We propose a new method to apply shape analysis techniques to a computational auditory scene analysis (CASA)-based speech separation system. The conventional CASA-based speech separation system extracts speech signals from a mixture of speech and noise signals. In the proposed method, we complement the missing speech signals by applying the shape analysis techniques such as labelling and distance function. In the speech separation experiment, the proposed method improves signal-to-noise ratio by 6.6 dB. When the proposed method is used as a front-end of speech recognizers, it improves recognition accuracy by 22% for the speech-shaped stationary noise condition and 7.2% for the two-talker noise condition at the target-to-masker ratio than or equal to -3 dB.

본 논문은 시간지연 컨볼루션 혼합신호의 암묵잡음분리방법에 관한 것이다. 폐쇄된 공간에서 음향신호의 혼합모델은 다채널이기 때문에 convolutive 암묵신호분리방법을 적용하며 두 마이크 입력신호의 시간지연된 데이터 샘플들을 사용한다. 이 신호분리방법은 분리계수를 직접 계산하는 것이 아니라 역방향 모델을 이용하여 혼합계수를 산출하며, 계수의 갱신이 2차 통계적 성질에 기반한 반복적인 계산에 의해 이루어진다. 제안한 암묵신호분리의 성능을 검증하기 위해 많은 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 모의실험 결과, 이 방법을 사용한 잡음분리는 컨볼루션혼합에 상관없이 안전하게 동작하고, 일반적인 적응 FIR(Finite Impulse Response) 필터구조에 비해 PESQ(Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality)가 0.3점 개선되는 것으로 나타났다.

The unsteady flow structure and the related noise generation, which are caused by the separation of a two-dimensional, incompressible, laminar boundary-layer on the flat plate under the influence of local adverse pressure gradient, are numerically examined. The characteristic lines of the wall pressure are examined to understand the unsteady behavior of vortex shedding near the reattachment point of the separation bubble. Also, the generation and propagation of the vortex-induced noise in the separated boundary-layer are calculated by the method of computational aero-acoustics (CAA), and the effects of Reynolds number, Mach number and the strength of the adverse pressure gradient on the unsteady flow and noise characteristics are examined.

In this research, we investigated active vibration control based on wave-viewpoint using the longitudinal wave separation method. The control strategy is the one of active vibration control technique for generating vibration reduced zone and uses wave information including the directivity as the cost function. In order to get the wave information from the measured values, we proposed and examined the time-domain longitudinal wave separation method proper to real time application like active vibration control. Using the proposed method, we examine the performance and feasibility of active vibration control based wave view-point through the simulation. The related experimental verification and application is going to be expected in a near future.

In order to identify a transfer function model with noise, penalty function method has been widely used. In this method, estimation process for possible model parameters from low to higher order proceeds the model identification process. In this study, based on linear estimation method, a new approach unifying the estimation and the identification of ARMAX model is proposed. For the parameter estimation of a transfer function model with noise, linear estimation method by noise separation is suggested instead of nonlinear estimation method. The feasibility of the proposed model identification and estimation method is verified through simulations, namely by applying the method to time series model. In the case of time series model with noise, the proposed method successfully identifies the transfer function model with noise without going through model parameter identification process in advance. A new algorithm effectively achieving model identification and parameter estimation in unified frame has been proposed. This approach is different from the conventional method used for identification of ARMAX model which needs separate parameter estimation and model identification processes. The consistency and the accuracy of the proposed method has been verified through simulations.

본 논문에서는 선형적으로 흔합된 영상신호에 잡음이 첨가된 영상을 대상으로 뉴우턴법과 할선법의 고정점 알고리즘 독립성분분석을 적용하여 분리성능을 비교${\cdot}$검토하였다. 여기서 뉴우턴법의 고정점 알고리즘은 기울기 변화에 따른 속성을 이용하며, 할선법의 고정점 알고리즘은 접선의 변화를 이용하는 속성을 가진다. 실험에 이용된 신호는 2개의 $512\times512$ 픽셀 2차원 영상이며, 가우스 분포와 라플라스 분포의 잡음을 각각 이용하였다. 실험 결과, 원 영상을 분리하는 시간에서는 뉴우턴법의 고정점 알고리즘 독립성분분석이 할선법의 고정점 알고리즘 독립성분분석보다 보다 빠르며, 복원성능에서는 할선법의 고정점 알고리즘 독립성분분석이 더욱 우수한 특성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 잡음이 많이 첨가될수록 뉴우턴법의 FP-ICA와 할선법의 FP-ICA사이의 추출속도와 분리성능은 더욱 더 큰 차이가 있음도 알 수 있었다.

The separation mechanism is installed to separate a note one by one from the stacked notes and the overlap type, one of separation mechanism, has been used a lot in financial equipments like ATM. This paper has compared and estimated analysis results using finite element method with experimental results over various parameters such as conditions of note, overlap value, roller shapes, which affect the friction force (resistance) exerting on notes between rollers. Consequently, the effect of various parameters on the performance of overlap type separation mechanism can be known and optimal shape and overlap value can be obtained.

This paper deals with an application of adaptive blind source separation (BSS) method, equivariant adaptive separation via independence (EASI), and Teager Energy Operator (TEO) for online identification of structural modal parameters. The aim of adaptive BSS methods is recovering a set of independent sources from their unknown linear mixtures in each step when a new sample is received. In the proposed approach, firstly, the EASI method is used to decompose structural responses into independent sources at each instance. Secondly, the TEO based demodulation method with discrete energy separation algorithm (DESA-1) is applied to each independent source, and the instantaneous frequencies and damping ratios are extracted. The DESA-1 method can provide the fast time response and has high resolution so it is suitable for online problems. This paper also compares the performance of DESA-1 algorithm with Hilbert transform (HT) method. Compared to HT method, the DESA-1 method requires smaller amounts of samples to estimate and has a smaller computational complexity and faster adaption due to instantaneous characteristic. Furthermore, due to high resolution of the DESA-1 algorithm, it is very sensitive to noise and outliers. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been validated using synthetic examples and a benchmark structure.

In this paper, we propose a speech recognition method based on independent component analysis (ICA) and spectral enhancement techniques. While ICA tris to separate speech signal from noisy speech using multiple channels, some noise remains by its algorithmic limitations. Spectral enhancement techniques can compensate for lack of ICA's signal separation ability. From the speech recognition experiments with instantaneous and convolved mixing environments, we show that the proposed approach gives much improved recognition accuracies than conventional methods.

This paper addresses a method of convolutive source separation that based on SEONS (Second Order Nonstationary Source Separation) [1] that was originally developed for blind separation of instantaneous mixtures using nonstationarity. In order to tackle this problem, we transform the convolutive BSS problem into multiple short-term instantaneous problems in the frequency domain and separated the instantaneous mixtures in every frequency bin. Moreover, we also employ a H infinity filtering technique in order to reduce the sensor noise effect. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and compare its performances with existing methods.
