The paper presents a new global maximum search method for multimodal unknown functions of two variables. The search method is composed of two stages and sequentially samples the candidate point in a subdomain selected using a priority function in each stage. The search domain is auto-similarly divided into triangular subdomains, or cells, during the search process. A measure of accuracy of local maximum search is introduced to check if a local search has converged to a specified accuracy or the maximum of a local peak cannot be the global maximum. A criterion for switching from the first to the second stage, is proposed using a ratio of the observed peak width to the largest cell in the domain. By numerical simulations, the required number of trials is evaluated for some function models with different peak parameters, and the switching criterion is optimally determined. The results show that the proposed method obtains global maximum points with certainty and saves largely computation time even for functions with extremely steep peaks.

In a hidden Markov model-based speech synthesis system using a two-band excitation model, a maximum voiced frequency (MVF) is the most important feature as an excitation parameter because the synthetic speech quality depends on the MVF. This paper proposes an enhanced MVF estimation scheme based on a peak picking method. In the proposed scheme, both local peaks and peak lobes are picked from the spectrum of a linear predictive residual signal. The average of the normalized distances of local peaks and peak lobes is calculated and utilized as a feature to estimate an MVF. Experimental results of both objective and subjective tests show that the proposed scheme improves the synthetic speech quality compared with that of a conventional one in a mobile device as well as a PC environment.

In the two-band excitation (TBE) model, maximum voiced frequency (MVF) is the most important feature of the excitation parameter because the synthetic speech quality depends on MVF. Thus, this paper proposes an enhanced MVF estimation scheme based on the peak picking method. In the proposed scheme, the local peak and the peak lobe are picked from the spectrum of a linear predictive residual signal. The normalized distance between neighboring peak lobes is calculated and utilized as a feature to estimate MVF. Experimental results of both objective and subjective tests show that the proposed scheme improves synthetic speech quality compared with that of the conventional one.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.16e 초기 레인징을 위한 타이밍 옵셋 추정 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 연구에서는 수신 신호와 국부 (local) 신호의 상호 상관값만을 이용하여 타이밍 옵셋을 추정하였으나, 본 논문에서는 레인징 신호가 반복하여 전송된다는 특성을 이용하여 추가적인 상호 상관을 구하여 누적함으로써 상호 상관 함수의 main peak과 side peak의 전력 차이를 증가시킨다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 제안한 기법이 기존의 기법에 비해 우수한 타이밍 옵셋 추정 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

An estimation method for the characteristic parameters in the low frequency signal is proposed in this paper. A low frequency signal is assumed to be modulated or distorted by high frequency terms. The algorithm proposed in this paper is designed to select set of local maximums in a successive manner, hence it is denoted as the iterative peak picking(IPP) algorithm. The IPP algorithm is operating in the time domain and is using only the comparison operation between two neighboring samples. Therefore, its computational complexity is very low and the delay caused by the computation is negligible, which make the real-time operation possible with economic hardware. The proposed algorithm is verified on the pitch estimation of speech signal and blood pulse estimation.

In this study, a particle image velocimetry (PIV)-based pressure estimation method was investigated, with application to the wave-in-deck loading phenomenon. An experimental study was performed in a two-dimensional wave tank using a fixed deck structure under a focused wave, obtaining local pressures by pressure sensors, global loads by load cells, and instantaneous velocity fields using the PIV measurement technique. The PIV-based pressure estimation method was applied using the Euler equation as the governing equation, and the proper time step for the wave impact pressure was studied using the normalized root-mean-square deviation. The pressure estimation method showed good agreement for the local impact pressure in comparison with the measured pressure by the pressure sensors. However, some differences were observed in the peak pressure due to the limitations of the Euler equation and the sampling rate of the measurement system. Using the estimation method, the pressure fields during wave-in-deck loading were determined in the study, with an analysis of the mechanism of impact and negative pressure occurrence.

1비트 변환 (one-bit transform) 및 2비트 변환 (two-bit transform)을 이용하는 이진 블록 매칭 움직임 예측 (motion estimation) 방법은 전역 탐색 (full search) 움직임 예측 방법에 비해 블록 매칭 연산의 복잡도를 감소시키지만 PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio)성능 저하를 야기한다. 이러한 이진 블록 매칭 움직임 예측 방법의 정확도를 개선하기 위해 조건부 국부 탐색 (conditional localsearch)이 더해져 보완된 1비트 변환 (modified one-bit transform) 및 보완된 2비트 변환 (modified two-bit transform) 방법이 제안되었다. 그러나 이와 같이 추가적인 국부 탐색은 움직임이 빠른 영상에 대한 $16{\times}16$ 블록 크기의 움직임 예측에 있어서 많은 수의 추가적인 탐색을 필요로 한다. 본 논문은 기존의 조건부 국부 탐색 방법 대신 탐색 영역내의 각 후보 블록들의 (candidate blocks) NNMP(Number of Non-Matching Points)를 기반으로 한 효율적인 탐색 방법을 제안한다. NNMP 기반 탐색 방법을 통하여 작은 NNMP 값을 가지는 후보 블록들을 쉽게 탐색하여 최종 움직임 벡터(motion vector)를 효율적으로 찾을 수 있다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 알고리듬이 기존의 방법들보다 복잡도 및 정확도 측면에서 좋은 성능을 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this work is to compare the local fitting and global fitting approaches while applying regression model to the PTT-BP data for the prediction of exercise blood pressures. We used linear and nonlinear regression models to represent the PTT-BP relationship during exercise. PTT-BP data were acquired both under resting state and also after cycling exercise with several load conditions. PTT was calculated as the time between R-peak of ECG and the peak of differential photo-plethysmogram. For the identification of the regression models, we used local fitting which used only the resting state data and global fitting which used the whole region of data including exercise BP. The results showed that the global fitting was superior to the local fitting in terms of the coefficient of determination and the RMS (root mean square) error between the experimental and estimated BP. The nonlinear regression model which used global fitting showed slightly better performance than the linear one (no significant difference). We confirmed that the wide-range of data is required for the regression model to appropriately predict the exercise BP.

This study focuses on the comparison of measured data from 6-DOF motion sensor and strain gauge installed in the IBRV ARAON during 2015 summer voyage in the Arctic. Procedures to calculate the global ice load from MotionPak II inertial measurement system and the local load from stain gauge system are discussed. The ship's speed and peak load are determined in the concept of an ice collision "event". It is found that the peak values in the global ice calculated form whole ship motion analysis fall in the range of 1.5~3 times of the local ice load based in strain gauge measurement.

This paper presents a simple method of rotational motion estimation and correction for roll axis stabilization of an image. The scheme first computes the rotation center by taking least squares of selected local velocity vectors, and the rotational angle is found from special subset of motion vectors. Roll motion correction is then performed by the nearest neighbor interpolation technique. To show the effectiveness of our approach, the synthetic and real images are evaluated, resulting in better performance than the previous ones.
