The Cost258 Signal Generation Test Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evaluation of Speech Synthesis Coders (SSC) provided in the literature is often informal and results cannot be compared. The COST258 signal generation test array aims to provide a benchmark for testing the ability and performance of SSC in achieving different prosodic modifications. The benchmark consists in performing various prosodic transplantations from a given natural utterance to various prosodic “variants” of the same sentence. These prosodic “variants” were recorded by the same speaker in order to obtain both credible prosodic transplantations and reference target signals.

Using the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm to Generate the Minimum Test Suite in Covering Array with Uniform Strength
Up to now, several useful algorithms have been proposed to generate covering array, which is one of the branches of combinatorial testing. The main challenge in generating such arrays is generation of the arrays with a minimum number of test cases (for efficiency) at a proper time (for performance), for large systems. Covering array generation strategies are often divided into two general categ...
متن کاملTDL-based Wideband Beamforming for Radio Sources Close to the Array Endfire
Uniform linear array (ULA)-based tapped-delay line (TDL) structure has good performance metrics when the signal sources are located at the middle angles. It offers poor performance when the signal sources are close to the array endfire. In this paper, a new approach is proposed which offers higher performance and desired beamforming on TDL structure when the wideband uncorrelated radio sources ...
متن کاملWindowing Effects of Short Time Fourier Transform on Wideband Array Signal Processing Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation
During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...

متن کاملتعیین حد پائین واریانس خطای تخمین برای زاویه سیگنال دریافتی با استفاده از روش CRB در آنتن های آرایه ای
One of the important issues in many of array systems such as Radar, Sonar, Mobile, and satellite telecommunications is the estimation of DOA of narrowband received signal. CRB is very important in evaluation of parameter estimation. CRB is the lower bound estimation error variance for any unbiased estimation. In this paper, the array antenna with equal distance arrays is extended in two separat...
