In previous works, psychoacoustic parameters have been used for objective quantification. However, these parameters do not agree well with subjective assessment. Therefore, the correlation between psychoacoustic parameters and the subjective rating of door closing sounds of sampled cars is low, and it is not sufficient to use psychoacoustic parameters as an objective metric to quantify the sound quality of door closing sounds. In this paper, a new method is proposed to objectively quantify the sound quality based on physiological acoustics and statistical signal processing. The gammatone filter, as a pre-processing, is used in models of the auditory system and kurtosis, which is the fourth-order moment of temporal signal, and is used to extract information about sound quality quantification for door closing sounds. The new metric obtained through the proposed method is highly correlated with subjective rating, and it is successfully applied to the quantification of the sound quality of door closing sounds.

This paper proposes the design of the model following control system using the PID control structure. PID control system became model following control by inserting new pre-compensator in order to improve control performance in discrete-time region. Gain of the PID controller needs to be readjusted when response of system changes due to disturbance or load fluctuation. Performance of control system improves by joining neural network to PID control system because performance of control system depends largely on each PID gain in PID control system. And the games of the PID controller in the proposed control system are automatically adjusted by back-propagation algorithm of the neural network. Angular position of DC servo motor is selected as a plant in order to verify control performance in model following control. After it is applied to the position control system, it's performance is verified through computer experiment.

The transfer capability of HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) network is superior to xDSL. HFC network, however, is not suitable for transferring high quality video due to cable model interfaces. For the services of high quality IPIV or VOD, the extra exclusive downstream transfer system is required without upgrading pre-equipped cable modem and service capability. This paper is aimed to develop the extra exclusive downstream transfer system not changing existing cable modem system but providing same quality of services. This system is composed of the extra exclusive downstream IP-cable sender and modem. This sender and modem have 30 Mbps transfer capability and HDTV stream can be served in the Cable TV network using 21 Mbps HDTV transport stream.

In the design of the metal forming processes, various types of ductile fracture criteria are used to predict crack initiation and to fabricate metallic products without any defects. However, the quantitative measurement method for determination of crack initiation is insufficient. It is very difficult to detect crack initiation in ductile metals with excellent deformability because no significant load drop is observed due to crack generation. In this study, the applicability of acoustic emission sensors, which are commonly used in facility diagnostics, to measure crack initiation during the metal forming process was analyzed. Cylindrical notch specimens were designed using the finite element method to induce a premature crack on the surface of pre heat-treated steel (ESW90) material. In addition, specimens with various notch angles and heights were prepared and compression tests were carried out. During the compression tests, acoustic emission signal on the dies and images of the surface of the notch specimen were recorded using an optical camera in real time. The experimental results revealed that the acoustic emission sensor can be used to detect crack initiation in ductile metals due to severe plastic deformation.

In this paper, we introduce two retrieval methods for photos with speech documents. We compare the pattern of speech query with those of speech documents recorded in digital cameras, and measure the similarities, and retrieve photos corresponding to the speech documents which have high similarity scores. As the first approach, a phoneme recognition scheme is used as the pre-processor for the pattern matching, and in the second one, the vector quantization (VQ) and the dynamic time warping (DTW) are applied to match the speech query with the documents in signal domain itself. Experimental results show that the performance of the first approach is highly dependent on that of phoneme recognition while the processing time is short. The second method provides a great improvement of performance. While the processing time is longer than that of the first method due to DTW, but we can reduce it by taking approximated methods.

본 논문에서는 볼테라 비선형 시스템의 선형화를 위한 새로운 적응 선행처리 기법을 제시한다. 특히, 제안된 적응 선행처리 기법은 (i) 순수 비선형 왜곡 보상을 위한 부분(pure nonlinear distortion compensator: PNDC)과, (ii) 선형 왜곡 보상을 위한 선형 역필터(linear inverse filter: LIF)의 두 부분으로 구성된다. 본 논문의 선형화 기법의 장점으로는 기존의 P차 역(Pth-order inverse) 기법에 비하여 계산량이 상당히 감소되며, 적응 알고리듬이 보다 빠르고 안정된 수렴 특성을 나타낸다. 끝으로, 모의실험을 통하여, 제안된 선행처리 기법의 성능및 실제 적용 가능성을 살펴본다.

By improving the ability of arithmatic processing with an arithmatic processor in a microcomputer and realizing the data input system for real time analysis, an FFT analyzer that is usable within the range of audio frequency is designed and constructed. The input signal passes through a gain programmable pre-amplifier and anti-aliasing lowpass filter into an analogditital converter to be converted into digital form. The converted input data is processed by an Apple II microcomputer. The results of the processing are displayed using a microcomputer display unit and can be copied on a printer or stored in a floppy disk.

There are limitations to process high bandwidth traffic in B-ISDN with mesh- topology single bus architecture of current mobile communication system. And, it is impossible to import ATM switch using fixed length packet rather than variable length packet. Some implementations are able to process variable length packet, but there are some problems such as pre-processing for synchronization and bit delay. In this paper, we design a concentrator that can manipulate variable length packet without additional pre-process. There is on bit delay for packet starting signal in input interface, So it is more efficient to process packets, such that the concentrator can reduce he processing time as $\ulcornerlog2N\lrcorne＋1$ bit-time rather than N bit-time delay in ordinary concentrator. It is expected that the mobile communication system with partial mesh topology bus adopting the knockout switch architecture can process high bandwidth traffic in B-ISDN.

In this study, we report an effective k-domain linearization method with a pre-calibrated indexed look-up table. The method minimizes k-domain nonlinear characteristics of a swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system by using two arrays, a sample position shift index and an intensity compensation array. Two arrays are generated from an interference pattern acquired by connecting a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) and an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) to the system. At real time imaging, the sample position is modified by location movement and intensity compensation with two arrays for linearity of wavenumber. As a result of evaluating point spread functions (PSFs), the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is increased by 9.7 dB. When applied to infrared (IR) sensing card imaging, the SNR is increased by 1.29 dB and the contrast noise ratio (CNR) value is increased by 1.44. The time required for the linearization and intensity compensation is 30 ms for a multi thread method using a central processing unit (CPU) compared to 0.8 ms for compute unified device architecture (CUDA) processing using a graphics processing unit (GPU). We verified that our linearization method is appropriate for applying real time imaging of SS-OCT.

This paper describes the implementation of automatic number-braille converter based on image processing for the blind people. The algorithm is consists of four main steps. First step is binary image conversion of the input image obtained by the camera. the second step is segmentation operation by means of dilation and labelling of the character. Next step is calculation of cross-correlation between segmented text image and pre-defined text-pattern image. The final step is generation of brail output which is relevant to input image. The computer simulation result was showing 91.8% correct conversion rate for arabian numbers which is printed in A4-sheet and practical possibility was also confirmed by using implemented automatic number-braille converter based on DSP image processing board.
