenient speech command system will become an widely-using interface in automation systems. But the previous research in speech recognition didn't give satisfactory recognition results for the practical realization in the noise environment. The purpose of this research is the development of a practical system, which reliably recognizes the speech command of the registered users, by complementing an existing research which used the image information with the speech signal. For the lip-reading feature extraction from a image, we used the DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform), which reduces the size and gives useful characteristics of the original image. And to enhance the robustness to the environmental changes of speakers, we acquired the speech signal by stereo method. We designed an economic stand-alone system, which adopted a Bt829 and an AD1819B with a TMS320C31 DSP based add-on board.
