본 논문에서는 최신 동영상 압축 기술인 H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding)에서 엔트로피 코딩 방법 중 하나로 사용되는 CABAC (Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding)의 하드웨어 구현과 부호화 처리율을 높이기 위한 알고리즘 및 구조를 제안한다. CABAC는 CAVLC에 비해 최대 15%까지 더 나은 압축효율을 낼 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있지만 연산의 복잡도는 훨씬 높아 진다. 특히 부호화 과정 중 데이터 사이의 의존도가 높기 때문에 연산과정의 복잡도가 더욱 증가하게 된다. 따라서 연산양을 줄이기 위한 다양한 구조가 제안되었으나, 여전히 데이터의 의존도에 의한 부호화에 latency가 존재하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이진 산술 부호화의 첫 단계인 확률 값을 계산하는데 필요한 range의 7, 8번째 비트를 빠르게 계산하는 구조와 부호화할 심벌이 MPS인 경우 부호화 단계를 한 단계 줄일 수 있는 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조를 적용하여, 6가지 시퀀스에 대하여 실험한 결과 기존의 구조에 비해 약 27-29%의 수행시간을 줄일 수 있었다. 또한 제안된 구조를 하드웨어로 구현한 결과 0.18um standard library에서 19K gate를 사용하였다. In this paper, we propose an efficient hardware architecture and algorithm to increase an encoding process rate and implement a hardware for CABAC (Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) which is used with one of the entropy coding ways for the latest video compression technique, H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding). CABAC typically provides a better high compression performance maximum 15% compared with CAVLC. However, the complexity of operation of CABAC is significantly higher than the CAVLC. Because of complicated data dependency during the encoding process, the complexity of operation is higher. Therefore, various architectures were proposed to reduce an amount of operation. However, they have still latency on account of complicated data dependency. The proposed architecture has two techniques to implement efficient pipeline architecture. The one is quick calculation of 7, 8th bits used to calculate a probability is the first step in Binary arithmetic coding. The other is one step reduced pipeline architecture when the type of the encoded symbols is MPS. By adopting these two techniques, the required processing time was reduced about 27-29% compared with previous architectures. It is designed in a hardware description language and total logic gate count is 19K using 0.18㎛ standard cell library.

본 논문에서는 새로운 고속 다중 참조 프레임 움직임 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 참조 프레임간의 거리와 움직임 벡터 간의 선형 관계를 이용하여 검색영역을 줄인다. 새로운 알고리즘은 0번 참조 프레임과 1번 참조 프레임에서는 전영역 움직임 추정을 사용한 후, 2번 참조 프레임, 3번 참조 프레임, 4번 참조 프레임에서는 0번 참조 프레임과 1번 참조프레임에서의 움직임 추정의 결과를 사용하여 검색 영역을 최소화 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 문턱값을 사용하지 않기 때문에 하드웨어 구현과 프로세싱 스케쥴을 지정하는 것이 용이하고, 많은 연산량을 줄일 수 있다. 이러한 몇 가지 특징으로 인하여 제안된 알고리즘은 다중 참조 프레임 움직임 추정기의 하드웨어 구현에 용이하다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 알고리즘의 PSNR 감소와 bitrate의 증가가 기존의 고속 다중 참조 프레임 움직임 추정 알고리즘에 비해서 좋은 성능을 나타내고 있고, 연산량은 기존의 5장의 참조 프레임을 사용하는 전영역 검색 방법에 비해서 52.5%의 감소를 나타낸다. This paper proposed a new fast multi-reference frame motion estimation algorithm. The proposed algorithm reduces search areas of motion estimation using a linear relation of motion vector with distance of each reference frame. New algorithm executes full search area motion estimation in reference frame 0 and reference frame 1. After that, search areas in reference frame 2, reference frame 3 and reference frame 4 are minimized by distance of each reference frame and results of motion estimation in reference frame 0 and reference frame 1. The proposed algorithm does not use a threshold value which is obstacle of hardware implementation and processing time schedule. Also, it reduced computation quantity of multi-reference motion estimation. Hardware implementation of multi-reference frame motion estimation is possible by these features. Simulation results show that PSNR drop and bitrate increase of proposed algorithm are lower than those of previous fast multi-reference frame motion estimation algorithm. The number of computation of new algorithm is reduced 52.5% and quality of result is negligible when compared with full search area motion estimation which has 5 reference frames.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to perform an aggregate human risk assessment for benzene in an industrial complex using the CalTOX model and to improve the reliability and predictability of the model by analyzing the uncertainty and sensitivity of the predicted assessment results. Methods: The CalTOXTM 4.0 beta model was used to evaluate a selected region, and @Risk 7.6 software was used to analyze uncertainty and sensitivity. Results: As a result of performing the aggregate risk assessment on the assumption that 6.45E+04 g/d of benzene would be emitted into the atmosphere over two decades, 3% of the daily source term to air remained in the selected region, and 97% (6.26E+04 g/d) moved out of the region. As for exposure by breathing, the predicted LADDinhalation was 2.14E-04 mg/kg-d, and that was assessed as making a 99.99% contribution to the LADDtotal. Regarding human Riskcancer assessment, the predicted human cancer risk was 5.19E-06 (95% CI; 4.07E-06-6.81E-06) (in the 95th percentile corresponding to the highest exposure level, a confidence interval of 90%). As a result of analyzing sensitivity, ‘source term to air’ was identified as the most influential variable, followed by ‘exposure time, active indoors (h/day)’, and ‘exposure duration (years)’. Conclusions: As for the results of the human cancer risk assessment for the selected region, the predicted human cancer risk was 5.19E-06 (95% CI; 4.07E-06-6.81E-06) (in the 95th percentile, corresponding to the highest exposure level, a confidence interval of 90%). As a result of analyzing sensitivity, ‘source term to air’ was found to be most influential.

This study aimed to develop a plan for effective performance of a watershed through correct identification of a river watershed by using the flowrate of the river and water quality data, which is the basis for the establishment of the water environment policy. The target river for water quality improvement was selected based on the monitoring result for 4 water systems in Chungcheongnamdo province in the recent 3 years. The result of analysis for the distribution of discharge capacity by a pollution source group for the water quality improvement target river showed that most of the target river has a high discharge capacity in the water system for living and livestock. Analysis for the density of the total discharge capacity of the whole watershed of Chungcheongnamdo indicated that the river that needs water quality improvement has high BOD concentration and high discharge load density at the point that this river is located. Thus, for efficient watershed management through selection and concentration, Chungcheongnamdo needs to improve the target river in priority. Stepwise planning is also required to establish and execute the water quality improvement in order to satisfy said target water quality, and establish the index for the water improvement rate for its evaluation.

Objectives: This study was performed to identify the epidemiological features of a food poisoning outbreak in a company cafeteria located in Chungcheongnam-do Province, Korea in June of 2020 and to suggest preventive measures for a similar incidence. Methods: A total of 84 patients with acute gastroenteritis were examined. Environmental samples were obtained from 16 food handlers, six food utensils, 135 preserved foods served over three days and nine menus, and six drinking water samples. These are analyzed to detect viruses and bacteria. Results: Ninety-four out of the 402 people who were served meals (23.4%) predominantly showed symptoms of diarrhea, and the number was over 3 times. Among the 84 patients under investigation, 17 cases (20.2%) were positive for Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and 18 cases were positive for Clostridium (C.) perfringens (21.4%). Based on the investigation, it was concluded that the main pathogens were EPEC and C. perfringens. For EPEC, it was detected in three of the food service employees and in the preserved food and curry rice. The results of pulsed field gel electrophoresis indicate that all EPEC cases are closely related except for one food service employee. Assuming that isolated EPEC originated from the preserved food, the incubation period is about 25 hours. The origin of the C. perfringens was not determined as it was not detected in the food service employees or environmental samples. Conclusions: This case suggests that food provided in group food service centers must be thoroughly managed. In addition, identifying the pathogens in preserved food is very important for tracing the causes of food poisoning, so food must be preserved in an appropriate condition. To prevent similar food poisoning cases, analyzing cases based on epidemiological investigation and sharing the results is needed.

Objectives: This study calculated local residents exposures to VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) released into the atmosphere using the CalTOX model and carried out uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis. The model validity was analyzed by comparing the predicted and the actual atmospheric concentrations. Methods: Uncertainty was parsed by conducting a Monte Carlo simulation. Sensitivity was dissected with the regression (coefficients) method. The model validity was analyzed by applying r2 (coefficient of determination), RMSE (root mean square error), and the Nash-Sutcliffe EI (efficiency index) formula. Results: Among the concentrations in the atmosphere in this study, benzene was the highest and the lifetime average daily dose of benzene and the average daily dose of xylene were high. In terms of the sensitivity analysis outcome, the source term to air, exposure time, indoors resting (ETri), exposure time, outdoors at home (ETao), yearly average wind speed (v_w), contaminated area in m2 (Area), active breathing rate (BRa), resting breathing rate (BRr), exposure time, and active indoors (ETai) were elicited as input variables having great influence upon this model. In consequence of inspecting the validity of the model, r2 appeared to be a value close to 1 and RMSE appeared to be a value close to 0, but EI indicated unacceptable model efficiency. To supplement this value, the regression formula was derived for benzene with y=0.002+15.48x, ethylbenzene with y ≡ 0.001+57.240x, styrene with y=0.000+42.249x, toluene with y=0.004+91.588x, and xylene with y=0.000+ 0.007x. Conclusions: In consequence of inspecting the validity of the model, r2 appeared to be a value close to 1 and RMSE appeared to be a value close to 0, but EI indicated unacceptable model efficiency. This will be able to be used as base data for securing the accuracy and reliability of the model.
