The proposed method divides the input image into several blocks. Then, it calculates the multi-mapping functions corresponding to each block using convex optimization process between the image quality and power consumption. Using the multi-mapping function, the proposed method adjusts the mapping function and calculates the output image using the bilinear interpolation. In the experimental results, the proposed method improved the local contrast, and increased the enhancement performance measure and sharpness by up to 57.8% and 41.9% compared to benchmark methods.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"61 1","pages":"725-726"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77863828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, with the nonlinearity considered in the system's model, a suitable criterion which takes into account both the nonlinearity's sector and slope bounds is employed to establish its global stability condition. The result is then incorporated into the existing H∞ synthesis in the controller/loop filter design. The searches are expressed in terms of convex linear matrix inequalities which are computationally tractable. To illustrate the improvement introduced via this approach, several numerical examples are included with comparisons over conventional linear approximation methods.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"380-383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76871652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the cascading process, links can be critical for the propagation of failures. Then It is possible that switching off some links may help the network improve its robustness. In this paper, with the consideration of both the electrical characteristics and complex network structure, we try to assess how the robustness of the IEEE 118 Bus can be improved by switching off a set of transmission links. An evolution algorithm is applied to achieve the optimal performance. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can effectively relieve the damage to the power system caused by cascading failures at a low cost.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"163 1","pages":"54-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80320426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, we present a case study that executes the SBST program under Linux kernel on an ARMv5-compatible processor system.

Recently, scan-based attacks using a scan chain inside an LSI chip is reported which can restore secret information by analyzing the scan data during cryptographic processing. In this paper, we pick up a scan-based attack method against a Trivium cipher, one of synchronous stream ciphers, and evaluate it using the FPGA platform called SASEBO-GII. We implement the Trivium cipher on the FPGA chip and perform the scan-based attack against it. We demonstrate that the scan-based attack can successfully restore the secret information in the FPGA chip within several minutes, even if the FPGA chip contains several circuits other than the Trivium cipher circuit, which reveals that the scan-based attack against the Trivium cipher is not only a simulation threat but a real threat.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"220-223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81833221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ambient light could create a DC offset or signal with specific frequency range. Thus, we propose analog filters design in the VLC Analog Front-End (AFE) receiver that can eliminate the ambient light noise. The proposed design uses DC offset removal, incorporated with automatic and manual adjustment mode. In automatic mode, we design the analog filter using High Pass Filter (HPF) which have fc = 10Hz; meanwhile, in manual mode we design a reference circuit using potentiometer and differential amplifier for direct current blocking. For reducing signal interference from lamp flickering, the proposed design uses Band Stop Filter (BSF) which has fc = 100Hz. The experimental results, both simulation and realtime, show that our proposed design can reduce signal interference and ambient light. We also test the design using PWM and BPSK modulation to evaluate Bit Error Rate (BER) performance.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"581-584"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86580974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Example learning-based approaches can provide plenty of image details by using trained dataset. Regression-based methods reduce the memory storage size by training mapping functions instead of using a huge dictionary. The reconstructed image quality can be further enhanced by combining various prediction results. This work presents an effective model reconstruction method for enhanced predictions. The desired model can be constructed offline when using the local multi-gradient level pattern as the clustering feature. Applying the proposed schemes can further improve the quality of reconstructed high resolution image while retaining almost the same time complexity as the original solution. Experimental results exhibit that the quality of reconstructed image using the proposed schemes is very close to that of Yang's work, but the proposed one can operate much faster than his solutions. Moreover, the space for storing mapping functions can be dramatically reduced by using the proposed model combining method.","PeriodicalId":6495,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"156-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86027096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
