Background noise is one of the major complaints of not only hearing impaired persons but also normal listeners. This paper describes the results of two experiments in which speech recognition performance was determined for listeners with normal hearing and sensorineural hearing loss in noise environment. First, we compared speech enhancement algorithms by evaluation speech recognition ability in various speech-to-noise ratios and types of noise. Next, speech enhancement algorithms by reducing background noise were presented and evaluated to improve speech intelligibility for sensorineural hearing impairment listeners. We tested three noise reduction methods using single-microphone, such as spectrum subtraction and companding, Wiener filter method, and maximum likelihood envelop estimation. Their responses in background noise were investigated and compared with those by the speech enhancement algorithm that presented in this paper. The methods improved speech recognition test score for the sensorineural hearing impaired listeners, but not for normal listeners. The results suggest the speech enhancement algorithm with the loudness compression can improve speech intelligibility for listeners with sensorineural hearing loss.

Probability-based design codes have been developed to sufficiently confirm the safety level of structures. One of the most acceptable probability-based approaches is Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), which measures the safety level of the structures in terms of the reliability index. The main contribution of this paper is to calibrate the load and resistance factors of the design code for tunnels. The load and resistance factors are calculated using the available statistical models and probability-based procedures. The major steps include selection of representative structures, consideration of the limit state functions, calculation of reliability for the selected structures, selection of the target reliability index and calculation of load factors and resistance factors. The load and resistance models are reviewed. Statistical models of resistance (load carrying capacity) are summarized for strength limit state in bending, shear and compression. The reliability indices are calculated for several segments of a selected circular tunnel designed according to the tunnel manual report (Tunnel Manual). The novelty of this paper is the selection of the target reliability. In doing so, the uniform spectrum of reliability indices is proposed based on the probability paper. The final recommendation is proposed based on the closeness to the target reliability index.

Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has been applied to the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) data of turbulent channel flow. DWT splits the turbulent flow into two orthogonal parts, one corresponding to coherent structures and the other to incoherent background flow. The coherent structure is extracted from not vorticity field but velocity's since the channel flow is not isoropic. By comparing DWT's result of channel flow with that of isotropic flow, it is shown that coherent structure maintains the properties of original channel flow. The velocity field of coherent structures can be represented by few wavelet modes and that these modes are sufficient to reproduce the velocity probability density function (PDF) and the energy spectrum over the entire inertial range. The remaining incoherent background flow is homogeneous, has small amplitude, and is uncorrelated. These results are compared with those obtained for the same compression rate using large eddy simulation (LES) filtering. In contrast to the incoherent background flow of DWT, the LES subgrid scales have a much larger amplitude and are correlated, which makes their statistical modeling more difficult.

본 논문에서는 저작권 보호를 위한 워터마크 내장 방법으로 공간 스케일 변수를 사 용한 공간 마 스킹 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 워터마크 알고리즘에서영상에 삽입되는 워터마크의 크 기가 클수록 삽입된 워터마크는 여러 가지 변형에 강인하게 되지만 워터마크된 영상의 화질을 보장하기 어렵다. 반 대로 워터마크의 크기가 작게 되면 양질의 영상을 얻을수 있으나 삽입된 워터 마크의 강인 성을 보장할 수 없는 서로 상반되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 워터마크의 강인성과 영상의 화질 사이 의 타협점을 구하는 것은 매우 어렵다, 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 공간 마스킹을 사용하였다. 즉 대역 확산 기법으로 워터마크된 영상에 공간 마스킹을 하므로써 텍스쳐 영역과 같은 워 터마크가 인 간시각에 민감하지 않지만 압축 손실이 일어나는 복잡한 영역에서는 압축손실과 같은 일반 적인 영상 처 리에 강하도록 공간 마스킹으로 워터마크의 크기를 크게 하였으며 워터마크를 삽입하기 어 려운 즉 노이 즈에 민감하지만 압축 손실과 일반적인 영상 처리에 강한 평탄 영역에서는 워터 마크 삽입 으로 인한 화 질저하를 방지하기 위해 공간 마스킹으로 워터 마크의 크기를 작게 해 워터마크 삽입으로 인한 화질저 하를 방지하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안한 워터마킹 기법은 워터마크된 영상이 공간 마 스킹에 의해 워터마크의 크기를 조절할 수 있어 영상의 질과 워터마크의 강인성 모두를 만족할수 있 다. 그리고 본 논문에서 제안한 워터마킹 방법이 손실 압축(JPEG)과 잡음 그리고 축소 및 확대 클리핑 (Clipping) 컬류 션(Collusion)등과 같은 신호처리에 강인함을 실험을 통해 입증하였다. In this paper we propose a new watermarking technique for copyright protection of images. The proposed technique is based on a spatial masking method with a spatial scale parameter. In general it becomes more robust against various attacks but with some degradations on the image quality as the amplitude of the watermark increases. On the other hand it becomes perceptually more invisible but more vulnerable to various attacks as the amplitude of the watermark decreases. Thus it is quite complex to decide the compromise between the robustness of watermark and its visibility. We note that watermarking using the spread spectrum is not robust enought. That is there may be some areas in the image that are tolerable to strong watermark signals. However large smooth areas may not be strong enough. Thus in order to enhance the invisibility of watermarked image for those areas the spatial masking characteristics of the HVS(Human Visual System) should be exploited. That is for texture regions the magnitude of the watermark can be large whereas for those smooth regions the magnitude of the watermark can be small. As a result the proposed watermarking algorithm is intend to satisfy both the robustness of watermark and the quality of the image. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to image deformations(such as compression adding noise image scaling clipping and collusion attack).

국내외 해상 위험·유해물질(HNS, Hazardous and Noxious Substances) 물동량 증가와 함께 HNS 유출 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. HNS는 전 세계적으로 약 6,000여 종으로 대부분 유독한 성질을 가지므로 이러한 유출 사고 발생은 해양 생태계 파괴를 비롯하여 폭발 및 화재 등으로 인한 인명 및 재산피해를 유발한다. 따라서 해상 HNS 유출 사고를 대비하여 파장에 따른 HNS 분광 라이브러리 구축 및 탐지 알고리즘을 개발해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 프랑스 현지에서 지상 HNS 유출 실험을 진행하였다. 초분광센서 관측을 통해 파장에 따른 톨루엔 라이브러리 스펙트럼을 구축하였으며, 분광혼합 알고리즘을 활용하여 초분광 HNS를 탐지하였다. 전처리 과정으로 주성분 분석을 적용하여 노이즈 제거 및 차원 압축을 수행하였으며, N-FINDR 기법을 통해 영상을 대표하는 톨루엔과 해수의 엔드멤버 스펙트럼을 추출하였다. 스펙트럼 기반의 톨루엔 및 해수의 점유비율을 계산함으로써 모든 픽셀의 HNS 탐지 정확도를 확률로 제시하였다. 최대 탐지 정확도를 가지는 점유비율 선정을 위해 418.15 nm 파장의 복사도 영상과 비교하였으며, 그 결과 약 42%의 비율에서 99% 이상의 정확도를 나타내었다. 해상 HNS 유출은 높은 위험성으로 인해 사람이 쉽게 접근할 수 없는 한계를 지닌다. 본 HNS 실험과정 및 탐지 결과는 초분광 원격탐사에 기반한 HNS 오염 해역 추정에 도움이 될 것이다.

The assessment of structural performance of transfer structures under potential seismic actions is presented. Various seismic assessment methodologies are used, with particular emphasis on the accurate modelling of the higher mode effects and the potential development of a soft storey effect in the mega-columns below the transfer plate (TP) level. Those methods include response spectrum analysis (RSA), manual calculation, pushover analysis (POA) and equivalent static load analysis (ESA). The capabilities and limitations of each method are highlighted. The paper aims, firstly, to determine the appropriate seismic assessment methodology for transfer structures using these different approaches, all of which can be undertaken with the resources generally available in a design office. Secondly, the paper highlights and discusses factors influencing the response behaviour of transfer structures, and finally provides a general indication of their seismic vulnerability. The representative Hong Kong building considered in this paper utilises a structural system with coupled shear walls and moment resisting portal-frames, above and below the TP, respectively. By adopting the wind load profile stipulated in the Code of Practice on Wind Effects: Hong Kong-1983, all the structural members are sized and detailed according to the British Standards BS8110 and the current local practices. The seismic displacement demand for the structure, when built on either rock or deep soil sites, was determined in a companion paper. The lateral load-displacement characteristic of the building, determined herein from manual calculation, has indicated that the poor ductility (brittle nature) of the mega-columns, due mainly to the high level of axial pre-compression as found from the analysis, cannot be effectively alleviated solely by increasing the quantity of confinement stirrups. The interstorey drift demands at lower and upper zones caused by seismic actions are found to be substantially higher than those arising from wind loads. The mega-columns supporting the TP and the coupling beams at higher zones are identified to be the most vulnerable components under seismic actions.

In this paper, a Performance Based Design (PBD) approach is validated for multi-storey concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems. Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD) procedure is used and validated by designing 4- and 12-storey CBF buildings. Nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA) is used to check the performance of the design methodology by employing different accelerograms having displacement spectra matching the design displacement spectrum. Displacements and drifts obtained from NLTHA are found to fall within the design displacement limits used in the DDBD procedure. In NLTHA, both tension and compression members are found to be resisting the base shear, $F_b$, not only the tension members as assumed in the design methodology and suggested by Eurocode 8. This is the reason that the total $F_b$ in NLTHA is found to be greater than the design shear forces. Furthermore, it is found that the average of the maximum ductility values recorded from the time history analyses for the 4-and 12-storey buildings are close to the design ductility obtained from the DDBD methodology and ductility expressions established by several researchers. Moreover, the DDBD is compared to the Forced Based Design (FBD) methodology for CBFs. The comparison is carried out by designing 4 and 12-storey CBF buildings using both DDBD and FBD methodologies. The performance for both methodologies is verified using NLTHA. It is found that the $F_b$ from FBD is larger than $F_b$ obtained from DDBD. This leads to the use of larger sections for the structure designed by FBD to resist the lateral forces.
