Fixed-length Segment Codin
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method to attain very low bit-rate compression of speech spectral envelope. It is based on fixed-length segment coding. The method utilizes Temporal Decomposition (TD) technique for the compact representation of segments of Line Spectrum Frequencies (LSF) vector followed by split matrix quantization. The TD technique is modified to fit fixed-length segment coding. Computation is reduced by using fixed event functions and because event positions determination requires only a simple search within the short fixed-length segment. Weighted Euclidian distance is used as cost function to better approximate the spectral distance measure. The method achieves low bit rates without significant increase in computation cost. The method has been implemented on coding the spectral envelope for the MELP coder and showed its viability.

Irreversible Deposition of Line Segment Mixtures on a Square Lattice: Monte Carlo Study
We have studied kinetics of random sequential adsorption of mixtures on a square lattice using Monte Carlo method. Mixtures of linear short segments and long segments were deposited with the probability p and 1− p, respectively. For fixed lengths of each segment in the mixture, the jamming limits decrease when p increases. The jamming limits of mixtures always are greater than those of the pure...
متن کاملFixed distortion segmentation in efficient sound segment searching
Searching query signal from stored signal is formulated as a segment searching problem where signal is converted into a sequence of feature vectors. As an efficient segment searching algorithm, a new pruning method in the segment sequence has been proposed and the effectiveness has been shown through experimental evaluation. The proposed searching algorithm is 20 30 times faster than the conven...
متن کاملA New Look at the So-Called Trammel of Archimedes
1. INTRODUCTION. STANDARD TRAMMEL. Figure 1a shows a line segment of fixed length whose ends slide along two perpendicular axes. It can be realized physically as a sliding ladder or as a sliding door moving with its ends on two perpendicular tracks. During the motion, a fixed point on the segment traces an ellipse with one quarter of the ellipse in each quadrant (Figure 1b), so this device is c...
متن کاملSegmentation Strategies for Passage Retrieval from Internet Video using Speech Transcripts
We compare the effect of different segmentation strategies for passage retrieval of user generated internet video. We consider retrieval of passages for rather abstract and complex queries that go beyond finding a certain object or constellation of objects in the visual channel. Hence the retrieval methods have to rely heavily on the recognized speech. Passage retrieval has mainly been studied ...
