In this paper, we propose a vocal separation method using weighted ${\beta}$-order minimum mean wquare error estimation (WbE) based on kernel back-fitting algorithm. In spoken speech enhancement, it is well-known that the WbE outperforms the existing Bayesian estimators such as the minimum mean square error (MMSE) of the short-time spectral amplitude (STSA) and the MMSE of the logarithm of the STSA (LSA), in terms of both objective and subjective measures. In the proposed method, WbE is applied to a basic iterative kernel back-fitting algorithm for improving the vocal separation performance from monaural music signal. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better separation performance than other existing methods.

Active Appearance Models(AAMs)은 얼굴인식, 얼굴추적, 표정인식 뿐만 아니라 눈동자 추적과 같은 분야에도 적용되어 좋은 성능을 보여 주었다. 보통 AAM 을 생성하기 위해서는 얼굴 영상과 얼굴의 특징을 나타내는 점으로 구성된 매쉬로 이루어 지는 트레이닝 셋이 필요하다. AAM fitting algorithm 은 학습한 얼굴과 유사한 얼굴을 Fitting 할 때에는 뛰어난 성능을 보이지만 조명에 의한 그림자 또는 액세서리에 의한 얼굴의 피부 가림과 같이 전체 얼굴이 잘 나타나지 않는 불완전한 영상의 Fitting 은 입력영상과 템플릿 영상간의 오차가 커지기 때문에 실패할 가능성이 매우 높다. 본 논문에서 우리는 AAMs 에서 사용되는 PCA를 Higher-order Singular Value Decomposition(HOSVD)로 대체하여 이 문제를 보완하는 강화된 AAM 을 제안한다. 제안된 AAM 에는 기존에 사용하던 고유벡터와 함께 HOSVD 를 통해 획득할 수 있는 Eigen-Modes 를 추가하여 사용한다. 또한 우리는 Yale Face Database를 이용한 평가를 통해 제안된 AAM 이 기존 AAM 보다 불완전한 영상에 효과적으로 대응하는 것을 보여준다.

We developed the experimental function (ERF) which can be used for the numerical curve fitting analysis in photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). We selected the core-levels of Ag 3d5/2 and Au 4f7/2 to obtain the ERF from the measured core-level spectra. For the numerical fourier transformation we applied the fast transform (FFT) algorithm. we considered optical (Wiener) filtering with the FFT due to noise and used Hann window function to remedy the information leakage in frequency domain due to discrete and finite sampling of measurement. The comparison of the curve fitting results using the ERF obtained in this work and the mathematical response function with a gaussian in the conventional approach shows clearly the improvement of the curve fitting analysis.

For machining auto-mobile cam, the developed biarcs-fitting method eliminates the ridge problems in conventional straight-line fitting approximation or single-arc fitting of curve tool path where it leaves ridges of tool marks on the machined surface of the workpiece. The powerful advantage of this biarc method is demonstrated by applying it to the numerically controlled machining of a curved cam profile, also verified by using a CNC simulating program for auto-mobile cam profile. As a result, this algorithm may be used in CNC milling and turning for cam profile machining with short block line.

An algorithm is proposed to find a stable rational function, which is frequently used in the linear system theory, by curve-fitting a given data. This problem is essentially a nonolinear optimization problem. In order to converge faster to the solution, the following method is used. First, the coefficients of the denominator polynomial are fixed and only the coefficients of the numerator polynomial are adjusted by its linear relationships. Then the coefficients of the numerator are fixed and the coefficients of the denominator polynomial are adjusted by nonlinear programming. This whole process is repeated until a convergent solution is found. The solution obtained by this method converges better than by other algorithms and its versatility is demonstrated by applying it to the design of a feedback control system and a low pass filter.

This paper introduced the new calibration algorithm of a straight-type five-hole pressure probe necessary for calculating three-dimensional flow velocity components. The new velocity data reduction method using both a commercial two-dimensional curve-fitting program and the zone partition method of a calibration map was firstly introduced in this study. This new calibration method can be applied up to the wide flow angle of ${\pm}80^{\circ}$ despite of using a five-hole pressure probe because this data reduction method showed a comparatively good performance in calculating yaw and pitch angles from the calibration map.

Active Appearance Model is a well-known model that can represent a non-rigid object effectively. However, since it uses the fixed appearance model, the fitting results are often unsatisfactory when the imaging condition of the target image is different from that of training images. To alleviate this problem, incremental AAM was proposed which updates its appearance bases in an on-line manner. However, it cannot deal with the sudden changes of illumination. To overcome this, we propose a novel scheme to update the appearance bases. When a new person appears in the input image, we synthesize illuminated images of that person and update the appearance bases of AAM using it. Since we update the appearance bases using synthesized illuminated images in advance, the AAM can fit their model to a target image well when the illumination changes drastically. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm improves the fitting performance over both the incremental AAM and the original AAM.

This study concerns the derivation of optimum tuning formulas for a passive Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) device, for the case of benchmark ideal excitations acting on a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) damped primary structure. The free TMD parameters are tuned first through a non-linear gradient-based optimisation algorithm, for the case of harmonic or white noise excitations, acting either as force on the SDOF primary structure or as base acceleration. The achieved optimum TMD parameters are successively interpolated according to appropriate analytical fitting proposals, by non-linear least squares, in order to produce simple and effective TMD tuning formulas. In particular, two fitting models are presented. The main proposal is composed of a simple polynomial relationship, refined within the fitting process, and constitutes the optimum choice. A second model refers to proper modifications of literature formulas for the case of an undamped primary structure. The results in terms of final (interpolated) optimum TMD parameters and of device effectiveness in reducing the structural dynamic response are finally displayed and discussed in detail, showing the wide and ready-to-use validity of the proposed optimisation procedure and achieved tuning formulas. Several post-tuning trials have been carried out as well on SDOF and MDOF shear-type frame buildings, by confirming the effective benefit provided by the proposed optimum TMD.

In this paper, we propose a learning algorithm of fuzzy neural networks with trapezoidal fuzzy weights. This fuzzy neural networks can use fuzzy numbers as well as real numbers, and represent linguistic information better than standard neural networks. We construct trapezodal fuzzy weights by the composition of two triangles, and devise a learning algorithm using the two triangular membership functions, The results of computer simulations on numerical data show that the fuzzy neural networks have high fitting ability for target output.
