  • US Army Railroad Course Railway Track Maintenance II TR0671
    SUBCOURSE EDITION TR0671 1 RAILWAY TRACK MAINTENANCE II Reference Text (RT) 671 is the second of two texts on railway track maintenance. The first, RT 670, Railway Track Maintenance I, covers fundamentals of railway engineering; roadbed, ballast, and drainage; and track elements--rail, crossties, track fastenings, and rail joints. Reference Text 671 amplifies many of those subjects and also discusses such topics as turnouts, curves, grade crossings, seasonal maintenance, and maintenance-of-way management. If the student has had no practical experience with railway maintenance, it is advisable that RT 670 be studied before this text. In doing so, many of the points stressed in this text will be clarified. In addition, frequent references are made in this text to material in RT 670 so that certain definitions, procedures, etc., may be reviewed if needed. i THIS PAGE WAS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. ii CONTENTS Paragraph Page INTRODUCTION................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER 1.

  • Lecture 11 : Discrete Cosine Transform Moving Into the Frequency Domain
    Lecture 11 : Discrete Cosine Transform Moving into the Frequency Domain Frequency domains can be obtained through the transformation from one (time or spatial) domain to the other (frequency) via Fourier Transform (FT) (see Lecture 3) — MPEG Audio. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) (new ) — Heart of JPEG and MPEG Video, MPEG Audio. Note : We mention some image (and video) examples in this section with DCT (in particular) but also the FT is commonly applied to filter multimedia data. External Link: MIT OCW 8.03 Lecture 11 Fourier Analysis Video Recap: Fourier Transform The tool which converts a spatial (real space) description of audio/image data into one in terms of its frequency components is called the Fourier transform. The new version is usually referred to as the Fourier space description of the data. We then essentially process the data: E.g . for filtering basically this means attenuating or setting certain frequencies to zero We then need to convert data back to real audio/imagery to use in our applications. The corresponding inverse transformation which turns a Fourier space description back into a real space one is called the inverse Fourier transform. What do Frequencies Mean in an Image? Large values at high frequency components mean the data is changing rapidly on a short distance scale. E.g .: a page of small font text, brick wall, vegetation. Large low frequency components then the large scale features of the picture are more important. E.g . a single fairly simple object which occupies most of the image. The Road to Compression How do we achieve compression? Low pass filter — ignore high frequency noise components Only store lower frequency components High pass filter — spot gradual changes If changes are too low/slow — eye does not respond so ignore? Low Pass Image Compression Example MATLAB demo, dctdemo.m, (uses DCT) to Load an image Low pass filter in frequency (DCT) space Tune compression via a single slider value n to select coefficients Inverse DCT, subtract input and filtered image to see compression artefacts.
