본 논문에서는 기존의 잡음 제거용 순환 filter와 달리 시간축 대역제한을 통해 시각특성의 개선과 영상데이타 압축 효과를 개선시키는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 일반적으로 시간축 대역제한을 수행하려면 시간방향으로의 aliasing을 고려해야 한다. 신호 처리 관점에서 보면 신호에 aliasing이 생긴다면 이의 영향을 받지않고 (de-aliasing) filtering하는 것은 불가능하다고 알려져있다. 그러나 영상신호에서는 baseband spectrum 구조를 예측할 수 있고, 이를 토대로 aliasing의 영향을 받지않는 대역제한 방안을 생각할 수 있다. 이는 이동벡터의 궤적을 따라 공간 영역에서 대역제한(Motion Adaptive Spatial Filter)을 하는 것으로서 이들의 특성 및 구성방안으 제안한다. 이렇게 구성된 filter는 aliasing의 제기 뿐만아니라 시간축 잡음의 제거에도 기여를 하게 된다. 실험에서는 제안방법의 de-aliasing 특성과 영상부호화기로의 적용결과를 알아본다.

Frequency domain analysis is a fundamental procedure for understanding the characteristics of visual data. Several studies have been conducted with 2D videos, but analysis of stereoscopic 3D videos is rarely carried out. In this paper, we derive the Fourier transform of a simplified 3D video signal and analyze how a 3D video is influenced by disparity and motion in terms of temporal aliasing. It is already known that object motion affects temporal frequency characteristics of a time-varying image sequence. In our analysis, we show that a 3D video is influenced not only by motion but also by disparity. Based on this conclusion, we present a temporal anti-aliasing filter for a 3D video. Since the human process of depth perception mainly determines the quality of a reproduced 3D image, 2D image processing techniques are not directly applicable to 3D images. The analysis presented in this paper will be useful for reducing undesirable visual artifacts in 3D video as well as for assisting the development of relevant technologies.

This paper presents a method, Exposure Controlled Temporal Filtering (ECF), applied to visual motion tracking, that can cancel the temporal aliasing of periodic vibrations of cameras and fluctuations in illumination through the control of exposure time. We first present a theoretical analysis of the exposure induced image time integration process and how it samples sensor impingent light that is periodically fluctuating. Based on this analysis we develop a simple method to cancel high frequency vibrations that are temporally aliased onto sampled image sequences and thus to subsequent motion tracking measurements. Simulations and experiments using the 'Center of Gravity' and Normalized Cross-Correlation motion tracking methods were performed on a microscopic motion tracking system to validate the analytical predictions.

In this paper, we present the circular array structure for estimating the temporal and spatial specturm of multiple narrowband incoherent signals which have different frequencies. The conventional linear array is computationally demanding for simultaneously estimating the spatial and temporal spectrum since it requires the tapped delay line filer. The statistical performance of the circular array is never deteriorated eve though it requires much less computational load than the uniform linear array. Especially, it is shown that the circular array resolves the direction-of-arrivals of the multiple signals without the spatial and temporal aliasing the fundamental nonuniform-sampling property prossessed by it. Computer simulation results are shown to demonstrate the better performance achieved with the circular array geometry relative to that obtained with a uniform linear array with taps.

The use of ultrasound pulsed Doppler systems has become increasingly popular due to the advantages of easy measurements of blood velocity, volume blood blow, and irregularities of the circulatory system. However, the 2-D Doppler systems have several problems, such as range ambiguity, low signal to noise ratio, and slow frame rate. The mean frequency aliasing problem originating from the pulse repetition frequency is one of major limitations in pulsed Doppler systems. A conventional approach to resolve this problem is tracking the mean frequency close to and beyond the Nyquist frequency along the temporal axis. In this paper, a new concept of tracking the mean frequency along the spatial axis is proposed. The proposed technique is fault tolerant by nature and more suitable for multi gate and 2-D Doppler system than conventional methods.

혼재 네트워크 (heterogeneous networks) 환경에서는 IPTV 서비스를 위해 계층부호화 방식 (SVC, Scalable Video Coding)이 사용될 것이다. 본 논문은 공간적 (spatial), 품질적 (quality), 시간적 (temporal) 세 가지의 계층화 방식을 (scalable coding) 혼합한 혼합 계층화 방식 (hybrid scalable coding)에서 최종 디스플레이 되는 레벨에 따라 계층간 참조 (inter-layer reference)하는 계층을 결정하는 방식에 대하여 분석하였다. 공간적 계층화에서 위신호(僞信號) (aliasing) 방지를 위해 제거되는 고주파 성분과 품질적 계층화에서 양자화에 의해서 생기는 잡음간의 관계에 따라 공간적 하부 계층에서 요구되는 품질은 어느 정도가 적합한지를 결정한다. 본 논문은 공간적 계층화와 품질적 계층화의 레벨 선택은 비디오 시퀀스의 특성에 따라 결정되어야함을 보인다.

Purpose: To report the use of multiband accelerated echo-planar imaging (EPI) for resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) to achieve rapid high temporal resolution at 3T compared to conventional EPI. Materials and Methods: rs-fMRI data were acquired from 20 healthy right-handed volunteers by using three methods: conventional single-band gradient-echo EPI acquisition (Data 1), multiband gradient-echo EPI acquisition with 240 volumes (Data 2) and 480 volumes (Data 3). Temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) maps were obtained by dividing the mean of the time course of each voxel by its temporal standard deviation. The resting-state sensorimotor network (SMN) and default mode network (DMN) were estimated using independent component analysis (ICA) and a seed-based method. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed between the tSNR map, SMN, and DMN from the three data sets for between-group analysis. P < 0.05 with a family-wise error (FWE) correction for multiple comparisons was considered statistically significant. Results: One-way ANOVA and post-hoc two-sample t-tests showed that the tSNR was higher in Data 1 than Data 2 and 3 in white matter structures such as the striatum and medial and superior longitudinal fasciculus. One-way ANOVA revealed no differences in SMN or DMN across the three data sets. Conclusion: Within the adapted metrics estimated under specific imaging conditions employed in this study, multiband accelerated EPI, which substantially reduced scan times, provides the same quality image of functional connectivity as rs-fMRI by using conventional EPI at 3T. Under employed imaging conditions, this technique shows strong potential for clinical acceptance and translation of rs-fMRI protocols with potential advantages in spatial and/or temporal resolution. However, further study is warranted to evaluate whether the current findings can be generalized in diverse settings.

본 논문에서는 HE-AAC (High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding) 오디오 부호화기의 저주파 대역과 고주파 대역을 담당하고 있는 AAC부호화기와 SBR (Spectral Band Replication) 부호화기에 대해 낮은 비트율에서 효과적인 개선 방법을 제안한다. AAC 부호화기가 담당하는 저주파 대역에서 과도신호가 발생하는 부분의 프리에코를 줄이기 위하여 적용 주파수범위가 저주파 대역 방향으로 선택적으로 확장되는 eTNS (exteded Temporal Noise Shaping) 방법을 고안하였다. 또한 SBR에 의해 부호화되는 고주파 대역에서 톤 성분 복원 시에 잡음층 (Noise floor)이 추가 발생되지 않도록 정현파 모델을 통해 톤을 사전 인지하고 인지된 톤들의 주파수를 QMF 밴드의 중앙으로 재배치하여 성능 향상을 이루었다. 제안한 방법들을 사용하여 복호화한 샘플 음원들에 대해 주/객관적 음질평가를 실시한 결과, 표준 HE-AAC에 비해 향상된 결과를 보여주었다.

We study the long-term radio variability of 43 radio bright AGNs by exploiting the data base of the University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO) monitoring program. The UMRAO database provides high quality lightcurves spanning 25 - 32 years in time at three observing frequencies, 4.8, 8, and 14.5 GHz. We model the periodograms (temporal power spectra) of the observed lightcurves as simple power-law noise (red noise, spectral power $P(f){\propto}f^{-{\beta}}$ using Monte Carlo simulations, taking into account windowing effects (red-noise leak, aliasing). The power spectra of 39 (out of 43) sources are in good agreement with the models, yielding a range in power spectral index (${\beta}$) from ${\approx}1$ to ${\approx}3$. We find a strong anti-correlation between ${\beta}$ and the fractal dimension of the lightcurves, which provides an independent check of the quality of our modelling of power spectra. We fit a Gaussian function to each flare in a given lightcurve to obtain the flare duration. We discover a correlation between ${\beta}$ and the median duration of the flares. We use the derivative of a lightcurve to obtain a characteristic variability timescale which does not depend on the assumed functional form of the flares, incomplete fitting, and so on. We find that, once the effects of relativistic Doppler boosting on the observed timescales are corrected, the variability timescales of our sources are proportional to the black hole mass to the power of ${\alpha}=1.70{\pm}0.49$. We see an indication for AGNs in different regimes of accretion rate, flat spectrum radio quasars and BL Lac objects, having different scaling relations with ${\alpha}{\approx}1$ and ${\approx}2$, respectively. We find that modelling the periodograms of four of our sources requires the assumption of broken powerlaw spectra. From simulating lightcurves as superpositions of exponential flares we conclude that strong overlap of flares leads to featureless simple power-law periodograms of AGNs at radio wavelengths in most cases (The paper is about to be submitted to ApJ).
