본 연구에서는 time averaging과 depth profiling기술을 음향현미경에 적용하여 5MHz 대역의 초음파 영상처리 시스템을 구성하였으며 기존의 피크값 검출기술과 상호 비교, 분석하였다. time averaging기술에서는 한 지점에서 반사된 tone burst파 전체를 디지털 오실로스코프를 통해 시간영역에서 A/D변환하고 변환된 512개 데이터들의 평균값을 취함으로써 영상을 얻을 수 있었으며, 이 기술은 시간영역에서 smoothing효과를 이용하여 산란이 심한 영역에 대한 영상을 개선시킬 수 있었다. depth profiling기술은 기준신호에 대한 반사신호의 시간 지연값을 최소 분해능 2ns로 검출함으로써 샘플의 3차원적인 실제 기하학적인 모양을 상대적인 크기로 얻을 수 있었다.

칼라 역 해프토닝(Color inverse halftoning)은 해프토닝 칼라 영상을 시각적으로 보다 자연스러운 연속계조 칼라영상으로 변환해 주는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는, 분리된 각 칼라 채널 영상에서 나타나는 해프톤 셀 패턴을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 새로운 평활화 마스크를 제안하고, 이를 칼라역 해프토닝에 활용하였다. 제안한 평활화 마스크는 기존의 평활화 마스크가 잘 제거하지 못했던 해프톤, 셀 패턴을 시각적으로 보다 자연스럽게 평활해 줄 수 있으며, 마스크의 특성을 평활화하고자 하는 채널 영상에 적합하게 조정할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 실험을 통해, 평활화된 채널 영상과 그 스펙트럼을 비교 분석함으로써 제안한 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다. 이 방법은 전자 출판, 칼라 팩스, 해프톤 영상의 압축 등의 분야에 활용될 수 있다.

공간적으로 영향을 받는 위치에서의 상호 연관성을 고려한 예측모형 중에서 크리깅 (kriging) 방법은 관측된 데이터를 보간(interpolation)하고, 부드럽게 연결(smoothing)하며, 새로운 데이터를 예측(prediction)하는 통계적 모형으로서 많이 활용되고 있다. 크리깅 모형을 적용하기 위해서는 먼저 주어진 두 위치에서의 비연관성을 나타내는 세미베리오그램 (semivariogram)의 3가지 모수(nugget, sill, range)를 추정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 전역 적 최적화 방법인 유전자 알고리즘(genetic algorithm)을 도입하여 세미베리오그램 모수들을 추정하였고, 이를 통해 강우량(rainfall)에 대한 크리깅 추정량을 산출하고 효과성을 판단하였다.

The varying coefficient regression model has gained lots of attention since it is capable to model dynamic changes of regression coefficients in many regression problems of science. In this paper we propose a varying coefficient regression model that effectively considers the errors on both input and response variables, which utilizes the kernel method in estimating the varying coefficient which is the unknown nonlinear function of smoothing variables. We provide a generalized cross validation method for choosing the hyper-parameters which affect the performance of the proposed model. The proposed method is evaluated through numerical studies.

In this paper, we propose a new technique for filling holes in triangular mesh. First, arbitrary shaped holes are detected. Second, source and target hole patches are generated through triangulation, refinement, fairing, and smoothing. Finally, the shape difference between the two patches is analyzed and a patch with enhanced features is obtained through blending between patches. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated by applying the hole filling technique to the triangular mesh model with various shaped holes.

Purpose - We study whether the bullwhip effect is prevalent among Korean firms and how the characteristics of it differ from the ones in other countries. Design/methodology/approach - We obtained quarterly financial and operational information on KOSPI-listed firms in manufacturing, wholesale, and retail industries from 2013 to 2019. We explore the variation of the bullwhip effect across firms and validate hypotheses. Findings - First, we find that for the KOSPI-listed firms, the bullwhip effect is more prevalent compared with the production smoothing. We provide additional findings by using sub-samples of manufacturing firms, wholesaling and retailing firms, big-sized firms, small- and medium-sized firms, domestic-sales intensive firms, and export intensive firms. Second, we show that in general, the bullwhip effect of Korean firms increases with the days in inventory or the demand seasonality ratio. However, the persistence of demand shock does not affect the bullwhip effect of Korean firms. Research implications or Originality - We compare our results with those in other studies that use information on the U.S. and Chinese firms. Our findings show that factors explaining the bullwhip effect across Korean firms have similarities and differences compared with firms in the U.S. and Chinese firms.

We develop a video processing method that allows the more advanced human perception oriented video coding. The proposed method necessarily reflects all influences by the rate-distortion based optimization and the human visual perception that is affected by the visual saliency, the limited space-time resolution and the regional moving history. For reflecting the human perceptual effects, we devise an online moving pattern classifier using the Hedge algorithm. Then, we embed the existing visual saliency into the proposed moving patterns so as to establish a human visual perception model. In order to realize the proposed human visual perception model, we extend the conventional foveation filtering method. Compared to the conventional foveation filter only smoothing less stimulus video signals, the developed foveation filter can locally smooth and enhance signals according to the human visual perception without causing any artifacts. Due to signal enhancement, the developed foveation filter more efficiently transfers the bandwidth saved at smoothed signals to the enhanced signals. Performance evaluation verifies that the proposed video processing method satisfies the overall video quality, while improving the perceptual quality by 12%~44%.

In scalable streaming application, there are two important knobs to tune to effectively exploit the underlying network resource and to maximize the user perceivable quality of service(QoS): layer selection and packet scheduling. In this work, we propose Semantics Aware Packet Scheduling (SAPS) algorithm to address these issues. Using packet dependency graph, SAPS algorithm selects a layer to maximize QoS. We aim at minimizing distortion in selecting layers. In inter-frame coded video streaming, minimizing packet loss does not imply maximizing QoS. In determining the packet transmission schedule, we exploit the fact that significance of each packet loss is different dependent upon its frame type and the position within group of picture(GOP). In SAPS algorithm, each packet is assigned a weight called QoS Impact Factor Transmission schedule is derived based upon weighted smoothing. In simulation experiment, we observed that QOS actually improves when packet loss becomes worse. The simulation results show that the SAPS not only maximizes user perceivable QoS but also minimizes resource requirements.

In this paper, we propose the novel approach to enhance the visual quality of the digital image with adaptively sharpening and removing the noise. Image enhancement is performed in two ways. The pixels in the high dynamics area are sharpened by the adaptive unsharp mask with the parameter, which is derived using the statistical information of the image. On the other hand, the proposed algorithm do not perform the sharpening process in the uniform area that may cause the undesired artifact due to noise amplification, rather it performs smoothing to suppress the noise in this area. The decision, which process will be applied at the pixel, is also controlled by the statistics of the pixel dynamics. The proposed algorithm enhances the visual quality almost automatically by sharpening and smoothing at the same time with less parameter selection.
