Improving the speed and performance of adaptive equalizers via transform based adaptive filtering Tập 2 - Trang 1301-1304 vol.2
M.A. Shamma
Adaptive equalizers are widely used in many communication systems where the channel frequency response characteristics are either time varying or unknown such as the case in wireless and dial up telecommunication networks where the communication channel constantly change due to the different packet routes and switching that takes place, as well as due to the changes in the RF propagation. This wor...... hiện toàn bộ

Probabilistic neural networks combined with GMMs for speaker recognition over telephone channels Tập 2 - Trang 1081-1084 vol.2
T. Ganchev, A. Tsopanoglou, N. Fakotakis, G. Kokkinakis
We study the applicability of probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) as core classifiers to medium scale speaker recognition over fixed telephone networks. In particular, banking applications with up to 400 enrolled speakers and short training times are targeted. Two PNN-based open-set text-independent systems, for speaker identification and speaker verification, respectively, are presented. The per...... hiện toàn bộ

Flexible real time signal filtering in space using reconfigurable logic Tập 2 - Trang 849-852 vol.2
A.S. Dawood, J.A. Williams, S.J. Visser
The High Performance Computing (HPC-I) payload is an innovative computing device designed for deployment on the Australian scientific mission satellite FedSat. HPC-I will validate and evaluate the practicality of using reconfigurable field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology in the space environment. The deployment of reconfigurable FPGA technology on-board satellites is a very promising sol...... hiện toàn bộ

Audio-visual speech recognition by speechreading Tập 2 - Trang 1069-1072 vol.2
Xiaozheng Zhang, R.M. Mersereau, M.A. Clements
Speechreading increases intelligibility in human speech perception. This suggests that conventional acoustic-based speech processing can benefit from the addition of visual information. This paper exploits speechreading for joint audio-visual speech recognition. We first present a color-based feature extraction algorithm that is able to extract salient visual speech features reliably from a fronta...... hiện toàn bộ

Evaluating wavelet compression in microcalcification detection in mammography Tập 2 - Trang 535-538 vol.2
O. Kocsis, L. Costaridou, L. Varaki, E. Likaki, C. Kalogeropoulou, G. Panayiotakis
The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of a wavelet-based image compression algorithm in mammography. As microcalcifications detection is selected as diagnostic task, the algorithm is evaluated with respect to its visually lossless threshold at low compression ratios and not its supra-threshold performance. The threshold is determined by means of observer performance using a set of d...... hiện toàn bộ

Efficient calculation of a physiologically-motivated representation for sound Tập 2 - Trang 587-590 vol.2
A.P. Klapuri, J.T. Astola
An algorithm is proposed which calculates a computationally efficient approximation of a certain physiologically-motivated representation for sound, called the summary autocorrelation function. This representation has been found very useful in several tasks, such as sound separation, multiple period estimation, and computational auditory scene analysis. However, it has been computationally too com...... hiện toàn bộ

A timing recovery criterion derived from the tap weights of a decision feedback equalizer for QAM digital subscriber line systems Tập 2 - Trang 1281-1284 vol.2
S. Haar, R. Zukunft, F. Vogelbruch
In this paper a timing recovery criterion is derived from the optimum feedforward coefficients of an adaptive symbol-spaced complex-valued decision feedback equalizer (DFE). The criterion is deduced by evaluating the relationship of sampling phase and corresponding, in the minimum mean square error (MMSE) sense optimum, equalizer tap weights exemplarily for a typical digital subscriber line (DSL) ...... hiện toàn bộ

Scale hyperparameter estimation for GGMRF prior models with application to SPECT images Tập 2 - Trang 521-524 vol.2
A. Lopez, R. Molina, A.K. Katsaggelos
In this work we develop a Bayesian reconstruction method for SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) images, using as prior GGMRF (generalized Gaussian Markov random fields) distributions and estimating the scale hyperparameter following the evidence analysis. Preconditioning methods are used to estimate this hyperparameter and the approximations used are compared on synthetic images.

Visual speech recognition using support vector machines Tập 2 - Trang 1093-1096 vol.2
M. Gordan, C. Kotropoulos, I. Pitas
In this paper we propose a visual speech recognition network based on support vector machines. Each word of the dictionary is described as a temporal sequence of visemes. Each viseme is described by a support vector machine, and the temporal character of speech is modeled by integrating the support vector machines as nodes into a Viterbi decoding lattice. Experiments conducted on a small visual sp...... hiện toàn bộ

ARMA modelling based on root cepstral deconvolution Tập 2 - Trang 745-748 vol.2
S. Sarpal, E. Chilton
Cepstral deconvolution has been successfully applied to many diverse fields, such as speech and seismic analysis. Thus far, all cepstral modelling performance has been empirical, relying on the judgement of the designer. A novel method for measuring root cepstral ARMA modelling performance is proposed, by introducing a cost function applied directly to the root cepstral domain. It is, therefore, p...... hiện toàn bộ
