Current theories of cross-language speech perception claim that patterns of perceptual assimilation of non-native segments to native categories predict relative difficulties in learning to perceive (and produce) non-native phones. Perceptual assimilation patterns by Japanese listeners of the three-way voicing distinction in Korean syllable-initial obstruent consonants were assessed directly. According to Speech Learning Model (SLM) and Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM), the resulting perceptual assimilation pattern predicts relative difficulty in discrimination between lenis and aspirated consonants, and relative ease in the discrimination of fortis. This study compared the effects of two different training conditions on Japanese adults’perceptual categorization of Korean three-way distinction. In one condition, participants were trained to discriminate lenis and aspirated consonants which were predicted to be problematic, whereas in another condition participants were trained with all three classes of 'learnability' did not seem to depend lawfully on the perceived cross-language similarity of Korean and Japanese consonants.

This paper presents a model-based image steganography method based on Watson's visual model. Model-based steganography assumes a model for cover image statistics. This approach, however, has some weaknesses, including perceptual detectability. We propose to use Watson's visual model to improve perceptual undetectability of model-based steganography. The proposed method prevents visually perceptible changes during embedding. First, the maximum acceptable change in each discrete cosine transform coefficient is extracted based on Watson's visual model. Then, a model is fitted to a low-precision histogram of such coefficients and the message bits are encoded to this model. Finally, the encoded message bits are embedded in those coefficients whose maximum possible changes are visually imperceptible. Experimental results show that changes resulting from the proposed method are perceptually undetectable, whereas model-based steganography retains perceptually detectable changes. This perceptual undetectability is achieved while the perceptual quality - based on the structural similarity measure - and the security - based on two steganalysis methods - do not show any significant changes.

Perceptual evaluation of duration models of spoken Korean was carried out based on the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) model for text-to-speech conversion. A reference set of durations was produced by a commercial text-to-speech synthesis system for comparison. The duration model which was built in the previous research (Chung & Huckvale, 2001) was applied to a Korean language speech synthesis diphone database, 'Hanmal (HN 1.0)'. The synthetic speech produced by the CART duration model was preferred in the subjective preference test by a small margin and the synthetic speech from the commercial system was superior in the clarity test. In the course of preparing the experiment, a labeled database of spoken Korean with 670 sentences was constructed. As a result of the experiment, a trained duration model for speech synthesis was obtained. The 'Hanmal' diphone database for Korean speech synthesis was also developed as a by-product of the perceptual evaluation.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive digital image watermarking algorithm using successive subband quantization (SSQ) and perceptual model based on wavelet domain. The watermark is embedded into the perceptually significant coefficients (PSCs) of image. The PSCs in the baseband are selected according to the amplitude of the coefficients and the high frequency subbands are selected by SSQ. To embed the watermark, we use perceptual model. The perceptual model is based on the computation of the noise visibility function (NVF) and embed at the texture and edge region stronger embedded watermarks.

본 논문은 FCS(foveated contrast sensitivity)를 이용한 인지품질 기반 비디오 코딩 방법을 제안한다. CS(contrast sensitivity)를 이용한 기존의 인지품질 기반 비디오 코딩 방법은 공간주파수에 따라 시각적 인지능력이 달라지는 인간시각체계(HVS, human visual system)의 특징을 이용하여 비디오 압축 시 인지품질의 손상을 최소화하며, FM(foveated masking)을 이용한 방법에서는 HVS의 중심시(central vision) 와 주변시(peripheral vision)의 차를 이용한다. 본 연구에서는, 정신물리학 실험을 통하여 기존의 DCT(discrete cosine transform)기반 JND(Just-noticeable difference) 모델과 FM이 서로 의존성을 갖고 동시에 고려된 새로운 FCS 모델을 제안하였고, 이를 HM10.0 부호화기에 적용하여 인지품질기반 부호화를 수행하였다. 제안된 방법으로 부호화된 영상은 인지품질 관점에서 동일한 화질을 유지하면서 평균 10%의 비트율 감소를 보였다.

This paper presents the moving object detection and tracking algorithm using edge information base on human perceptual system The human visual system recognizes shapes and objects easily and rapidly. It's believed that perceptual organization plays on important role in human perception. It presents edge model(GCS) base on extracted feature by perceptual organization principal and extract edge information by definition of the edge model. Through such human perception system I have introduced the technique in which the computers would recognize the moving object from the edge information just like humans would recognize the moving object precisely.

Perceptual Ad-Blocking은 인공지능 기반의 광고 이미지 분류 모델을 이용하여 온라인 광고를 탐지하는 새로운 광고 차단 기법이다. 이러한 Perceptual Ad-Blocking은 최근 이미지 분류 모델이 이미지를 틀리게 분류하게 끔 이미지에 노이즈를 추가하는 적대적 예제(adversarial example)를 이용한 적대적 공격(adversarialbattack)에 취약하다는 연구 결과가 제시된 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 적대적 예제를 통해 기존 Perceptual Ad-Blocking 기법의 취약점을 증명하고, MNIST, CIFAR-10 등의 데이터 셋에서 성공적인 방어를 수행한 Defense-GAN과 MagNet이 광고 이미지에도 효과적으로 작용함을 보인다. 이를 통해 Defense-GAN과 MagNet 기법을 이용해 적대적 공격에 견고한 새로운 광고 이미지 분류 모델을 제시한다. 기존 다양한 적대적 공격 기법을 이용한 실험 결과에 따르면, 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 적대적 공격에 견고한 이미지 분류 기술을 통해 공격 이전의 이미지 분류 모델의 정확도와 성능을 확보할 수 있으며, 더 나아가 방어 기법의 세부사항을 아는 공격자의 화이트박스 공격(White-box attack)에도 일정 수준 방어가 가능함을 보였다.

In model-based tracking, an accurate 3D model of a target object or scene is mostly assumed to be known or given in advance, but the accuracy of the model should be guaranteed for accurate pose estimation. In many application domains, on the other hand, end users are not highly distracted by tracking errors from certain levels of modeling errors. In this paper, we examine perceptual tracking errors, which are predominantly caused by modeling errors, on subjective evaluation and compare them to computational tracking errors. We also discuss the tolerance of modeling errors by analyzing their permissible ranges.

Robust and perceptually-adaptive image watermarking algorithms have mainly targeted gray-scale images either at the modeling or embedding levels despite the widespread availability of color images. Only few of the existing algorithms are specifically designed for color images where color correlation and perception are constructively exploited. In this paper, a new perceptual and high-capacity color image watermarking solution is proposed based on the extension of Tsui et al. algorithm. The $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ space and the spatio-chromatic Fourier transform (SCFT) are combined along with a perceptual model to hide watermarks in color images where the embedding process reconciles between the conflicting requirements of digital watermarking. The perceptual model, based on an emerging color image model, exploits the non-uniform just-noticeable color difference (NUJNCD) thresholds of the $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ space. Also, spread-spectrum techniques and semi-random low-density parity check codes (SR-LDPC) are used to boost the watermark robustness and capacity. Unlike, existing color-based models, the data hiding capacity of our scheme relies on a game-theoretic model where upper bounds for watermark embedding are derived. Finally, the proposed watermarking solution outperforms existing color-based watermarking schemes in terms of robustness to standard image/color attacks, hiding capacity and imperceptibility.

Psychoacoustic model based methods have recently been introduced in order to enhance speech signals corrupted by ambient noise. In particular, the perceptual filter is analytically derived where the frequency content of the input noisy signal is made the same as that of the estimated clean signal in auditory domain. However, the analytical derivation should rely on the deconvolution associated with the spreading function in the psychoacoustic model, which results in an ill-conditioned problem. In order to cope with the problem associated with the deconvolution, we propose a novel psychoacoustic model based speech enhancement filter whose principle is the same as the perceptual filter, however the filter is derived by a constrained optimization which provides solutions to the ill-conditioned problem. It is demonstrated with artificially generated signals that the proposed filter operates according to the principle. It is shown that superior performance results from the proposed filter over the perceptual filter provided that a clean speech signal is separable from noise.
