본 논문에서는 양질의 규칙합성을 얻기 위하여, 유성음에 대한 여기신호로 임펄스 스펙트럼과 노이즈 스펙트럼을 다중대역으로 혼합하여 생성한 여기신호를 규칙합성에 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법에서는, 분석합성에서 각 프레임별로 요구되었던 혼합여기신호에 대한 정보량 문제를 해결하기 위해 유성음의 정상부분의 한 프레임에 대해 혼합여기신호를 구하여 규칙합성에 적용하였고, 정보량을 더욱 줄이는 방안으로, 켑스트럼 유클리디안 거리를 이용하여 유성음을 분류하여, 각 그룹에 대한 대표 여기신호를 규칙합성의 여기신호로 사용하였다. 제안된 방법으로 음성을 합성한 결과 양질의 합성음을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient method to enhance the quality of synthesized speech in HMM based speech synthesis system. The proposed method trains spectral parameters and excitation signals using Gaussian mixture model, and estimates appropriate excitation signals from spectral parameters during the synthesis stage. Both WB-PESQ and MUSHRA results show that the proposed method provides better speech quality than conventional HMM based speech synthesis system.

본 연구에서는 GAT(Geometry Acoustic Theory)를 이용한 표적신호 합성모델의 이론적 배경을 제시하고, 수치모델의 결과를 음향수조에서 축소표적 실험자료 결과와 비교한다. GAT에 의한 표적신호 합성모델은 3차원 해양환경에서 음원과 표적에 의한 음장을 적절히 묘사할 뿐만 아니라 표적 형상에 의한 효과를 정밀하게 계산함으로써 고 정밀도의 표적신호 합성을 가능하게 한다.

This paper presents a method which synthesizes asynchronous circuits from free-choice Signal Transition Graphs (STGs) with timing constraints. The proposed method synthesizes asynchronous circuits by analyzing: the relations between signal transitions directly from the STGs without generating state graphs. The synthesis procedure decomposes a free-choice STG into deterministic STGs which do not have choice behavior. Then, a timing analysis extracts the timed concurrency and tamed causality relations between any two signal transitions for each deterministic STG. The synthesis procedure synthesizes circuits for each deterministic STG and synthesizes the final circuit by merging the circuits for each deterministic STG. The experimental results show that our method achieves significant reductions in synthesis time for the circuits which have a large state space, and generates circuits that have nearly the same area as compared to previous methods.

A reflection signal in an active sonar using a high frequency is mainly formed of a specular reflection from the surface of an object along with several equivalent scatters inside, which are characterized by the spatial distribution of the highlight on the object. This study analyze the existing echo signal synthesis models eq, random distribution model, equivalent interval distribution model & MUTAHID(Modified Underwater TArget by HIlight Distribution) model for simulated target, and compare the characteristics of the reflected signal synthesis results for each model in various conditions. These highlight distribution models can be efficiently applied to the simulated target signals synthesis of various real systems requiring the echo signal synthesis on the underwater target.

In this paper, a method synthesizing speech signal using the 40 kHz ultrasonic signals reflected from the articulatory muscles was introduced and performance was evaluated. When the ultrasound signals are radiated to articulating face, the Doppler effects caused by movements of lips, jaw, and chin observed. The signals that have different frequencies from that of the transmitted signals are found in the received signals. These ADS (Acoustic-Doppler Signals) were used for estimating of the speech parameters in this study. Prior to synthesizing speech signal, a quantitative correlation analysis between ADS and speech signals was carried out on each frequency bin. According to the results, the feasibility of the ADS-based speech synthesis was validated. ADS-to-speech transformation was achieved by the joint Gaussian mixture model-based conversion rules. The experimental results from the 5 subjects showed that filter bank energy and LPC (Linear Predictive Coefficient) cepstrum coefficients are the optimal features for ADS, and speech, respectively. In the subjective evaluation where synthesized speech signals were obtained using the excitation sources extracted from original speech signals, it was confirmed that the ADS-to-speech conversion method yielded 72.2 % average recognition rates.

In this paper, we synthesized active sonar target signals based on highlights model, and then carried out target classification using the synthesized signals. If the target aspect angle is changed, the different signals are synthesized. To know the result, two different experiments are done. First, The classification results with respect to each aspect angle are shown. Second, the results in two group in aspect angle are acquired. Time domain feature extraction is done using matched filter and envelope detection. It shows the pattern of each highlights. Artificial neural networks and multi-class SVM are used for classifying target signals.

In this paper, we propose a new overlap and add speech synthesis method which demonstrates improved continuity performance. The proposed method uses a weighted phase error function and minimizes the wave discontinuity of the synthesis signal, rather than the phase discontinuity, to estimate the mid-point phase. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the continuity between the synthesized signals relative to the existing method.

The most commonly used method to generate sonar transmitting beam is extracting digital samples out of memory, which are to excite transducers of the phased array respectively. As several types of signals have been used in sonar to enhance the performance of sonar in various environments, a large amount of memory is required to store them. In this paper, we adopt recursive algorithm to synthesize every different time-delayed signal for transmitting beams with small amount of memory and simple arithmetic operations. The error due to recursive calculation is also analyzed.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 오디오 신호를 이용하여 음원을 분리하는 ADRess 알고리즘을 기반으로, 추정된 음원 방위각에 대한 신호 강도비를 이용하여 분리음원을 생성하는 새로운 분리음원 합성 기법을 제안한다. 입력된 스테레오 채널 신호 간 강도 차(IID) 특성을 이용하여 신호 분석 프레임별로 개선된 신호 강도비 함수에 따른 frequency-azimuth 평면을 구성하고, 이를 통해 추정된 방위각에 상응하는 신호 강도비로 표현되는 확률밀도함수를 좌/우 신호 중 하나의 주 입력 신호에 취함으로써 분리음원을 합성한다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 SASSEC 에서 제공하는 테스트 음원 및 객관적 평가 지표를 이용하여 측정한 결과, 기존 ADRess 알고리즘에서 제시된 방법에 비해 개선된 품질의 분리음원을 합성하는 것으로 평가되었다.
