In this paper, we propose a number of blind equalization approaches for time-varying andmulti-path channels. The approaches employ cost reference particle filter (CRPF) as the symbol estimator, and additionally employ either least mean squares algorithm, recursive least squares algorithm, or $H{\infty}$ filter (HF) as a channel estimator such that they are jointly employed for the strategy of "Rao-Blackwellization," or equally called "mixture filtering." The novel feature of the proposed approaches is that the blind equalization is performed based on direct channel estimation with unknown noise statistics of the received signals and channel state system while the channel is not directly estimated in the conventional method, and the noise information if known in similar Kalman mixture filtering approach. Simulation results show that the proposed approaches estimate the transmitted symbols and time-varying channel very effectively, and outperform the previously proposed approach which requires the noise information in its application.

가우스 혼합 모델-은닉 마코프 모델(Gaussian Mixture Model-Hidden Markov Model, GMM-HMM)을 이용하는 전통적인 음성인식 시스템에서는, 극점 필터링 기반의 켑스트럼 특징 정규화 방식이 잡음 환경에서 짧은 발화의 인식 성능을 향상시키는데 효과적이었다. 본 논문에서는 심층신경망(Deep Neural Network, DNN)을 이용하는 최신의 음성인식 시스템에서도 이 방식의 유용성이 있는지 검토한다. AURORA 2 DB에 대한 실험 결과, 특히 훈련 및 테스트 환경 사이의 불일치가 클 때에, 극점 필터링 기반의 켑스트럼 평균 분산 정규화 방식이 극점 필터링을 사용하지 않는 방식에 비해 매우 짧은 발화의 인식 성능을 개선시킴을 보여 준다.

본 논문에서는 인터넷 및 인터넷 저장 공간에 제한없이 유통되고 있는 유해동영상을 필터링하기 위해 유해동영상에 포함된 특정 소리를 이용한 유해 동영상 필터링 시스템을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 소리의 특성을 잘 표현할 수 있는 Gaussian Mixture Model을 이용하였으며, 필터링 대상 데이터와 소리모델과의 유사도를 계산하기위해 프레임단위 유사도 추정을 이용하였다. 또, 실시간 처리를 위하여 비교대상 데이터의 수를 줄임으로서 실시간 처리가 가능한 프루닝 방법을 적용하였으며, 고정도의 구별 성능을 위하여 기존 화자식별에서 우수한 성능을 보였던 MWMR 방법을 적용하였다. 식별실험결과, 일반 영상과 유해 영상의 기준인 전체프레임 대비 유사도 높은 프레임의 비를 50%로 설정한 경우, 판별 오류율은 6.06%였으며, 프레임 비의 기준이 60%인 경우, 오류율은 3.03%를 나타내어 소리를 이용한 유해동영상 필터링 시스템이 효과적으로 일반영상과 유해영상을 구별할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Images are unavoidably contaminated with different types of noise during the processes of image acquisition and transmission. The main forms of noise are impulse noise (is also called salt and pepper noise) and Gaussian noise. In this paper, an effective method of removing mixed noise from images is proposed. In general, different types of denoising methods are designed for different types of noise; for example, the median filter displays good performance in removing impulse noise, and the wavelet denoising algorithm displays good performance in removing Gaussian noise. However, images are affected by more than one type of noise in many cases. To reduce both impulse noise and Gaussian noise, this paper proposes a denoising method that combines adaptive median filtering (AMF) based on impulse noise detection with the wavelet threshold denoising method based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves much better denoising performance than the median filter or the wavelet denoising method for images contaminated with mixed noise.

An experimental study on oil absorbent was conducted to investigate the feasibility of utilizing absorbents in oil separation from water-oil mixture for spilt oil recovery. Experiments included investigations of absorptivity and filtering performance of a commercial oil absorbent for different diesel oil concentrations. The measured average absorptivity of the absorbent was above 92% for oil concentrations, 5, 10, 15vo1%, that shows good absorbing performance. Filtering the oil-water mixture, however, was too slow to be used for oil separation. An absorbent baffle system was suggested for oil separation which collects oil panicles by increasing contact between the absorbent and oil particles.

In Bayesian multi-target tracking, the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter is a state-of-the-art filter based on the methodology of random finite set which is a conjugate prior composed of Poisson point process (PPP) and multi-Bernoulli mixture (MBM). In order to improve the random finite set-based filter utilized in multi-target tracking of sensor scanning, this paper introduces the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture filter into time-matching Bayesian filtering framework and derive a tractable and principled method, namely: the time-matching Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (TM-PMBM) filter. We also provide the Gaussian mixture implementation of the TM-PMBM filter for linear-Gaussian dynamic and measurement models. Subsequently, we compare the performance of the TM-PMBM filter with other RFS filters based on time-matching method with different birth models under directional continuous scanning and out-of-order discontinuous scanning. The results of simulation demonstrate that the proposed filter not only can effectively reduce the influence of sampling time diversity, but also improve the estimated accuracy of target state along with cardinality.

Constructed wetlands were typically cost less to build and operate, and require less energy than standard mechanical treatment technology but they have similar performance to centralized wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, they were constructed especially many in rural areas, where are small villages but not industries. Accordingly, plantless column tests were performed to investigate the possibility on using zeolite as a filter medium of constructed wetland for the wastewater treatment. $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency was 94.63% at hydraulic load $314L/m^2{\cdot}d$ and filtering hight 100cm filled with a zeolite mixture. This zeolite mixture consisted of 1 : 1 by volume of a zeolite in the diameter range of 0.5 to 1mm to a zeolite in the diameter range of 1 to 3mm. According, hydraulic load $314L/m^2{\cdot}d$ was considered as optimal. Three zeolite mixture were used to determine the optimal mixing ratio by volume of a zeolite(A) in the diameter range of 0.5 to 1mm to a zeolite(B) in the diameter range of 1 to 3mm diameter. 1 : 3, 1 : 1 and only B in A to B by volume were tested at hydraulic load $314L/m^2{\cdot}d$ and filtering hight 100cm. $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency was more than 89% at mixing ratios of 1 : 3 and 1 : 1 in A to B. Removal efficiency was lower at the column filled with only B. Removal efficiency was better at filter medium filled with mixing ratio 1 : 1 in A to B than with the other mixing ratios. Thus, it was found that the mixture of mixing ratio 1 : 1 in A to B was appropriate for filter medium of constructed wetland. Removal efficiency was higher in down-flow than in up-flow, and $COD_{cr}$ and BOD were removed best in 20cm filter height near feeding area.

본 논문에서는 시변가산유색잡음에 오염된 음성신호의 향상을 위한 MIMM(mixture interacting multiple model) 알고리즘을 제안 한다. 제안된 방법에서 음성신호는 혼합 은닉필터모델(hidden filter model: HFM)로 모델링되며, 잡음신호는 하나의 은닉필터로 모델링 된다. MIMM 알고리즘은 혼합 은닉필터모델에 의한 다중 Kalman 필터링에 기초한 회귀계산이기 때문에 계산량이 많아, Kalman 필터링 식의 구조적 측면에서 효율적인 계산이 가능하도록 알고리즘을 구현했다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 결과 [4,5]에 비하여 성능향상이 이루어 졌음을 보여 준다.

In this paper, a new decomposition method of the interference EMG signal using MAMDF filtering and digital signal processor. The efficient software and hardware signal processing techniques are employed. The MAMDF filter is employed in order to estimate the presence and likely location of the respective templates which may include in the observed mixture, and high-resolution waveform alignment is employed in order to provide the optimal combination set and time delays of the selected templates. The TMS320C25 digital signal processor chip is employed in order to execute the intensive calculation part of the software. The method is verified through a simulation with real templates which are obtain ed from needle EMG. As a result, the proposed method provides an overall speed improvement of 32-40 times.

Object segmentation is a challenging task in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, we present a visual attention based segmentation method to segment small sized interesting objects in natural images. Different from the traditional methods, we first search the region of interest by using our novel saliency-based method, which is mainly based on band-pass filtering, to obtain the appropriate frequency. Secondly, we applied the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to locate the object region. By incorporating the visual attention analysis into object segmentation, our proposed approach is able to narrow the search region for object segmentation, so that the accuracy is increased and the computational complexity is reduced. The experimental results indicate that our proposed approach is efficient for object segmentation in natural images, especially for small objects. Our proposed method significantly outperforms traditional GMM based segmentation.
