Early detection of anomalies is an important issue in the management of group-housed livestock. In particular, failure to detect oestrus in a timely and accurate way can become a limiting factor in achieving efficient reproductive performance. Although a rich variety of methods has been introduced for the detection of oestrus, a more accurate and practical method is still required. In this paper, we propose an efficient data mining solution for the detection of oestrus, using the sound data of Korean native cows (Bos taurus coreanea). In this method, we extracted the mel frequency cepstrum coefficients from sound data with a feature dimension reduction, and use the support vector data description as an early anomaly detector. Our experimental results show that this method can be used to detect oestrus both economically (even a cheap microphone) and accurately (over 94% accuracy), either as a standalone solution or to complement known methods.

Heart sounds generated by the beating heart and blood flow reflect the turbulence created when the heart valves snap shut. Cardiac diagnosis is typically started by an auscultation using a stethoscope, from which a medical doctor, depending on his hearing capabilities and training, listens and interprets the acoustic signal. This method of diagnostic is uncertain, mostly due to the fact that human ear loses the acoustic frequency sensitivity through the years. Even though an auscultation has some weaknesses like uncertainty, it is considered as a primary tool due to its simplicity. In this paper, heart murmur detection algorithm is proposed using time and frequency characteristics of heart sound. The propose heart murmur detection method adapted conventional primary heart sound detection method in time domain and modified spectral flatness method in frequency domain for detecting heart murmurs. From experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm detect the heart murmurs efficiently.

This study was conducted to develop an automatic egg inspection system for detecting creaked eggs based on acoustic impulse response. This system includes a sound generator, a sound sensor with signal conditioner, and a computer. The sound generator that hit the sharp of the dull edges of an egg was constructed with a ceramic ball pendulum attached to a rotary type solenoid. The signal conditioner included a pre-amplifier and a digital signal processing (DSP) board. The parameters for distinguishing cracked and normal eggs were the area, the geometric centroid and the resonance frequency of power spectrum of the acoustic signal generated. An algorithm for on-line detection of the continuous transferring eggs was developed. The performance tests resulted with 91% success rate to separate cracked and normal eggs at the rate of 1 second per an egg.

본 논문은 비정상 상황 시 발생하는 음원에 대해 주변 환경 음에 강인한 음원 구간을 검출하여, 구간내의 신호를 이용한 음원 인식 과 위치 추적 시스템 설계에 관한 연구이다. 강인한 음원 구간 검출은 수신되는 오디오 신호로부터 단 구간 가중 평균 델타 에너지를 계산하여, 저역 통과 필터에 입력 후, 출력되는 결과 값들의 비교를 통해 배경음에 강인한 구간을 정의 하며, 음원 인식은 검출된 구간 내 데이터로부터 종래의 인식 방법인 HMM(: Hidden Markov Model)을 이용해, 음원 인식 정보를 생성하여 학습 및 인식을 한다. 이는 주변 배경음이 포함된 음원 신호에 대해 기존 신호의 에너지를 이용해 구간을 검출 후, HMM을 통한 인식에 비해 3.94% 상향된 인식률을 보인다. 또한 인식 결과를 바탕으로 구간내의 신호간의 TDOA(: Time Delay of Arrival)를 이용한 위치 파악은 실제 발생 위치와의 각도와 97.44%일치함을 보인다.

In this paper, intrusion detection technique based on the sound field variation of audio frequency in the security space is proposed. The sound field formed by sound source can be detected with the microphone when the obstacle or intruder is positioned. The sound field variation due to the intruder is mainly caused by the interference of audio wave. With the help of numerical simulation of sound field formations, the increase or decrease of sound pressure level is analyzed not only by the obstacle, but also by the intruder. Even the microphone is positioned behind the source, sound pressure level can be increased or decreased due to the interference of sound wave. Frequency response test is performed with Gaussian white noise signal to get the whole frequency response from 0 to half of sampling frequency. There are three security cases. Case 1 is the situation of empty space with and without intruder, case 2 is the situation of blocking obstacle with and without intruder, and case 3 is the situation of side blocking obstacle with and without intruder. At each case, the frequency response is obtained first at the security space without intruder, and second with intruder. From the experiment, intruder size of diameter of 50 cm pillar can be successfully detected with the proposed technique. Moreover, the case 2 and case 3 bring about bigger sound field variation. It means that the proposed technique have the potential of more credible security guarantee in real situation.

Optical fiber sensor is a subject which has been attracted considerable attention in recent years. Detection of sound pressure with optical fibers positioned in the arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is presented in this paper. A fiber length of the order of 150m is wounded is made by hollow cylinder type. To increase the sound signal 3${\times}3$ directional coupler is used. Fiber optic hydrophone is the underwater tank with 2kHz sound source. Finally, it is shown that the fiber optic hydeophone can stably detec 2kHz sound.

Optical sensing techniques have been associated with high sensitivity and precise measurements and attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this paper, two channels TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) fiber-optic hydrophone array for the underwater applications was fabricated and their acoustic characteristics were investigated by using the acoustic water tank. A fiber length of the order of 100m is wounded at the hollow cylinder type aluminum mandrel. An unbalanced interferometer (discrete Mach-Zehnder type) was used. Sound detection performance is tested in the underwater tank with 2kHz continuous sound source. Finally, it is shown that two channels TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) fiber-optic hydrophone array can detect 2kHz sound stably.

심음도(PCG, Phonocardiogram) 분석을 이용하여 심장의 판막과 관련된 질환을 진단하기 위해서는 먼저 심음 분할을 위해 심음의 주성분인 S1과 S2를 정확하게 찾아야 한다. 본 논문에서는 심음포락선의 모멘트 특성을 분석하고 이를 심음 분할에 적용하였다. 기존의 2차 모멘트를 이용한 심음 분할의 문제점을 분석하고, 심잡음이 있더라도 심음 주성분의 검출이 용이한 3차 모멘트에 기반한 방법을 제안하였다. 심음포락선은 심음 신호의 단구간 에너지를 이용하였으며, 3차 모멘트 궤적의 기울기 정보를 이용하여 심음 주성분을 검출하고 지속시간을 게이팅(gating) 하였다. 다양한 심잡음이 포함된 심음 신호에 대한 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 기존의 2차 모멘트 기법보다 심잡음의 영향을 적게 받고 심음 주성분의 구간을 정확하게 검출 할 수 있음을 보였다.

실제적으로, 현재의 교통사고 검지시스템은 주로 교차로에서의 영상정보와 디지털 영상처리기술에만 거의 의존하고 있기 때문에 교차로에서의 혼잡한 상황하에서는 정확한 판별의 제한이 잔존하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여, 본 논문은 교차로에서의 교통사고 자동검지율의 향상을 위해 검토되어야 할 사고음의 음향특성을 분석함으로써 현재 기술수준과 실현가능성을 가늠해 보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 교차로 주변에 차량의 소통이 거의 없을 때는 자동차사고 스키드음은 1[KHz]$\sim$3[KHz] 대역에서 특정패턴을 보였다. 또한, 차량 충돌음의 주파수 대역은 500[Hz]이하에서 사고가 발생하지 않은 시점보다 높은 30[dB] 이상의 음압차이를 보였다.
