A minimally appropriate time delay of audio data processing is investigated for rendering virtual sound source direction in real-time head-tracking environment under headphone listening. Less than 3.7 degree of angular mismatch should be maintained in order to keep desired sound source directions in virtually fixed while listeners are rotating their head in a horizontal plane. The angular mismatch is proportional to speed of head rotation and data processing delay. For 20 degree/s head rotation, which is a relatively slow head-movement case, less than total of 63ms data processing delay should be considered.

Ultrasound Doppler Diagnostic System utilizes the Doppler effect for measurement of blood velocity. The sign of the Doppler frequency shift represents blood flow direction. Pulsed Doppler System uses Phase detector and zerocrossing method to produce simultaneous independent audio and velocity signals for forward and reverse blood flow direction in the time domain, had been fabricated. But time-domain analyzing such as audio evaluation and zerocrossing detection for instantaneous and mean frequency measurement doesn't, provide both an accurate and quantitative result. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt frequency domain technique to improve system performance. In this paper, we describe a unit which is composed of Pulsed Doppler System and real-time spectrum analyzer (installed TMS 32010 DSP Chip). This unit shows time-dependent spectrum variation and mean velocity of blood Signal.

Ultrasonic Doppler Diagnostic System utilizes the Doppler effect for measurement of blood velocity. The sign of the Doppler frequency shift represents blood flow direction. CW(Continuous-Wave) Doppler System uses quadrature detection and phase rotation method to produce simultaneous independent audio and velocity signals for forward and reverse blood flow direction in the time-domain, had been fabricated. But time-domain analyzing such as audio evaluation and zero- crossing detection for instantaneous and mean frequnecy measurement do not provide both an accurate and quantitative result. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt frequency-domain technique to improve system performance. In this paper, we describe a unit which is composed of CW Doppler System and real-time spectrum analyzer (installed TMS 32010 DSP Chip). This unit shows time-dependent spectrum variation and mean velocity of Blood signal.

A new multichannel blind deconvolution algorithm is proposed for speech mixtures. It employs unidirectional filters and normalization of gradient terms in the frequency domain. The proposed algorithm is shown to be approximately nonholonomic. Thus it provides improved convergence and separation performances without whitening effect for nonstationary sources such as speech and audio signals. Simulations using real world recordings confirm superior performances over existing algorithms and its usefulness for real applications.

호흡 연동 방사선 치료 시 사용되는 음성 유도 및 음성-영상 유도의 두 가지 호흡생체자기제어 방식이 호흡 재현성 및 선량에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 Medical College of Virginia (MCV)에서 획득한 19명의 폐암 환자에 대한 호흡 데이터를 이용하였다. 호흡 데이터는 총 5주간 1주 간격으로 자유 호흡, 음성 유도, 음성-영상 유도의 세 가지 형태로 획득하였으며 선량 평가는 MATLAB을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 자유 호흡의 경우에는 반복되는 치료에서 호흡재현성이 감소하여 CTV 선량이 약 30.0% 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 음성-영상 유도 방식을 이용할 경우 5주 후 CTV 선량이 20.0% 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 이는 환자가 영상을 통하여 자가호흡조절 능력이 향상되기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한 음성 유도만 사용할 경우에도 호흡재현성을 유지하는 데는 효과적임을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 잡음에 의해 열화된 오디오 신호를 가변 임계값을 이용한 적응 지각 필터를 사용하여 음질을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 적응 지각 필터는 신호 구간마다 달라지는 신호의 세기와 잡음의 영향 정도를 고려하여 임계값을 가변적으로 조정함으로써 잔여 잡음을 효과적으로 제어하는 방식으로 지각적으로 개선된 음질의 신호를 얻을 수 있다 제안한 방식은 잡음에 의해 열화된 오디오 신호를 주파수 영역으로 변환한 후 임계 대역 기반의 임계 대역 에너지 (Critical intensity energy)와 마스킹 영향이 고려된 청각 자극 에너지 (Excitation energy)를 계산한 다음, 지각 필터를 기반으로 한 적응 지각 필터 알고리즘으로 각 단계별 지각 필터 응답을 임계값으로 이용하여 가변 임계값이 재조정되는 단계를 결정하게 된다. 신호의 구간별 에너지 크기에 의한 잡음에 의해 열화된 정도의 차이를 가변 임계값을 이용하여 고려함으로써 잔여 잡음의 효과적인 제어가 가능하게 된다. 제안한 방법은 다양한 신호대 잡음비에서 열화된 오디오 신호를 입력으로 사용하였다. 입력 신호대 잡음비가 15dB, 20dB, 25dB와 30dB의 각각의 경우에 대하여 잡음대 마스킹비 (Noise-to-mask ratio, NMR)와 청감 테스트 (Mean opinion score, MOS Test)를 시행하였다. 그 결과, 잡음대 마스킹비의 개선 측면에서 각각의 경우에 대해 17.4dB, 15.3dB, 12.8dB, 9.8dB의 개선을 확인할 수 있었고, 청감 테스트의 개선 측면에서는 각각 2.9, 2.5, 2.3, 1.7의 개선된 음질을 확인할 수 있었다.

Background and Objectives: The influence of visual stimulus on the auditory component in the perception of auditory-visual (AV) consonant-vowel syllables has been demonstrated in different languages. Inherent properties of unimodal stimuli are known to modulate AV integration. The present study investigated how the amount of McGurk effect (an outcome of AV integration) varies across three different consonant combinations in Kannada language. The importance of unimodal syllable identification on the amount of McGurk effect was also seen. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-eight individuals performed an AV identification task with ba/ga, pa/ka and ma/ṇa consonant combinations in AV congruent, AV incongruent (McGurk combination), audio alone and visual alone condition. Cluster analysis was performed using the identification scores for the incongruent stimuli, to classify the individuals into two groups; one with high and the other with low McGurk scores. The differences in the audio alone and visual alone scores between these groups were compared. Results: The results showed significantly higher McGurk scores for ma/ṇa compared to ba/ga and pa/ka combinations in both high and low McGurk score groups. No significant difference was noted between ba/ga and pa/ka combinations in either group. Identification of /ṇa/ presented in the visual alone condition correlated negatively with the higher McGurk scores. Conclusions: The results suggest that the final percept following the AV integration is not exclusively explained by the unimodal identification of the syllables. But there are other factors which may also contribute to making inferences about the final percept.

Purpose: The ratio of the visually impaired is gradually increasing due to various causes such as natural aging, accidents, and environmental changes. Therefore, this study has two folds. Firstly, it aims to analyze the current satisfaction level with information facilities for the visually impaired. Secondly, it aims to examine the factors affecting the satisfaction with indoor information facilities. Through this study, it helps to identify problems of information facilities for the visually impaired and it works as a practical data for further improvements. Methods: For 50 visually impaired people, a telephone survey was conducted on the satisfaction with the braille blocks, braille signboards, braille information boards with tactile map, audio guide devices, and safety egress devices. Microsoft Excel and SPSS 26.0 were used for the analysis. Results: It was confirmed that the overall satisfaction with the indoor information facilities was very low. The more the visually impaired people recognized the installation standards, and the better the maintenance was, the higher the satisfaction. In the case of braille blocks and braille signboards, the effect of information transfer on satisfaction was relatively high. In the case of audio guide device and safety egress device, the standard suitability influenced satisfaction. Implications: The low level of satisfaction with the overall information facilities can impede visually impaired people from receiving practical help through the information facilities. Factors influencing the satisfaction level of each facility were identified, which makes it possible to prepare effective improvement measures.
