In the process of the sonar image textures produced, the orientation and scale factors are very significant. However, most of the related methods ignore the directional information and scale invariance or just pay attention to one of them. To overcome this problem, we apply Gabor wavelet to extract the features of sonar images, which combine the advantages of both the Gabor filter and traditional wavelet function. The mother wavelet is designed with constrained parameters and the optimal parameters will be selected at each orientation, with the help of bandwidth parameters based on the Fisher criterion. The Gabor wavelet can have the properties of both multi-scale and multi-orientation. Based on our experiment, this method is more appropriate than traditional wavelet or single Gabor filter as it provides the better discrimination of the textures and improves the recognition rate effectively. Meanwhile, comparing with other fusion methods, it can reduce the complexity and improve the calculation efficiency.

Recently, an approximation of a wavelet series has been developed in the analyses of an unknown function. Most of articles have been studied on thresholding and shrinkage methods for its wavelet coefficients based on (non)parametric and Bayesian methods when the sample size is considered as a maximum resolution in wavelet series. In this paper, regardless of the sample size, we are focusing only on the choice of a maximum resolution in wavelet series. We propose a Bayesian approach to the choice of a maximum resolution based on the linear combination of the wavelet basis functions.

Mallat has shown that, with a proper choice of wavelet function, the local maxima of wavelet transformed signal indicate a sharp variation in the signal. Since the glottal closure causes sharp discontinuities in the speech signal, dyadic wavelet transform can be useful for detecting abrupt change in the voiced sounds, i.e., epochs. In this paper, we investigate the glottal closure instants obtained from the wavelet analysis of speech signal and compare them with those obtained from the EGG signal. Then, we detect pitch period of speech signal on the basis of these results. Experimental results demonstrated that local maxima of wavelet transformed signal give accurate estimation of epoch and pitch periods of voiced sound obtained by the proposed algorithm also correspond to those from EGG well.

A wavelet based approach is proposed for structural damage detection in beams, plate and delamination of composite plates. Wavelet theory is applied here for crack identification of a beam element with a transverse on edge non-propagating open crack. Finite difference method was used for generating a general displacement equation for the cracked beam in the first example. In the second and third example, damage is detected from the deformed shape of a loaded simply supported plate applying the wavelet theory. Delamination in composite plate is identified using wavelet theory in the fourth example. The main concept used is the breaking down of the dynamic signal of a structural response into a series of local basis function called wavelets, so as to detect the special characteristics of the structure by scaling and transformation property of wavelets. In the light of the results obtained, limitations of the proposed method as well as suggestions for future work are presented. Results show great promise of wavelet approach for damage detection and structural health monitoring.

The fMRI which can express the function of brain as MR image is now being studied. The study on the functional image has usually been performed with the MRI in 4 tesla class in goneral, but if gradient echo imaging method could be used, it might make the most of what it has with the MRI in 1.5 tesla class. However, the lack of adequate image post-processing software prevents it from being used as widely as it could be. For the image post-processing algorithm of the functional image, subtraction method and several statistical methods are used with continuous introduction of new method recently. In this paper, we suggest adaptation of wavelet algorithm for obtaining a more reliable brain function map.

본 논문은 시변 맥스웰 방정식에 기초한 웨이브릿-갤러킨 설계를 제안하였다. 두 개의 모멘트 함수가 0 이 되는 Daubechies 웨이브릿 함수를 기저함수로 전개하고 Yee가 제안한 Leap-frog 접근법을 적용하였다. D Daubechies 웨이브릿의 변위된 보간 특성을 이용하여 적분이나 매체 연산자에 대한 부가적인 행렬이 필요없 는 방정식을 유도하였다 안정화 조건을 유도하고 분산특성을 분석한 후 유한차분 시간영역법과 다해상도 시 간영역법의 결과와 비교하였고. 분산특성의 분석을 통해 기저함수의 정규성(Regularity)과 받침폭(Support width) 사이의 균형을 확인했다. 기저함수가 단 2개의 0이 되는 웨이브릿 모멘트 함수를 가지지만. 이는 수치 해석 상에서 무시할 수 있는 분산 오류를 수반하였고, 컴팩트 받침(Compact support)에 의해 노드 당 적은 수의 계수만이 고려되었다. 제안된 설계의 저장계수의 효율, 실행 시간의 감소와 정확도를 균일 공진기와 비 균일 공진기의 공진주파수 해석을 통해 검증하였다.

많은 임상적 상태에서 ECG신호는 진단을 목적으로 기록된다. 또한 정확한 임상해석을 위해 데이터는 높은 해상도와 샘플링율이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다중웨이브렛 기저함수를 이용한 심전도 압축구조를 설계하여 기존의 단일 웨이브렛 기저함수와 이산 코사인 변환과 비교 분석하였다. 실험의 객관성을 위해 MIT-BIH 데이터 베이스중에서 분해도가 11[bit]이고 샘플링 주파수가 360[Hz]인 부정맥 데이터를 이용하여 모의 실험하였다. 성능평가는 재생오차에 대한 압축율로 평가하였다. 결과적으로 다중웨이브렛 기저함수를 이용한 심전도 압축구조에서 DCT보다 2배 이상의 좋은 성능평가 결과를 보였다.

Reliable strength assessment of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargo containment system under the sloshing impact load is very difficult task due to the complexity of the physics involved in, both in terms of the hydrodynamics and structural mechanics. Out of all those complexities, the proper selection of the design sloshing load which is applied to the structural model of the LNG cargo containment system, is one of the most challenging one due to its inherent randomness as well as the statistical analysis which is tightly linked to the design sloshing load selection. In this study, the response based strength assessment procedure of LNG cargo containment system has been developed and proposed as an alternative design methodology. Sloshing pressure time history, measured from the model test, is decomposed into wavelet basis function targeting the minimization of the number of the basis function together with the maximization of the numerical efficiency. Then the response of the structure is obtained using the finite element method under each wavelet basis function of different scale. Finally, the response of the structure under entire sloshing impact time history is rapidly calculated by synthesizing the structural response under wavelet basis function. Through this analysis, more realistic response of the system under sloshing impact pressure can be obtained without missing the details of pressure time history such as rising pattern, oscillation due to air entrapment and decay pattern and so on. The strength assessment of the cargo containment system is then performed based on the statistical analysis of the stress peaks selected out of the obtained stress time history.

The noise removal as a preprocessing was tried with various kinds of wavelet pairs. Wavelet transform for 2D images generally uses the same wavelets as basis functions in horizontal and vertical directions. A method with different wavelets was tried for each direction separately, which gives more precise interpretation of the classification. Total 486 pairs of wavelets from nine basis functions were tried to remove image noises. The classification accuracies before and after the noise removal were compared. Although all kinds of wavelet pairs showed the increased accuracies in classification, there were best and worst wavelet pairs depending on the data sets. Wavelet pairs with low energy percentage of LL band showed the high classification accuracy. A pattern was found in the results that very similar vertical accuracy was distributed for each horizontal ones. Since Haar is the shortest length filter, Haar could be a predictor wavelet to find the good wavelet pairs.

본 논문은 객관적 음질 평가법으로 웨이블렛 변환을 이용한 향상된 바크 코히어런스 함수 (Wavelet based Bark Coherence Function : WBCF)를 제안한다. 바크 코히어런스 함수 (Bark Coherence Function : BCF)는 심리 음향 영역에서 코히어런스 함수를 정의함으로서 음성 통신 시스템의 아날로그 부분에 의하여 발생할 수 있는 선형 왜곡에 강한 객관적 음질 평가법이다. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)와 같은 패킷 기반의 음성 전달 시스템은 가변 지연등이 발생 될 수 있는데, 이것은 원음과 왜곡음의 정확한 시간축 정렬을 불가능하게 하여 기존의 객관적 음질 평가법의 성능을 저하시킨다. 제안된 WBCF는 고주파 영역에서 시간 분해능이 높으며, 저주파 영역에서 주파수 분해능이 높은 웨이블렛 변환을 사용한 후 BCF를 계산하여 VoIP 시스템에서의 객관적 음질을 평가한다. 주/객관적 음질 평가 실험을 통하여 WBCF가 ITU-T 권고안인 Perceptual Speech Quality Measure (PSQM)에 비하여 높은 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.
