Interior noise, engine speed and vehicle speed are measured under transient road-load condition and interior noise signal is transformed by using the transient signal analysis methods, such as the spectrogram and wavelet transform. Using the analyzed results, subjective noise metrics such as the loudness, sharpness and articulation index at each vehicle speed can be estimated and characteristics of interior noise for various running modes can be discussed in the viewpoint of noise quality.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image can link with the microscopic world through reflecting interaction between electrons and materials. The SEM images are easily subject to blurring distortions during the imaging process. Inspired by the fact that dark channel prior captures the changes to blurred SEM images caused by the blur process, we propose a method to evaluate the SEM images sharpness based on the dark channel prior. A SEM image database is first established with mean opinion score collected as ground truth. For the quality assessment of the SEM image, the dark channel map is generated. Since blurring is typically characterized by the spread of edge, edge of dark channel map is extracted. Then noise is removed by an edge-preserving filter. Finally, the maximum gradient and the average gradient of image are combined to generate the final sharpness score. The experimental results on the SEM blurred image database show that the proposed algorithm outperforms both the existing state-of-the-art image sharpness metrics and the general-purpose no-reference quality metrics.

무인기 영상을 활용한 고해상도의 산출물을 생성하기 위해서 영상 분석을 통해 측정되는 영상자체의 선명도 분석이 필요하다. 무인기의 선명도가 명확하지 않는 영상을 현업에서 사용할 경우 무인기를 이용한 정확한 3차원 정보의 획득이나 매핑 등의 작업에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 영상 선명도를 설명할 수 있는 지표로 식별해상도(Ground Resolved Distance, GRD)가 사용되어 왔다. GRD는 영상에서 식별 가능한 두 물체간의 최소거리로 정의되며 공간적 샘플간격인 GSD(Ground Sampling Distance)와 대비되는 개념으로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 GRD를 육안판독에 의하지 않고 영상에 촬영된 에지 타겟을 분석하여 추출하고자 한다. 특히 GRD대 GSD의 비율(GRD/GSD), 또는 픽셀단위로 표현된 GRD를 영상의 상대적 선명성을 평가할 수 있는 지표로 사용하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 회전익을 사용하여 여러 촬영환경에서 고도별로 촬영된 에지타겟의 분석을 통해서 GRD를 산출하였다. GRD/GSD를 사용하여 선명도가 현저히 떨어지는 영상을 판별할 수 있었고 이를 통해서 영상의 선명도 지표로서의 적정성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, drivers have begun to regard comfort in the cabin as one of the most important factors in construction equipment like forklifts. Accordingly, it has become more important to design a forklift cabin with a better sound quality as well as lower sound level, which can make a driver more comfortable. In this paper, the correlation between subjective evaluation and Zwicker's sound quality index was analyzed through a blind test by a few workers in forklifts and other construction equipment in several countries. Correlation analysis showed that Loudness and Sharpness were ranked in sequence, and tendencies were different from country to country. Also, contribution analysis for Loudness and Sharpness using operational transfer path analysis (OTPA), which is widely used in the field of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), was performed. However, Loudness and Sharpness cannot be used with OTPA directly because there are no linear relationships between the sources and receivers. In this paper, both are calculated by applying the DIN 45631 method with a contribution rate (%) of 1/3 Octave Sound Pressure Level by OTPA method in addition to considering spectral masking.

With the increasing the importance of emotional quality of vehicle, the sound quality of systems with electric motor components has become increasingly important. Electric motors are used for windows, seats, sun roof, mirrors, steering columns, windshield wiper, climate control blowers, etc. In this paper, a study was conducted to identify sound quality factors that contribute to customer's satisfaction and preference of the window lift system. Jury test for subjective evaluation was carried out and sound quality index was developed. Averaged sound pressure level and sharpness were significant factors when glass moves down. Also, maximum loudness at stop section and averaged loudness were significant factor when glass moves up. Noise source identification was carried out for the reduced the loudness and sharpness during glass transferred section and impulsive noise at stop section, Using the source identification result, several improvement points were applied. And finally, the degree of sound quality improvement was judged using sound quality index.

The international competition in refrigerator markets has continuously required the research for sound quality of a refrigerator to improve the quality of a life. In this paper, A new method for evaluation of the sound quality of a refrigerator is developed based on human sensibility engineering by using ANN(artificial neural network). In this paper, the loudness and the sharpness of the refrigerator's signals was used for the input value in ANN's training process because the loudness and the sharpness has a good correlation between the output of the ANN and the target of the individual evaluation In the training process. Two input factor was used repeatedly in the training process to get more optimum weighting value. And then finally we developed the sound quality index of a refrigerator. The developed sound quality index was confirmed by the 96.5 % of correlation between the output of the ANN and the real evaluation. It will be applied to evaluate the sound quality of a refrigerator in the industry.

초점 검출 시스템은 영상 획득 과정에서 영상의 화질을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 초점 검출은 크게 영상의 고주파 성분을 평가하여 수치화하는 초점값 연산 부분과 이 초점값을 이용하여 렌즈를 이동시켜 초점을 일치시키는 부분으로 이루어진다. 초점값을 연산하는데 있어 저조도 잡음이 첨가된 환경에서는 잡음에 의해 그 성능이 크게 저하되게 된다. 본 논문에서는 공간 적응적인 가중치를 이용하여 저조도 잡음이 첨가된 환경에서 효율적으로 초점값을 연산할 수 있도록 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 영상의 각 픽셀에서 영상의 국부 특성과 잡음의 특성을 적응적 가중치를 연산하고, 이를 이용해 저조도 잡음에 강인한 초점값 연산자를 제안한다. 제안된 적응적 가중치는 기존의 필터 기반 초점값 연산자에도 적용이 가능한 특성을 갖는다. 잡음이 없는 상태와 가우시안 잡음이 있는 환경 하에서 제안된 연산자의 성능을 검증하였다.

Muffler sound quality of a vehicle has widely been evaluated using commercial softwares. However, the commercial softwares are providing only simple sound quality index. To get better sound quality evaluation method of the muffler, a new approach is suggested based on the subjective sound quality test. The suggested subjective sound quality evaluation method is refined with the fuzzy theory. The developed method is applied for the evaluation of various kinds of vehicle muffler sounds.

The purpose of this study is to identify the significant sound quality metric and compose the sound quality index of motor driven roller blind which is part of vehicle sunroof. Before subjective evaluation, sound characteristics of roller blind was analyzed and set the target operating sound for subjective evaluation. Thus, transfer sound of roller blind which has the characteristics of sound modulation was used for subjective evaluation. Linear regression was carried out by chosen Zwicker's metrics which are pointed by comments of jurors. Loudness and sharpness related metrics are prime metrics in sound quality index we composed. Effect of roller blind assay when it is attached to real vehicle was identified to evaluate the validity of index.

The purpose of this study is that developing the index which evaluate sound quality of door latch and improving its sound quality through that results. For that, various operating sound of door latch was used for jury test. Loudness and sharpness related metrics are dominant in sound quality index we developed. This research investigate the main transfer path of its operating sound through sound field visualization and get conclusion that could reduce the impact sound of door latch. Therefore, we could verify sound quality improvement of modified product by using sound quality index.
