Machines and facilities are physically or chemically degenerated by continuous usage. The representative type of the degeneration is the wearing of tools, which results in the process mean shift. According to the increasing wear level, non-conforming products cost and quality loss cost are increasing simultaneously. Therefore, a preventive maintenance is necessary at some point. The problem of determining the maintenance period (or wear limit) which minimizes the total cost is called the 'process mean shift problem'. The total cost includes three items: maintenance cost (or adjustment cost), non-conforming cost due to the non-conforming products, and quality loss cost due to the difference between the process target value and the product characteristic value among the conforming products. In this study, we set the production volume as a decreasing function rather than a constant. Also we treat the process variance as a function to the increasing wear rather than a constant. To the quality loss function, we adopted the Cpm+, which is the left and right asymmetric process capability index based on the process target value. These can more reflect the production site. In this study, we presented a more extensive maintenance model compared to previous studies, by integrating the items mentioned above. The objective equation of this model is the total cost per unit wear. The determining variables are the wear limit and the initial process setting position that minimize the objective equation.

In underwater acoustic communication, the transmitted signals are severely influenced by the reflections from both the sea surface and the sea bottom. As very large reflection signals from these boundaries cause an inter-symbol interference (ISI) effect, the communication quality worsens. A channel estimation-based equalizer is usually adopted to compensate for the reflected signals under the acoustic communication channel. In this study, a feed-forward equalizer (FFE) with the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm was applied to a quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) transmission system. Two different types of equalizers were adopted in the QPSK system, namely a real-coefficient equalizer and a complex-coefficient equalizer. The performance of the complex-coefficient equalizer was better than that of two real-coefficient equalizers. Therefore, a Hilbert transform was applied to the real-coefficient binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) system to obtain a complex-coefficient BPSK system. Consequently, we obtained better results than those of a real-coefficient equalizer.

In wireless communications, knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio is required in diverse communication applications. In this paper, we derive the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator in the data-aided and non-data-aided schemes for determining the optimal shrinkage factor. The shrinkage factor is usually the constant that is multiplied by the unbiased estimate and it increases the bias slightly while considerably decreasing the variance so that the overall mean squared error decreases. The closed-form biased estimators for binary-phase-shift-keying and quadrature phase-shift-keying systems are then obtained. Simulation results show that the mean squared error of the proposed method is lower than that of the maximum likelihood method for low and moderate signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

In this paper, a new face tracking algorithm is proposed. The CamShift (Continuously adaptive mean SHIFT) algorithm shows unstable tracking when there exist objects with similar color to that of face in the background. This drawback of the CamShift is resolved by the proposed algorithm using Kinect's pixel-by-pixel depth information and the skin detection method to extract candidate skin regions in HSV color space. Additionally, even when the target face is disappeared, or occluded, the proposed algorithm makes it robust to this occlusion by the feature point matching. Through experimental results, it is shown that the proposed algorithm is superior in tracking performance to that of existing TLD (Tracking-Learning-Detection) algorithm, and offers faster processing speed. Also, it overcomes all the existing shortfalls of CamShift with almost comparable processing time.

In this article, we study expansiveness of the shift maps on orbital inverse limit spaces which consist of two cross bonding mappings. On orbital inverse limit systems, horizontal directions express inverse limit systems and vertical directions mean orbits based on horizontal axes. We characterize the c-expansiveness of functions on orbital spaces. We also prove that the c-expansiveness of the functions is equivalent to the expansiveness of the shift maps on orbital inverse limit spaces.

본 논문에서는 MPEG 의 3차원 비디오 시스템의 표준 깊이정보 맵에 대한 효율적인 부호화를 위하여 전처리 방법을 제안한다. 현재 3차원 비디오 부호화(3DVC)에 대한 표준화가 진행 중에 있지만 아직 깊이정보 맵의 부호화 방법에 대한 표준이 확정되지 않은 상태이다. 제안하는 기법에서는 우선, 입력된 깊이정보 맵에 대하여 원래의 히스토그램 분포를 가우시안 혼합모델(GMM)기반의 EM 군집화 기법에 의한 방법으로 분리 후, 분리된 히스토그램을 기반으로 깊이정보 맵을 여러 개의 영상으로 분리한다. 그 후 분리된 각각의 영상을 배경과 객체에 따라 다른 조건의 mean shift filter로 필터링한다. 결과적으로 영상내의 각 영역 경계는 최대한 살리면서 영역내의 화소 값에 대해서는 평균 연산을 취하여 부호화시 효율을 극대화 하고자 하였다. 실험조건은 $1024{\times}768$ 영상에 대해서 50 프레임으로 H.264/AVC base 프로파일로 부호화를 진행하였다. 최종 실험결과 bit rate는 대략 23% ~ 26% 정도 감소하고 부호화 시간도 다소 줄어드는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

*In this paper, we propose a real-time face tracking system using an adaptive face detector and a tracking algorithm. An image is divided into the regions of background and face candidate by a real-time updated skin color identifying system in order to accurately detect facial features. The facial characteristics are extracted using the five types of simple Haar-like features. The extracted features are reinterpreted by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and the interpreted principal components are processed by Support Vector Machine (SVM) that classifies into facial and non-facial areas. The movement of the face is traced by Kalman filter and Mean shift, which use the static information of the detected faces and the differences between previous and current frames. The proposed system identifies the initial skin color and updates it through a real-time color detecting system. A similar background color can be removed by updating the skin color. Also, the performance increases up to 20% when the background color is reduced in comparison to extracting features from the entire region. The increased detection rate and speed are acquired by the usage of Kalman filter and Mean shift.

This paper proposes a novel face detection method that finds tiny faces located at a long range even with low-resolution input images captured by a mobile robot. The proposed approach can locate extremely small-sized face regions of $12{\times}12$ pixels. We solve a tiny face detection problem by organizing a system that consists of multiple detectors including a mean-shift color tracker, short- and long-rage face detectors, and an omega shape detector. The proposed method adopts the long-range face detector that is well trained enough to detect tiny faces at a long range, and limiting its operation to only within a search region that is automatically determined by the mean-shift color tracker and the omega shape detector. By focusing on limiting the face search region as much as possible, the proposed method can accurately detect tiny faces at a long distance even with a low-resolution image, and decrease false positives sharply. According to the experimental results on realistic databases, the performance of the proposed approach is at a sufficiently practical level for various robot applications such as face recognition of non-cooperative users, human-following, and gesture recognition for long-range interaction.

오늘날 컴퓨터의 발달과 인터넷의 확산으로 멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 보급이 급격히 확대되고 있으며, 이들 컨텐츠에는 원거리 화상회의, 감시시스템, 주문형 비디오(VOD), 주문형 뉴스(NOD), 디지털 편집 시스템 등 동영상이 포함되어 있다. 이처럼 동영상은 정보교환과 정보표현의 매개물로서 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 이와 같은 동영상은 노이즈나 전송과정 중 발생하는 문제 등으로 인해 항상 좋은 품질을 보장되지 않는다. 이런 훼손된 영상을 원영상으로 복원하거나 사용자가 제거 혹은 복원하고자 하는 영역을 지정 처리함으로서 다양한 정보를 획득할 수 있다. 일반적으로 pc에서 사용되어지는 대부분의 동영상은 $15fps{\sim}30fps$이다. 대부분의 동영상 편집 기술은 각각의 frame을 추출하여 수동적으로 처리하므로 비용과 시간이 많이 든다. 이런 단점을 해결하기 위해 여러 방법이 기존에 시도되고 있다. 제거 혹은 복원하고자 하는 영역을 전 frame에서 처리하기 위해 움직임 검출 및 추적기법이 사용되며, 제거 혹은 복원하기 위해 median filtering, image inpainting 처리 방법들이 있다. 본 연구에서는 사용자에 의해 미리 정의된 바운딩 박스내의 객체를 추적하여 객체의 중심값을 찾는 mean-shift algorithm을 이용하여 움직이는 객체를 추적하였고 image Inpainting algorithm을 이용하여 훼손된 영역을 복원하거나 제거하고자 하는 객체를 제거하였다.
