Acoustic OFDM is used for audible frequency band acoustic communication which employs loudspeaker as transmitter and microphone as the receiver antenna. Since acoustic OFDM can transmit about 1 kbps using 1600 Hz band. acoustic OFDM signal is inserted into the audio signal like music or speech, However. audio quality deteriorates definitely during the inserting process. This paper introduces a reason for audio quality deterioration and discuss how to reduce this phenomenon.

Acoustic Echo Cancellation(m) is very active research topic having many applications like teleconference and hands-free communication and it employs Double Talk Detector(DTD) to indicate whether the near-end speaker is active or not. However. the DTD is very sensitive to the variation of acoustical environment and it sometimes provides wrong information about the near-end speaker. In this paper, we are focusing on the development of robust DTD algorithm which is a basic building block for reliable AEC system. The proposed AEC system consists of delayless subband AEC and narrow-band DTD. Delayless subband AEC has proven to have excellent performance of echo cancellation with a low complexity and high convergence speed. In addition, it solves the signal delay problem in the existing subband AEC. On the other hand, the proposed narrowband DTD is operating on low frequency subband. It can take most advantages from the narrow subband such as a low computational complexity due to the down-sampling and the reliable DTD decision making procedure because of the low-frequency nature of the subband signal. From the simulation results of the proposed narrowband DTD and wideband DTD, we confirm that the proposed DTD outperforms the wideband DTD in a sense of removing possible false decision making about the near-end speaker activity.

This paper describes optimization methods of acoustic models in HMM-based continuous speech recognition. Most of the conventional speech recognition systems use the same number of Gaussian mixture components for each HMM state. However, since the number of data samples available for each state is different from each other, it is possible to reduce the overall number of model parameters and the computational cost at the decoding step by optimizing the number of Gaussian mixture components. In this study, we introduced the Gaussian mixture weight term at the merging stage of Gaussian components in the minimum description length (MDL) based acoustic modeling optimization. Experimental results showed that the proposed method can obtain better ASR accuracy than the previous optimization method which does not consider the Gaussian mixture weight term.

In this paper, it was performed the analysis on various intersection acoustic patterns for detection rate improvement of accident sound detection system : an acoustic pattern analysis on general traffic noise, an acoustic pattern analysis on engine noise, an acoustic pattern analysis on obstruct factors for accident sound detection system. There are remarkable differences between the acoustic patterns of traffic noise and accident sound, and we most consider the acoustic patterns when we compose the accident traffic detection system by acoustic because there is error range of 20[dB] according to the volume of traffic in intersection.

In this paper, we proposed the stereo-10.2channel blind upmix algorithm for the enhanced 3D sound. Recently, consumers want to enjoy better sound and the use of a various of multichannel configuration has been steadily improved. Thus, upmix algorithms have been researched. However, conventional upmix algorithms have the problem that distorts the spatial information of original source. To solve this problem and enhance the spatial sound quality, we proposed front and rear channel gain adjustment and 10.2 channel upmix algorithm for each additional channel. The listening test results show that it maintains spatial information of stereo input and enhances 3D sound effects unlike other conventional upmix algorithms.

As a part of development process of the COMS, an acoustic vibration test was performed in order to verify that the COMS is safe from the acoustic loads coming from the Ariane-5ECA launch vehicle when it is launched. In this paper, the acoustic vibration test preparation which was performed during the development of the COMS is explained, and through the evaluation of the test results, it was verified whether the COMS is safe from the acoustic load that the COMS will experience during the launch. Through detail evaluation of the acoustic loads on the solar array, Ka band communication payload antenna and feed, GOCI(Geo-Stationary Ocean Color Imager), MI(Meteorological Imager), it was confirmed that the COMS is safe from the acoustic loads from launch vehicle.

21세기에 새로운 분야로 대두되고 있는 가상현실은 많은 사람들의 흥미를 끌고 있다. 상상 속에서나 가능하던 일들을 현실감과 입체감을 통해 실제처럼 느낄 수 있게 해준다는 것이 가상현실의 가장 큰 매력일 것이다. 가상현실을 요하는 멀티미디어 기기들의 활발한 시장진출로 3D 효과를 가진 오디오/비디오의 하드웨어 구현이 불가피하다. 본 연구에서는 휴대용 기기들에서 실시간 3D 입체음향 효과를 얻을 수 있도록 하드웨어를 구성하였다. 기존의 입체음향 기술에서 사용되는 콘볼루션 방법은 계산량이 많기 때문에 실시간 구현이 어렵다. 그러나 제안된 방식은 FFT를 사용하여 주파수 영역에서 처리함으로써 계산량을 줄여 하나의 프로세서로도 실시간 처리가 가능하도록 하였다. 저가/저전력/소형화조건을 요구하는 휴대용 기기에서 3D 입체 음향 효과를 얻을 수 있는 것이다. DSP는 TI(Texas Instruments)사의 16비트 고정소수점(fixed-point) 프로세서인 TMS320C5416을 사용한다. 구현된 3D 입체음향 칩은 입체음향을 필요로 하는 휴대용 MP3 Player, 가전용 오디오/비디오 등에 응용될 수 있다.

Phase variance of the acoustic signals has to be investigated with the research of the medium, because the phase of the acoustic signals carries the information of the medium. The phase compensation of the received signals is required for the signal processing of SAS (Synthetic Aperture Sonar) and underwater communication. In this paper, the phase variance of the acoustic signals was studied depending on the micro-scale-turbulence of ocean. The turbulence strength of the locally isotropic and homogeneous turbulence was calculated, and the phase variance affected by the turbulence strength was computed along the ray paths. The CTD and ADCP data were acquired from a buoy system near the Mukho port in the East Sea of Korea and the ray paths were calculated by the Bellhop algorithm. As a result, the turbulence strength was mainly determined by the variation of temperature and flow speed, changing the phase variance of the received signals. Hence, we thought the phase variance should be considered in the sonar operating system.
