In this paper, we designed file system in order to utilize data analysis by using correlation result from Daejeon correlator including related software development. Correlation results are consisted of visibility component (amplitude and phase) of radio source, but for data analysis of correlation result, various information such as weather, radio telescope position, observation time, radio source position, source type, and receiver noise temperature are needed. In this paper, we designed file system as a directory-structure for making use of these informations at Linux system for analyzing data and developed software to make file system. To verify the effectiveness of designed file system and developed software, file system generation experiment is conducted, and then astronomers accepted that there is no severe problem for scientific analysis using designed file system.

Sasang constitution medicine utilizes voice characteristics to diagnose a person's constitution. To classify Sasang constitutional groups using speech information technology, this study aims at establishing the relationship between Sasang constitutional groups and their corresponding voice characteristics by investigating various speech feature variables. The speech variables include features related to speech source and vocal tract filter. Experimental results show that statistically significant correlation between voice characteristics and some speech feature variables is observed.

Third order correlation function is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undtectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In order paper, we will introduce a real time third order correlator which consists of a laser light source, an acousto-optical modulator with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to computer for image processing. With this correlator, the third order correlation pattern of a signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallelnature of optical computing.

There are several methods for estimating the time delay between incoming signals to two sensors. Among them, the GCC-PHAT (Generalized Cross Correlation-Phase Transform) method, which estimates the relative delay from the signal whitening and the cross-correlation between the different signal inputs to the two sensors, is a traditionally well known method for achieving stable performance. In this paper, we have identified a part of GCC-PHAT that can improve the periodicity. Also, we apply the auto-correlation method that is widely used as a method to improve the periodicity. Comparing the proposed method with the GCC-PHAT method, we show that the proposed method improves the mean square error performance by 5 dB ~ 15 dB at the SNR above 0 dB for white Gaussian signal source and also show that the method improves the mean square error performance up to 15 dB at the SNR above 2 dB for the color signal source.

Radiative transfer models in a spherical, turbulent interstellar medium (ISM), in which the photon source is situated at the center, are calculated to investigate the correlation between the scattered light and the dust column density. The medium is modeled using fractional Brownian motion structures that are appropriate for turbulent ISM. The correlation plot between the scattered light and optical depth shows substantial scatter and deviation from simple proportionality. It was also found that the overall density contrast is smoothed out in scattered light. In other words, there is an enhancement of the dust-scattered flux in low-density regions, while the scattered flux is suppressed in high-density regions. The correlation becomes less significant as the scattering becomes closer to being isotropic and the medium becomes more turbulent. Therefore, the scattered light observed in near-infrared wavelengths would show much weaker correlation than the observations in optical and ultraviolet wavelengths. We also find that the correlation plot between scattered lights at two different wavelengths shows a tighter correlation than that of the scattered light versus the optical depth.

SSL (Sound Source Localization) has been applied to several applications such as man-machine interface, video conference system, smart car and so on. But in the process of sound source localization, angle estimation error is occurred mainly due to the non-linear characteristics of the sine inverse function. So an approach was proposed to decrease the effect of this non-linear characteristics, which divides the microphone's covering space into narrow regions. In this paper, we proposed an optimal space dividing way according to the pattern of microphone array. In addition, sound source's 2-dimensional position is estimated in order to evaluate the performance of this dividing method. In the experiment, GCC-PHAT (Generalized Cross Correlation PHAse Transform) method that is known to be robust with noisy environments is adopted and triangular pattern of 3 microphones and rectangular pattern of 4 microphones are tested with 100 speech data respectively. The experimental results show that triangular pattern can't estimate the correct position due to the lower space area resolution, but performance of rectangular pattern is dramatically improved with correct estimation rate of 67 %.

This study measured for comparison and analysis the correlation of River pollution and Soil contamination, based on the results of previous research, and then in order to increase the efficiency of study, heavy metals which cause serious side effects was limited to the case among pollutants. This study focused on the rivers that near the Urban and industrial districts, for example, Nak-Dong river, An-Yang river, Tae-Hwa river and the rivers that near the farm land or pasture, for example, Yeong-San river, Mi-Ho river, then compare and analyze the degree of actual pollution as gathered the results of Previous research. Correlationship about pollutants of river near the Urban, industrial area and drainage basin its river has been proven, and this expected because of the strong influence by point pollution source. On the other hand, I can found the opposite relationship where the river near the farm land or pasture, and this probably because of the influence by nonpoint pollution source.

The IVA(Independent Vector Analysis) is a well-known FD-ICA method used to solve the frequency permutation problem. It generally works quite well for blind source separation problems, but still needs some improvements in the frequency bin permutation problem. This paper proposes a post-processing method which can improve the source separation performance with the IVA by fixing the remaining frequency permutation problem. The proposed method makes use of the correlation coefficient of power ratio between frequency bins for separated signals with the IVA-based 2-channel source separation. Experimental results verified that the proposed method could fix the remaining frequency permutation problem in the IVA and improve the speech quality of the separated signals.

To estimate directions of multi-sound sources, we consider an approach based on zero crossings which provided more robust results to diffuse noise than the conventional cross-correlation-based method [6][7]. In reverberant environments, the performance of source direction estimation can be improved by using signal components through direct paths from sources to microphones. Since a cepstral prefiltering technique [8] removes the effect of reverberation, we propose a source direction estimation method which can find out intervals of the direct-path components by comparing original and cepstral-prefiltered envelopes. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the performance of source direction estimation in reverberant environments.

The whistle is a very important information source for the safety navigation under foggy weather. But navigator has no concern about this , because it must be achieved by human hearing sense and considered as a vague signal. If the range and relative bearing of signa source can be detected automatically, it would be very useful system for preventing marine casualties making a lot of economic loss and environment pollution. Before the algorithm of 2-dimensinal sound source tracking system was reported . This paper describes the method that can obtain thetime lag between three signas and the theory of cross-correlation analysis and subtraction method for cauculating the time lag by using the digital signal data sequences. And a series of experiments were carried out for various position of sound source in the range from 200m to 530cm.
