본 논문에서는 음소인식기와 음소결합확률모델을 이용하여 전화음성을 대상으로 입력음성이 어느 나라 말 인지를 식별할 수 있는 언어식별시스템을 구현하였고 성능을 실험하였다. 시스템은 음소인식기로 입력음성에 대한 음소열을 인식하는 과정, 인식된 음소열을 이용하여 인식대상 언어별 음소결합확률모델을 생성하는 훈련과정, 훈련과정에서 생성된 음소결합확률모델로부터 확률 값을 계산하여 인식결과를 출력하는 식별과정으로 구성된다. 본 논문에서는 음소결합확률모델로부터 우도를 계산할 때 정보이론(Information Theory, Shannon and Weaver, 1949)을 이용하여 가중치를 적용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 시스템의 훈련 및 실험에는 OGI 11개국어 전화음성 corpus (OGI-TS)를 사용하였으며, 음소인식기는 HTK를 이용하여 구현하였고 음소인식기 훈련에는 NTIMIT 전화음성 DB를 이용하였다. 실험결과 11개국어를 대상으로 45초 길이의 음성에 대해서 평균 $74.1\%$, 10초 길이의 음성에 대해서는 평균 $57.1\%$의 인식률을 얻을 수 있었다.

For the target tracking in cluttered environment using a bistatic sonar whose transmitter and receiver are separately positioned, it is necessary to use data association algorithm via applying a proper measurement modelling to the bistatic sonar. The measurements obtained from the interval of ownship's maneuver have an increased error due to uncertainty of the position of transmitter and receiver. Using the measurements from this interval results in poor target tracking performance. In this paper, an improved tracking performance for the proposed data association based multiple model algorithm is validated by a monte carlo simulation.

We have investigated on the development of 2-2 type piezocomposites that have better piezoelectric activity and lower acoustic impedance than those of conventional piezoceramics. In this study, we have investigated the piezoelectric and acoustic properties of 2-2 type piezocomposites sensor which was fabricated using dice-and-fill technique for the different volume fraction of PZT. The specific acoustic impedance of 2-2 type piezocomposites decreased linearly when PZT volume fraction was decreased. The resonance characteristics measured by an impedance analyzer(HP4194A) were similar to the analysis of finite element method (FEM). The resonance characteristics and the electromechanical coupling factor were the best when the volume fraction PZT was 0.6. It also showed the highest result from the standpoint of sensitivity, bandwidth and ring-down property and so on at the same condition. The specific characteristics show that the 2-2 type piezocomposites turned out to be superior to the ultrasonic sensor composed by single phase PZT.

In this paper, we present a method that automatically generates concatenate morpheme based language models to improve the performance of Korean large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. The focus was brought into improvement against recognition errors of monosyllable morphemes that occupy 54% of the training text corpus and more frequently mis-recognized. Knowledge-based method using POS patterns has disadvantages such as the difficulty in making rules and producing many low frequency concatenate morphemes. Proposed method automatically selects morpheme-pairs from training text data based on measures such as frequency, mutual information, and unigram log likelihood. Experiment was performed using 7M-morpheme text corpus and 20K-morpheme lexicon. The frequency measure with constraint on the number of morphemes used for concatenation produces the best result of reducing monosyllables from 54% to 30%, bigram perplexity from 117.9 to 97.3. and MER from 21.3% to 17.6%.

This paper proposes the H∞ norm based data association gate method to apply robustly the data association gate of passive sonar automatic target tracking which is on non-linear targets in dense cluttered environment. For target tracking, data association method selects the measurements within validated gate, which means validated measuring extent, as candidates for the data association. If the extent of the validated gate in the data association is not proper or the data association executes under dense cluttered environment, it is difficult to maintain the robustness of target tracking due to interference of clutter measurements. To resolve this problem, this paper proposes a novel gating method which applies H∞ norm based bisection algorithm combined with 3-σ gate method under Gaussian distribution assumption and tracking error covariance. The proposed method leads to alleviate the interference of clutters and to track the non-linear maneuvering target robustly. Through analytic method and simulation to utilize simulated data of horizontal and vertical bearing measurements, improvement of data association robustness is confirmed contrary to the conventional method.

This paper describes an acoustic communication receiver structure, which is designed for QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) signal with 25 kHz carrier frequency and 5 kHz symbol rate, and takes samples from received signal at 100 kHz sampling rate. Based on the described receiver structure, optimum design parameters, such as number of taps of FF (Feed-Forward) and FB (Feed-Back) filters and forgetting factor of RLS (Recursive Least-Square) algorithm, of joint equalizer are determined to minimize the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of the joint equalizer output symbols when the acquisition data in shallow water using implemented acoustic transducers is decimated at a rate of 2:1 and then enforced to the input of receiver. The transmission distances are 1.4 km, 2.9 km, and 4.7 km. Analysis results show that the optimum number of taps of FF and FB filters are different according to the distance between source and destination, but the optimum or near optimum value of forgetting factor is 0.997. Therefore, we can reach a conclusion that the proper receiver structure could change the number of taps of FF and FB filters with the fixed forgetting factor 0.997 according to the transmission distance. Another analysis result is that there are an acceptable performance degradation when the 16-tap-length simple filter is used as a low-pass filter of receiver instead of 161-tap-length matched filter.

물 속에 만들어진 공기방울들은 각자 자신의 반지름에 반비례하는 공진주파수로 음파를 방출하며, 많은 공기방울들이 모인 공기방울 집단은 집단의 전체 크기에 반비례하는 집단 공진주파수를 가진다는 현상이 그동안 연구되어 왔다. 그러나, 수십, 수백 개의 유한한 개수를 가진 공기방울들의 음파방출 주파수 특성 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수중에 일차원 배열의 공기방울들을 발생시켜 공기방울들에서 나오는 음파방출 주파수를 측정하였다. 수중에 형성된 공기방울들은 그들 간에 거리 간격이 존재하므로 본 연구에서는 공기방울들 간의 상호작용이 변화한다고 간주한 유효 결합 조화진동자 모형을 새로이 만들어 해석하였으며, 실험값과 좋은 이치를 보여주었다.

초음파 흡수에 의한 단백질에서의 온도 변화 특성을 관측하기 위하여, 간단한 조직의 형태인 계란 흰자와 계란 흰자의 주성분인 물과 알부민 수용액을 시료로 선택하여, 초음파 흡수에 의한 온도 변화 특성을 물리 음향학적으로 관측하였다. 수 MHz의 초음파를 집속형 변환기에서 연속파의 형태로 시료에 투사하였을 때, 한정된 시료에서의 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 측정결과, 물과 알부민 성분에 의한 온도 증가 효과는 미미함을 알 수 있었다. 초음파 흡수에 의한 계란 흰자에서의 온도 변화는 단백질의 주성분인 알부민에 의한 효과보다는, 단백질을 구성하고 있는 각 성분들의 결합에 의한 효과가 큼을 알 수 있다. 이들 결과에 대한 이론적 검토로부터 초음파 흡수에 의한 인체내 온도 변화 및 부작용에 대한 초음파 강도의 안전기준의 토대 마련이 가능함을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서 는 muti-channel lattice 예측기를 사용하여 AP(affine projection) 알고리듬을 근사적으로 구현하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. Lattice 예측기의 예측 오차를 사용하여 TDL 필터 계수를 적응적으로 조정함으로써 AP 알고리듬을 근사화한다. 또한 전처리단으로 사용된 lattice 예측기를 TDL 필터와 결합함으로써 기존의 방법보다 계산량을 더욱 줄일 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘보다 적은 계산량을 필요로 하지 만 AP 알고리즘을 보다 근사적으로 구현할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

SEA method have been developed for prediction sound radiation power from vibration of machinery. In this study, sound radiation power was predicted from coupled structures by transmission of vibration, which composed of two plates welded at right angle. The predicted sound radiation power is agreement within 2 or 3 dB on octave band comparing with values obtained from direct measurements. Also, in order to prove the validity of this method in changes of sound radiation power associated with modifications to structures, rubber pad stuck on a plate. This result is agreement approximately within 3 or 5 dB.
