Musical genre is indispensible in constructing music information retrieval system, such as music search and classification. In general, the spectral characteristics of a music signal are obtained based on a subband decomposition to represent the relative distribution of the harmonic and the non-harmonic components. In this paper, we investigate the subband decomposition parameters in extracting features, which improves musical genre classification accuracy. In addition, the linear projection methods are studied to reduce the resulting feature dimension. Experiments on the widely used music datasets confirmed that the subband decomposition finer than the widely-adopted octave scale is conducive in improving genre-classification accuracy and showed that the feature-dimension reduction is effective reducing a classifier's computational complexity.

Thermal protection system structures such as double-panel structures are used on the skin of the fuselage and wings to prevent the transfer of high heat into the interior of an high supersonic/hypersonic aircraft. The thin-walled double-panel skin can be exposed to acoustic loads by high power engine noise and jet flow noise, which can cause sonic fatigue damage. In order to predict the fatigue life of the skin, the octave bandwidth SPL should be calculated as narrow bandwidth PSD or acoustic load history using interpolation method. In this paper, a method of converting the octave bandwidth SPL acoustic load into a narrow bandwidth PSD and reconstructed acoustic load history was investigated. The octave bandwidth SPL was converted to the narrow bandwidth PSD using various interpolation methods such as flat, log and linear scale, and the probabilistic characteristics and fatigue damage results were compared. It was found that average error of fatigue damage index by the log scale interpolation method was relatively small among three methods.

A high intensity progressive wave tube is installed at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) for acoustic environmental tests. The test facility has 700 mm x 800 mm cross-sectional area, and provides acoustic environment of 165 dB over the frequency range of $25Hz{\sim}10,000Hz$. The facility consists of a 6 m long acoustic wave tube, acoustic power generation systems, gases nitrogen supply systems, and acoustic control systems. This paper describes how the basic parameters of the facility and power generation systems are controlled to meet the requirement of the test. The shape and length of the tube has been designed by using the size of test objects and the wave propagation characteristics of the tube. The capacity of acoustic power generation systems is determined by the energy conversion of acoustic wave and the efficiency of acoustic modulators. Moreover, the paper introduces test run results of the tube. Overall of 163dB has been generated by using the test facility.

A high intensity acoustic test facility is constructed at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) by 2003. The reverberant chamber of the facility has a volume of 1,228 cubic meters and shall provide an acoustic environment of 152 dB over the frequency range of 25 Hz to 10,000 Hz. The facility consists of a large scaled reverberant chamber, acoustic power generation systems, gases nitrogen supply systems, and acoustic control systems. This paper describes how the basic parameters of a chamber and power generation systems are controlled to meet the requirement of the test. The volume of a reverberant chamber is controlled by the size of test objects and the reverberant characteristics of a chamber. The capacity of acoustic power generation systems is determined by the energy absorption of a chamber and the efficiency of acoustic modulators. Simple math is employed to calculate the required power of acoustic modulators. Moreover, the paper explains how the distribution of sound pressure level at low frequency is checked by analytical and numerical methods.

Recently, Impulse radars using UWB technologies are widely use for measuring distance, or for transmitting uncompressed high resolution videos. However, since the UWB band spans over octave bands, it is not easy to design such a system. Wide band impedance matching is required for antennas and other RF area. In this study, we designed and fabricated sinuous antenna for 3~6 GHz octave band application. We also designed and attached a dielectric lens to improved the directional gain of the antenna. The gain of the antenna was 6~10 dBi. The dielectric lens attached sinuous antenna was used to transmit HD video data. The maximum reach distance was 90 meter with 10mW power.

Vibration on the ship was generated mainly by main engine and propeller. The vibration which is generated from the ship has an effect on durability of ship's machinery and it also has an evil influence on the working conditions for crew. In this research, vibration measurement system to measure ship's vibration was built and vibration signals using acceleration sensors were measured from an accomodation space of training ship. An evaluation of vibration with regard to habitability was also discussed and the evaluation process followed the guidelines ISO6954:2000E.

자동차 오디오는 차량의 상품성에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 고급 차량일수륵 또한 젊은 층일수록 차량 구매시 선택의 기준이 되기도 한다 그러나 자동차 오디오는 크게 두가지 면에서 가정용 오디오와 차이가 있다. 첫번째는 청취공간이 매우 헙소하다는 것이고 둘째로는 주행시 차량소음이 차 실내로 유입되어 오디오 음질에 영향을 미친다. 차 실내는 즘은 공간 음향폭성으로 인한 음향 dip 현상이 발생하며 이는 오디오 음질의 왜곡을 가져오므로 이를 개선하기 위해서는 라우드스피커 최적배치 뿐 아니라 주행소음에 대한 시험 및 분석을 하여 오디오 음질에 영향을 주는 주파수 밴드를 파악하여야 한다 본 논문에서는 오디오 음에 차량소음이 섞인 경우에 대하여 차량의 라우드스피커 위치는 변경하지 않고 라우드스피커의 주파수 밴드별 출력을 디지털필터를 이용하여 수정하는 방법으로 음질 개선을 제안하였다. 디지털 필터의 보정치는 차량 주행소음 특성과 차 실내 음향특성을 고려하였다. 차량소음을 섞은 주파수 옥타브 밴드 분석법을 이용한 객관적인 분석과 감성적 분석법인 NCB곡선으로 차량소음을 분식하여 디지털 필터 보정치를 구하는데 사용하였다. 제안한 9가지 디지털 필터를 이용하여 차량소음과 음악을 합성하였고 이중에서 좋은 음질에 대한 판정을 하기 위해 Scheffe가 제안한 7점 주관 평가법을 사용하여 64명이 내린 주관평가를 수행하였다.

The objective of this study is to propose the measurement system implementation method for the evaluation and measurement of the indoor-impulsive over 170 dB noise source. For the purpose of measuring impulse noise, design and implementation constructed followed subsystems of the testing center, microphone, ear simulator, head and torso simulator and so on. Measurement systems for the accuracy and reliability of impulse noise are implemented when measuring 3 ways of measurements method by the simultaneous measurement system design. For the accuracy and reliability of three mutually indoor-impulse noise measurements were compared, three kinds of measuring methods in accordance with the peak sound pressure level and octave band. Comparing the results of data, the indoor-impulse noise by analyzing a frequency characteristic was validated in difference for the statistical significance. Result are determined by the influence of the reflected wave. Therefore, the flexible size of the interior test site while interior impulse noise measurement system was constructed. Throughout this system can be affected by parameters that are the impulse noise source and the corresponding frequency-characteristic analysis to determine the spectrum of the reflected wave. And, in the near future, indoor impulse noise measurement systems for acquisition and analysis are utilized in useful data.

In this study we suggested a digital filter method to enhance car audio sound quality against the sound distortion due to cabin's acoustic characteristics and car driving noises. The digital filters designed were based on the characteristics on car driving noises and cabin acoustic characteristics. Car driving noises were analyzed by two ways; one is an objective method, octave band frequency analysis method. The other is a subjective method; sensory evaluation method, NCB method. On these results, seven sets of modified coefficients of eleven band digital filters were obtained. To find optimum audio sound quality among nine sound samples filtered by designing seven types of digital filters, which were mixed car driving noises at 100km/h, subjective evaluation method was used, paired comparison method; Scheffe' seven point method.

Noise measurements were performed by distance for major construction equipment. especially, For construction equipment that large width of variations is depending on the type of work, noise measurements were performed by the detail type of work. For a time of quiescent and construction, "A" compensation equivalent noise level (Leq) were measured. Most of the construction equipment and the characteristics of the point source appears to be similar in analyzed noise measurement results.
