In order to improve the performance of a speech recognition system in the presence of noise, we propose a noise robust front-end using two-channel speech signals by separating speech from noise based on the computational auditory scene analysis (CASA). The main cues for the separation are interaural time difference (ITD) and interaural level difference (ILD) between two-channel signal. As a result, we can extract 39 cepstral coefficients are extracted from separated speech components. It is shown from speech recognition experiments that proposed front-end has outperforms the ETSI front-end with single-channel speech.

Non-contact judgment and evaluation for products are increasingly needed along with a rapid environmental change in fashion that sows urgency in the need to implement services that allows users to judge and experience a tactile sense in a fashion product without actual contact. Technological development is required to provide users with syn-aesthetic experiences that integrate the visual, tactile and the auditory. There is also a need to conduct research to increase immersion that provides users with ICT-related experiences communicated through fashion images. The study analyzed demands for haptic communication technology by Korean users in immersive VR fashion product shopping. Accordingly, it defined haptic communication through literature research, investigated immersion in the VR environment and conducted in-depth interviews for haptic communication applicable to VR shopping. Findings show that hedonic reactions by fantasy, emotion and fun function are an important motive in selecting VR shopping. VR fashion product shopping steps were divided into 4: move to store, search in store, search of product and purchase based on offline store shopping experience. It defined the haptic communication by steps and analyzed the types of the haptic feedback to be implemented. The study results provide basic data for developing haptic communication technology that can enhance e a sense of the presence and immersion experiences that can help lay a groundwork for pilot studies on the convergence of the virtual and the real.

In the breeding colony of black-tailed gull, as nests of conspecific neighbors are very closely located, chicks are permanently exposed by sound and visual stimuli produced by adult conspecifics approaching their nests. The chicks, therefore, may need to learn ways to appropriately respond to their parents approach. In this study we experimentally manipulated sensory stimulation that is potentially provided by the parents to the offspring. Chicks incubated in the laboratory were exposed to a mew call of the conspecific adult. Then they were tested in three situations differing in sensory stimulation: 1) visual stimulation only, 2) auditory stimulation only, and 3) Simultaneous visual and auditory stimulations. We observed occurrence of different response of the chicks, which were categorized into three behaviors (begging call response, chirirah call and pecking behavior). We also investigated intensity of the chicks call in response to the different stimulations and the degree of response with age. The chicks exposed to only auditory stimulation made significantly more chirirah calls. The intensities (dB) of the mew call and chicks chirirah call were directly correlated. On the other hand, when chicks just saw the stuffed adult gull, they responded significantly more with a begging call and pecking behavior. In the situation of costimulation, the chicks responded with a begging call and pecking, but less frequently than visual stimulation only. The results suggest that young black-tailed gulls use call repertories to properly respond to parents behavior. Such results suggest an evolutionary process for uncreasing their survival rate in a group breeding site.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the parents listening guidance program, which allows the parents to understand their hearing impaired children and how to listen at home, on the communication skills of the hearing impaired children. The research subjects were 3 hearing impaired children who did not accompany with the intellectual, emotional and behabioral problems, and the listening guidance has been performed for their parents for 3 months through the listening guidance program. The changes in the communication skills in the hearing impaired children were observed comparing before and after the education. In the results, first, the receptive language skill of the hearing impaired children was improved after than before the parents listening guidance. Second, the expressive language skill of the hearing impaired children was improved after than before the parents listening guidance, too. Third, in the communication behavior of the hearing impaired children, the phonation and the speech production were increased together with the gesture after the parents listening guidance. In conclusion, it is deemed that the parents listening guidance program would have positive influence on the communication behavior of the hearing impaired children.

잡음이 존재하는 환경 하에서 음성인식을 실시하는 경우, 잡음을 제거하고 음성을 강조하는 시스템이 필요하다. 따라서 우수한 스펙트럴 분석기강인 인간의 청각계를 모의하는 것은 음성강조에 있어서 효과적이다. 이러한 것을 구현하는 하나의 방법으로서 상호억제라고 하는 청각기강을 적응적으로 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 이것은 신경회로망에 의해서 잡음의 크기를 추정하여 각 프레임에 대해서 그 크기에 따라서 적응적으로 상호억제 계수와 진폭성분조정 계수를 조정함으로써 음성을 강조하는 방법이다. 스펙트럴왜곡율 척도의 평가로부터 백색잡음뿐만 아니라 유색잡음 및 자동차의 주행잡음에 대해서도 본 방식이 효과적이라는 것을 확인한다.

The world of linearity, which is regular, predictable and irrelevant to time sequence in most natural phenomenon, is a very small part. In fact, signals generated from natural phenomenon with which we're in contact are showed only slight linearity. Therefore it is very difficult to understand and analyze natural phenomenon with only predictable and regular linear systems. Due to these reasons researches concerning non-linear signals that of analysis were excluded being regarded as noise are being actively carried out. Countless signals generated from nonlinear system have the information about itself, and analyzing those signals and get information from it, that will be able to be used effectively in so may fields. Hence, in this paper we used a higher order spectrum, especially the bispectrum. After we prove the validity applying bispectrum to logistic map, which is typical chaotic signal. Subsequently by showing the result applying for actual signal analysis of EEG according to auditory stimuli, we show that higher order spectra is a very useful parameter in analysis of non-linear signals and the result of EEG analysis according to auditory stimuli.

This study investigates the characteristics of VR stores that emerged as new fashion communication media. Two case studies on Hyundai and eBay VR Department stores were conducted along with a discussion of the function and meaning of the fashion VR store. The results showed that both stores provide novel shopping experiences; however, the two were differentiated in terms of production method and technology implementation level. Functional aspects such as providing shopping efficiency and purchasing service was insufficient in both stores. Instead, they were complementing by means of product rotation, recommendation system, voice guidance, or linkage with an online shopping mall. In experiential aspects, both stores provided a strong sense of immersion. Hyundai VR store enhanced immersion with a high resolution image of a real offline store; however, it lacked in the ability to provide multisensory stimulation such as kinetic sense or auditory stimulation. The eBay VR Department store intensified the immersion experience by providing auditory stimulation as well as visual stimulation that enhanced the speed and distance sense through the utilization of animation. However, the extent of experience was limited in terms of agency and transformation because of the low interactivity found in both store systems.

계산적 청각 장면 분석 시스템의 특징 추출은 시간 연속성과 주파수 채널간에 유사성을 이용하여 청각 요소의 상관지도를 구성한다. 세그먼테이션은 상호상관계수 함수를 이용하여 2진 마스크를 구성하고, 마스크 성분 1(음성)은 동일한 주기성과 동기를 가진다. 그러나 채널간에 비슷한 주기성을 갖지만 지연이 있는 경우에 음성으로 잘못 결정되는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 세그먼테이션에서 가중치 상호상관계수를 이용해 채널간에 유사성의 변별력을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 계산적 청각 장면 분석 시스템의 음성분리 성능을 평가하기 위하여 배경 잡음(사이렌, 기계, 백색, 자동차, 군중) 환경에서 신호 대 잡음비(5dB, 0dB)의 변화에 따라 실험을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법과 제안한 방법과 비교한 결과, 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법에 비하여 각각 신호 대 잡음비 5dB에서 2.75dB 그리고 0dB에서 4.84dB 향상되었다.
