It is very difficult to monitor the blind spots that are not recognized by traditional surveillance camera (CCTV) systems, and the surveillance efficiencies are very low though many accidents/events can be solved by the systems. In this paper, the fuzzy logic based sound source localization system using sound strength in the underground parking lot is suggested and the performance of the system is analyzed in order to enhance the stabilization and the accuracy of the localization algorithm in the suggested system. It is confirmed that the localization stabilization of the localization algorithm (SLA_fuzzy) using the fuzzy logic in the suggested system is 4 times higher than that of the conventional localization algorithm (SLA). In addition to this, the localization accuracy of the SLA_fuzzy in the suggested system is 29% higher than that of the SLA.

One of the widely accepted methods for evaluating the interior sound quality of automobiles is Articulation Index(AI). The AI actually measures the articulation level of the sound in the vehicle cabin as passengers talk to one another. In this study, the effect of two different absorption materials inside the cabin on AI has been investigated by ray-tracing method : one is firewall, the other is celling. It turns out that the back seat location is found to be strongly dependent on the type of absorption materials treated at the celling, since the sound absorbing area is different due to the location and the firewall is situated in the "Reverberation Radius". The proposed methdo could be used to improve the sound quality of automobiles at the design stge.sign stge.

Serial Music, introduced by A. Sch nberg, is a one of the important composition techniques. This music style has features of pantonality and atonality, so it generates unique atmosphere of modern music. In this paper, we introduce an method of generating serial music using mathematical algorithm. This method generates music that satisfy the requirement that the number of pitches belonged to each pitch class are exactly same, though the requirement is less strict than Sch nberg's definition. To do this, our method uses space-filling curves traversing the twelve tone matrix, which is constructed by the serial series, its inversion and its transpose. Using these curves, we can generate a music that has all notes in the matrix exactly once and adequate repeatness because of the curve's locality. Result music, therefore, can be more suitable for people that are not familiar with modern music, while maintaining the features of pantonality and atonality. This paper also introduces a method of generating extended serial music that uses serialism of duration and dynamic of notes, using multi-dimensional space-filling curves.

음장 재생기는 인공잔향기의 일부로 알려져 있었으나 실제로는 다른 접근 방법이 필요하다. 인공잔향기의 용도가 대체로 무향에 가까운 음원에 인공잔향을 가해주는 것이라면, 음장 재생기는 청취자에게 넓은 공간감을 위해 이미 잔향이 가해진 음원에 초기반사음만을 가해주기 때문이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 음장재생기는 모사하고자 하는 공간의 충격응답에서 직접음 대비 반사음의 세기를 조절하여 sound coloration을 줄이고, 초기반사음의 패닝을 이용하여 넓은 공간감을 효과적으로 재생한다. 또한 본 음장재생기는 ITDG, LEF, Stage width, Room size, Liveness 등의 객관적 인자들을 조정할 수 있기 때문에 원하는 공간의 모사뿐 아니라 가상공간의 크기와 느낌을 변화시킬 수 있다.

합성음의 자연성은 운율(prosody)과 관계가 있으며, 운율은 지속시간(duration), 세기(intensity), 피치(pitch)의 3가지 요소가 어우러져 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 한국어 여성 음에 나타나는 지속시간 패턴을 분석하여 지속시간의 규칙을 정리함을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 각 음소(자음, 모음)의 고유 지속시간과 단어내의 음절 위치, 인접음소의 영향, 구와 절의 경계의 영향에 따른 지속시간의 변화를 조사하여 지속시간 규칙을 정립하였다 청취 실험 결과, 본 지속시간 규칙이 합성음의 자연성을 향상시켰다는 것을 보여준다.

Recently a slat type ceiling is widely used in various spaces, such as music performance spaces and concourse of airport and a general reception area of a building. However, it is hard to find a proper design guideline or material useful in designing such spaces, due to the lack of relevant researches on the effect of a slat ceiling on room acoustics. The present work investigated the effect of a slat type ceiling using a physical scale model method. A 1/20 scale model of a small shoe-box type music performance hall was built and a slat ceiling with different configurations was installed. 6 cases of different ceiling configurations were considered with the combination of 2 slat ceiling height cases and 3 distance cases between slats. The effect of a slat ceiling on the acoustics of a room was evaluated by measuring reverberance($T_{30}$), intelligibility and clarity($D_{50}$ and $C_{80}$), and loudness(G and $G_{80}$).

The binaural beat is a subjective beating phenomenon due to the frequency difference of sounds heard in both ears, sensed by the human brain. The beating magnitude physically depends on the amplitudes of the two signals with slight different frequencies. Therefore, the binaural beat strength is expected to be affected by the difference in left and right hearing ability. In this study, 34 healthy subjects without hearing loss were chosen. They hear a pure tone sound (450 Hz) at 10 different Sound Pressure Levels (SPLs) (from 50 dB to 27.4 dB) through the one side of ears, while they hear the reference sound (440 Hz, 50 dB) through the other side of ears. Their subjective assessment using a semantic differential method reveals that the binaural beat strength decreases as SPL differences between the two sides of ears increases, if the difference is greater than 2.2 dB. The result suggests that the hearing loss difference between the two sides of ears should be less than 2.2 dB to maximize binaural beating effects.

In this study, we analyzed the beam time series of ocean reverberation which was conducted in the eastsouthern region of East Sea, Korea during the August, 2015. The reverberation data was gathered by moving research vessel towing LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) source and triplet receiver array. After signal processing, we analyzed the variation of ocean reverberation level according to the seafloor bathymetry, source/receiver depth and sound speed profile. In addition, we used the normalized data by using cell averaging algorithm and identified the statistical characteristics of seafloor scatterer by using moment estimation method and estimated shape parameter. Also, we analyzed the coincidence of data with Rayleigh and K-distribution probability by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results show that there is range dependency of reverberation according to the bathymetry and also that the time delay and the intensity level change depend on the depths of source and receiver. In addition, we observed that statistical characteristics of similar Rayleigh probability distribution in the ocean reverberation.

본 연구에서는 해양의 기초 생산자인 잘피 (Zostera marina)의 후방산란 특성을 일주기 동안 관측 하였다. 해상 실험은 2004년 2월 $25\~29$일 기간 중 남해 동대만에서 실시 하였다. 그랩(Grab)을 이용하여 해초지의 입도를 분석 하였으며 주파수별 산란 특성을 고려하기 위해서 17, 30, 50, 80, 100, 그리고 120kHz 음원을 해초지에 수직 지향하여 주, 야간 잘피의 후방 산란을 측정하였다. 실험 환경 분석을 위해 파고와 조석 및 잘피의 생체량(biomass)측정을 실시 하였다. 광합성 시 해초지에서 발생되는 산소 공기는 해수에 의해 용존 되거나 산소 가스 형태로 존재하게 된다. 이들 공기 방울에 의해서 형성되는 공기 방울 층은 음 세기의 감쇠를 야기 시킨다. 실험 결과 주, 야간 동안 음의 산란 강도 변화를 확인 하였다.
