This study investigated the effects of the types of noise and signal to noise ratios (SNRs) on speech intelligibility of an adult with dysartrhia. Speech intelligibility was judged by 48 naive listeners using a word transcription task. Repeated measures design was used with the types of noise (multi-talker babble/environmental noise) and SNRs (0, +10 dB, +20 dB) as within-subject factors. The dependent measure was the percentage of correctly transcribed words. Results revealed that two main effects were statistically significant. Listeners performed significantly worse in the multi-talker babble condition than the environmental noise condition, and they performed significantly better at higher levels of SNRs. The current results suggested that the multi-talker babble and lower level of SNRs decreased the speech intelligibility of adults with dysarthria, and speech-language pathologists should consider environmental factors such as the types of noise and SNRs in evaluating speech intelligibility of adults with dysarthria.

When the noise has both additive and signal-dependent components, locally optimum detector test statistics are obtained for detection of weak composite signals using the generalized Neyman-Pearson lemma. In order to consider the non-additive noise as well as purely-additive noise, a generalized observation model is used in this paper. The locally optimum detector test statistics are derived for several different cases according to the relative strengths of the known signal component, the random signal component, and the signal-dependent noise component. Schematic diagrams of the locally optimum detector structures are also included.

오늘날, 우리는 어디엔가 엔제나 무전기 통신 장치를 사용할수 있다. 때때로, 우리는 음향잡음환경에서 장치를 사용하였다. 그 음향잡음은 통신장치에서 많은 문제를 만들었다. 음향잡음환경에서는, 말은 음성신호와 잡음신호 양쪽에 신호를 포함하고, 받았기 때문에 깨끗한 정보를 받기위해 보낼수가 없었다. 디지털필터는 바라는 신호를 얻기 위해 옮기는 잡음으로서 유용하였다. 방법의 하나는 자동적으로 맞추는 필터 파라미터로서 적응 잡음 망상조직으로 적응디지털필터를 사용하는 것이다. 본 논문은 두 적응필터 방법에 의하여 현실에서 음향잡음으로서 명료도 알고리즘의 번지라고 할 수가 있다. 하나는 두 입력 채널과 함께 적응잡음 망상조직이라 할 수 있고, 또 다른 것은 하나 입력 채널과 함께 스펙트럼 빼기필터이다. 이 실험의 결과는 제안된 필터로부터 스펙트럼 진폭필터는 움직이지 않는 잡음은 효력이 있는 동안 움직이는 것을 줄이기 위해 사용되어지는 것은 적응잡음망상조직으로 보여준다.

Impulsive sound and vibration signals in gear are often associated with their faults. Thus these impulsive sound and vibration signals can be used as indicators in the diagnosis of gear fault. The early detection of impulsive signal due to gear fault prevents from complete failure in gear. However it is often difficult to make objective measurement of impulsive signals because of background noise signals. In order to ease the detection of impulsive signals embedded in background noise, we enhance the impulsive signals using adaptive signal processing.

In this paper, an efficient performance enhancement scheme for an adaptive antenna array under the flat and the frequency-selective Rayleigh fadings is proposed. The proposed signal enhancement scheme is the modified linear signal estimator which combines the rank N approximation by reducing noise eigenvalues(RANE) and Toeplitz matrix approximation(TMA) methods into the linear signal estimator. The proposed performance enhancement scheme is performed by not only reducing the noise component from the signal-plus-noise subspace using RANE but also having the theoretical property of noise-free signal using TMA. Consequently, the key idea of the proposed performance enhancement scheme is to greatly enhance the performance of an adaptive antenna array by removing all undesired noise effects from the post-correlation received signal. The proposed performance enhancement scheme applies at the Wiener maximal ratio combining(MRC) method which has been widely used as the conventional adaptive antenna array. It is shown through several simulation results that the performance of an adaptive antenna array using the proposed signal enhancement scheme is much superior to that of a system using the conventional method under several environments, i.e., a flat Rayleigh fading, a fast frequency-selective Rayleigh fading, a perfect/imperfect power control, a single cell, and a multicell.

In this paper, the active noise controll system in duct is analyzed with real time implementation. The primary noise signal detected by microphone is modeled using adaptive algorithm and the secondary signal which has the same amplitude and 180$^{\circ}$phase shift with the primary noise signal is generated in the controller. We used the DSP56001 as a real-time processor and LMS algorithm as a adaptive technique, the experimental results shows that our system can reduce the noise level in duce to 15~40[db].

Since the dimensions of MEMS gyroscope are very small compared to those of conventional gyroscope, MEMS gyroscope should be able to measure charge of pico-coulomb caused by very small change of electrodes gap. However, feed-through signal from driving electrodes to the sensing electrodes due to the electromagnetic coupling is much greater than the sensing signal, which degrades the sensitivity of MEMS gyroscope. This paper introduces the feed-through noise canceling technique using dummy port and confirms the feasibility of feed-through noise canceling experimentally. Experimental results shows that, when driving signal is 6 Vpp, 30 kHz, feed-through signal of vacuum packaged Si Gyroscope decreases from -53.2 dBm to -77.1 dBm by using feed-through reduction technique. Q-factor that could not be measured without noise reduction is measured to be about 2500 and resonance frequency to be 7.018 kHz.

EOC (Electro-Optical Camera) of KOMPSAT-1 (Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) has been producing land imageries of the world since January 2000. After image data are acquired by EOC, they are transmitted from satellite to ground via X-band RF signal. Then, EOC image data are generated and pass through radiometric and geometric corrections to generate standard products of EOC images. After radiometric correction on EOC image data, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) compensation is applicable on EOC images with user's request for better image quality. MTF compensation is concerned with filtering EOC images to minimize the effect of degradations. For Image Receiving and Processing System (IRPE) at KOMPSAT Ground Station (KGS), Wiener filter is used in MTF compensation for EOC images. If the Pointing Spread Function (PSF) of EOC system is known, signal-to-noise power spectra ratio is the only factor in the determination of Wiener filter. In this paper, MTF compensation in IRPE at KGS is introduced and MTF compensated EOC 1R images are generated using Wiener filters with various signal-to-noise power spectra ratios. MTF compensated EOC 1R images are correlated with EOC 1R images for observing linearities between them. As a result, the effect of signal-to-noise power spectra ratio is shown on MTF compensated EOC 1R images.

본 논문에서는 잡음 에너지 제어를 통한 지각 필터의 성능을 향상시킴으로써 잡음에 의해 열화 된 오디오 신호의 음질을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 방식에서는 묵음 구간에서 획득한 잡음 에너지를 사용하여 필터를 구성하여 사용하지만, 신호 구간마다 달라지는 신호의 세기 및 잡음의 환경 정도에 많은 영향을 받아 잡음의 에너지가 급격하게 변화한다면 음질의 개선률이 감소함을 알 수 있다. 그러나 제안하는 방식에서는 묵음 구간에서 추정한 잡음의 에너지 제어를 통해 초기 추정 잡음보다 가까운 추정 잡음을 얻음으로써 잡음 에너지가 급격하게 변화하여도 음질 개선률에는 변화가 적음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 저 대역에 영향을 미치는 잡음의 경우에도 다른 방법들과는 달리 음질의 개선이 뚜렷하였다. 기존 방식과의 비교를 위해 다양한 신호 대 잡음 비 (signal-to-noise ratio, SNR)에서 열화 된 오디오 신호를 입력으로 사용하였다. 입력 SNR이 5dB, l0dE, 15dB와 20dB의 각각의 경우에 대하여 SSNR (Segmental SNR)과 잡음 대 마스킹 비 (Noise-to-mask ratio, NMR), 음질 테스트를 수행한 결과, 청감 테스트 (Mean Opinion Score, MOS Test)결과의 향상과 음질의 개선을 확인할 수 있었다.

In the process of the acquisition, storage, transmission of signals, noises are generated by various causes and the degradation phenomenon by noises tends to generate serious errors for the signal with information. So, in order to analyze and remove these noises, studies on numerous mathematical methods such as the Fourier transform have been implemented. And recently there have been many ongoing wavelet-based denoising algorithms representing excellent characteristics in time-frequency localization and multiresolution analysis, but the method to remove additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and the impulse noise simultaneously was not given. So, to reconstruct the corrupted signal by noises, in this paper a novel wavelet-based denoising algorithm was proposed and using signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) this method was compared to conventional methods.
