In the speech system, for example hearing aid as well as speech communication, speech quality is degraded by environmental noise. In this study, to enhance the speech quality which is degraded by environmental speech, we proposed an algorithm to reduce the noise and reinforce the speech. The minima controlled recursive averaging (MCRA) algorithm is used to estimate the noise spectrum and spectral weighting factor is used to reduce the noise. And partial masking effect which is one of the human hearing properties is introduced to reinforce the speech. Then we compared the waveform, spectrogram, Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) and segmental Signal to Noise Ratio (segSNR) between original speech, noisy speech, noise reduced speech and enhanced speech by proposed method. As a result, enhanced speech by proposed method is reinforced in high frequency which is degraded by noise, and PESQ, segSNR is enhanced. It means that the speech quality is enhanced.

This study is to find out primary factors through the punch list in the large scale apartment housing complex, to prevent repeatedly occurring defects of construction and to gain quality management. The following are the findings of the research. (1) The positive strengthening of supervision for the workers can contribute to prevent defects of apartment construction and make better quality of the construction. (2) A solution should be made for the poor of surface join and the damage of work element showing a lot in the apart construction, which prevent defects and improve construction quality. (3) Indirect factors such as negligence and carelessness of the management should be improved to advance construction quality, and the caution and control strengthening of the management should be followed. It is revealed that hitch, omission, and heedlessness come from the defects, and the shortage of skill and checking appear as indirect factors. Therefore, to get quality improvement, the enhancement of the management factors, employment of excellent workers, and enhancement of working attitude and construction management are needed.

We describe the image enhancement method of applying two spatial filters with different characteristics adaptively. An adaptive method is introduced so that sharpness enhancement is performed only in regions where the image exhibits significant dynamics, while noise reduction is achieved in smooth regions. Simulation results show that the proposed method improved the image quality.

Terahertz waves are superior to conventional X-ray or Magnetic Resonance Tomography(MRI), and the amount of information that can be transmitted is as large as thousands of times that conventional X-ray or MRI. In addition, Terahertz waves have great performance in analyzing an object which have some layered structure. By using this advantage, we can extract the letters of a page by analyzing information such as absorption amount and reflection amount by irradiating a closed book with pulses of various frequencies within gap of a terahertz wave. However, in the image of each page using the Terahertz wave might be obtained various kinds of noise and the different character occlusion region. So, to extract letters from the terahertz image, we must take the noise and occlusion region away. We have been working to enhancement the image quality in various ways, and keep on studying de-noising processing for enhancement about the image quality and high resolution. Finally, we also keep on studying about OCR(Optical Character Recognition) technology, which based on pattern matching technique, to read letters.

수열처리법을 이용하여 저품위의 잠비아산 천연 자수정의 색상 개선을 행하였다. 수열처리 조건은 다음과 같다. 즉, 수열용매 6M-HCI, 반응온도 $300^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 30시간, 충진율 40%이었다. 이와 같은 조건에서 고품질 적자색의 자수정이 얻어졌다. ICP/AES 결과로부터 색 향상은 잠비아산 자수정의 내부에 존재하는 Fe 원소의 함량이 영향을 미치는 것을 알았다. 또한 UV-VIS-NIR분석결과 처리전 잠비아산 수정과 비교해 550nm 흡수피크가 작아짐을 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 수열처리가 잠비아산 자수정의 상업적인 가치 증가에 있어서 적합한 방법이었다.

대부분의 포탈영상이 그에 상응하는 시뮬레이터 영상을 참조 영상으로 하여 방사선치료 계획을 수행하고 있다. 이것은 선형가속기의 높은 에너지 X선으로서 얻어지는 포탈 영상의 물리적 특성 때문에, 구조적으로 대단히 불량한 포탈 영상의 개선과 잃어버린 영상 정보의 복원에 시뮬레이터 영상 자체에서의 영상정보를 이용할 수 있다는 가능성을 보여주고 있는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 최대 퍼지 엔트로피를 평가함수로 이용한 유전자 알고리듬을 사용하여 영상에서의 퍼지 영역을 자동적으로 결정하고, 그것을 멤버쉽 함수에서 적용하여 퍼지영상 개선 기법으로서 포탈 영상과 시뮬레이터 영상을 개선한 후, 잡음이 중첩된 시뮬레이터 영상들로서 연관기억장치를 학습시키고 여기에 퍼지 방법으로 개선시킨 포탈 영상을 입력하여 기존의 영상기법으로 처리된 영상보다 좋은 포탈 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

Exploration has always been an instinct of humans, and underwater life is as fascinating as it seems. So, for studying flora and fauna below water, there is a need for high-quality images. However, the underwater images tend to be of impaired quality due to various factors, which calls for improved and enhanced underwater images. There are various Histogram Equalization (HE) based techniques which could aid in solving these issues. Classifying the HE methods broadly, there is Global Histogram Equalization (GHE), Mean Brightness Preserving HE (MBPHE), Bin Modified HE (BMHE), and Local HE (LHE). Each of these HE extensions have their own pros and cons and thus, by considering them we have considered BBHE, CLAHE, BPDHE, BPDFHE, and DSIHE enhancement algorithms, which are based on Mean Brightness Preserving HE and Local HE, for this study. The performance is evaluated with non-reference performance measures like Entropy, UCIQE, UICM, and UIQM. In this study, we apply the enhancement algorithms on 300 images from the UIEB benchmark dataset and then apply the techniques of cascading fusion on the best-performing algorithms.

This paper proposes a new approach for enhancing digital images based on red channel information, which has the most analogous characteristics to invisible infrared rays. Specifically, a red channel in RGB space is used to analyze the image contents and improve the visual quality of the input images but it can cause unexpected problems, such as the over-enhancement of reddish input images. To resolve this problem, inter-channel correlations between the color channels were derived, and the weighting parameters for visually pleasant image fusion were estimated. Applying the parameters resulted in significant brightness as well as improvement in the dark and bright regions. Furthermore, simple contrast and color corrections were used to maintain the original contrast level and color tone. The main advantages of the proposed algorithm are 1) it can improve a given image considerably with a simple inter-channel correlation, 2) it can obtain a similar effect of using an extra infrared image, and 3) it is faster than other algorithms compared without artifacts including halo effects. The experimental results showed that the proposed approach could produce better natural images than the existing enhancement algorithms. Therefore, the proposed scheme can be a useful tool for improving the image quality in consumer imaging devices, such as compact cameras.

배경잡음에 강인한 음성인식을 위한 전처리기로써 음성향상 기법이 요구되고 있다. 코드북 기반의 음성향상 기법은 기존 잡음 추정 알고리즘들과 비교하여 nonstationary 배경잡음 환경에 강인하다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 코드북 정보에 의존적이기 때문에 입력신호와 상관성이 떨어지는 코드벡터의 조합을 사용할 경우 성능이 급격히 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 학습된 음성과 잡음 코드벡터를 조합하는 과정에서 입력신호와 상관성이 떨어지는 코드벡터의 조합을 제거함으로써, Log-Spectral Distortion (LSD)과 Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) 관점에서 기존 코드북 기반 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시켰다.

This study aims to develop a rational evaluation system which consists of the selection of evaluation items and the estimation of its weight for the Enhancement Program of the Quality of Life for Farmers and Fishermen and Rural Development. This system has two hierarchical steps. The first step shows the evaluation goals which are relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of the program. The second step stands for the evaluation items which have 11 sub-items such as necessity and externalization for the program, rationality of procedures, feedback and monitoring system, budgetary allocations, information activities, impacts on the program, achievements of the goals and so on. A tentative evaluation system was proposed by brainstorming and Delphi method of expert-group. Weighting values of evaluation items were calculated through pair-comparison works of expert group using stepwise matrix sheets by AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process).
