As the music streaming service and the Hi-Fi market grow, various audio devices are being released. As a result, consumers have a wider range of product choices, but it has become more difficult to find products that match their musical tastes. In this study, we proposed a system that extracts the vocal component from the user's preferred sound source and recommends the most suitable audio device to the user based on this information. To achieve this, first, the original sound source was separated using Python's Spleeter Library, the vocal sound source was extracted, and the result of collecting frequency band data of manufacturers' audio devices was shown in a grid graph. The Matching Gap Index (MGI) was proposed as an indicator for comparing the frequency band of the extracted vocal sound source and the measurement data of the frequency band of the audio devices. Based on the calculated MGI value, the audio device with the highest similarity with the user's preference is recommended. The recommendation results were verified using equalizer data for each genre provided by sound professional companies.

An increasing in quantity of multimedia data brought a new problem that expected data should be retrieved fast and exactly. The adequate representation is a key element for the efficient retrieval. For this reason, MPEG-7 standard was established for description of multimedia data in 2001. In this paper, we designed a Audio/Image Retrieval System based on MPEG-7 that can retrieve multimedia data like audio, image efficiently. And we integrated high-level and low-level schemas to retrieve datas for users.

Recently, we extract the representative melody of the music and index the music to reduce searching time at the content-based music retrieval system. The existing study has used MIDI data to extract a representative melody but it has a weak point that can use only MIDI data. Therefore, this paper proposes a representative melody retrieval method that can be use at all audio file format and uses digital signal processing. First, we use Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and find the tempo and node for the representative melody retrieval. And we measure the frequency of high value that appears from PCM Data of each node. The point which the high value is gathering most is the starting point of a representative melody and an eight node from the starting point is a representative melody section of the audio data. To verity the performance of the method, we chose a thousand of the song and did the experiment to extract a representative melody from the song. In result, the accuracy of the extractive representative melody was 79.5% among the 737 songs which was found tempo.

In this paper, we research the content-based analysis and classification according to the composition of the feature parameters pool for the auditory signals to implement the auditory indexing and searching system. Auditory data is classified to the primitive various auditory types. we described the analysis and feature extraction method for the feature parameters available to the auditory data classification. And we compose the feature parameters pool in the indexing group unit, then compare and analysis the auditory data centering around the including level and indexing criterion into the audio categories. Based on this result, we composit feature vectors of audio data according to the classification categories, then experiment the classification using discrimination function.

With commencing trial 3D digital broadcasting, the studies on next generation digital broadcasting technology for coming UHDTV era is being actively progressing. In this paper, I propose surround audio formats for next-generation digital TV broadcasting, along with comparative study of major surround audio formats in use or under development. I did comparative study on current major competing surround formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS HD MA, along with NHK proposed 22.2 channel surround format for UHDTV system. Upon this comparative study and our housing situation consideration, I propose lossy compression 3D surround 7.1 channel surround format along with loosless 2.0 and 4.0 hi-fi format as next generation digital TV broadcasting standard. In lieu with this, I also propose transmitting binaural 2 channel audio data as sub-audio. It will give holographic sound experience when properly processed with individual HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) with headphone. The table for data rate of each proposed audio format is also presented.

This paper propose a hardware architecure of multimediasysgem for integrated processing of the multimedia data such as audio and video, and describes on the design and implementation of multimedia integrated processing Unit. The unit comprises most commonly needed multimedia processing function for computer-based video conference: audio-visual datacapture, playback, compression, decompression as well as interleaving/disinterleaving of compressed audio-visual data. The proposed architecture minimizes the CPU overhead that might be caused by multimedia data processing and assures the fluent data flow among system components. Also, this unit is tested and analyzed under the computer-based video conference to confirm the multimedia unit of proposed architecture using communication protocol and application software through Ethernet and FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) networks.

Audio seganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages that evolves as a new secret communication method. And audio steganography is similar to the process of modifying the Least Significant Bit of image files 8th LSB layer embedding has been done for desired binary messages. The effective of steganographic tools is to obtain imperceptible and robust way to conceal high rate of secret data. The objective of this paper is to propose a method for hiding the secret messages in safer manner from external attacks by modified LSB technique and encryption rearrangement key.

Audio steganography is quite similar to the procedure of modifying the least significant bit(LSB) of image media files. The most widely used technique today is hiding of secret messages into a digitized audio signal. In this paper, I propose a new method for hiding messages from attackers, high data inserting rate is achieved. In other words, based on the LSB hiding method and digitized to change the bit position of a secret message, an encrypted stego medium sent to the destination in safe way.

Robustness, payload, and imperceptibility of audio watermarking algorithms are contradictory design issues with high-level security of the watermark. In this study, the major issue in achieving high payload along with adequate robustness against challenging signal-processing attacks is addressed. Moreover, a security code has been strategically used for secure transmission of data, providing tamper detection at the receiver end. The high watermark payload in this work has been achieved by using the complementary features of third-level detailed coefficients of discrete wavelet transform where the human auditory system is not sensitive to alterations in the audio signal. To counter the watermark loss under challenging attacks at high payload, Daubechies wavelets that have an orthogonal property and provide smoother frequencies have been used, which can protect the data from loss under signal-processing attacks. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm has demonstrated adequate robustness against signal processing attacks at 4,884.1 bps. Among the evaluators, 87% have rated the proposed algorithm to be remarkable in terms of transparency.

We propose an improved algorithm for detecting audio watermarks based on a spread spectrum in the spectral domain. Since the energy of a watermark is much smaller than that of the cover audio data, pre-processing to reduce the effect of the cover data is needed to reliably extract watermarks. We introduce a spectral envelope filter as a pre-process that enhances detecting performance by filtering out the intrinsic spectral character of cover data. The proposed watermarking structure can be easily included in the compression system and can extract watermarks from partially decompressed spectral data. Our experimental results demonstrate that with a bit error rate of around 10 dB against general attacks, the proposed detecting scheme works better than detectors without the spectral filter.
