Most of life thing including human being have tendency of reaction with inherently their own pattern against environmental change caused by such as light, sound, smell etc. Especially, a sense of direction often works as a very important factor in such reaction. Actually, human or animal lift that can react instantly to a stimulus determine their action with a sense of direction to a stimulant. In this paper, we try to propose how to give a sense of direction to a robot using sound being representative stimulant, and tracking sensors being able to detect the direction of such sound source. We also try to propose how to determine the relative directions among devices or robots using the digital compass and the RSSI on wireless network.

The present study aims to investigate the effects of sound diffusers and absorbers on the sound clarity in classrooms. In order to do this, computer simulations were carried out to find the effective area of treatment which could enhance the sound clarity in the room. Acoustic measurements were undertaken in a lecture room with several conditions changing the surface of walls and ceilings with diffusers and absorbers. Diffusion and absorption treatments were applied to the side walls, rear wall and the ceiling of the classroom. SPL, RT, D50, RASTI were measured at 9 measurement points with one sound source and MLS was used as the sound source signal. The results show that higher sound clarity was obtained when diffusers were applied to rear walls and ceiling rather than side walls. Also, it was confirmed that absorption increased sound clarity more effectively with smaller amount in comparison with diffusers. It was also concluded that the effects of sound diffusers and absorbers on the sound clarity could be obtained distinctly at the rear area of the classroom.

Cavities are inevitable structures in automobile configuration. The flow-induced noise is generated from the wheel housing section by the interaction between a rotating wheel and the unsteady flows in the cavity. In this research the wheel housing was assumed by a rectangular cavity for simplification. We measured the radiated sound from the 2-D cavity without cylinder and from the rotating cylinder in the cavity by using the sound source localization method with an acoustic mirror system. In the 2-D cavity case of low Mach number(Ma=0.029), the sound sources were found to be located near the leading edge of cavity due to the shear layer instabilities. Comparing the cases of the rotating and the non-rotating cylinder, it is observed that the sound Pressure levels around the rotating cylinder in the cavity increased and the main acoustic sources were located at the rear section of the rotating wheel.

This paper concerns the prediction of railway noise propagation using scale model experiment in acoustics. In order to make acoustical experiment the digital signal processing technique are applied and spark discharge sound sources have been developed in which impulse response measured in 1/20 scale model railway. In the case of scale model experiment, it is difficult to realize sufficiently small size and directivity and to get sufficient sound energy and to get repeatability. Several type of Spark discharge sound source is made in laboratory. Experiment results are compared with the calculated results by the prediction model. As the results, it was found that railway noise could be predicted in acoustical scale model experiment using spark discharge sound source.

In the previous test, the verification of the standard floor impact source was carried out comparing the physical characteristics with living impact sources. The result was appeared the validation of the standard impact source was very low because of differences of physical characteristics. This study aims to evaluate annoyance and loudness of standard impact source which is used for the measurement of floor impact sound, and to compare the annoyance and loudness of living impact sources which are produced in real life. The impact sources considered are tapping machine, tire and impact ball as standard sources, and nine real sources which were chosen from the existing researches. The result showed differences of annoyance and loudness between standard impact sources and living impact sources, which means the standard impact sources may rate the performance of floor system inappropriately. In the future, the rating method should be examined how the standard impact sources are similar with real sources in the point of rating the performance of floor system.

We have reported the new measurement system which was substituted digital filter for the analog filter in order to develop the optimal system that could find the time delay between each sensors with high accuracy. And also we have confirmed through the experiments that the accuracy of measurements were differentiated by the methods what kind of digital filter had been adopted. This paper suggests two algorithms which approximate the sound source's bearing and distance. One is that sound source's relative bearing can be approximately regarded as the gradient of hyperbolic asymptote, the other is that the source's range can be approximated under the condition of a long range source relative to the sensor's interval. And a series of experiments were carried out with the source's distance 22.42meters and the random bearing interval within the limits of $-90^{\circ}$~$+90^{\circ}$. As a result, we have recognized that the approximation methods could measure the bearing and distance with higher accuracy than the method using trigonometric relation could do.

불법 무인기에 의한 위협을 줄이기 위해, 음향 기반 기법에 의한 추적시스템을 구현하였다. 드론 음향 추적 방식에는 3가지 주요 사항이 있다. 첫째, 가변 빔 형성을 통해 공간을 스캔하여 음원을 찾아 마이크 어레이를 사용하여 소리를 녹음한다. 둘째, 음원의 존재 유·무 여부를 알기 위해 은닉 마르코프 모델(HMM)로 분류한다. 마지막으로 음원이 드론인 경우, 적응형 빔 패턴을 기반의 추적기준 신호로 기록 및 저장된 음원을 사용한다. 시뮬레이션은 배경 노이즈 및 간섭 사운드가 없는 이상적인 상태와 배경 노이즈 및 간섭 사운드가 있는 비이상적인 조건 모두에서 수행되며 불법적인 드론의 추적 성능을 평가하였다. 드론 추적 시스템은 마이크 어레이 성능에 따른 탐색 거리 성능향상 및 음향 패턴 일치 정도에 따른 드론 유무 판정 기준을 설계하여 음성판독 회로설계에 반영하였다.

When a virtual sound source for 3D auditory system is reproduced by a linear loudspeaker array, listeners can perceive not only the direction of the source, but also its distance. Control over perceived distance has often been implemented via the adjustment of various acoustic parameters, such as loudness, spectrum change, and the direct-to-reverberant energy ratio; however, there is a neglected yet powerful cue to the distance of a nearby virtual sound source that can be manipulated for sources that are positioned away from the listener's median plane. This paper address the problem of generating binaural signals for moving sources in closed or in open environments. The proposed perceptual enhancement algorithm composed of three main parts is developed: propagation, reverberation and the effect of the head, torso and pinna. For propagation the effect of attenuation due to distance and molecular air-absorption is considered. Related to the interaction of sounds with the environment, especially in closed environments is reverberation. The effects of the head, torso and pinna on signals that arrive at the listener are also objectives of the consideration. The set of HRTF that have been used to simulate the virtual sound source environment for 3D auditory system. Special attention has been given to the modelling and interpolation of HRTFs for the generation of new transfer functions and definition of trajectories, definition of closed environment, etc. also be considered for their inclusion in the program to achieve realistic binaural renderings. The evaluation is implemented in MATLAB.

음원의 위치를 찾는 SSL(Sound Source Localization)은 로봇과의 인터페이스, 화상회의, 스마트 자동차 등 여러 분야에서 꼭 필요한 기술이다. 일반적으로 음원의 위치 정보를 활용하는 기술들은 주로 측정 장치에 대한 음원의 각도 정보를 찾아서 이용하고 있다. 그러나 음원의 위치에 대한 각도를 추정할 때 이용하는 사인 역함수의 비선형적인 특성으로 추정된 각도에 오차가 발생하며, 이에 대한 방안으로 마이크가 담당하는 영역을 분할하는 방법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 마이크 어레이 패턴에 따른 영역분할 방법을 제안하고 음원의 위치를 2차원상의 평면 좌표로 특정하는 방법으로 위치 추정 성능을 평가하였다. 실험에서 잡음에 강인한 GCC-PHAT(Generalized Cross Correlation Phase Transform) 방법을 사용했으며, 마이크 어레이의 패턴은 마이크 3개와 4개로 삼각형과 사각형 두 종류로 구성하였으며, 100개의 음성 데이터로 실험한 결과 실제 환경에서는 3개의 마이크 어레이를 사용해서는 영역 분할 해상도가 낮아서 음원의 위치를 정해진 특정 범위내로 추정하는데 실패했으나, 4개 마이크를 이용하여 해상도를 높였더니 위치추정 성공률이 67 %로 크게 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 모바일 로봇과 자동제어 시스템에 적용될 수 있는 음원 위치 추적 시스템(Sound Source Localization, SSL)을 보여준다. 대부분 SSL의 기법은 음원 도달 시간차(Interaural Time Difference, ITD)와 음압 레벨의 차이(Interaural Level Difference, ILD)를 구하고, 마이크로폰 배열의 기하학적 원리를 이용하여 위치를 찾게 된다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 음원의 수평 각도를 구하기 위해 깊은 인공 신경망을 기반으로 한 다른 접근법은 제안한다. 인간의 귀를 모방한 로봇의 양쪽 마이크로폰에서 음원의 신호를 채집하여 연구에 사용했다. Network를 학습시키기 위해 양쪽 마이크로폰에서 얻어진 음원의 스펙트럼 분포 차이를 이용하였다. 각 10도 마다 채집한 데이터로 네트워크를 학습시켰고 임의의 각도에서 얻어진 데이터로 결과를 확인했다. 실험 결과 제안한 SSL의 접근 방식은 상당히 가능성이 있는 결과를 보여주었다.
