In this paper, recovery method with high-bitrate and low-bitrate coder was implemented in order to recover consecutive packet loss over the Internet. LPC was used as redundant audio data for recover of lost packets and RTP parcket format was modified for accommodation of redundant data. In measuring results using random packet loss rate with three redundant datra in every packet, it has shown that recovery rate was 80% in los rate of 50%. Since the processing delay for recovery of the lost packet was 200ms, this recovery method can be applied to real-time Internet sevice such as Internet phone.

To constoruct a multi-channel system like Optical Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with the vast amount of transmission capability, a frequency stabilization is essential technique for getting narrower channel spacing and for minimizing fluctuation of oscillation frquency of each channel. This paper proposes a novel multi-channel optical frequency stabilization scheme that uses wavelength crossover properties of a Arrayed Waveguide Grating(AWG). The proposed scheme includes an effective control algorithm that carries out frequency stabilization of all channels through a simple control circuit, simulaneously. And also, a design method of AWG is included which has higher resolutio in consideration of system loss.

In providing with low speed multimedia services, a call blocking rate is greatly varied according to the transmission rate, and thereofr, the call blocking rate is remarkably increased for a service having a high transmission rate compared to a service having a low transmission rate. This paper presents three methods of solving this problem; Packing Scheme in which available channels distributed to each frequency channel are concentrated on one frequency channel and a call having a high transmission rate is assigned to the frequency channel; Queuing Scheme in which queuing is assigned to calls under service is temporarily reduced and a call having a high transmission rate is allowed. The result of performance analysis for 13 Kbps and 128 Kbps service through computer simulation showed that the call blocking rate for 128 Kbpx service was reduced by tens of percent accoring to loads.

This paper includes AC servo motor speed control usig the predictive control strategy. Generally, AC servo motor control should have the fast response characteristics. For the issue, sliding mode control and PID control have been applied. However, the former has the speed ripple response due to the chattering and the latter requires the many trial efforts. Originally, the predictive control which has been used in process control area does not need the priori knowledge for the application system and it is easy to compute the optimal gain with the prediction. In this paper, the TMS320C31 DSP pocessor is used for AC motor control with fst dynamics and the tuning guid-line for the parameters of the predictive control algorithm is given in order to reduce the computation load. Also, the actuator saturationis implemented uisngthe QP(Quadratic Programming) method and the transient response is improved by the identified intertia coefficient when AC motor is drived at forward/reverse rotation.

In this paper we propose a control law using a Lyapunov-like function that makes stable the systems which have mis-matched uncertainties. The existing control law using a Lyapunov-like function, which gives global saymptotic stability, is designed under the assumption of a targetsystem to be stable locally. But we broaden here the class of target systems by designing the control law which can give uniform ultimate boundedness to even the systems not satisfing the locally asymptotic stability. And we also show that the control law giving global asymptotic stability can be designed more systematically through using the uniform ultimate boundedness.

In this paper, we extracted heart region using dyamic contour model, increased the vertical resolution of heart region by proposed 2-dimensional interpolation method and visualized the 3-dimensional hearet volutme. the proposed new energy term of dynamic contour model considering the gray level and direction of controur vectors is effective to extract the closed heart boundary. And, we generatedvertical slice images from the extracted heart region images using the 2-dimensional linear interpolation by DT(distance transform). We showed that proposed algorithm is useful by 3-dimensional visualization of heart volume.

This paper presents an experimenal proof for criteria of selecting an optimum adaptive beamforming (ABF) algorithm for a large distorted phased array. A single point target embedded in clutter model is suggested to compare four well-known ABF algorithms. These algorithms are tested to low variance and high variance real data for self-calibrating a large distored phased array. It is shown that these algorithms require at least one dominant scatterer with large radar cross section (RCS) or multiple scatterers with moderate RCS in the field of view. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the comparisons of the four algorithems in terms of gain loss and image correlaion coefficient, along with corresponding reconstructed cross-range images and range-azimuth images.

In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-view images coding algorithm to find the optimal depth and texture from the set of multi-view images. The proposed algorithm consists of two consecutive steps, i) the depth estraction step, and ii) the texture extraction step, comparedwith the traditional algorithem which finds the depth and texture concurrently. The X-Y plane of the normalized object space is divided into traingular paatches and the Z value of the node is determined in the first step and then the texture of the each patch is extracted in the second step. In the depth extraction step, the depth of the node is determined by applying the block based disparity compensation method to the windowed area centered at the node. In the second step, the texture of the traingular patches is extracted from the multi-view images by applying the affine transformation based disparity compensation method to the traingular pateches with the depth extracted from the first step. Experimental results show that the SNR(Singnal-to- Noise Ratio) of images enconded by our algorithm is better than that of images encoded by the traditional algorithm by the amount about 4dB for for the test sets of multi-view images called dragon, kid, city and santa.

In this paper, we describe the object-oriented motioncompensation technique using the hierarchical grid interpolation(HGI). By noting that the HGI does not exploit effetively the rate-distortion (R-D) trade-off inherent in the quadtree decomposition, we propose an objectoriented HGI technique employing the greedy method. In the proposed technique, input image is decomposed in a quadtree basis using the greedy method, yielding maximum split gain in the R-D sense. Then, the motion compensation is performed using the HGI technique. The performance of the proposed technique is examined in simulation, and it will be show that the proposed technique provides better performance than the conventional object-oriented motion compensation techniques.

In this paper, we propose a new method that sequentially estimates TDOA(Time Delay Of Arrival) and FDOA(Frequency Delay Of Arrival) for extracting the information about the bearing and relative velocity of a target in passive radar or sonar arrays. The objective is to efficiently estimate the TDOA and FDOA between two sensor signal measurements, corrupted by correlated Gaussian noise sources in an unknown way. The proposed method utilizes the one dimensional slice function of the third order cumulants between the two sensor measurements, by which the effect of correlated Gaussian measurement noises can be significantly suppressed for the estimation of TDOA. Because the proposed sequential algoritjhm uses the one dimensional complex ambiguity function based on the TDOA estimate from the first step, the amount of computations needed for accurate estimationof FDOA can be dramatically reduced, especially for the cases where high frequency resolution is required. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing TDOA/FDOA estimation algorithms based on the ML(maximum likelihood) criterionandthe complex ambiguity function of the third order cumulant as well, in the MSE(mean squared error) sense and computational burden. Various numerical resutls on the detection probability, MSE and the floatingpoint computational burden are presented via Monte-Carlo simulations for different types of noises, different lengths of data, and different signal-to-noise ratios.

The rosette-scan seeker is a device mounted on the infrared guided missile. It offers the positions and iamges of target to missiles servo system by scanning a space about target in rosette pattern with a single detector. An instantaneous field of view (IFOV), which is a diameter of a detector moving along the path of the rosette pattern, has the property that its smaller size provide the less interference of background signals and detector noise. If its size is too small to voer the total field of view (TFOV), however, it produces the invisible regions in the TFOV. In this case, the invisible regions cause the performance of the seeker to deteriorate. For full scan-coverage, it is necessary to design the small IFOV without the invisible regions in the TFOV, as possible. In this paper, we propose the new method of designing the smaller IFOV than the conventional method and verify full coverage of the scanned region. By comparing the nose equivalent flux density (NEFD) of the proposed method with the that of the conventional one, we confirm that the former is better than the latter in terms of performance.

This paper proposes a synchronization method of synthetic facial iamge sequences and synthetic speech. The LP-PSOLA synthesizes the speech for each demi-syllable. We provide the 3,040 demi-syllables for unlimited synthesis of the Korean speech. For synthesis of the Facial image sequences, the paper defines the total 11 fundermental patterns for the lip shapes of the Korean consonants and vowels. The fundermental lip shapes allow us to pronounce all Korean sentences. Image synthesis method assigns the fundermental lip shapes to the key frames according to the initial, the middle and the final sound of each syllable in korean input text. The method interpolates the naturally changing lip shapes in inbetween frames. The number of the inbetween frames is estimated from the duration time of each syllable of the synthetic speech. The estimation accomplishes synchronization of the facial image sequences and speech. In speech synthesis, disk memory is required to store 3,040 demi-syllable. In synthesis of the facial image sequences, however, the disk memory is required to store only one image, because all frames are synthesized from the neutral face. Above method realizes synchronization of system which can real the Korean sentences with the synthetic speech and the synthetic facial iage sequences.
