  • Recently, the development of digital transmission technology of audio signals and the introduction of audio network equipment using digital transmission technology have been made. As a result, audio network technology and equipment are actively applied to the design and construction of audio systems. The meeting room is a place where a large number of participants exchange opinions and communicate with each other. In addition to using an electric acoustic device such as a microphone and a speaker, it improves the intelligibility of the conference room through an example using an audio network.

  • In this paper, we propose an audio extraction method to decrease the influence of the original signal by modifying the watermarking detection system proposed by P. Bassia et al. In the extraction of the watermark, we employ a simple mean filter to remove the influence of the original signal as a preprocessing of extraction and the repetitive insertion of the watermark. As the result of the experiment, for which we used about 20 kinds of actual audio data, we obtain a watermark detection rate of about 95% and a good performance even after the various signal processing attacks.

  • The objective criterion is necessary to decide the signal for vehicle audio. In this time, the signals have decided by golden ear or some simple parameters. In this paper, we propose the system for sound quality assessment in the vehicle audio signals. The vehicle audio signals were recorded in many vehicles by same condition. From these signals, objective and subjective parameters were extracted and using these signals listening test was done. The function was estimated between three results by simple neural network system. The score of arbitrary signal can be estimated using the function made by three results. In this way, Sound signal quality is assessed objectively.

  • In this article, we propose and explore a novel step in the digitization of the mapping of the spent fuel pool of nuclear power plants, in which the audio signal from the operator's microphone is used to obtain the identification codes of those components that are in each of the cells of the pool. In this way, we have not only an acquisition system but also a verification system that can be used in combination with the outcome of the analysis of the video signal. We developed an algorithm that uses at its core one of the latest models of multilingual Automatic Speech Recognition to transcribe audio signal, and with a post-processing of the timed transcriptions we build the identification code of fuel heads and other components. Results show a very high accuracy in audios from real recording of Spanish nuclear facilities, and the methodology proposed is easily extensible to other nuclear facilities in the world.

  • In this paper, we propose VLC(visible light communication) based multi-hop multimedia data transmission system. The main contributions and features of the proposed system are as follows. First, the contribution of this research is to develope the LED communication based multi-hop transmission network system which can transmit multimedia data(audio data, video data) with long distance. Second, the developed system has the following features: In transmitter, audio data and video data are transmitted via multi-hops using two channels. The relay in audio channel receives digital audio signal by using photo diode and then transmits the signal to receiver after error checking and amplifying. The receiver receives the encoded audio data via photo diode and then converts to analog audio signal by using decoding and amplifying. The relay in video channel receives video signal by using photo diode and then amplify the video signal using OP-AMP and then transmits the signal to receiver. The receiver amplifies the received signal from photo diode and then sends it to the monitor. The performance evaluation of the proposed system is conducted in the laboratory with fluorescent light source. The results of the performance evaluation confirm that the system can provide high quality multimedia data transmission from transmiter to receiver via multi-hop relays in a long distance while we can see there are differences in the transmitted multimedia(audio and video) quality according to the used LED colors.

  • In this paper, a new adaptive audio signal enhancement algorithm is proposed. In order to remove a broadband noise from a noisy signal, a filter is designed and applied adaptively to noisy audio signal. The noisy signal is first transformed to frequency domain and divided into bark domain to calculate excitation energy. A filter will be calculated to eliminate the noise by using the excitation energy and noisy energy which is obtained from a silent area. The filter is adaptively adjusted and continuously applied until the threshold point is met. The algorithm also works well even though the noise's energy change all of a sudden. SNR, NMR comparison and MOS Test are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

  • Recently, there are serviced user customized advertisement of various type using smart device. Representative services are advertisement service using light of smart TV screen or audible sound of smart TV to transmit advertisement information. However, those services have to do a specific action of smart device user for advertisement information or need audible audio information of TV contents. To overcome those weakness, therefore, we propose an advertisement method using inaudible sound of speaker based on smart device. This method supports the transfer of advertising content to the smart device user with no additional action or TV audio signal required to access that content. The proposed method used two high frequencies among 18kHz ~ 22kHz of audible frequency range which smart TV can send out. And it generates those frequencies synthesized with audio of TV contents as trigger signal which can send advertisements to smart device. Next, smart device analysis the trigger signal and request advertisement contents related to the signal to server. After then, smart device can show the downloaded contents to user. Because the proposed method uses the high frequencies of sound signals via the inner speaker of the smart device, its main advantage is that it does not affect the audio signal of TV content. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed method, we developed an application to implement it and subsequently carried out an advertisement transmission experiment. The success rate of the transmission experiment was approximately 97%. Based on this result, we believe the proposed method will be a useful technique in introducing a customized user advertising service.

  • The Inter Communication System for avionics is in charge of processing all voice signals that internal calls between Pilot and Co-pilot, internal calls between Pilots and Crews, external calls through communication equipment such as Ultra/Very High Frequency Receiver/Transmitter(U/VHF RT), audio signal monitoring for navigation and mission equipment such as VHF Omnidirectional Range/Instrument Landing System(VOR/ILS), Tactical Air Navigation(TACAN), audio signal output for voice recording to Flight Data Recorder(FDR) and Data Transfer System(DTS), and warning/caution audio signal generate about the status and threat of aircraft. Because Inter Communication System for avionics is sensitive to noise in the case of analog audio signals, a redundant design that can protect audio signal from electromagnetic noise inside/outside of aircraft is required for the mission of pilots and crews. In this paper, Normal/Back-up operation mode and redundancy design plan based on digital method for the redundancy of the digital Inter Communication System for avionics and manufacturing, verification results are described.
