It is difficult to test a detection system in underwater acoustics channel environments. The system can be evaluated by using simulation analysis tool. In this paper, a simulation tool is proposed to analyze the effectiveness of underwater acoustics detection based on database for real environments. First, the underwater environment is built based on HYCOM underwater environment database. Then, a multipath characteristic is considered through calculating underwater acoustics propagation path/pressure based on the ray theory. Also, hydrophone thermal noise and underwater ambient noise are considered to reflect underwater noise characteristics.

In order to predict the performance and the usefulness of the narrow-band underwater acoustic measurement system at design stage, whose error variance is not clearly described, in this study a boundary equation to estimate the measurement accuracy is proposed based on the confidency as SNR variation. The boundary is presented as a function of SNR and the number of samples. In this paper, the measurement performance for narrow-band signal is simulated by the proposed boundary equation and the results are reviewed in the biased noise condition and separately in the background noise rejected condition.

This paper proposes a new stereophonic acoustic echo canceller to prevent impairments on the voice quality and to remove acoustic echo effectively appearing in stereo environment at the instant of abrupt change of the transmission room environment in teleconferencing system. In stereophonic acoustic echo canceller, the major defective problems are the large computational complexity of estimating echo path systems due to the long impulse response of the true echo paths and the performance degradation of echo canceller due to large correlation between dual stereo signals. Moreover, the change of the suboptimal solution for the echo canceller was considered as a critical deficient factor on to the performance of stereophonic echo canceller. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes pseudo stereophonic acoustic echo canceller using Hyper-plane projection algorithm, which shows the robustness to the environment change of the transmission room and the efficiency of computational complexity.

Since a variety of sound occur in same place and similar sound occurs in other places, the performance of acoustic scene classification is not guaranteed in case of insufficient training data. A Bag of Words (BOW) based histogram feature is foreseen as a method to overcome the problem. However, since the histogram features is made by using a feature distribution, the ordering of sequence of features is ignored. A temporal information such as periodicity and stationarity are also important for acoustic scene classification. In this paper, temporal features about a periodicity and a stationarity are extracted by using a recurrent quantification analysis. In the experiment, performance of the proposed method is shown better than other baseline methods.

This paper is on a new adaptive algorithm which can cancel the acoustic feedback signals in the digital hearing aids. The proposed algorithm uses the normalized LMS algorithm with decorrelators. By doing so, it can be reduced the autocorrelation for the voice signals. To analyze the convergence characteristics of the proposed algorithm, the simulations were carried out about various input signals. And we had compared the performances of convergence for this algorithm with the ones for the NLMS algorithm. As the results of simulations, it is proved that the feedback canceller adopting this algorithm shows about 5-10 dB more high SNR than the NLMS algorithm for the colored inputs.

Acoustic load generated by rocket propulsion system is one of major dynamic loads during lift-off phase so that it causes the structural failure and electronic malfunction of payloads. Acoustic loads can be greatly reduced by an appropriate acoustical design of nose faring structures. This paper deals with the acoustical design of the nose fairing structure for launch vehicle. It is well known that a honeycomb sandwich structure is a poor sound insulator because of its high specific stiffness. In this paper, the sound transmission characteristics of four kinds of honeycomb structures for noise fairing were investigated by means of numerical and experimental ways. In order to estimate transmission loss, infinite plate theory by Moore and Lyon and statistical energy analysis (SEA) method were used. The predicted results showed a good agreement with measured ones. These enabled us to determine a proper core material for nose fairing, which shows good sound insulation performance per weight.

일반적으로, 화상회의에서 화자의 위치를 검출하는 것은 음향 신호를 기반으로 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 물리적인 환경의 제약이나 화자 검출 시스템의 한계를 벗어나는 노이즈가 발생하는 경우에는 검출 시스템의 성능저하를 초래하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 음향 기반의 검출 시스템과 독립적으로, 혹은 상호 보완적으로 사용될 수 있는 영상 기반의 화자 검출 알고리즘에 대하여 제안하고자 한다. 화자의 위치에 관한 정보는 화상회의에 한층 사실감을 부여하는 3 차원 오디오 재생에 사용될 수 있다.

스테레오 음향 반향 제거기에서 발생하는 주요한 문제점들은 모노 환경에서와는 다르게 반향 경로 시스템의 긴 임펄스 응답으로 인한 느린 수렴속도와 원단화자 주위의 환경변화에 의한 최적해의 변화 등을 등 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해 본 논문은 전송실에서의 환경 변화에 의한 반향 제거 성능저하와 저속의 수렴속도 및 과다한 계산량의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 전송실의 환경 변화에 강인하고 계산량을 줄일 수 있는 Hyper-plane projection 알고리듬을 이용한 의사 스테레오 음향 반향 제거기를 제안한다.

A passive time-reversal technique can improve error performance of the underwater communication system by reducing influence of inter-symbol interferences, which is caused by a multipath channel response. The passive time-reversal communication system equipped with numerous receivers generally can obtain superior error performance since larger diversity gain can be obtained as the number of available received signal increased. In this paper, we analyze the optimal number and combination of receivers that can approximately achieve the best error performance when using the limited number of receivers. For this analysis, we use communication data collected during SAVEX15 (Shallow-water Acoustic Variability Experiment 2015) carried out in the south-western part of Jeju Island from May 14 to May 28, 2015. Analysis results show that there are depths of energy concentration due to the channel characteristics in which the underwater sound channel are present, and the passive time-reversal technique using the limited number of the receivers can derive near-optimal communication performance if the receivers for time-reversal processing are located at the depths where energy is concentrated.
