  • 최근 방위 산업에서는 전시상황에서 병사의 전투력 및 생존성 증대를 위하여 지하 공간, 좁은 통로등에서 적에게 노출되지 않으며 정찰임무를 수행할 수 있는 소형 생체 모방 로봇의 수요가 늘어나고 있다. 특히 소형생체 모방 로봇에 사용 가능한 생체모방 영상 센서에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그중 복안영상센서는 작은 크기, 적은 수차, 넓은 화각 등의 장점을 갖으며, 복안영상센서를 통해 출력된 복안 영상을 이용해 깊이 추정, HDR 등을 구현 하여 다양한 임무에서 활용 가능하다. 다만 복안영상은 작은 렌즈 크기와 렌즈의 구조로 인하여 영상의 품질이 저하되는 현상이 발생한다. 특히 복안영상으로 출력된 각 Sub-Aperture 이미지를 융합 시 이미지 품질이 많이 저하된다. 본 논문은 이미지 융합 시 이미지의 품질이 저하되는 문제를 극복하기 위하여 여러 이미지 개선 기능과 생성 신경망의 한 종류인 ESRGAN를 사용하여 복안영상 품질 향상 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 이미지 전처리부, 이미지 융합부, 이미지 개선 부로 구성된다. 제안한 알고리즘을 복안 영상에 적용하면 영상 품질을 높힐 수 있어, 복안 영상을 이용한 다양한 연구에 활용될 수 있다.

  • The work describes an assessment of the major air pollutants, $NO_2$, $SO_2$, CO, $O_3$, $NH_3$, coarse and fine particulate matter ($PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$) in ambient air in and around a 3 million tonne Petroleum Refinery and the possible impacts on a pristine area marked by the presence of the world-famous Kajiranga National Park, a world heritage site and habitat for the most number of one-horned rhinos in the world. The Refinery is at an aerial distance of 20-25 km from the wildlife habitat. The assessment is based on regular monitoring at four stations around the Refinery and one station near the National Park. Heavy rains during June to August influence the pollutant concentrations while at other times of the year, large traffic volume adds to the pollutant concentrations that peak during November to March, the dry months of the year. Correlation analysis by scatter technique is utilised to obtain the enhancement ratios to predict the variations in the concentrations of the pollutants and their spatial distribution. Computation of air quality index (AQI) indicates that the coarse and the fine particulates in the ambient air could be a major hazard to wildlife in the area.

  • In this paper, we propose a new method to improve low light image. In order to improve the image quality of a night image with a moving object as much as the quality of a daytime image, the following tasks were performed. Firstly, we reduce the noisy of the input night image and improve the night image by the tone mapping method. Secondly, we segment the input night image into a foreground with motion and a background without motion. The motion is detected using both the difference between the current frame and the previous frame and the difference between the current frame and the night background image. The background region of the night image takes pixels from corresponding positions in the daytime image. The foreground regions of the night image take the pixels from the corresponding positions of the image which is improved by the tone mapping method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the visual quality more clearly than the existing methods.

  • The fine-tuned neural network (NN) model for a whole temporal portion in a video does not always yield the best quality (e.g., PSNR) performance over all regions of each frame in the temporal period. For certain regions (usually homogeneous regions) in a frame for super-resolution (SR), even a simple bicubic interpolation method may yield better PSNR performance than the fine-tuned NN model. When there are multiple NN models available at the receivers where each NN model is trained for a group of images having a specific category of image characteristics, the performance of Quality enhancement can be improved by selectively applying an appropriate NN model for each image region according to its image characteristic category to which the NN model was dedicatedly trained. In this case, it is necessary to signal which NN model is applied for each region. This is very advantageous for image restoration and quality enhancement (IRQE) applications at user terminals with limited computing capabilities.

  • Quality system management adapted by small and medium enterprises in Kangwon province to enhance the competitiveness was studied. Variance analysis on several questionnaire answers was performed. Motives for acquiring the accreditation, such as product export, adjustment to international trend, enhancement of brand/product recognition, CEO's mind change, and management innovation, have been changed significantly among business types. Mind changes after the accreditations were setting company's first priority on quality, enhanced recognition on compliance of in-house standards and regulations, employee's performance with the recognition of quality. Amongst service problems to maintain the ace reditations were difficulties in maintaining the recognition of the company's finality management, labor increase to maintain the ISO 9000 enforcement team, and financial burden to keep the accreditation. Quality recognition after the accreditations was significantly improved in setting company's first priority on quality, enhanced recognition on compliance of in-house standards and regulations, employee's performance with the recognition of quality.

  • 스마트폰과 같은 무선 기기의 보급률이 높아지면서 오디오 및 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 이용하는 사용자가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 또한 고속 네트워크 환경이 갖추어 짐에 따라 보다 나은 서비스 품질(QoS)에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 무선 환경에서는 불안정한 전송 채널로 인해 패킷의 손실이 빈번하게 발생하기 때문에, Scalable Video Coding (SVC) 영상 부호화 기법을 통하여 네트워크를 보다 더 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. SVC 기법에서는 기본계층과 상위계층으로 부호화 정보를 구분하는데, 기본계층은 영상의 복원에 있어서 필수적인 저주파 성분을 형성하기 때문에 신뢰성 있는 전송이 필수적이다. 또한 상위계층은 고주파 성분을 형성하며 성공적인 수신 데이터의 양에 비례하여 비디오의 품질이 향상되기 때문에 채널 상황이 허용하는 한도 내에서 처리량(Throughput)을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 무조건적인 처리량의 향상보다는 SVC 비디오의 특징을 고려하여 평균 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 듀얼-채널 활용 기법을 제안한다. 즉, 기본계층에 대해서는 중복 전송방식을 통해 전송의 신뢰성을 향상시키고, 상위계층에 대해서는 분배 전송 방식을 통해 전송 속도 및 처리량을 향상시켰다. 그 결과, 무선 이동환경에서 보다 고수준의 비디오 서비스 제공이 가능해짐을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

  • Two-microphone binary mask speech enhancement (2mBMSE) has been of particular interest in recent literature and has shown promising results. Current 2mBMSE systems rely on spatial cues of speech and noise sources. Although these cues are helpful for directional noise sources, they lose their efficiency in diffuse noise fields. We propose a new system that is effective in both directional and diffuse noise conditions. The system exploits two features. The first determines whether a given time-frequency (T-F) unit of the input spectrum is dominated by a diffuse or directional source. A diffuse signal is certainly a noise signal, but a directional signal could correspond to a noise or speech source. The second feature discriminates between T-F units dominated by speech or directional noise signals. Speech enhancement is performed using a binary mask, calculated based on the proposed features. In both directional and diffuse noise fields, the proposed system segregates speech T-F units with hit rates above 85%. It outperforms previous solutions in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and perceptual evaluation of speech quality improvement, especially in diffuse noise conditions.
