The equivalent source method (ESM) uses two groups of equivalent source positions. One group includes the first order images of the sound source inside the enclosure. The positions of the other group are usually on a spherical surface some distance outside the enclosure. A proper selection of the positions for the far field sources could greatly improve the performance of the modeling accuracy and reduce the number of the sources to achieve the required accuracy. This study uses optimally distributed far field source positions on the surface of enlarged version of the rectangular enclosure instead of using typical spherical distribution. Simulations using various sizes of the box shaped distribution are executed and optimal positions are searched using an optimization technique from the larger number of candidate positions. The results of using these far field source positions are compared and analyzed.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the prosodic characteristics of Korean distant speech. Four speakers (2 males and 2 females) produced 36 2-syllable words in both distant-talking and normal environments. totaling 288 spoken 2-syllable words. The results showed that ratios of second syllable to first syllable in vowel duration and vowel energy were significantly larger in the distant-talking environment compared to the normal environment and f0 range also bigger in the distant-talking environment. In addition, 'HL%' contour boundary tone in the second syllable and/or 'L+H' contour tone in the first syllable were used in the distant-talking environment.

홍채인식 기술은 개인의 신체적 특징들 중에서 고유한 특징을 가진 홍채 정보를 이용하여 사람을 인식하는 기술이다. 높은 인식 성능을 가지는 기술이지만 사용자의 적극적 협조를 요구하는 불편함과 같이 해결해야 할 문제점을 가지고 있다. 최근에 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 자연스러운 환경에서 홍채 정보를 획득하고 인식하는 원거리 홍채인식 기술 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 원거리 홍채인식 기술은 수 미터 이상의 거리에서 비강압적 방식으로 홍채영상을 획득하여 인식하는 기술이다. 본고에서는 이러한 배경을 토대로 원거리 홍채인식 기술의 현황 및 관련 이슈에 관하여 살펴보고자 한다.

3차원 공간상의 표적의 위치는 방위각, 고각, 거리의 세가지요소로 나타내어 질 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 등각적 선배열 센서로 이루어진 3개의 부분센서배열을 이용한 3차원 표적의 위치추정 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 원거리 표적의 방위각 추정 알고리듬으로 근거리 표적의 방위각을 추정하면 추정된 방위각은 실제 근거리 표적의 방위각과 고각과 거리의 비선형 대수적 관계식으로 주어진다. 제안한 알고리듬은 3개의 부분센서배열에서 각각 표적을 원거리에 있다고 가정하고 원거리입체각을 추정하여 위의 대수적 관계식을 얻은 후 이들 관계식을 연립하여 실제 근거리 표적의 위치를 추정하였다. 다중표적의 경우 각각의 부분센서배열에서 추정한 원거리입체각이 어떤 표적에 대한 추정치인지 연관시켜주는 알고리듬이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 추정한 원거리입체각의 모든 조합으로부터 3차원 MUSIC 스펙트럼값을 비교하여 그 중 표적의 개수만큼을 선별하여 다중표적의 위치를 추정하였다.

Based on correlation and least square method, a closed-form algorithm for estimating the location of mixed far-field and near-field source is presented using the Uniform Circular Array (UCA). Recently, for a homogeneous circular arrangement case, a correlation based closed-form algorithm is proposed to estimate 2-D angle (azimuth, elevation) and the extended algorithm is proposed to 3-D location (azimuth, elevation, range). These algorithms assume the far-field source or near-field source only. Therefore, for mixed source localization, the proposed algorithm estimates source location with the assumption of far-field source, and then estimates the range to distinguish the far-field from the near-field source. For both cases, numerical experiments have been performed, which confirmed the validity of the proposed algorithm.

This paper deals with the near-field to far-field calculation for far-field characteristics of antenna and electromagnetic compatibility(EMC) testing. Since the conventional EMC testing process is inefficient such as measurements of the wide band signals and mega structures, Stratton-Chu formula is used to predict the far-field emission by simple and direct process. The usefulness of Stratton-Chu formula is verified by comparing to the analytic solution of the uniform distribution aperture in free-space. In order to inspect the far-fields and to get the near-field values, full-wave simulation solver is utilized. Through the full-wave simulation about the patch antenna, calculated far-field results from Stratton-Chu formula are proven. The predicted magnitudes of the far-field are in error by less than 6 %.

Seismic fragility curves of structures represent the probability of exceeding the prescribed structural damage state for a given various levels of ground motion intensity, such as peak ground acceleration (PGA). This means that seismic fragility curves are essential to the evaluation of structural seismic performance and assessments of risk. Most of existing studies have not considered the near- and far-fault earthquake effect on the seismic fragility curves. In order to evaluate the effect of near- and far-fault earthquakes, seismic fragility curves for PSC box girder bridges subjected to near- and far-fault earthquakes are calculated and compared. The seismic fragility curves are strongly dependent on the earthquake characteristics such as fault distance. This paper suggests that the effect of near- and far-fault earthquakes on seismic fragility curves of PSC box girder bridge structure should be considered.

The service sector comprises two thirds of world GDP in 2005 and takes 20% of the world trade. As the technologies such as telecommunication technologies advance, the long-distance trades in services is expected to increase. But there are few empirical research on the flows of services between regions. This paper studies the pattern of flows of long-distance trades in services across the regions. Since it is very hard to collect reliable data on long-distance trade in services, we collect data from regional input-output tables of Korea. The results shows that the hard service which can be consumed spatially separated from production tends to have more long-distance trade than the soft service which is consumed simultaneously with production. It also shows that regional gross domestic production is important factor for the pattern of trades in services.

Far field input utterance is one of the major causes of performance degradation of speaker verification systems. In this study, we used teacher student learning framework to compensate for the performance degradation caused by far field utterances. Teacher student learning refers to training the student deep neural network in possible performance degradation condition using the teacher deep neural network trained without such condition. In this study, we use the teacher network trained with near distance utterances to train the student network with far distance utterances. However, through experiments, it was found that performance of near distance utterances were deteriorated. To avoid such phenomenon, we proposed techniques that use trained teacher network as initialization of student network and training the student network using both near and far field utterances. Experiments were conducted using deep neural networks that input raw waveforms of 4-channel utterances recorded in both near and far distance. Results show the equal error rate of near and far-field utterances respectively, 2.55 % / 2.8 % without teacher student learning, 9.75 % / 1.8 % for conventional teacher student learning, and 2.5 % / 2.7 % with proposed techniques.
