There are several methods capable of determining he magnitude of optical anisotropy, such as spectrometric ellipsometry and polarized light reflectometry. The interference method is estimated to be no influence of surface scattering. The magnitude of anisotropy is a-As/sub 40/Ge/sub 10/S/sub 35/Se/sub 15/ thin film is analyzed by the reflection interference analysis method based on the difference depending on a phase of s- and p-polarized light. The theoretically analyzed value is compared with the result obtained by the measured technique.

This study aims to derive frequency weighting curves for the estimation of driver's discomfort by steering wheel vibration in the vertical and rotational direction with respect to a steering column. Subjective tests for the determination of equal sensation curves, inverse of frequency weighting curves, for the two kinds of vibrations were performed using the sinusoidal signals with reference amplitudes from 0.2m/s$^2$ to 0.4 m/s$^2$ in the frequency range from 5㎐ to 100㎐. Twelve subjects joined at the tests, and median values of the twelve judgments were used to determine the frequency weighting curves. Second experiment was followed to determine relative magnitude between the two frequency weighting curves by direct comparison of discomfort due to the two kinds of vibrations at 50㎐, which showed discomfort by the rotational vibration was 1.5 times of that by the vertical vibration.

For earthquake hazard estimation the data containing large historical events and recent complete observations with various uncertainty should be used together. The traditional maximum likelihood method is not adequate for this kind work. The maximum probable earthquakes in the Korean Peninsula are estimated by the method of an extended maximum likelihood estimation. The method can handle data with various uncertainty. The maximum probable earthquake in the Korean Peninsula is appeared to be 7.14$\pm$0.34 in magnitude.

We present a high speed pitch estimation algorithm that is based on peak detection and average magnitude difference function (AMDF). A few pitch candidates are first estimated from the low-pass filtered (800 Hz) speech by a peak detection algorithm. AMDF values of the pitch candidatestare then calculated, and the pitch candidate that yields the minimum AMDF value is chosen as the desired pitch period. The new method requires far less computation time than other pitch estimation algorithms, while it yields fairly accurate results.

The purpose of this study is to grasp visual effects of landscape on window in living space. The visual effects in the 1/3 living room scale models that are different in the dimension of window, the place of window and the landscape through the window is judge using a method of magnitude estimation. In consequence of these experiment, the following results were obtained. 1) The brightness influences the evaluation marks on visual effects of window on living space. 2) The existence of landscape has an effect on a sense of extent for living space. 3) The existence of window in visual field makes a great difference to the visual effects.

Mass estimation was derived as functions of acceleration magnitude and primary frequency. The conventional method of mass estimation used frequency data directly in the frequency domain. The signals that can be obtained sensor contained noise as well as impact signal. Therefore, how well we can detect the frequency data in noise directly determines the quality of mass estimation. To find exact frequency data, we used time-frequency analysis. The time frequency method are expected to be more useful than the conventional frequency domain analyses for the mass estimation problem on a plate type structure. Also it has been concluded that the smoothed WVD can give more reliable means than the other methodologies for the mass estimation in a noisy environment.

This paper reports an efficient algorithm for accurate rolling shutter distortion removal. A hierarchical global motion estimation approach for a group of blocks reduces the level of computation by three orders of magnitude. In addition, the motion of each scanline is determined accurately by averaging two candidates obtained through cubic spline interpolation. The experimental results show that the proposed method produces accurate motion information with significant computation reduction and corrects the rolling shutter distortion effectively.

This paper proposes a new personalized HRTF estimation method which is based on a deep neural network (DNN) model and improved elevation reproduction using a notch filter. In the previous study, a DNN model was proposed that estimates the magnitude of HRTF by using anthropometric measurements [1]. However, since this method uses zero-phase without estimating the phase, it causes the internalization (i.e., the inside-the-head localization) of sound when listening the spatial sound. We devise a method to estimate both the magnitude and phase of HRTF based on the DNN model. Personalized HRIR was estimated using the anthropometric measurements including detailed data of the head, torso, shoulders and ears as inputs for the DNN model. After that, the estimated HRIR was filtered with an appropriate notch filter to improve elevation reproduction. In order to evaluate the performance, both of the objective and subjective evaluations are conducted. For the objective evaluation, the root mean square error (RMSE) and the log spectral distance (LSD) between the reference HRTF and the estimated HRTF are measured. For subjective evaluation, the MUSHRA test and preference test are conducted. As a result, the proposed method can make listeners experience more immersive audio than the previous methods.

Observed ground motions from the January 2007 magnitude 4.9 Odaesan earthquake and the events occurring in the Gyeongsang provinces are compared with the previously proposed ground attenuation relationships in the Korean Peninsula to select most appropriate one. The selected relationship from the ones for the Korean Peninsula has been compared with attenuation relationships available in HAZUS. Then, the attenuation relation for the Western United States proposed by Sadigh et al.(1997) for the Site Class B has been selected for this study. It has been used for the earthquake loss estimation of the Gyeongju area located in southeast Korea using the deterministic method in HAZUS with a scenario earthquake (M=6.7). Application of the improved methodology for loss estimation in Korea will help decision makers for planning disaster responses and hazard mitigation.

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive digital filter for tonal noise cancellation, with a frequency tracking capability. The proposed algorithm not only estimates the magnitude and phase of the tonal disturbance but also tracks its frequency, which changes in quasi-static manner. The algorithm uses the steepest descent method and the instantaneous frequency approach for the phase/magnitude estimation and frequency tracking, respectively. A number of computer simulations have been carried out in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed ANC algorithm under various conditions.
