When an array receives a signal with a frequency higher than the design frequency, there is an ambiguity in beamforming due to spatial aliasing. In order to overcome this problem, Abadi proposed frequency-difference beamforming. However, there is a constraint that the minimum frequency bandwidth is required according to the value of the difference frequency. In this paper, we propose a method to find the direction of the target signal with spatial aliasing based on the frequency-wavenumber spectrum combined with Radon transform. The proposed method can estimate the direction of the target without ambiguities when the signal has nonnegligible bandwidth. We tested the algorithm by simulating a broadband signal and verified the results with the frequency-difference beamforming method using SAVEX15 (Shallow Water Acoustic Variability EXperiment 2015)'s shrimp noise data.

In this study, we showed a comparison and analysis making use of DWI(diffusion weighted image) using early diagnosis of cerebral Infarction and with the classified T2 weighted image, FLAIR images signal intensity for brain infarction period. period of cerebral infarction after the condition of a disease by ischemic stroke. To compare 3 types of image, we performed polynomial warping and affined transform for image matching. Using proposed algorithm, calculated signal intensity difference between T2WI, DWI, FLAIR and DWI. The quantification values between hand made and calculated data are almost the same. We quantified the each period and performed pseudo color mapping by comparing signal intensity each other according to previously obtained hand made data, and compared the result of this paper according to obtained quantified data to that of doctors decision. The examined mean and standard deviation for each brain infarction stage are as follows ; the means and standard deviations of signal intensity difference between DWI and T2WI for each period are $197.7{\pm}6.9$ in hyperacute, $110.2{\pm}5.4$ in acute, and $67.8{\pm}7.2$ in subacute. And the means and standard deviations of signal intensity difference between DWI and FLAIR for each period are $199.8{\pm}7.5$ in hyperacute, $115.3{\pm}8.0$ in acute, and $70.9{\pm}5.8$ in subacute. We can quantificate and decide cerebral infarction period objectively. According to this study, DWI is very exact for early diagnosis. We classified the period of infarction occurrence to analyze the region of disease and normal region in DW, T2WI, FLAIR images.

Many spoofing detection studies have been conducted to cope with the most difficult types of deception among various disturbances of GPS, such as jamming, spoofing, and meaconing. In this paper, we propose a spoofing detection scheme based on elevation masked-relative received power between GPS L1 and L2 signals in a system using a multi-band array antenna. The proposed scheme focuses on enabling spoofing to be normally detected and minimizes the possibility of false detection in an environment where false alarms may occur due to pattern distortion among elements of an array antenna. The pattern distortion weakens the GPS signal strength at low elevation. It becomes confusing to detect a spoofing signal based on the relative power difference between GPS L1 and L2, especially when GPS L2 has weak signal strength. We propose design parameters for the relative power threshold including beamforming gain, the minimum received power difference between L1 and L2, and the patch antenna gain difference between L1 and L2. In addition, in order to eliminate the weak signal strength of GPS L2 in the spoofing detection process, we propose a rotation matrix that sets the elevation mask based on platform coordinates. Array antennas generally do not have high usefulness in commercial areas where receivers are operated alone, but are considered essential in military areas where GPS receivers are used together with signal processing for beamforming in the direction of GPS satellites. Through laboratory and live sky tests using the device under test, the proposed scheme with an elevation mask detects spoofing signals well and reduces the probability of false detection relative to that without the elevation mask.

In this paper, an efficient method to find shot boundaries in the MPEG video stream data is proposed. For this purpose, we first assume that the histogram difference value(HDV) and pixel difference value(PDV) as an one dimensional signal and apply the median filter to these signals. The output of the median filter is subtracted from the original signal to produce the median filtered difference(MFD). The MFD is a criterion of shot boundary. In addition a neural network is employed and trained to find exactly cut boundary. The proposed algorithm shows that the cut boundaries are well extracted, especially in a dynamic video.

In this paper, we investigate and analyze the problems encountered in frame-based estimation of TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) using CPSP function. Spectral leakage occurring in framing of a speech signal by a rectangular window makes estimation of CPSP spectrum inaccurate. Framing with a Hamming window to reduce the spectral leakage effect distorts the signal due to the different weighting at temporally same sample, which make the TDOA estimation using CPSP function inaccurate. In this paper, we solve this problem by reducing the dynamic range of the spectrum of a speech signal with preemphasis. Experimental results confirm that the framing of pre-emphasized microphone output with a rectangular window shows higher success ratio of TDOA estimation than any other framing methods.

In this study, we proposed an algorithm which can detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient using three axis acceleration signal. Twenty hemiplegic patients were participated in an experiment on a level corridor. To evaluate the accuracy, we compared the time difference between the detected event and signal from FSR-Sensor. Consequently, the mean difference of 46.1ms was obtained and it suggests that the proposed method is effective to detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient. In future, these results could be used to evaluate the walking ability in hemiplegic patient in clinical practice.

A compact scanning confocal microscope has been constructed using a quad-detector in a CD-player. The variation of error signal on depth which obtained by a quad-detector is used in the scanning confocal microscope. Bipolar error signals, which is sensitive near a focus, give a surface following effect whiout following the surface. In the case of small depth difference, the difference of materials through the reflection signal has been identified. The image which uses reflection signal only, has been obtained with the same setup. And, the results obtained in two different way were compared and analyzed.

This paper describes the implementation of a real time fetal ECG monitoring system in which an adaptive multi-channel noise canceller is realized using the Texas Instruments TMS32020 progrmmmable ditital signal processor. An ECG signal from the electrode placed on the mother's abdomen and three ECGs from those on the chest are applied as the desired signal and the referened inputs, respectively, of the multi-channel filter. The coefficients of the filter are updated using the LMS algorithm such that the output of the multi-channel filter copies the maternal ECG embedded in the abdominal ECG. The enhanced fetal ECG is obtained by subtracting the filter output from the abdominal ECG, and the difference signal is recorded. Both off-line and on-line experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the parameters for the digital signal processing algorithms and the prototype system.

This paper introduces a compression technique for power qualify disturbance signal via discrete wavelet transform(DWT). The proposed approach is based on a previous estimation of the stationary component of power quality disturbance signal, so that it could be subtracted from the original signal in order to reduce a dynamic range of signal and generate transient events signal, which is subsequently applied to the compression technique. The compression techniques is performed through the difference signal decomposition, thresholding of wavelet coefficients, and signal reconstruction. It presents the relation between compression efficiency and threshold. It shouts that the wavelet transform leads to a power quality data compression approach with high compression efficiency, small compression error and good de-nosing effect.
