In this paper, we propose a maximum-likelihood estimation(MLE) method to obtain the location and the amplitude of the pulses in MPE( multi-pulse excitation)-LPC speech synthesis using multi-pulses as excitation source. This MLE method computes the value maximizing the likelihood function with respect to unknown parameters(amplitude and position of the pulses) for the observed data sequence. Thus in the case of overlapped pulses, the method is equivalent to Ozawa's crosscorrelation method, resulting in equal amount of computation and sound quality with the cross-correlation method. We show by computer simulation: the multi-pulses obtained by MLE method are(1) pseudo-periodic in pitch in the case of voicde sound, (2) the pulses are random for unvoiced sound, (3) the pulses change from random to periodic in the interval where the original speech signal changes from unvoiced to voiced. Short time power specta of original speech and syunthesized speech obtained by using multi-pulses as excitation source are quite similar to each other at the formants.

This paper investigates edge effects on the relationship between the underlying tonal sequence and its surface realization in the IP-final Accentual Phrase within the Optimality Theoretic framework. I will examine the way in which AP tones are aligned with their associated syllables in IP-final position. In Korean. Jun's (1996) 'see-saw effect' does not allow any two identical tones if they are marking a boundary of a prosodic group. A phonetic experiment conducted in this paper suggests that the 'see-saw effect' only apply to H boundary tones. Furthermore, it will be shown that the timing of tonal peaks is determined through the ranking of a set of violable constraints. The AP tonal realization is achieved through the access to the global intonation in a complicated way. In the course of discussion, pitch patterns in IP-medial Accentual Phrase will also be discussed.

This presentation aims to explore some possibility of non-segmental phonetics usually ignored in phonetics education. In pedagogical phonetics, especially ESL/EFL oriented phonetics speech sounds tend to be classified in two criteria 1) 'pronunciation' which deals with segments and 2) 'prosody' or 'suprasegmentals', a criterion that deals with non-segmental elements such as stress and intonation. However, speech involves more dynamic processing. It is non-linear and multi-dimensional in spite of the linear sequence of symbols in phonetic/phonological transcriptions. No word is without pitch or voice quality apart from segmental characteristics whether it is spoken in isolation or cut out from continuous speech. This simply tells the dichotomy of pronunciation and prosody is merely a useful convention. There exists some room to consider dynamic non-segmental phonetics. Examples of non-segmental phonetic investigation, some of the analyses conducted within the frame of Firthian Prosodic Analysis, especially of the relation between vowel variants and foot types, are examined and we see what kind of auditory phonetic training is required to understand impressionistic transcriptions which lie behind the non-segmental phonetics.

In this paper, humming based automatic music creation method is described. It is difficult for the general public which does not have music theory to compose the music in general. However, almost people can make the main melody by a humming. With this motivation, a melody and chord sequences are estimated by the humming analysis. In this paper, humming is generated without a metronome. Then based on the estimated chord sequence, accompaniment is generated using the MIDI template matched to each chord. The 5 Genre is supported in the music creation. The melody transcription is evaluated in terms of onset and pitch estimation accuracy and MOS evaluation is used for created music evaluation.

This paper is written for the development of boiler combustion air control algorithm of coal-fired power plant by the steps of design, coding and test. The control algorithms were designed in the shape of cascade control for two parts of air master, forced draft fan pitch blade by standard function blocks. This control algorithms were coded to the control programs of distributed control systems under development. The simulator for coal-fired power plant was used in the test step and automatic control, sequence control and emergency stop tests were performed successfully like the tests of the actual power plant. The reliability will be obtained enough to apply to actual site if the total test has been completed in the state that all algorithms were linked mutually. It is expected that the project result will contribute to the safe operation of domestic power plant and the self-reliance of coal-fired power plant control technique.

Tire manufactures have dealt with noise problem by varying the pitch of the tread. The various formulas for the variations are generally determined differently, however. Often these variations are based on a combination of trial and error, intuition, and economics. Some manufactures have models and analogs to test tread patterns and their variations. These efforts, however practical, do not determine the best variation beforehand or guarantee the best results. For this reason it was felt that a general mathematical approach fur determining the best variation was needed. Moreover, the method should be completely general, easy to use, and sufficiently accurate. This paper discusses a mathematical method called Mechanical Frequency Modulation(MFM) which meets the above requirements. Thus, MFM pertains to computing an irregular time sequence of events so that the resulting excitation spectrum is shaped to a preferred form. The first part of this paper treats the theoretical basis for computing an optimum variation ; the second part discusses experimental results and simulation program which corroborate the theory.

본 논문에서는 포맷 변환기를 사용하여 여러 가지 화상처리 필터링을 구현하였다. 이러한 설계 기법은 집적회로를 이용한 대규모 화소처리 배열을 근거로 하여 실현하였다. 집적구조의 두가지 형태는 연산병렬프로세서와 병렬 프로세스 DRAM(또는 SRAM) 셀로 분류할 수 시다. 1비트 논리의 설계 피치는 집적 구조에서의 고밀도 PE를 배열하기 위한 메모리 셀 피치와 동일하다. 이러한 포맷 변환기 설계는 효율적인 제어 경로 수행 능력을 가지고 있으며 하드웨어를 복잡하게 할 필요 없이 고급 기술로 사용 될 수 있다. 배열 명령어의 순차는 프로세스가 시작되기 전에 주 컴퓨터에 의해 생성이 되며 명령은 유니트 제어기에 저장이 된다. 주 컴퓨터는 프로세싱이 시작된 후에 저장된 명령어위치에서 시작하여 화소-병렬 동작을 처리하게 된다. 실험 결과 1) 단순한 평활화는 더 높은 공간의 주파수를 억제하면서 잡음을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 에지를 흐리게 할 수 있으며, 2) 평활화와 분할 과정은 날카로운 에지를 보존하면서 잡음을 감소시키고, 3) 메디안 필터링기법은 화상 잡음을 줄이기 위해 적용될 수 있고 날카로운 에지는 유지하면서 스파이크 성분을 제거하고 화소 값에서 단조로운 변화를 유지 할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 감정을 통해 단어의 의미가 변화될 때 운율과 음질로 표현되는 음향 요소가 어떠한 역할을 하는지 분석한다. 이를 위해 6명의 발화자에 의해 5가지 감정 상태로 표현된 60개의 데이터를 이용하여 감정에 따른 운율과 음질의 변화를 살펴본다. 감정에 따른 운율과 음질의 변화를 찾기 위해 8개의 음향 요소를 분석하였으며, 각 감정 상태를 표현하는 주요한 요소를 판별 해석을 통해 통계적으로 분석한다. 그 결과 화남의 감정은 음의 세기 및 2차 포먼트 대역너비와 깊은 연관이 있음을 확인할 수 있었고, 기쁨의 감정은 2차와 3차 포먼트 값 및 음의 세기와 연관이 있으며, 슬픔은 음질 보다는 주로 음의 세기와 높낮이 정보에 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 공포는 음의 높낮이와 2차 포먼트 값 및 그 대역너비와 깊은 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 감정 음성 인식 시스템뿐만 아니라, 감정 음성 합성 시스템에서도 적극 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

본 논문에서는 저가형 하천측량시스템 개발을 위해 다중의 단일주파수 GPS 수신기를 사용하여 측량선의 정밀 위치와 자세각을 동시에 결정할 수 있는 관측데이터 모델링 기법을 연구하여 기준국 2대와 이동국 3대에서 취득한 GPS 관측데이터와 이동국 기선장을 구속하는 동적네트워크 관측데이터 모델을 도출하였다. 이 모델을 기반으로 정수제약 최소제곱법에 의한 정밀 3차원 위치추정 및 자세각 결정알고리즘을 구현하고 측량구역 2km 내외에 대한 수치실험을 통해 그 정확도를 분석하였다. 동적모드에 대하여 OTF 연속미지정수결정 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 99.0% 경우에서 2초 이내에 미지정수 결정이 가능하였으며, 이때 추정위치의 평균제곱근 오차는 수평과 수직방향에 대해 각각 ±1cm와 ±2cm정도였다. 또한 측량선의 기하구조에 대한 GPS 추정 자세각 정확도는 요각, 피치각, 롤각 순서를 보였으며, 정량적으로 이동국 기선장이 3∼6m인 하천측량선을 고려 할 때 요각 ±1′ 내외, 피치 및 롤각 각각 10′과 ±20′ 이상, 이에 반해 기선장 6∼15m 정도인 수로조사선의 경우 요, 피치, 롤각에 대해 각각 ±1′, ±5′ 그리고 ±10′ 이상 확보가 가능 할 것으로 분석되었다.
