Micropower electro-magnetic sensors for speech characterization, recognition, verification, and other applications

چکیده
Experiments have been conducted using a variety of very low power EM sensors that measure articulator motions occurring in two frequency bands, 1 Hz to 20Hz, and 70 Hz to 7 kHz. They enable noise free estimates of a voiced excitation function, accurate pitch measurements, generalized transfer function descriptions, and detection of vocal articulator motions.

A Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...
متن کاملImproving the performance of MFCC for Persian robust speech recognition
The Mel Frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. In this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of MFCC vector estimated through following steps. First, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...
متن کاملA Micropower Current-Mode Euclidean Distance Calculator for Pattern Recognition
In this paper a new synthesis for circuit design of Euclidean distance calculation is presented. The circuit is implemented based on a simple two-quadrant squarer/divider block. The circuit that employs floating gate MOS (FG-MOS) transistors operating in weak inversion region, features low circuit complexity, low power (<20uW), low supply voltage (0.5V), two quadrant input current, wide dyn...
متن کاملDirect Speech Generation for a Silent Speech Interface based on Permanent Magnet Articulography
Patients with larynx cancer often lose their voice following total laryngectomy. Current methods for post-laryngectomy voice restoration are all unsatisfactory due to different reasons: requires frequent replacement due to biofilm growth (tracheo-oesoephageal valve), speech sounds gruff and masculine (oesophageal speech) or robotic (electro-larynx) and, in general, are difficult to master (oeso...
متن کاملAdvances in combined electro-optical palatography
This paper describes the development of a device that combines the electropalatographic measurement of tongue-palate contact with optical distance sensing to measure the mid-sagittal contour of the tongue and the position of the lips. The device consists of a thin acrylic pseudopalate that contains both contact sensors and optical reflective sensors. Application areas are, for example, experime...
