In the sound insulation measurements, the influence of background (extraneous) noise is often serious problem and how to reduce its effect and to improve the signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio is an important theme. As the background noise, such extraneous noises as road traffic noise and machine noise often disturb the measurement. In laboratory measurements on specimens with high sound insulation performances, even the internal noise of the measurement system can become a problem. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio and to improve the measurement accuracy, various kinds of digital signal processing techniques can be applied. In this paper, four kinds of digital signal processing techniques are applied and their effectiveness is examined by a simple sound insulation measurement.

Recently, advance signal analysis which is called "Time-Frequency Analysis" has been developed. Wavelet and Wigner Distribution are used to the method. Wavelet transform(WT) is applied to time-frequency analysis of waveforms obtained by an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique. The Gabor function is adopted as the analyzing wavelet. Wavelet analysis method is an attractive technique for evolution of material characterization evoluation. In this paper, the feasibility of suppression of ultrasonic background noise signal using WT has been presented. These results suggest that ultrasonic background noise ginal can be suppressed and enhanced even for SNR of 20.8 dB. This property of the WT is extremely useful for the detecting flaw echos embedded in background noise.und noise.

The speech intelligibility is one of the most important factors in communication system. The speech intelligibility is related with speech to noise ratio. To enhance the speech to noise ratio, background noise reduction techniques are being developed. As a part of solution to noise reduction, this paper introduces directional microphone using beamforming method and speech filtering method. The directional microphone narrows the spatial range of processing signal into the direction of the target speech signal. The noise signal located in the same direction with speech still remains in the processing signal. To sort this mixed signal into speech and noise, as a following step, a speech-filtering method is applied to pick up only the speech signal from the processed signal. The speech filtering method is based on the characteristics of speech signal itself. The combined directional microphone and speech filtering method gives enhanced performance to speech intelligibility in communication system.

본 논문에서는 잡음 환경 하에서 음성신호에 대한 신호대잡음비(SNR)를 개선하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 백색잡음 및 자동차잡음 등과 같은 배경잡음으로부터 음성신호의 SNR을 개선할 목적으로 먼저 저역, 중역, 고역 SNR 대역에서 SNR을 추정한다. 다음으로 본 알고리즘은 각 대역에서 스펙트럼을 강조함으로써 잡음으로 오염된 음성신호 속에서 잡음신호를 차감한다. 백색잡음, 자동차잡음에 의하여 오염된 음성에 대하여 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 스펙트럼 차감 방법과 비교하여 양호한 신호대잡음비 값을 구하였다. 실험결과로부터 스펙트럼 차감 방법과 비교하여 백색잡음에 대하여 최대 4.2 dB, 자동차잡음에 대하여 최대 3.7 dB의 출력 신호대잡음비가 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

It is very critical for image processing of IIR (Imaging Infrared) seekers to achieve improved guidance performance for missile systems to determine appropriate thresholds in various environments. In this paper, we propose automatic threshold determination methods for proper thresholds to extract definite target signals in an EOCM (Electro-Optical Countermeasures) environment with low SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratios). In particular, thresholds are found to be too low to extract target signals if one uses the Otsu method so that we suggest a Shifted Otsu method to solve this problem. Also we improve extracting target signal by changing Shifted Otsu thresholds according to the TBR (Target to Background Ratio). The suggested method is tested for real IIR images and the results are compared with the Otsu method. The HPDAF (Highest Probabilistic Data Association Filter) which selects the target originated measurements by taking into account of both signal intensity and statistical distance information is applied in this study.

Suppose one is given a vector X of a finite set of quantities $X_i$ which are independent Poisson random variables. A null hypothesis $H_0$ about E(X) is to be tested against an alternative hypothesis $H_1$. A quantity $\sum\limits_{i}w_ix_i$ is to be computed and used for the test. The optimal values of $W_i$ are calculated for three cases: (1) signal to noise ratio is used in the test, (2) normal approximations with unequal variances to the Poisson distributions are used in the test, and (3) the Poisson distribution itself is used. The above three cases are considered to the situations that are without background noise and with background noise. A comparison is made of the optimal values of $W_i$ in the three cases for both situations.

A new method in thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) was developed to correct peak tailing backgrounds in the isotope ratio measurements of uranium in ultra trace levels for higher accuracy. Two different uranium standard reference materials (U005 and U030) were used to construct databases of signal intensities at mass 234 u and mass 236 u, which correspond to the two uranium minor isotopes, and signal intensity of $^{238}U$. Correlations between peak tailing backgrounds and $^{238}U$ were obtained by least-squares regression on calculated backgrounds at mass 234 u and mass 236 u with respect to the signal intensity of $^{238}U$ followed by separation of the peak tails of the two major isotopes of uranium ($^{235}U$ and $^{238}U$), which enables us to obtain a master equation for peak tailing background correction on all kinds of samples. Verification of the correction method was carried out using U010 and IRMM-040a.

본 연구는 전산화단층촬영에서 관전압과 관전류에 따른 화질과 피폭선량을 연구하고 None IR과 IR (Iterative Reconstruction)의 단계에 따른 영상의 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)을 비교하여 영상 화질의 개선정도에 대하여 확인해보고자 하였다. Image J를 이용하여 화질을 측정한 결과 관전압의 증가에 따라 HU (Hounsfield units)와 BN(Background Noise)은 감소하였으며, 이와 반대로 SI (Signal Intensity)와 SNR, $CTDI_{vol}$ (CT dose in dex volume)은 관전압이 높아질수록 증가하였으며, BHU(Background Hounsfield Units)의 변화는 없었다. 관전류의 증가로 인해서 BN이 감소하였고, 반대로 SNR과 CTDI은 증가하였다. 또한 IR의 단계가 높아질수록 HU와 SI, BN이 낮아지고, SNR이 약 10~60% 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이를 토대로 임상에서 IR 적용 시 단계적 접근 방식으로 관전압과 관전류를 미세 조정하여 점차적으로 방사선량을 줄여 나가야 할 것이다.
