Full textAn analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a link between the analog and digital domains and plays a vital role in modern mixed signal processing systems. There are several architectures, for example flash ADCs, pipeline ADCs, sigma delta ADCs,successive approximation (SAR) ADCs and time interleaved ADCs. Among the various architectures, the pipeline ADC offers a favorable trade-off between speed,power consumption, resolution, and design effort. The commonly used applications of pipeline ADCs include high quality video systems, radio base stations,Ethernet, cable modems and high performance digital communication systems.Unfortunately, static errors like comparators offset errors, capacitors mismatch errors and gain errors degrade the performance of the pipeline ADC. Hence, there is need for accuracy enhancement techniques. The conventional way to overcome these mentioned errors is to calibrate the pipeline ADC after fabrication, the so-called post fabrication calibration techniques. But environmental changes like temperature and device aging necessitates the recalibration after regular intervals of time, resulting in a loss of time and money. A lot of effort can be saved if the digital outputs of the pipeline ADC can be used for the estimation and correctionof these errors, further classified as foreground and background techniques. In this thesis work, an algorithm is proposed that can estimate 10% inter stage gain errors in pipeline ADC without any need for a special calibration signal. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is investigated on an 8-bit pipeline ADC architecture.The first seven stages are implemented using the 1.5-bit/stage architecture whilethe last stage is a one-bit flash ADC. The ADC and error correction algorithms simulated in Matlab and the signal to noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) is calculated to evaluate its efficiency.

In this study, we focus on improving the multi-spectral imaging system which has been successfully developed. Firstly, in order to improve the stability of the system, we apply a new technique called weighted principal component analysis (wPCA). Implementation of this method provides the ability in selection of extracted principal eigenvectors. The result shows the reconstructed spectra based on wPCA are significantly improved in comparison to those obtained from the standard PCA. Then, we propose a new experimental framework to simulate an open environment. We establish a mathematical model by giving a calibration target and controllable ambient light. The experimental result shows that the average colorimetric errors and the RMS errors are decreased by 66.54% and 47.45%. Lastly, we utilize the multi-spectral imaging technique to detect bruises on apples and also build a system that can differentiate between good apples and bad apples. The identification rate is up to 87%.

The pipeline architecture is more suitable for some applications with the requirement of high resolution than the flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architectures, due to its small size and low power consumption. However, the accuracy of a pipelined ADC architecture is susceptible to circuits imperfections, such as offset voltages, gain errors, non-linearity of operational trans-conductance amplifier (OTA) and capacitors mismatch and so on. The effect of circuit impairment is associated with each stage of a pipelined ADC architecture. The disadvantage of non-linearity still remains limited on component mismatch. To date, some techniques have been proposed for improving the INL. These techniques used some extra analog circuits or calibration circuits for the implementation of a pipelined ADC. In this thesis, we present a new digital error-averaging technique to reduce the mismatch effect due to the employed components. In this research, a 12-bit 50MS/s pipelined ADC with a digital error-averaging technique has been designed and implemented with standard 0.35-µm double-poly four-metal CMOS process. This technique used two pass commutating feedback-capacitors at one sample input signal, and used digital circuits to average the twice data for improving the integral non-linearity of pipelined ADC.

The main purpose of this thesis is to design a comprehensive applied system which includes processes of hiding, retrieving and recognizing watermarks in order to solve problems concerning the original copyright attribute and to protect authors’ legal right. The three most important issues of this research lie in considerations that the visual quality of the watermark-processed image should be consistent with the original one, the watermark should not be easy to find or to be removed by attackers, and the watermark should be strong enough to work against any kind of image-processing attacks. Moreover, the proposed algorithm should be working well when any arbitrary gray level and meaningful image segments (such as fingerprint, logo, image, etc.) are adopted as watermark. The technique developed here is distinctly different from the pseudo-random sequence technique, which is used by most of researchers in this filed and usually generates watermarks without visual meanings. The most significant feature of the proposed method is that it combines the concept of spread spectrum and Toral Automorphisms developed by Voyatzis. Moreover, Toral Automorphisms is improved in this study to reduce its execution time. And watermarks which apply this algorithm will not easy to be detected. Finally, this improved method also provides effective results for the recognition of watermarks.

Digital Error-Averaging Technique for Pipelined Analog to Digital Converter by Hweiyu Lee, M.S. Advisor: Shen-Iuan Liu Electrical Engineering of National Taiwan University E-MAIL: hweiyu@jwit.edu.tw Abstract The pipeline architecture is more suitable for some applications with the requirement of high resolution than the flash ADC architectures, due to its small size and low power consumption. However, the accuracy of a pipeline ADC architecture is susceptible to circuits imperfections, such as offset voltages, gain errors, non-linearity of ot-amplifier (OTA) and capacitors mismatch and so on. The effect of circuit impairment is associated with each stage of a pipeline ADC architecture. The disadvantage of non-linearity still remains limited on component mismatch. To date, some techniques have been proposed for improving the INL. These techniques used some extra analog circuits or calibration circuits for the implementation of a pipeline ADC. In this thesis, we present a new digital error-averaging technique to reduce the mismatch effect due to the employed components. A set of digital error-averaging technique is applied to perform in pipelined analog to digital converter (ADC). This technique used two pass commutating feedback-capacitors at one sample input signal, and used digital circuits to average the twice data for improving the integral non-linearity of pipeline ADC. This design techniques is incorporated in an experimental chip fabricated in a 0.5μm, double-poly, two metal CMOS process. At 10 bits 5-M sample/s, while achieving a maximum differential non-linearity (DNL) of±0.35 least-significant bits(LSB), and integral non-linearity (INL) of±0.55 LSB.

Nowadays the multimedia technology in distributed environments becomes realistic and the multimedia copyright protection issue becomes more and more important. Various digital watermarking techniques have been proposed in recent years to protect the copyright of multimedia data, and they also have been used on digital audio signals. But, the safety and robustness issues of watermarking techniques are challenged in applying these techniques to MPEG Audio bit streams, especially the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) encoder. In this paper, we propose a watermark embedding method for MP3 files. The watermarking technique will embed the watermark of copyright information directly into the bit streams of MP3. In this way, we can avoid the distortion of copyright information in the decoding/encoding process. Our experimental results show that the robustness of our watermarking technique, that embeds the watermark into the compressed domain bitstream, is better than the other techniques, which embed the watermark into the uncompressed domain signal. We can not only keep the completeness of the embedded copyright information but also can provide the ownership authentication and secret information protection for different users’ requirements.

In 21st century, personal computer and high rapid broadband network have become the necessaries in office and house where documents, business transaction, multimedia animation, photos and artwork are processed by computer. Besides that, it is possible to send those digital copies around the world by broadband network. On the other hand, this oncoming technique brings information community some disadvantage, too. As long as the digital copies were not protected by some ways, people can easily duplicate and spread them around the world which causes the problem of rampant illegal copies. Consequently, watermarking is recommended to protect digital copies and make sure the digital copies holders legal. In this thesis, odd/even region algorithm first comes forward, and then integrating it with LSR algorithm made by J. Puate and F. Jordan, and Isometric algorithm made by C. H. Li and S. S. Wang, is proposed. After that, this thesis brings up a new fractal compression method which can embed watermark with satisfactory image quality and be tolerant with JPEG compression.

Data hiding technique is an important vector of network information communication and plays a role in security. This technique embeds secret information called a mark into host image to provide different purposes such as copyright protection, proof, and so on. Reversible data hiding technique provides not only secret data but also images being definitely in the decoding stage. This is highly desired in quality-sensitive imagery where even the minimal distortion introduced by embedding data is unacceptable since the reversibility helps to mark right decision during image analysis. In recent years, researchers have developed some different reversible image hiding theories and methods based on image histogram modification and pixels difference. But high capacity of digital images is low and the loss of host information happens in traditional reversible image hiding method. This study proposes a novel image hiding method based on histogram hiding and halftoning technique. This method uses reversible data hiding to embed error diffusion halftone image into original image for image secrecy. In image extract process, we use reversible data hiding to extract the halftone information, and hidden image is achieved from LUT inverse halftone. Experimental result shows that the performance of our method can hide high capacity of digital images, the stego-image is almost the same as the cover-image, and it can be reversible.

The development of computer techniques and communication networks make electronic document exchange, digital document exchange, E-commerce, video on demand, and digital library service popular. The digital data can be easily reproduced without any loss, Such that copyright protection becomes an imperative requirement to prevent piracy. To prevent data piracy and plagiarism, digital watermarking has been proposed. It has developed very quickly for the past few years. A digital watermarking is a set of information which is embedded in the data robustly and imperceptibly, and it could be applied on copyright protection and authentication. In this thesis, two integrated watermarking techniques were proposed. In order to increase the robustness of the watermark. The original image's coefficients of middle frequency will be obtained through the DCT process that will be used to the information hiding. At the same time, the ECC would be embedded in. This paper used Hamming Code. The Reed-Solomon Code is usually used for protecting the transmition information. When images to incur the different attacks, the system still can extract the waterwork with the best discernment by combining two technologies.

In this dissertation, a digital image stabilization (DIS) technique and its applications are proposed as a way to remove the unwanted shaking phenomena in the image sequences captured by hand-held, in-car or fixed-type surveillance camcorders, without being affected by moving objects in the image sequence or by the intentional panning motion of the camera. DIS contains two major parts: (1) How to estimate an efficient, precise, and reliable global motion vector. (2) How to use the existing GMV to compensate for a smooth motion trajectory within the window shifting allowance boundary. For motion estimation (ME), an inverse triangular method is proposed to look for the local motion vector (LMV). An optimization of the representative points is proposed to reduce computation complexity, and a refined motion vector is proposed to apply to any ill-conditions of the GMV estimation. Skyline detection for in-car applications and background based peer to peer evaluation are proposed to enforce the reliability of the GMV estimation as well. For motion compensation (MC), a plot of the motion trajectory and a smoothness index evaluation are proposed to quantitatively verify the analysis that shows the improvement of the MC. An inner feedback-loop integrator has been applied to the MC to improve image stabilization during the camera’s panning motion. Finally, Fuzzy inference digital image stabilization (FIDIS) is proposed to adaptively determine better motion compensation methods through the use of two different MCs. Experimental results show that the proposed methods of this dissertation adapt to different conditions of image sequencing, such as a lack of features, repeated patterns, large moving objects and large low-contrast areas in the image and that they can also estimate the GMV precisely as well. The degradation of image stabilization during the panning motion is solved by adding an inner feedback-loop integrator. The proposed FIDIS also shows effective improvements in different conditions of image sequence through the evaluations of the smoothness index and the motion trajectory.

In this thesis, we will discuss how to use the digital output codes of pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to find out the non-ideal properties of each analog building-block. A ramp signal is used as input test stimulus in this method. First, our discussion will start with the introduction of architecture and function of a general pipelined ADC. And then, we will discuss the non-ideal effects of the analog building blocks in each stage on the digital outputs. Base on these fault effects, the diagnosis methodology can be derived. What we have to emphasize here is that we only observe the digital output instead of measuring the analog signal in the core of converter to avoid modifying of the design. In other words, we only observe the digital output of each stage. Some simulation results and test procedure will also be presented.

The advances of computers and communication networks make digital content service such as digital document exchange, E-commerce, video on demand, and digital library very popular. Since digital data can be easily reproduced without any loss, copyright protection becomes an imperative requirement to prevent piracy. Digital watermarking has been proposed as one of the techniques to prevent data piracy and plagiarism. Digital watermarking is a novel and emerging technology. It has developed very quickly for the past few years. A digital watermark is a set of information that is robustly and imperceptibly embedded in the data to be protected. Applications include copyright protection, and authentication. In the thesis, we developed two watermarking techniques using spread-spectrum technique. We interpreted the watermarking technology based on communication theory. The watermark was the signal to be transmitted. The frequency domain of the original image was the transmission channel. The attacks were regarded as channel noise. There were two methods to implement the spread-spectrum system: direct- sequence spread- spectrum (DSSS) and frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS). Based on these tow methods, we develop FHSS Watermarking and DSSS Watermarking. JPEG compression is the most widely used image because compression technique of its high compression ratio and reasonable image quality. Here, we develop the watermark embedding method especially for JPEG encoding process since block Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) was used for JPEG. In our approach, a block DCT-based algorithm was used to embed the image watermarking. In order to survive the JPEG compression, the watermark must be embedded in the bands that can with stand the JPEG quantization. Experiments showed that FHSS Watermarking is more resistant to the attack of JPEG compression. The PhotoImpact 5 digital image processing software was used for other attacks. We found that FHSS Watermarking is more robust than DSSS Watermarking in geometric distortions. But in other signal processing modifications, DSSS Watermarking is more robust than FHSS Watermarking. Therefore, we developed a new method that combined with FHSS Watermarking and DSSS Watermarking, we call the new method “combined SS Watermarking”. The experimental results prove that combined SS Watermarking has both the advantages of FHSS Watermarking and DSSS Watermarking. Therefore, combined SS Watermarking is more robust and can with stand many different attacks.

Image compensation and segmentation techniques plays an mportant role in the field of image processing and computer vision. There have been many literatures reported good gray image segmentation technique. However, color image segmentation still not achieves satisfactory performance. We proposed two-stage processing technique to compensate the backlight images. The first stage is image segmentation. We transferred the color space to gray space by feature weighting [7], then used fuzzy c-means algorithm to segment the image into subject image and background image. The second stage is image backlight compensation. In this step, we adopted fuzzy logic technique [14] to decide the brightness compensation value, then used local histogram equalization to enhance the contrast of image. Finally, we combine the subject image which have been compensated with the original background image, and obtained the resulting image with better contrast.

Recently, the display panel of portable devices is normally equipped with resistor array for hand writing signal input. In newly development, photo sensitive array has been successfully embedded in the panel and the image capture by through panel has been viable. In this research, we investigate an ADC that has simple structure and could be easily implemented with multiple input array signals in different light intensity environment. With the explosive growth of wireless communication systems and portable consumer electronics, the demand for low-power low-voltage integrated circuits (ICs) is indispensable. Many of the applications nowadays utilize the digital signal processing to resolve the transmitted information. Therefore, between the received analog signal and the DSP system, an analog-to-digital interface is required. Being apart of the system, the A/D interface also needs to adhere to the low-power low-voltage constraint. In this paper, we use cyclic type ADC for subject frame which consists of sample-and-hold, 1.5bit/stage sub-ADC, 2bit Flash ADC, and Multiplying Digital-to-Analog Converter. It used Digital Error Correction Technique to avoid non-ideal circuit defects. For example: opamp gain error and comparator offset etc. This structure besides reduces non-ideal circuit defects, but also control the times of circle number to achieve the purpose of the different resolution. Although the conversion rate was slower, it could achieve low power, the small area and low cost demand. The circuit proposed above is design in a TSMC 0.35um process and verified by HSPICE program.

Recently, ultra low voltage and low power designs such as mobile systems, sensor networks and biomedical systems has increased the importance of designing digital logic circuits. In this work, novel low power XNOR and full adder designs for ultra low voltage applications are presented. By using subthreshold circuit techniques, the proposed designs not only eliminate voltage drop and cascaded problems but also provides better various performances. Simulation and measurement results show that, when compared with conventional TGA design, as much as saving 24% energy can be achieved by the proposed designs based on TSMC 1P6M 0.18μm CMOS technology.

Owing to the rapid progress of electronic data processing, handwritten signatures will soon be replaced with digital signatures. A digital signature,like a handwritten signature, is used to verify the sender of a particularmessage. However, when the message is on behalf of an organization, a valid message may require the approval of several people. A common example of thispolicy is a large bank transaction, which requires signatures from two people.Such a policy could be implemented by having a separate digital signatures forevery required signer, but this solution increases the efforts to verify themessage linearly with the number of signers. An alternative method is a threshold signature scheme. In a t-out-of-nthreshold signature scheme there is one public key for the group while the private key is shared among the n members of the group. Any t members can cooperate to create a digital signature without revealing their shares of theprivate key. Fewer than t members cannot create a valid signature. In this thesis, we propose a method to share a product among all groupmembers. And we embedded our sharing product method, named send-receive protocol,into a signature scheme based on both factoring and discrete logarithmsproblems to establish a threshold signature scheme. Finally, we discuss thesecurity and efficiency of our proposed scheme.

In this thesis, we propose three digital image noise reduction methods. The first method is an adaptive median filter, which is based on the standard median filter. In this method, a threshold and the standard median is used to detect noise and change the original pixel value to a newer that is closer to or the same as the standard median. We also incorporate the center weighted median filter in this method. In the second method, we shall propose a new noise detection method that is based on the human visual effect and is used to reduce the impulse noise of images. The detection function is used to classify each pixel into the group of either corrupted pixels or uncorrupted pixels. After this classification, we shall also propose a filter scheme based on the standard median filter to process the corrupted pixels. And the last method that we proposed in this thesis is a fast and efficient noise reduction method. The main idea of this method is to reduce the running time of the standard median filter. The major difference between this method and the standard median filter is the preprocessing work before filtering. We use a simple noise detection scheme to decide which pixel should be processed with the standard median filter and our noise detection scheme is based on image hiding technology.

Abstract Digital image watermark is a technique which takes advantage of the inability of human’s eyes to differentiate the subtle change of images. It is a special information embedded and hidden in the original image. Even if the image data is encrypted and decrypted, compressed, unintentional or any other kind of attack, the embedded digital image watermark can still be detected. In this thesis,we propose a complementary watermark technique which uses the skill of wavelet transformation to protect image data. Two complementary watermarks are hidden in the high and low frequencies respectively in the transformed frequency domain. Using this technique , there will be at least one watermark can survive under attack .Besides, in the process of retriever the watermark, the original image isn’t needed. Thus,save a lot of memory. The simulation results show that distortion of the original image caused by the insertion of watermark can be minimized. we also examine the outcome of watermark detection under JPEG compression, blurring, sharpening, noise and cutting based on the average image processing skills of Photoshop. The results show that our method can survive from most of the attack.

Digital still cameras have been widely used as image input device nowadays. Before a color image is generated, a lot of color image processes must be performed. Among these color image processes, the Color Filter Array (CFA) interpolation maybe the most important image process in digital still cameras. In this dissertation, we study the CFA interpolation problem, and we also develop an effective CFA interpolation algorithm. Recently, the idea of trustworthy digital camera is proposed. Digital cameras with automatic watermark function will be a new trend in the near future. We investigate the digital watermarking problem, and we also propose a robust image watermark method in this dissertation. This dissertation includes six chapters. In chapter 1, we give a brief introduction of the CFA interpolation problem and the importance of digital watermarking. A detailed study of the conventional CFA interpolation algorithms is presented in chapter 2. The proposed CFA interpolation method is introduced in chapter 3. Experiment results and detailed discussion will also provided. In chapter 4, the problem of digital watermarking will be studied. Watermark techniques are classified into three main categories based on different applications. These three categories are: visible watermark, invisible robust watermark, and invisible fragile watermark. In chapter 5, an invisible robust watermark technique is developed based on the idea of quantization. We proved that the proposed watermark method is extremely robust to common image processing. Our method is shown to provide very good results both in terms of invisibility and robustness. In chapter 6, we will conclude our researches and the future works will also be discussed.

The power amplifier is a main nonlinear component in the wireless communication, so it is necessary to develop the linearization technology of power amplifier (PA).The nonlinear element introduce the problems such as spectral regrowth, signal distortion, and constellation offset. There are several predistortion technologies, i.e., look-up table method, polynomial method, and so on.This research investigates the applicability of adaptive filtering architectures for digital predistortion techniques in nonlinear amplifiers. The adaptive method is required for a power amplifier because of variations in the power amplifier due to changes over time and temperature, or when the input signal power changes. In this thesis, the predistortion compensator is constructed using memory polynomial structure with indirect learning algorithms. The Saleh’s PA model is considered to describe the AM/AM and AM/PM conversion. By using the power amplifier input and output signals, the adaptive post-inverse filter is learning to train the filter weights. Several adaptive learning methods are investigated, i.e., (1) complex least means squares algorithm (CLMS), (2) complex normalized least means squares algorithm (CNLMS), (3) complex recursive least squares algorithm (CRLS), and (4) complex kernel least means squares (CKLMS) algorithm, are adopted to achieve better performance in terms of convergence rate and quality of solution. The proposed techniques are verified using the QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, and DSSS modulation signal generation, respectively. The power spectral density plot, mean square error (MSE) and constellation plot are simulated by using Matlab/Simulink tool to verify the compensation performances.

CMOS process scaling leads to lower supply voltages and small-size devices. With transistors becoming smaller and smaller, chips really become a system with both analog and digital portions inside. Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are used to convert real world analog signals into digital representations. The pipelined ADCs are widely used in high speed and medium-to-high resolution applications, due to their optimal tradeoff between conversion speed and resolution. Most of the pipelined ADCs are implemented by switched-capacitor (SC) circuits, comprise opamps, analog switches, and capacitors. The linearity of A/D conversion is mainly determined by high dc gain of opamp and matching of capacitors. Any errors caused by the finite dc gain of opamp or capacitors mismatch, will degrade the output performance of the ADCs. In nanoscale CMOS technologies, the short-channel devices with the lower intrinsic gain and lower supply voltage make the design a high-speed and high-gain opamp becomes quite stringent, and produce a lot of power consumption. In addition to variances of the parameters, these parameters of nanoscale devices will be varied with device placement and the surrounding circuits. This makes some circuits that require a good match to work properly, such as the current mirror design becomes more stringent. As result of device parameters variations and process, supply voltage and temperature (PVT) variations, the circuit must be designed to cover the range of variations, resulting in additional power consumption. In nanoscale CMOS technologies, the performance of analog circuits can be improved by digitally assisted techniques, and will be verified as a very efficient way. So, it can greatly reduce the accuracy requirements of analog circuits. The research objects of this thesis is mainly to develop a robust, high-speed, high performance and low power consumption of ADC. It can overcome the influence of the process, voltage and temperature variations, and can scale down with the evolution of nanoscale technologies. A high speed switching opamp is with very short turn-on time, is developed to reduce power consumption. The digital background calibration is developed to correct the A/D conversion errors caused by the low dc gain of opamps and capacitors mismatches. The digital bias technique monitors the settling behavior of opamp by the acquired calibration data and automatically adjusts bias currents in opamps, such that the settling behavior of opamps can be maintained without excessive current consumption. The digital bias circuits are used to replace the conventional bias circuits, produces the required bias voltages in analog circuits. Both external bias sources and current mirrors are not required, hence the matching requirements can be reduced significantly. The digital bias techniques are insensitive to fluctuations of PVT variations. Therefore, the design margins for each bias current of opamps can be further reduced on a chip by chip, reduction of power dissipation, chip area and a higher yield in mass production can be achieved. However, the digital bias techniques can track the operating frequency to produce appropriately bias voltage, thus the power consumption is proportional to operating frequency. As a result, the ADC which operates in different frequency applications as reconfigurable, is with minimal power consumption. To demonstrate the above techniques, a 10-bit pipelined ADC was designed and fabricated using a 65 nm CMOS technology. Operating at 300~MS/s sampling rate, the ADC consumes 26.6~mW from a 1~V supply and occupies die area of 0.36~${\text{mm}}^2$. It achieves a signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) of 55.4 dB and a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 67.2 dB. According to the proposed techniques, the performance of the ADC could be maintained under various environmental changes.

The great challenge of existing watermarking methods is their limited resistance to the extensive geometric attacks. Geometric attacks can be decomposed into two classes: global distortion such as rotations and translations and local distortion such as the StirMark attack. We have found that the weakness of multiple watermark embedding methods that were initially designed to resist geometric attacks is their inability to withstand the combination of geometric attacks. In this thesis, the watermark is used in the gray-scale authentication image, and a robust image watermarking scheme is proposed that can withstand the geometric attacks through using local tri-mesh feature points. Our proposed method can re-synchronize the attacked images and is independent of the embedding and authentication process. The geometric invariant scheme is combined with the complementary modulation embedding strategy to enhance the resistance of geometric attacks. The experimental results verify that the proposed scheme is excellent for geometric attacks.

This thesis proposes a digital image sequence stabilization system based on optical flow techniques. The system includes three major modules 1) motion estimation, 2) motion extraction, and 3) motion correction. First, in motion estimation module, we employ the optical flow technique to obtain the local motion vector field. The outputs of optical flow estimation are the velocity vectors corresponding to every pixel in the current image frame. There could be many inaccurate motion estimations in the motion estimation procedure because optical flow techniques are rather noise sensitive. The motion extraction module makes use of a new version of Hough transform, which acquires field motion vector in terms of parameter space of the image field. The motion parameters to be estimated for the current image frame are angular velocity, and horizontal and vertical translational motion relative to the previous frame. Then the motion extraction module plays the role of extracting the most possible motion parameters. The motion estimation module can produce very precise field motion vectors. Finally, the correction module integrates the field motion vectors and performs the de-motion of correcting the residue shake motion, including translation and rotation as well.

Digital images transferred in the internet maybe be modified by hackers. In this paper, we propose a new self-embedding image watermark to do the error detection and self-recovery of the modified images to improve the image qualities. In the embedding procedure, we use a key-dependent basis transform to transfer an image from the spatial domain into the frequency domain. The basis has arranged so that the number of zero crossing increases with the row number. The similar neighboring-block-direction-codes and the approximation of an original image are extracted and embedded them into the image in the frequency domain. After all, we get an image which is embedded with the recovering data. The embedded image maybe tampered by the attackers. After attack, we need to improve the quality of modified image. In the recovery procedure, we use the secret key to generate the basis which is the same as embedding procedure. Use the key-dependent basis, the approximation and the block-direction-codes can be extracted from the modified image. We can use them to detect error regions of the modified image and use the similar neighboring-block-direction-codes to help us recover the error regions. The experimental results have shown that the proposed self-healing method can detect and recover the error regions and improve the qualities of modified images.

As the techniques of creating augmented reality become more advanced, there is an increase in its use to create engaging digital teaching materials or a more efficient e-Learning environment. Recently, most relevant applications are limited to marker-based augmented reality techniques. However, markerless augmented reality techniques are more flexible and not limited by the use of markers, providing a broader range of applications. Visual tracking techniques is a critical core technique of augmented reality, and its use is often affected by the four factors of environmental lighting, image angle recognition, image resolution and image texture recognition. On the other hand, in a “markerless augmented reality e-Learning system”, the complexity and moving speed of the tracked object will also strongly affect tracking recognition. Only with high quality object identification and tracking abilities will the learners recognize objects and move them as they wish when operating the system, making it more applicable for its purpose. The purpose of this thesis is to provide recommendations on the use of augmented reality techniques to create digital learning material and e-Learning environments, and to analyze limiting factors in tracking techniques currently employed in “markerless augmented reality e-Learning systems”. We also recommend to apply object tracking techniques for real-time tracking in which object speed has reduced effects on tracking ability. The methods that this study suggests will be able to raise the practicality and popularization of markerless augmented reality systems on a technical basis. On the basis of application, the methods will also allow people to understand the relevant issues in the creation of augmented reality digital learning materials and e-Learning environments. For example, when applied to the military equipment maintenance in the army of Taiwan, such digital learning schemes can effectively reduce personnel training time and costs, helping to improve maintenance quality and hence the performance of military equipments. When applied to training schemes of military tactics, the contents can be made dynamic to increase learners’ motivation and interest.

In nowadays society, we pay much attention to a variety of copyright protection issues and the emphasis on personal information. Digital watermarking technology is the most widely used encryption technology in the field of multi-media and medical information. In this thesis, we redesign a wavelet-based digital watermark to Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to achieve the purpose of protection of patient rights. Certain hidden data for personnel identification are embedded into specified low-frequency coefficients of its wavelet transform according to different quantization sizes using the quantization approach. In addition, since the proposed watermark scheme is not reversible, we evaluate the impact of watermarking to the PQRST complexes of the ECG signal in which we conclude that the impact is small and the watermarked data can meet the requirement of physiological diagnostics. In order to measure the robustness of our scheme, three attacks including noise, resampling, and low-pass filter are adopted to test the watermarked ECG data. The experimental result verifies that the proposed scheme is slightly robust than DCT- and FFT-implemented quantization watermarking techniques after testing with ECG signals from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database.

Nonlinear power amplifiers play an important role in wireless communication systems. The general signal will be distorted after passing through the amplifier, such as spectrum spread, amplitude distortion and constellation offset. The signal is not accurately received, so pre-distortion of the nonlinear power amplifier is a necessary technique. The predistortion compensator is constructed by using the memory polynomial, and the predistortion compensator is trained by the adaptive learning algorithm. In the thesis, a positive definite function called regenerative kernel is used to derive the theory of Reproduction Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS). This theory can nonlinearly map input data to high-dimensional feature spaces. If the adaptive operation is to be performed in the RKHS space, it can be directly expressed as the inner product of the projection vector. Based on this method, various adaptive learning methods are analyzed in the paper. (1) complex kernel least mean squares algorithm (CKLMS), (2) complex kernel normalized least means squares algorithm (CKNLMS), amd (3) complex kernel recursive least squares algorithm (CKRLS). Use Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) as the input signal. The kernel function uses a Gaussian kernel and a polynomial kernel. The linearization effect is presented in the form of a constellation diagram and a spectrogram, respectively. According to these adaptive learning training algorithms, the difference between good and bad is analyzed, and the best linearization algorithm in the proposed method is compared.
