Two-microphone binary mask speech enhancement (2mBMSE) has been of particular interest in recent literature and has shown promising results. Current 2mBMSE systems rely on spatial cues of speech and noise sources. Although these cues are helpful for directional noise sources, they lose their efficiency in diffuse noise fields. We propose a new system that is effective in both directional and diffuse noise conditions. The system exploits two features. The first determines whether a given time-frequency (T-F) unit of the input spectrum is dominated by a diffuse or directional source. A diffuse signal is certainly a noise signal, but a directional signal could correspond to a noise or speech source. The second feature discriminates between T-F units dominated by speech or directional noise signals. Speech enhancement is performed using a binary mask, calculated based on the proposed features. In both directional and diffuse noise fields, the proposed system segregates speech T-F units with hit rates above 85%. It outperforms previous solutions in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and perceptual evaluation of speech quality improvement, especially in diffuse noise conditions.

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.

In this paper we present a generalized directional morphological filtering algorithm for the removal of impulse noise, which is based on a combination of impulse noise detection and a weighted rank-order morphological filtering technique. For salt (or pepper) noise suppression, the generalized directional opening (or closing) filtering of the input signal is selectively used. The detection of impulse noise can be done by the geometrical difference of opening and closing filtering. Simulations show that this new filter has better detail feature preservation with effective noise reduction compared to other nonlinear filtering techniques.

Road traffic noise barriers being used to reduce the noise, but the city surroundings inhibition, ecosystem disturbance, and it is difficult to maintain. Can enhance or complement the existing noise barrier performance, so that it is necessary to develop an electronic noise-reduction system In this paper, we proposed an electronic road noise reduction devices to reduce road noise for a DSP-based signal processing and analog signal input-output controller. In order to verify the control performance, we performed noise reduction experimentation of ANC by filtered-X LMS algorithm and traffic noise signal injection. The controller is equipped with noise reduction algorithms were tested on the characteristics of directional and omnidirectional speaker.

DIrectional Frequency Analysis and Recording(DIFAR) 소노부이는 대잠전에 효과적인 무기체계로 하나의 무지향성 센서와 두 개의 지향성 센서로 구성된 3채널 빔형성을 통해 표적의 방향을 탐지한다. 하지만, 주변 소음의 영향으로 DIFAR소노부이의 특정방위(0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) 표적 탐지 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 주변 소음을 추정하고 제거를 통해 DIFAR 소노부이의 표적 탐지 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 주변 소음 추정을 위해 소나신호처리에서 널리 쓰이는 Order Truncate Average(OTA)기법을, 추정된 소음을 제거하기 위해 음성신호처리에서 널리 쓰이는 위너필터링 기법을 사용하였다. 제안한 방법을 평가하기 위해 표적 방위추정 결과의 평균 제곱 오차를 비교한 결과 신호대잡음비 0 dB이하에서 제안한 방법이 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Underwater radiated noise is the key in acoustic stealth performance of modern naval ships. The underwater radiated noise predicted by the hull vibration with radiation efficiency cannot always give the information of radiation pattern which is essential to analyze of detection probability by enemy and to improve the operational performance of the naval ship. The radiation pattern of underwater radiated noise is able to be obtained with radiation efficiency and radiation directional coefficient. In this paper, a new method to extract the radiation efficiency and radiation directional coefficient is suggested and proved with the simulation and experiment by using cylindrical shell of 70 cm diameter in air.

This study is to describe the effects of the duct termination conditions conditions upon the active noise attenuation system. The adaptive filtering algorithm using FIR filter is implemented for duct noise attenuation. To avoid the instability caused by the acoustic feedback, two methods are considered. One is to use a compensating FIR filter. The other is to utilize uni-directional detecting microphone and uni-directional control speaker. Experimental results show that the reflections of sound from duct terminations greatly reduce the performance of ANC system. The directionality of detecting microphone and control speaker is a major factor to decide ANC performance. When there are some reflections from both duct terminations, the noise attenuation using finite FIR filter is not enough to model the duct plant. Especially, the reflection from the upstream termination reduces the noise attenuation in the frequencies related to the distance between control speaker and upstream termination. The performance of the noise attenuation is found to be largely enhanced by using uni-directional coupler, both on detecting microphone and control speaker, even if the duct system has an arbitrary termination conditions.

높은 방향성 소음환경하에서 DIFAR (Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording) 소노부이 (sonobuoy)와 같이 채널의 자유도가 낮은 시스템에서 넓은 빔폭과 낮은 신호 대 잡음비를 갖는 일반 빔형성 기법을 이용하여 음원의 방위 정보를 획득하는 것은 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 높은 방향성 소음환경에서 DIFAR 수신센서와 같이 센서의 수가 극히 제한된 경우에 적응 빔형성 기법을 응용하여 적용성을 검증하였다. 일반 빔형성 기법과 적응 빔형성 기법들은 모의된 방향성 신호에 의해 비교 평가되었으며, 최종적으로 실 신호를 적용하여 성능을 검증하였다.

Identification of asymmetry and anisotropy of rotor system is important for diagnosis of rotating machinery. Directional frequency response functions (dFRFs) are known to be a powerful tool in effectively detecting the presence of asymmetry or anisotropy. In this paper, an input noise effect of dFRFs for rotors is estimated, when both asymmetry and anisotropy are present. The normalized random errors of the dFRFs are calculated to verify the validity of the method, which is demonstrated by numerical simulation with a simple rotor model.
