The influence of the visual information on the sound perception would be considerable. Furthermore, if the sound perception ranges in noisiness or annoyance beyond the loudness, it will depend much more on the shape of the visual information. This paper aims to estimate the influence of the several kinds of visual information on the perception of road traffic noise by means of the psycho-acoustic test method. The findings of present study on the influence of visual information on subjective noise perception are summarized as follows: Presenting visual images of mild and comfortable scenery reduced the noise perception reaction at the less noisy environments not exceeding 65 dB(A). At highly noisy environments exceeding 65 dB(A), however, the noise perception can be reduced by strong image of waterfall. Even eliminating the road traffic image may be helpful. Visual image of waterfall reduced the noise perception at all levels. It is inferred that the road traffic noise perception can be effectively ameliorated by presenting strong and real landscape images at any noisy environment.

본 연구는 컬러이미지에서 특정 사운드를 연상하는 인간의 공감각적 기능을 모방하는 지능로봇의 개발을 최종 목표로 하고 있으며, 이는 컬러이미지와 사운드의 상호변환에 기초하여 이루어질 수 있다. 최종 목표의 첫 번째 단계로서, 본 연구는 컬러 이미지에서 사운드로의 변환을 이용한 기본 시스템의 구축에 초점을 맞추었다. 본 연구에서는 빛과 소리사이의 물리적 주파수 정보로부터 그 유사성에 기초하여 컬러이미지에서 사운드로 변환하는 방법을 제시한다. 컬러이미지에서 사운드로 변환하는 방법은 RGB-to-HSI 컬러모델 변환을 통한 HSI 히스토그램을 사용하고 Microsoft Visual C++을 이용하여 코딩함으로써 구현되었다. 두 가지 컬러이미지를 사용하여 시뮬레이션 실험을 하였고, 그 결과, 각각의 입력 컬러이미지의 색상(Hue), 채도 (Saturation) 및 명도 (Intensity)를 사운드의 기본주파수 (F0: Fundamental Frequency), 하모닉 (Harmonics) 및 옥타브 (Octave)로 각각 변환한다. 제안된 시스템을 통하여 변환된 사운드 요소들을 Csound를 이용, 합성함으로써 웨이브(wav) 파일 포맷 음원을 최종 생성하였다.

Animation is an art, which experiences through visual and auditory sense. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the theory of film sound can be also applied to animation sound. The study also aims to find out whether the mood and feeling of animation can be influenced by rhythm and fidelity of sound. To begin with, exampled a few animations and analyzed their sound base on the theoretical background of film sound and found out that influence of rhythm and fidelity of sound in animation is much more effective than in film. To find out the relationship between the changes of the mood according to different rhythm, I have applied the various rhythms of sound in a same sequential images. Result proved that the mood of animation was changed according to different rhythms that applied to animation. sound has a great ability of delivering the mood prior to images and different sound can change the overall feeling and mood of animation. Also proved that influence of fidelity of sound is much greater than rhythms of sound, especially in comic animation.

This study aims to derive the effect of road traffic noise perception by the visual and aural information through a laboratory experiment. To verify the result more precisely, ME(Magnitude Estimation) and SD(Semantic Differential Method) evaluation on the effect of visual and aural effect were carried out by 43 university students. As the result, up to 10% of psychological reduction effect was shown under the 65dB(A). As the noise level, it was analyzed that the vision affected about 7dB(A) and sound affected 5dB(A). However, if these two are given simultaneously, mainly sound affects to reduce the annoyance of noise and the vision next. Compared with the urban central circumstances, this effect(2dB(A) under 65dB(A) noise) was shown smaller than field test.

In this paper, we developed not only a reliable sound localization system including a VAD(Voice Activity Detection) component using three microphones but also a face tracking system using a vision camera. Moreover, we proposed a way to integrate three systems in the human-robot interaction to compensate errors in the localization of a speaker and to reject unnecessary speech or noise signals entering from undesired directions effectively. For the purpose of verifying our system's performances, we installed the proposed audio-visual system in a prototype robot, called IROBAA(Intelligent ROBot for Active Audition), and demonstrated how to integrate the audio-visual system.

Because of increasing numbers of cars many highways are being constructed lively, and the noise of passing cars has influenced surrounding areas. In consideration of this, some alternatives and researches for soundproof facilities are proceeding, but aesthetic approach hasn't been considered. Therefore, this research is focused on soundproof effects for each types, effectual simulation methods, visual assessment and estimation between the landscape before simulation and the landscape after. Soundproof facilities are divided largely by the soundproof barrier, the soundproof mounding, the soundproof grove. The soundproof grove has three main function. First, leaves and branches absorbs sound vibrations. Second, leaves absorbs sound, and branches obstruct sounds. Third, by means of sounds of shaking leaves, forest can offset noises. This research was proceeded by means of classification of soundproof grove types and investigation of visual simulation methods. We made visual simulation for each types, and estimated the landscape for each types.

타격감은 슈팅 게임이 가져야할 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 게임 개발자들은 시각(특수) 효과, 음향 효과, 진동효과, 애니메이션, 카메라 테크닉 등 다양한 기법을 사용하여 타격감을 높이려 노력해왔다. 이 논문은 이러한 다양한 기법들이 2D 슈팅게임에서 타격감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 실험 결과를 소개하고자 한다. 우리는 사용자를 대상으로 2 가지 실험을 수행하였는데, 첫 번째 실험은 발사체에 적용된 4 가지 효과(시각, 애니메이션(반동), 음향, 진동)에 대한 16 가지 실험 세트로 구성하였고 두 번째 실험은 발사체와 피사체 각각에 시각 효과와 음향 효과만 적용하여 마찬가지로 16 가지 실험 세트로 구성하였다. 실험 결과 모든 개별적인 기법은 모두 유의한 분석 결과를 나타내었으며, 시각 효과와 애니메이션보다는 음향 효과와 진동 효과가 더욱 효과적인 기법이고 발사체 보다는 피사체가 더 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

What does sound look like if we can see it? It might depend on the acoustic variables we want to see. In this article, we propose various ways to visualize or express sound field in much more intuitive manner. In particular, new visualization schemes that can effectively visualize sound intensity and 3D pressure field are proposed. This allows us to represent sound pressure, particle velocity and acoustic conductance at the same time, even in three-dimensional coordinate. Visualization examples corresponding to the proposed techniques show that we can successfully transfer the meaning of physical variable to visual space.

In this research, how the evaluation of the spacial image influenced by the environmental friendly elements included in the visual information, and how the selection of the sound changed depending on the characteristics of spatial image by the 40 subjects were carried out. Vast tracts of green land and the waterfront were highly preferred and impressive than the other spaces. The green music, signal with water sound and bird chirping sound were highly scored. In the frequency characteristics of the factors, the first factor was artificial sound(high at the low frequency band), the second was natural sound(uniform at all frequency band) and the third was water sound(high at the middle and high frequency band over 500Hz). This shows that the proposal of the sound which has the frequency characteristics fit to the spacial image should be selected for the soundscape of the target space.
