Researchers have recently shown an increased interest in estimating the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of wideband noncircular sources, but existing studies have been restricted to subspace-based methods. An off-grid sparse recovery-based algorithm is proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy of existing algorithms in low signal-to-noise ratio situations. The covariance and pseudo covariance matrices can be jointly represented subject to block sparsity constraints by taking advantage of the joint sparsity between signal components and bias. Furthermore, the estimation problem is transformed into a single measurement vector problem utilizing the focused operation, resulting in a significant reduction in computational complexity. The proposed algorithm's error threshold and the Cramer-Rao bound for wideband noncircular DOA estimation are deduced in detail. The proposed algorithm's effectiveness and feasibility are demonstrated by simulation results.

In this research, we developed an efficient real-time human exercise pose estimation system using multiple Kinects. The main objective of this system is to measure and recognize the user's posture (such as knee curl or lunge) more accurately by employing Kinects on the front and the sides. Especially it is designed as an extensible and modular method which enables to support various additional postures in the future. This system is configured as multiple clients and the Unity3D server. The client processes Kinect skeleton data and send to the server. The server performs the multiple-Kinect calibration process and then applies the pose estimation algorithm based on the Kinect-based posture recognition model using feature extractions and the weighted averaging of feature values for different Kinects. This paper presents the design and implementation of the human exercise pose estimation system using multiple Kinects and also describes how to build and execute an interactive Unity3D exergame.

Area of software measurement is active more than thirty years. There is a huge collection of researches but still no concrete software development effort, duration and cost estimation model. The data sets used to conduct previous studies in the duration estimation model are often small and not too recent, these types of models should not be apply in recent projects that have complex architecture and various development environment. Therefore, Oligny et al. presents empirical models that predict software project duration in accordance with project platform based on project effort using the log data transformation. These models are based on the analysis of 396 project data provided by release 4 of the ISBSG Benchmark. Applying Oligny et al.'s models to 534 project data provided release 6 of the ISBSG Benchmark, the project duration is affected by development type more than development platform. Therefore, This paper presents the model of duration estimation according to development type. This paper proves the duration is more affected by development type than development platform. And, The model according to development type is more adequate for duration estimation.

In this paper, we suggest a method of realtime confidence interval estimation to detect abnormal states of sensor data. For realtime confidence interval estimation, the mean square errors of the exponential smoothing method and moving average method, two of the time series analysis method, where compared, and the moving average method with less errors was applied. When the sensor data passes the bounds of the confidence interval estimation, the administrator is notified through alarming. As the suggested method is for realtime anomaly detection in a ship, an Android terminal was adopted for better communication between the wireless sensor network and users. For safe navigation, an administrator can make decisions promptly and accurately upon emergency situation in a ship by referring to the anomaly detection information through realtime confidence interval estimation.

MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) radar is an emerging radar technology for its numerous advantages. However, in the electric warfare viewpoint, MIMO radar is a new developed radar technology for that existing parameter estimation cannot applied and a new radar parameter estimation based on the characteristics of MIMO radar is desired. In this paper, we propose a blind estimation scheme for the number of orthogonal waveforms of a uniform linear array(ULA) MIMO radar using minimum two electronic sensors.

In this paper, an improved method of estimating static source location is proposed based on the direct position determination(DPD) method, which estimates a source position directly using received signals. When the source position is estimated using the conventional DPD method, the estimation accuracy and error depend on a pair of receivers: a reference receiver and one of the multiple moving receivers. Based on this, the weighting values of the estimating source location were obtained using the covariance matrix for the pair of receivers($S_1$, $S_{2i}$) and applied to the DPD algorithm. Finally, the source position was estimated using the proposed DPD algorithm, and it was verified that the estimation accuracy improved, compared to the conventional DPD algorithm.

While graphics processing units (GPUs) can be used to improve the performance of real-time embedded applications that require high throughput, it is challenging to estimate the worst-case execution time (WCET) of GPU programs, because modern GPUs are designed for improving the average-case performance rather than time predictability. In this paper, a reordering framework is proposed to regulate the access to the GPU data cache, which helps to improve the accuracy of the estimation of GPU L1 data cache miss rate with low performance overhead. Also, with the improved cache miss rate estimation, tighter WCET estimations can be achieved for GPU programs.

In this paper, we present a fast motion estimation algorithm to reduce the computations of block matching algorithm for motion estimation in video coding. The proposed algorithm is based on Multi-level Successive Elimination Algorithm and Efficient Multi-level Successive Elimination Algorithms. The best estimate of the motion vectors can be obtained by hierarchical search point sampling and thus the proposed algorithm can decrease the number of matching evaluations that require very intensive computations. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was verified by experimental results.

This article introduces a method for estimating the conditional hazard function of a real-valued response variable based on a functional variable. The method uses local linear estimation of the conditional density and cumulative distribution function and is applied to a functional stationary ergodic process where the explanatory variable is in a semi-metric space and the response is a scalar value. We also examine the uniform almost complete convergence of this estimation technique.
