본 논문은 음향 임펄스를 모델링하는데 코사인 변조된 필터 뱅크와 Decimation을 이용하여 수렴 속도를 개선하는 방법을 제안하고 이를 잡음제거에 응용하였다. 제안된 구조는 입력신호를 필터뱅크를 이용하여 각 서브밴드로 분할한 후 필터 입력신호의 고유벡터의 최대값과 최소값의 비를 줄이고 필터의 탭수를 줄이기 위해서 decimation을 행한다. 그리고 서브밴드대역의 샘플링 주파수를 낮추어 신호 스펙트럼을 확장시켜 이를 적응필터에 입력하여 수렴속도를 향상시켰다. 실험 결과, Colored잡음의 경우 LMS 알고리즘보다 제안된 방법이 MSE(Mean Square Error)는 좋지는 않았다. 실제 음향시스템의 모델링에는 거의 같은 MSE을 갖으며, 수렴 속도에는 모두 빠른 성능을 보였으며, 이를 음질향상에 적용하여 향상된 음질을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper we propose a method for performance enhancement of speech recognizer under noisy conditions. The parallel combination model which is presented at the PMC method using multiple Gaussian-distributed mixtures have been adapted to the variation of each mixture. The CDHMM(continuous observation density HMM) which has multiple Gaussian distributed mixtures are combined by the proposed PMC method. Also, the EM(expectation maximization) algorithm is used for adapting the model mean parameter in order to reduce the variation of the mixture density. The result of simulation, the proposed PMC adaptation method show better performance than the conventional PMC method.

Beamforming is one of the spatial filtering techniques which extract only desired signals from noisy environments using microphone arrays. Fixed beamforming is a simple concept and easy to implement. However, it does not show good performance in real noisy conditions. As an adaptive beamforming, Frost algorithm can be a good candidate. It uses the concept of the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) algorithm. The difference between the Frost and the LCMV algorithm is the error correction scheme which is very effective feature in the aspect of performance. In this paper, as quadrature mirror filtering (QMF)-based filterbank is utilized as the pre-processing of the Frost beamformning, the filter length and the learning rate of each band is optimized to improve the performance. The performance is measured by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the Bark's scale spectral distortion (BSD).

In this paper, we propose a new method for selecting the threshold on wavelet packet denoising. In selecting threshold, the method using median is not efficient. Because this method can not recover unvoiced signal corrupted by noise. So we partition a speech signal corrupted by noise into the pure noise section and voiced section using autocorrelation and entropy. The autocorrelation and entropy can reflect disorder of noise. The new method yields more improved denoising effect. Especially unvoiced signal is very nicely reconstructed, and SNR is improved.

The officer of the deck(OOD) may sometimes have to carry out lookout as well as handling of auto pilot without a quartermaster at sea. The purpose of this paper is to develop the ship's auto pilot control module using speech recognition in order to reduce the potential risk of one man bridge system. The feature parameters predicting the OOD's intention was extracted from the sample wheel orders written in SMCP(IMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases). We designed a pre-recognition procedure which could make some candidate words using DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) algorithm, a post-recognition procedure which made a final decision from the candidate words using the feature parameters. To evaluate the effectiveness of these procedures the experiment was conducted with 500 wheel orders.

음성인식시스템은 사람이 별도의 장비 없이 음성만으로 시스템의 사용이 가능한 편리한 장점을 지니고 있으나 여러 가지 기술적인 어려움과 실제 환경의 낮은 인식률로 폭넓게 사용되지 못한 상황이다. 그 중 배경잡음은 음성인식의 인식률을 저하시키는 원인으로 지적 받고 있다. 이러한 잡음환경에 있는 ASR(Automatic Speech Recognition)의 성능 향상을 위해 외측억제 기능 이 추가된 파라미터를 제안한다. ASR 에서 널리 사용되는 파라미터인 MFCC을 본 논문에서 제안한 파라미터와 HMM를 이용하여 인식률을 비교하여 성능을 비교하였다. 실험결과를 통해 제안된 파라미터의 사용을 통해 잡음환경에 있는 ASR의 성능 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

The final purpose of this paper is the enhancement of speech recognition rate under the matched telephone environment between training data and test data. To analyze the effect by the distortion of the changing telephone channel on every call, MFCC is used as the feature parameter and CMN, RTCN, and RASTA are used as channel compensation techniques. For each case, the variation of feature parameters of all phones is analyzed. And, we find recognition rates according to each compensation method using the continuous HMM recognizer, and examine the relationship between variation and recognition rate.

Recently, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), a special form of CHMM, has been applied to speaker identification and it has proved that performance of GMM is better than CHMM. Therefore, in this paper the speaker models based on GMM and a new GMM using the modified EM algorithm are introduced and evaluated for text-independent speaker identification. Various experiments were performed to evaluate identification performance of two algorithms. As a result of the experiments, the GMM speaker model attained 94.6% identification accuracy using 40 seconds of training data and 32 mixtures and 97.8% accuracy using 80 seconds of training data and 64 mixtures. On the other hand, the new GMM speaker model achieved 95.0% identification accuracy using 40 seconds of training data and 32 mixtures and 98.2% accuracy using 80 seconds of training data and 64 mixtures. It shows that the new GMM speaker identification performance is better than the GMM speaker identification performance.
