Anisotropic diffusion is designed based on additive noise model, but the form of speckled image is in multiplicative speckle model. To transform additive noise model into multiplicative speckle model, logarithmic transformation is then used. Our algorithm performs in log-domain. Finally, de-speckled image being in log-domain is converted into spatial domain by using exponential transformation. Simulated image as speckled image is performed with our algorithm to show and compare results with recent reports in term of both signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the equivalent number of looks (ENL). Also, real SAR image is performed to confirm results in term of ENL only. Results from our experiment are shown that de-speckled image can smooth out in homogeneous area and preserve edge in heterogeneous area.

To stabilize frequency oscillations, the active power controlled by superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) can be applied. In this paper, a new robust design of a frequency stabilizer equipped with SMES is presented. The frequency stabilizer is based on a second-order lead/lag compensator. To enhance the robust stability of the controlled system against uncertainties such as system parameters variations, various load changes etc., the multiplicative uncertainty is included in system modeling. As a result, the robust stability can be easily guaranteed in terms of the multiplicative stability margin (MSM). Control parameters of the frequency stabilizer are tuned by a tabu search, so that the desired damping ratio of the target inter-area mode and the best MSM are obtained.

Spectral peak track has relevance to this information and audio data type. Therefore, we use spectral peak track information as a speaker feature for change detection. The proposed method consists of three parts: data segmentation, feature generation based on spectral peak tracks analysis and change detection. We assume that the changing point exists at the breathing point, because these locations rely on sentence duration, speaking speed and style, and grammar. To evaluate the proposed method, we calculated the precision (PRC) and recall (RCL) for Korean broadcast news and compared these results with the BIC method for randomly selected segments.
