Digital technology has been applied to marine seismic survey to develop data processing technology and multi-channel marine seismic survey. In result, high-resolution marine seismic survey ended in a success. Surveys are conducted for various purposes using various frequencies of acoustic sources. A low frequency source is used for deeper penetration and a high frequency source is used for higher resolution survey. In this study, a multi-source system was used for multi-channel marine seismic survey to acquire seismic sections of both low and high frequencies. Variations of depth of penetration and resolution would be used to achieve more accurate analysis of formations. In this study, the multi-source system consists of Bubble Pulser (400 Hz) for low frequency source and Sparker (1.5kHz) for high frequency source.

본 논문은 수중 음향을 이용하여 다중경로(Multipath) 환경에서의 해저면 설치 수신기의 3차원 위치 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 해저면 설치 수신기의 위치 추정을 위해 기준 음원의 위치와 음원과 수신기 사이의 수평거리를 사용하며, 수평거리 산출 시 다중경로의 영향을 고려하기 위해 음선 이론 모델을 사용하여 음원과 수신기 사이의 수평거리를 추정한다. 또한 특이치 분해법(Singular Value Decomposition estimator; SVD)을 사용하여 설정된 3차원 위치 추정 문제의 최적해를 추정하며, 이를 사용하여 동해 해상 실험 자료를 분석한다. 논문의 연구 결과 제안된 해저면 설치 3원 위치 추정 알고리즘은 다중경로 환경에서도 좋은 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있다.

When measuring the radiating noise of an underwater moving source, the range information between the acoustic source and the receiver is an important evaluation factor, and the measurement standards such as a receiver position, a moving source depth and a speed are set. Although there is a method of using the cross correlation as a method of finding the range of the underwater moving source, this method requires a time synchronization process. In this paper, we proposed the method to estimate the range by comparing the Doppler frequency difference of the theoretically calculated multipath signal with the Doppler frequency difference of the multipath signal estimated from the received signal. The proposed method does not require a separate time synchronization process. Simulations were performed to verify the performance, and the ranging error of the proposed method reduced by about 95 % than that of the conventional method.

Various methods of enhancing the performance of passive range sonar arrays have been discussed, triangulation, wavefront curvature method etc. But they are not appropriate to the methods because of very low SNR in underwater environment. We made appropriate sub-arrays in a linear array and applied to the beamformers such as a minimum variance with null constraints.

본 논문에서는 오디오 신호의 특성 표현에 유용한 nonnegative matrix factorization(NMF)에 대해 설명하였으며, expectation maximization (EM)을 이용한 NMF 파라미터 추출 및 EM-NMF 기반한 오디오 소스 분리 기술에 대해서 설명했다. 또한, 다중 단계 NMF-EM 구조의 객체 분리를 통해서 객체 분리 성능을 향상시키기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하며, 제안된 알고리즘은 K-pop 음원과 SDR(source distortion ratio)를 통해서 객체 분리 성능을 평가한다. 성능 평가 결과 제안된 알고리즘은 다중 단계를 통해 약 3dB 의 보컬 분리 성능이 향상되며, 상업적 음원 제작에서 사용되는 가상 오디오 효과가 많이 적용된 음원에서 약 5dB 의 분리 성능을 향상시켰다. 그러므로 제안된 방식은 오디오 객체 분리에 유용한 방법이 될 것으로 생각된다.

This paper proposes a new nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method for multiple sound sources using a dual microphone array. First of all, sound signals coming from the dual microphone array are segmented into consecutive analysis frames, and a steered-response power phase transform (SRP-PHAT) beamformer is applied to each frame so that stereo signals of each frame are represented in a time-direction domain. The time-direction outputs of SRP-PHAT are stored for a pre-defined number of frames, which is referred to as a time-direction block. Next, In order to estimate DOAs robust to noise, each time-direction block is normalized along the time by using a block subtraction technique. After that, an unsupervised NMF method is applied to the normalized time-direction block in order to cluster the directions of each sound source in a multiple sound source environments. In particular, the activation and basis matrices are used to estimate the number of sound sources and their DOAs, respectively. The DOA estimation performance of the proposed method is evaluated by measuring a mean absolute error (MAE) and the standard deviation of errors between the oracle and estimated DOAs under a three source condition, where the sources are located in [$-35{\circ}$, 5m], [$12{\circ}$, 4m], and [$38{\circ}$, 4.m] from the dual microphone array. It is shown from the experiment that the proposed method could relatively reduce MAE by 56.83%, compared to a conventional SRP-PHAT based DOA estimation method.

Long-range communication in deep waters must overcome the low data rate due to limited bandwidth. This paper presents the performance of Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system to increase the data rate. In MIMO system, communication performance is degraded by crosstalk between users and an adaptive passive Time Reversal Processing (TRP) is widely used to eliminate this. In October 2018, long-range underwater acoustic communication experiment was conducted in deep water (1,000 m ~) off the east of Pohang, South Korea. During the experiment, a vertical line array was utilized and communication signals modulated by binary phase shift keying and quadrature phase shift keying with a symbol rate of 512 sps were transmitted. To generate MIMO communication signals, received signals from ranges of 26 km and 30 km is synthesized. Compared to the conventional passive TRP, the adaptive passive TRP eliminates the crosstalk between users and achieves error-free performance with an increase of output signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, two users separated by 4 km in range achieves an aggregate data rate of 1,024 symbols/s.

In this paper the performance of a array invariant method is evaluated for source-range estimation in horizontally stratified shallow water ocean waveguide. The method has advantage of little computationally effort over existing source-localization methods. such as matched field processing or the waveguide invariant and array gain is fully exploited. And. no knowledge of the environment is required except that the received field should not be dominated by purely interference This simple and instantaneous method is applied to simulated acoustic propagation filed for testing range estimation performance. The result of range estimation according to the SNR for the underwater impulsive source with broadband spectrum is demonstrated. The spatial smoothing method is applied to suppress the effect of mutipath propagation by high frequency signal. The result of performance test for range estimation shows that the error rate is within 20% at the SNR above 10dB.
