This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of using the spectral and the temporal octave-band order statistics for musical genre classification. In order to represent the relative disposition of the harmonic and non-harmonic components, we utilize the octave-band order statistics of power spectral distribution. Experiments on the widely used two music datasets were performed; the results show that the octave-band order statistics improve genre classification accuracy by 2.61 % for one dataset and 8.9 % for another dataset compared with the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and the octave-band spectral contrast. Experimental results show that the octave-band order statistics are promising for musical genre classification.

For musical genre classification, various types of feature vectors are utilized. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC), decorrelated filter bank (DFB), and octave-based spectral contrast (OSC) are widely used as short-term features, and their long-term variations are also utilized. In this paper, OSC features are extracted not only in the single-octave band domain, but also in the multiple-octave band one to capture the correlation between octave bands. As a baseline system, we select the genre classification system that won the fourth place in the 2012 music information retrieval evaluation exchange (MIREX) contest. By applying the OSC features based on multiple-octave bands, we obtain the better classification accuracy by 0.40% and 3.15% for the GTZAN and Ballroom databases, respectively.

충격소음(Impulse Noise) 측정 시 지그(Ear Simulator)가 자체적으로 음압측정에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 지그를 이용하여 실내에서 충격소음을 측정하였다. 측정의 신뢰성과 정확성을 확보하기 위해 마이크로폰과 지그에서 동일조건에서 동시에 데이터를 수집하였다. 추가로 헤드&토르소에서 실험을 실시하였다. 최대음압레벨과 1/3옥타브 밴드 결과를 비교분석함으로써 측정 방법에 따른 차이점을 발견하였다.

Time Stretched Pulse (TSP) is used for transmitting and analyzing the impulse signal over the designated spatial place. However, if transfer functions of transmitter and receiver are unknown, performance investigation of free field in temporal domain is barely possible due to the overlap between the direct and indirect signal from the space. Generally, the free field or hemi-free field is evaluated by the Annex A of ISO 3745 in which utilizing the inverse square law with one-third octave band signals. In this paper, the author performs analysis of free field via applying TSP with inverse square law and the results are compared with the one-third octave band signals. According to the analysis of deviation between the corresponding signal and inverse square law model, the proposed TSP method provides the comparable performance index to the one-third octave band signal with reduced measuring time. Provided that the pre-whitening can be implementable by employing the speaker and microphone transfer function, further analyses from TSP compression are able to be performed such as multipath separation from time domain data. The anechoic chamber used in this experiment is verified conformance with ISO 3745 for free field and hemi-free field condition for limited frequency of the signal.

In this paper, a novel genre classification algorithm is proposed for music recommendation system. Especially, to improve the classification accuracy, the band-pass filter for octave-based spectral contrast (OSC) feature is designed considering the psycho-acoustic model and actual frequency range of musical instruments. The GTZAN database including 10 genres was used for 10-fold cross validation experiments. The proposed multiple-octave based OSC produces better accuracy by 2.26% compared with the conventional OSC. The combined feature vector based on the proposed OSC and mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) gives even better accuracy.

This paper describes a method of musical frequency estimation using tree structured octave band filter banks and the constant Q spectral transform. The performances of the proposed method are compared with those of the conventional constant Q transform using FFT. The performances are evaluated by the estimated fundamental frequency, varying the bandwidth and the frequency resolutions. The results are as follows. With the same frequency resolution of the conventional constant Q transform using FFT, the proposed method gives the better time resolutions, thus, the limit of the processing bandwidth is removed. And, when the bandwidth and the frequency resolution are set high for more accurate results, the computational complexity of the proposed method is less than that of the conventional one.

Outdoor experimental study is presented the insertion loss caused by barrier considering discontinuous ground condition. Measurements ware made in 1/3 octave band over the frequency range 315 Hz~3150 Hz with the various geometry of the source, receiver and barriers. The frequency range of the interference pattern depends on the phase difference between path from the edge of barrier to receiver, and hence on the acoustical properties of the ground on the receiver side of the barrier. The insertion loss by barrier, in addition to diffraction, is shown to be dependent on the ground characteristic.

This paper reports the performance and the Algorithm of an 1/3-octave band spectrum control system. The system is developed to provide various required spectrums in a high intensity acoustic chamber. The required spectrums, which usually comes from launch vehicle specification, starts from 25㎐ band and ends 10,000㎐. Short settling time is required to guarantee the safety of test objects and reduce the amount of operating gas. (omitted)
