능동 소오나 시스템에서는 잔향음 제한 환경에서 표적 검출을 하기가 용이하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 고정된 노치 필터로 제거할 수 없는 시 불변성의 잔향음을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 적응형 잡음 제거기가 갖고 있는 단점을 보완하기 위하여, Gram-Schmidt 직교화과정을 전처리 기법으로 사용하였다. 아울러, 제안된 잔향음 기법을 동해에서 실측한 자료에 적용함으로써 그 성능을 검증하였다.

Recently, studies on reverberation suppression using Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) have been actively conducted. The NMF method uses a cost function based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence for optimization. And some constraints are added such as temporal continuity, pulse length, and energy ratio between reverberation and target. The tendency of constraints are controlled by hyperparameters. Therefore, in order to effectively suppress reverberation, hyperparameters need to be optimized. However, related studies are insufficient so far. In this paper, the reverberation suppression performance according to the three hyperparameters of the NMF was analyzed by using sea experimental data. As a result of analysis, when the value of hyperparameters for time continuity and pulse length were high, the energy ratio between the reverberation and the target showed better performance at less than 0.4, but it was confirmed that there was variability depending on the ocean environment. It is expected that the analysis results in this paper will be utilized as a useful guideline for planning precise experiments for optimizing hyperparameters of NMF in the future.

An active sonar is used to the navigation system or military purposes. In the active sonar one of the problems is a reverberation. The reflected signals from surface, bottom, and volume are received at receiver. This reverberation is an interference in the active sonar, and for the enhanced performance must be rejected. In this paper I study the method to reject the reverberation. The proposed method use the orthogonal property between the signal subspace and noise subspace in the eigen subspace. In the proposed method the noise subspace is calculated. I have performed the computer simulations to prove the performance of the proposed method.

Traditional adaptive noise cancelling methods rely their performance on various interfering parameters, such as convergence speed, tracking ability, numerical stability, relative frequency characteristics between target and reverberation signals, and activity of the target. In this paper, an adaptive noise cancelling method is suggested, which Provides a successful tradeoff mon these factors. It is designed to work on the transform domain, adopts the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process, and is implemented by the escalator algorithm. The transform domain approach supports a tradeoff between the convergence speed and numerical cost. The proposed method is verified by applying a real-data collected in the shallow waters off the east coasts of korea. It is shown that it has a good reverberation-rejection capability even for the target signal with adjacent frequency components to those of the reverberation, and its performance is invariant for the activity of the target.

In this paper, a post-processing algorithm to suppress reverberation for continuous-wave active sonar system is developed. The developed algorithm is designed for a low-doppler environment where the target echo is not distinguishable from the reverberation. The algorithm is developed based on overlapping nonnegative matrix factorization method. The algorithm analyzes the frequency characteristics of transmitting ping signal, then suppresses the reverberation using time-frequency characteristics of the received signal. Simulations performed in order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, and the results show that the proposed algorithm makes 6 dB signal-to-reverberation ratio enhancement in various reverberation energy conditions.

잔향음은 시변동성이 존재하는 유동성 경계면 잔향음(해수면, 체적)과 시변동성이 존재하지 않는 고정 경계면 잔향음(해저면)으로 분류된다. 그러나 고정 경계면 잔향음으로 알려진 해저면 잔향음에서도 단주기적 시변동성이 존재하고 있음이 여러 실측자료에서 관측되고 있다. 본 연구는 시변동성의 원인을 파악하고자 실험실에서 부유성 퇴적물의 농토에 따른 후방산란 신호를 측정하였다. 또한 동해에서 측정된 시간에 따른 잔향음신호(80kHz)와 ADCP(4.2MHz) 자료를 비교하여 천해에서의 체적 산란체의 변동이 잔향음 신호에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 아울러 본 논문에서는 잔향음 신호의 단주기적 시변동성에 의한 잡음 성분을 제거하여 표준화된 잔향음 신호를 획득하기 위한 방법으로 Low Rank Approximation(LRA)을 제안하였다. 이 기법은 특이해 분해(Singular Value Decomposition, SVD)를 수행하여 실측 자료 행렬로부터 고유치(Eigenvalue)과 고유벡터(Eigenvector)를 추출한 후, 추출된 고유치를 제한적으로 사용하여 근사화 하는 기법으로 시변동성 신호를 제거하는데 효율적인 방법이다.

잔향음 세한 환경에서 능동소오나를 운용시 잔향음은 표적탐지를 저해하는 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. 그러한 환경에서 잔향음을 효과적으로 제거하고 표적신호를 보존하기 위한 기법으로 priori estimation error를 사용하는 deterministic LSL(least squares lattice) 알고리즘을 적용하였으며, LSL 필터의 입력신호는 천해에서 고주파 센서를 이용하여 실측한 CW 및 FM 잔향음신호와 모의된 표적신호를 합성한 신호를 이용하였다. 모의 실험 결과 잔향음신호는 상당히 감소되었을 뿐 만 아니라 도플러 변화가 없는 표적신호에 대해서도 LSL필터는 양호한 응답을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose the speech enhancement algorithm using an one-microphone in a reverberant room environments. Spectral subtraction is the effective method which can reduce the reverberation element and the noise in a spectrum domain. Spectral subtraction needs correct separation of voice section and silent section therefore to improve the performance, voice activity detection(VAD) based on entropy has been applied to the proposed method. We test a performance of the proposed method by comparing with conventional method which used VAD based on energy detection. Reverberation reduction ratio with variable of SNR and a reverberation time is used as a test index. From the simulation result, proposed method shows performance better than conventional method.

Background noise and room reverberation are two causes of degradation in speech in listening situations. Many algorithms developed to enhance reverberant speech. In this paper we propose a dereverberation method for enhancement of speech using modified the linear prediction(LP) residual in reverberant room condition. The proposed dereberberation method based on the fact that the signification excitation of the vocal tract system takes place at the instant of glottal closure in voiced speech. Our method used delay information form each sensor, and we need reverberant signals from 3 sensors. We obtain a new LP residual signal using modified IP residual combination which derived form weighting of the LP residual and the Hilbert transform of LP residual. The nature of the coherently added Hilbert envelop has several large amplitude spikes because of the effects of noise and reverberation. This residual of the clean speech is used to excite the time-varying all-pole filter to obtain the enhanced speech. We achieved simulation of proposed algorithm for performance analysis in reverberation environment. The proposed algorithm improves substantially the quality of reverberant speech.
