A computationally efficient algorithm is presented for 3-D near-field source localization using a uniform circular away (UCA). Algebraic relations are demonstrated between the incident angles (elevation angle and azimuth angle) under the far-field assumption and the actual near-field location (range. elevation angle, and azimuth angle). Using these relations as paths to follow to the peak of the 3-D MUSIC spectrum, the proposed algorithm replaces the 3-D search required in the conventional 3-D MUSIC with a 1-D path following after a 2-D initialization. thereby reducing the computational burden.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve the performance of the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of a speech source using a multiple signal classification (MUSIC)-based algorithm. Basically, the proposed algorithm utilizes a complex coefficient band pass filter to generate the narrow band signals for signal analysis. Also, reverberation component reduction and quadratic function-based response approximation in MUSIC spatial spectrum are utilized to improve the accuracy of DOA estimation. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the well-known generalized cross-correlation (GCC)-based DOA estimation algorithm in the aspect of the estimation error and success rate, respectively.Abstract should be placed here.

Localization with array sensors has been applied for not only military but also non-military purposes. The identification of submarines and fish finding are those examples. Nowadays the demand for noise identification is increasing to characterize noise sources and improve acoustic performance of underwater acoustic equipment. For that reason KRISO/KORDI recently constructed an anechoic basin which bus reflection only at the free surface. This paper suggests a noise identification methods using MUSIC algorithm in such an acoustic field. For comparison phase delay sum and minimum valiance methods are also described. At first basic principles are described. A several numerical simulations are also performed. The results say that reflection effect many cause a new non-real source although good estimation is obtained under no reflection conditions.

The detectability of radar depends on RCS(radar cross section). The RCS for complex radar targets may be only approximately calculated by using low-frequency or high-frequency scattering methods, while the RCS for simple radar targets can be exactly obtained by applying on eigen-function method. However, the conventional methods for calculation of RCS are computationally complex. We propose an radar signal model for RCS calculation by MUSIC algorithm In this research, it is assumed that the radar target is considered as a ring of scatterers. The amplitudes of scatterers may be statistically distributed. As the result, the radar signal model is proposed to use MUSIC, and the RCS is calculated by a simple linear algebraic method.

In this paper, we proposed an automatic music/non-music signal discrimination system from broadcasting audio signal as a preliminary study of building a sound source monitoring system in real broadcasting environment. By reflecting human speech articulation characteristics, we used three simple time-domain features such as energy standard deviation, log energy standard deviation and log energy mean. Based on the experimental threshold values of each feature, we developed a rule-based algorithm to classify music portion of the input audio signal. For the verification of the proposed algorithm, actual FM broadcasting signal was recorded for 24 hours and used as source input audio signal. From the experimental results, the proposed system can effectively recognize music section with the accuracy of 96% and non-music section with that of 87%, where the performance is good enough to be used as a pre-process module for the a sound source monitoring system.

ISAR(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) images represent the 2-D(two-dimensional) spatial distribution of RCS (Radar Cross Section) of an object, and they can be applied to the problem of target identification. A traditional approach to ISAR imaging is to use a 2-D IFFT(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform). However, the 2-D IFFT results in low resolution ISAR images especially when the measured frequency bandwidth and angular region are limited. In order to improve the resolution capability of the Fourier transform, various high-resolution spectral estimation approaches have been applied to obtain ISAR images, such as AR(Auto Regressive), MUSIC(Multiple Signal Classification) or Modified MUSIC algorithms. In this study, these high-resolution spectral estimators as well as 2-D IFFT approach are combined with a recently developed ISAR image classification algorithm, and their performances are carefully analyzed and compared in the framework of radar target recognition.

This paper deals with the development of an application that converts the PDF music score entered by the user into a MIDI file of the chord the user wants. This application converts the PDF file into a PNG file for chord conversion when the user enters the PDF music score file and the chord which the user wants to change. After recognizing the melody of sheet music through image processing algorithm and recognizing the tempo of sheet music notes through deep learning, then the MIDI file of chord for existing sheet music is produced. The OpenCV algorithm and deep learning can recognize minim note, quarter note, eighth note, semi-quaver note, half rest, eighth rest, quarter rest, semi-quaver rest, successive notes and chord notes. The experiment shows that the note recognition rate of the music score was 100% and the tempo recognition rate was 90% or more.

This paper proposes a subband filtering technique to the MUSIC and the ESPRIT algorithm for estimating the magnitude and frequency of the harmonics of power signal. In proposed method, the input power signal is decomposed to the odd harmonics and the even harmonics respectively by the filter bank system. The amplitude and the frequency estimation of the decomposed harmonics are carried out using the MUSIC and the ESPRIT method. Subband filtering can reduce the autocorrelation matrix size of input data, and spectrum leakage between adjacent harmonics. Therefore, this subband technique has advantage in computational cost and estimation accuracy compared to fullband MUSIC and ESPRIT. To demonstrate the performance of the method, computer simulations are performed to the synthesized input signal, and experiment results are compared in subband and fullband cases.

For customized education, it is essential to search the learning path for the learner. The genetic algorithm makes it possible to find optimal solutions within a practical time when they are difficult to be obtained with deterministic approaches because of the problem's very large search space. In this research, based on genetic algorithm, the learning paths to learn 200 chords in 27 music sheets were optimized to maximize the learning effect by balancing and minimizing learner's burden and learning size for each step in the learning paths. Although the permutation size of the possible learning path for 27 learning contents is more than $10^{28}$, the optimal solution could be obtained within 20 minutes in average by an implemented tool in this research. Experimental results showed that genetic algorithm can be effectively used to design complex learning path for customized education with various purposes. The proposed method is expected to be applied in other educational domains as well.

This paper proposes the noise robust algorithm to detect the starting point of music. Detection of starting point of music is necessary to solve computational-waste problem and retrieval-comparison problem with inconsistent input data in music content based retrieval system. In particular, such detection is even more necessary in time sequential retrieval method that compares data in the sequential order of time in contents based music retrieval system. Whereas it has the long point that the retrieval is fast since it executes simple comparison in the order of time, time sequential retrieval method has the short point that data starting time to be compared should be the same. However, digitalized music cannot guarantee the equity of starting time by bit rate conversion. Therefore, this paper ensured that recognition rate shall not decrease even while executing high speed retrieval by applying time sequential retrieval method through detection of music starting point in the pre-processing stage of retrieval. Starting point detection used minimum wave model that can detect effective sound, and for strength against noise, the noises existing in mute sound were swapped. The proposed algorithm was confirmed to produce about 38% more excellent performance than the results to which starting point detection was not applied, and was verified for the strength against noise.
