In this paper, speech quality is improved by removing abrupt noise intervals and then substituting the gaps with estimates of the previous speech waveform. An abrupt noise detection signal has been proposed as a prediction error signal by utilizing LP coefficients of the previous frame. Abrupt noise intervals are estimated by using spectral energy. After removing estimated noise intervals, we applied several waveform substitution techniques such as zero substitution, previous frame repetition, pattern matching, and pitch waveform replication. To prove the validity of our algorithm, the LPC spectral distortion test and the recognition test are executed and, the results show that the speech quality is fairly well improved.

This article identifies and addresses current limitations on the use of numerical models for validation and/or calibration of damage detection methodologies that are based on the analysis of the high frequency response of the structure to identify the occurrence of abrupt anomalies. Distributed-plasticity non-linear fiber-based models in combination with experimental data from a full-scale reinforced concrete column test are used to point out current modeling techniques limitations. It was found that the numerical model was capable of reproducing the global and local response of the structure at a wide range of inelastic demands, including the occurrences of rebar ruptures. However, when abrupt sudden damage occurs, like rebar fracture, a high frequency pulse is detected in the accelerations recorded in the structure that the numerical model is incapable of reproducing. Since the occurrence of such pulse is fundamental on the detection of damage, it is proposed to add this effect to the simulated response before it is used for validation purposes.

Mallat has shown that, with a proper choice of wavelet function, the local maxima of wavelet transformed signal indicate a sharp variation in the signal. Since the glottal closure causes sharp discontinuities in the speech signal, dyadic wavelet transform can be useful for detecting abrupt change in the voiced sounds, i.e., epochs. In this paper, we investigate the glottal closure instants obtained from the wavelet analysis of speech signal and compare them with those obtained from the EGG signal. Then, we detect pitch period of speech signal on the basis of these results. Experimental results demonstrated that local maxima of wavelet transformed signal give accurate estimation of epoch and pitch periods of voiced sound obtained by the proposed algorithm also correspond to those from EGG well.

본 논문에서는 MPEG으로 압축된 영상에 대해서 급격한 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계(cut)와 점진적 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계(dissolve)를 검출하여 비디오 shot을 분할하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 shot 경계 검출 기법은 기존에 잘 검출하지 못하였던 점진적 장면 변화에 의한 shot의 경계검출을 위한 알고리즘이다. 먼저 압축영역의 기법 중 DCT DC 값을 비교하는 방법을 이용하여 급격한 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계를 검출한다. 그리고 움직임 벡터(MV)의 비를 비교하는 방법을 사용하여 점진적 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계의 후보지들을 얻어내고, 선택된 후보지들 중 n번째와 n+2번째 후보지 영상으로 feded image를 만들어 n+1번째 후보지의 영상과 유사도를 비교하여 점진적 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계를 검출한다. 이와 같이 압축영역의 기법으로 급격한 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계와 점진적 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계 후보지를 검출해 내고, 검출된 shot 경계 후보지들에서 점진적 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계를 검출하는 방법을 함으로서 MPEG 비디오 영상의 복원량을 최소화하여 수행 속도를 높이면서도 급격한 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계와 점진적 장면 변화에 의한 shot 경계, 두 가지 모두를 효과적으로 검출할 수 있었다.

Vibration transient generated by developing localized fault in gear can be used as indicators in gear fault detection. In this paper, we propose the zoomed phase map for a fault signal using continuous wavelet transfers to detect this vibration transient. Local fault induces the abrupt fluctuation of load exciting tooth and phase lag in the vibration signal measured on the gearbox. The relatively large fault like "tip breakage" easily can be detected by the clear fluctuation of exciting load. However, minor fault like "initial pitting"cannot be detected using the load fluctuation. To defect this kind of minor fault, the phase map for a fault signal is taken into account. The phase lag by minor fault is observed well in the zoomed phase map.

A Novel way to support typical Thermal Shut Down(TSD) circuit is proposed. In power ICs, on-time or on-duration is the key factor to anticipate an abrupt increase of internal temperature. Such an abrupt raise of the temperature can cause TSD circuit cannot protect on proper time due to the temperature detection delay come from the physical distance or the imperfect coupling between heat sources and detector. The proposed circuit checks the duty ratio touched their maximum or not in every cycle. Once duty ratio touches the maximum duty, new circuit generates the warning signal to the TSD circuit and lowers pre-determined temperature for shut down to compensate the detection delay. The novel circuit will be analyzed to the transistor level and checked the validity by simulation.

For the efficient coding and transmission, the speech signal can be classified into three distinctive classes: voiced, unvoiced, and transition classes. At low bit rate coding below 4 kbit/s, conventional sinusoidal transform coders synthesize speech of high quality for the purely voiced and unvoiced classes, whereas not for the transition class. The transition class including plosive sound and abrupt voiced-onset has the lack of periodicity, thus it is often classified and synthesized as the unvoiced class. In this paper, the efficient algorithm for the transition class detection is proposed, which demonstrates superior detection performance not only for clean speech but for noisy speech. For the detected transition frame, phase information is transmitted instead of magnitude information for speech synthesis. From the listening test, it was shown that the proposed algorithm produces better speech quality than the conventional one.

디지털 미디어 데이터의 증가에 따라 디지털 미디어를 효과적으로 관리하고 사용하기 위하여 다양한 비디오 색인 및 비디오 시퀀스 정합을 위한 장면전환 검출 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 급격한 밝기 변화를 가지는 비디오 시퀀스에 대해서 효율적인 비디오 장면전환 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 급격한 밝기 변화를 고려한 비디오 색인의 정확도를 향상시키고 계산량을 줄이기 위해 제안한 알고리즘은 칼라 특성뿐만 아니라 에지 특성도 함께 사용하였으며 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 현저한 성능 향상을 보였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 먼저 칼라 히스토그램을 사용하여 후보 샷경계 지점을 추출하고 에지 정합과 밝기 보상을 이용하여 후보점들이 샷경계인지 밝기 변화인지를 결정한다. 장면내의 밝기 변화가 작은 경우 에지 정합과 밝기 보상은 샷경계에서만 일어난다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 비슷한 계산량으로 현저히 향상된 성능과 효율을 보였다.

GPS is widely used for outdoor positioning in many applications. But it is not suitable for positioning in an obstacle environment such as urban area, tunnels and so on, due to variable signal level. So new technology of the positioning is required to provide the consistent error level regardless of any changes in any environment. Abrupt changes of GPS signal can be detected by various fault detection and isolation methods. Conventional FDI (Fault Detection and Isolation) methods are categorized into two approaches. One approach is the snapshot method that uses measurements only at present step. The other approach is the filtering method that uses measurements stacked from previous step to present step. The FDI result of the snapshot method can be considered reliable independently with previous results and the FDI result of the filtering method is more reliable and detection time is a little longer. Therefore combining approach of two methods is proposed for increasing FDI performance in this paper. Three approaches that are the snapshot method, the filtering method and the combining method are compared to show the probability of correct FDI in simulations. The combining approach presents best result of FDI among them and shows the consistent accuracy irrespective of any changes in outdoor environment.

신호처리 관련 응용문제에서는 신호에서 실시간으로 발생하는 비정상적인 사건들을 탐지하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이전에 알려져 있는 비정상 사건 탐지방법들은 신호에 대한 명확한 통계적인 모형을 가정하고, 비정상적인 신호들은 통계적인 모형의 가정 하에서 비정상적인 사건들로 해석한다. 탐지방법으로 최대우도와 베이즈 추정 이론이 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 앞에서 언급한 방법으로는 로버스트 하고 다루기 쉬운 모형을 추정한다는 것은 쉽지가 않다. 좀 더 로버스트한 모형을 추정할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 로버스트 하다고 알려져 있는 서포트 벡터 기계를 이용하여 온라인으로 비정상적인 신호를 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다.
