In this paper, A lane tracking algoritm is proposed for lane departure warning system. To eliminate perspective effect, input image is converted into Bird's View by inverse perspective mapping. Next, suitable features are extracted for lane detection. Using clustering and lane similarity function with noise suppression features are extracted. Finally, lane model is calculated using RANSAC and lane model is tracked using Kalman Filter. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be processed within 20ms and its detection rate approximately 90% on the highway in a variety of environments.

There are various methods to count the number of repetitive motions such as jump rope. Most of the methods use features extracted from the time-varying waves of acceleration or angular velocity, which is the main feature in the count of rotations in jump rope. However, there exist several variables and it is not easy to find the count with a single sensor. For example, accelerometer is susceptible to noise and vibration, and the angular velocity may cause a drift phenomenon, which is the main cause of the inaccurate count of jump rope rotation. In this paper, complementary filter is used to consider two sensors simultaneously and complement each other, which results in more accurate count in jump rope rotation. The proposed method can count the exact number of jump rope rotation compared to other existing methods only using one sensor value, which is confirmed through experimental results.

In general, an error budget of monopulse radar is proposed by manufacturer who assuming that all of external enviromental error resources such as multipath, glint, dynamic lag variation are removed. So until now, a measurement uncertainty of monopulse radar can be discussed including external enviromental error resources. In this paper, it is described that which kinds of error resource can effect on monopulse radar measurement uncertainty for different target property. To prove it experimentally, at first a simulation result is described assuming that all of external enviromental error resources are removed. It only includes receiver thermal noise. And then, monopulse radar measurement uncertainty estimation results tracking on calibration target which is fixed on specific position, calibration sphere which is moving slowly, weapon systems firing test which is moving fast are described quantitativly. All of these targets have different dynamic property.

Tracking of sound-location is widely used in various area such as intelligent CCTV, video conference and voice commander. In this paper we introduce the real-time sound-location tracking method for smart lecture system using TDoA(Time Difference of Arrival) with orthogonal microphone array on the ceiling. Through discussion on some models of TDoA detection, cross correlation method using linear microphone array is proposed. Orthogonal array with 5 microphone could detect omni direction of sound-location. For real-time detection we adopt the threshold of received energy for eliminating no-voice interval, signed cross correlation for reducing computational complexity. The detected azimuth angles are processed using median filter for lowering the angle deviation. The proposed system is implemented with high performance MCU of TMS320F379D and MEMs microphone module and shows the accuracy of 0.5 and 6.5 in degree for white noise and lectured voice, respectively.

In this paper, a continuous-time filter for low voltage and high frequency applications using fully-balanced current integrators is presented. As the balanced structure of integrator circuits, the designed filter has improved noise characteristics and wide dynamic range since even-order harmonics are cancelled and the input signal range is doubled. Using complementary current mirrors, bias circuits are simplified and the cutoff frequency of filters can be controlled easily by a single DC bias current. As a design example, the 3rd-order lowpass Butterworth filter with a leapfrog realization is designed. The designed fully-balanced current-mode filter is simulated and examined by SPICE using 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS n-well process parameters. The simulation results show 50MHz cutoff frequency, 69㏈ dynamic range with 1% total harmonic distortion(THD), and 4㎽ power dissipation with a 3V supply voltage.

The digital DBS tuner is designed and implemented in a CMOS process using a direct-conversion architecture that offers a high degree of integration. To generate mathched LO I/Q quadrature signals covering the total input frequency range, a fully integrated ring oscillator is employed. And, to decrease a high level of phase noise of the ring oscillator, a frequency synthesizer is designed using a double loop strucure. This paper proposes and verifies a band selective loop for fast frequency switching time of the double loop frequency synthesizer. The down-conversion mixer with source follower input stages is used for low voltage operation. An experiment implementation of the frequency synthesizer and mixer with integrated a 0.25um CMOS process achieves a switching time of 600us when frequency changes from 950 to 2150MHz. And, the experiment results show a quadrature amplitude mismatch of max. 0.06dB and a quadrature phase mismathc of max. >$3.4^{\circ}$.

The wireless communication based on LDPC and adaptive spatial-subcarrier coded modulation using MQAM for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless transmission by using instantaneous channel state information and employing multiple antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver. Adaptive coded modulation is a promising idea for bandwidth-efficient transmission on time-varying, narrowband wireless channels. On power limited Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, low density parity check (LDPC) codes are a class of error control codes which have demonstrated impressive error correcting qualities, under some conditions performing even better than turbo codes. The paper demonstrates OFDM with LDPC and adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. An optimization algorithm to obtain a bit and power allocation for each subcarrier assuming instantaneous channel knowledge is used. The experimental results are shown the potential of our proposed system.

This paper describes the performance assessment test and analysis of test results on a Korean speech recognizer which recognizes Lombard effect received speech in noisy environment, as a basic performance assessment research. In the assessement test, standard speech data were first manipulated close to speech uttered in a noisy environment, and then performance assessment tests were carried out along with the assessment items (the type of noise, SNR) in two ways-one with Lombard effect received speech(LES), the other with not received(NLES). As a result, when 90% of recognition rate is set to be a recognition limit, it was achieved at 10dB SNR point with LES, while at 30dB with NLES. This 20dB of SNR difference indicates Lombard effect should be considered in real world assessment test. The type of noises didn't affect performance of recognizers in out tests. ANOVA analysis, in evaluating several kinds of recognizers, showed every assessment item affecting the recognition performance could be quantified.

A TC-16ADPSK scheme for transmitting different kinds of information simultaneously is proposed in this paper. The scheme is designed for simultaneously transmitting two kinds of Information on one channel. In signal mapping, a data of two kinds of information is used to phase modulation on Star-16APSK constellation and the other to amplitude modulation. In detection, each data independently recovers from mixing signal on each detector Therefore, we can transmit two kinds of Information on one channel can be transmitted efficiently. BER performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed on AWGN channel and Rayleigh fading channels on a computer with Matlab communication toolbox. On same SNR, the Gray code mapping has more 0.5-1.5dB coding gains than Ungerboeck's code mapping gains.

In this paper, a VCDRO(Voltage Control Dielectirc Resonator Oscillator) for signal source of doppler radar system is designed and fabricated. The proposed VCDRO is made with new tuning mechanism using CPW line. The coplanar waveguide of $\lambda_{g}$/2 in length with varactor diode is placed on the metallization side under the dielectric resonator and coupled to it. Tuning varactor diode is mounted at one end of the CPW. The proposed circuit tuned by a CPW allows one more varactor diode to be mounted on the optimized CPW, where a greater sensitivity of frequency tuning is needed. With varying the biasing voltage for the varactor diode from 0 V to 15 V, output frequency tuning of 12 MHz is obtained. The PLDRO exhibits output power of 16.5 dBm with phase noise in the phase locked state characteristic of -115 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, -105 dBc/Hz at the 10 kHz, and -102 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz offset from 10.525 GHz , respectively.
