A System for Searching Sound Palettes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Like painters selecting hues from color palettes, sound artists and composers choose from palettes of available sounds. Their choices become part of plays, films, radio and television programs, songs, animations, and games. FindSounds Palette is an audio retrieval system designed to facilitate this creative process. Local audio files, and audio files on the Web, are searched by text description and sonic similarity. Sounds produced by changing the speed of audio recordings can also be searched, which multiplies the size of the palettes. Waveform displays, colored to represent frequency information, facilitate audio editing and serve as visual thumbnails in query results.

Using Earcons to Improve the Usability of a Graphics Package
This paper describes how non–speech sounds can be used to improve the usability of a graphics package. Sound was specifically used to aid problems with tool palettes and finding the current mouse coordinates when drawing. Tool palettes have usability problems because users need to see the information they present but they are often outside the area of visual focus. An experiment was conducted t...
متن کاملDevelopment and Validation of Sound Transmission Loss Measurement System for Measuring Muffler Performance
Muffler is a part of the vehicle exhaust system that absorb or reflect sound waves to reduce exhaust noise. One of the most important determinants of a muffler performance is the amount of attenuation that has on its input wave; this parameter is known as sound transmission loss. Four - mic standard test is one way to determine this parameter which is used in this paper. In this study, a test d...
متن کاملPalettes in block colourings of designs
For any proper block colouring of a Steiner system, a palette of an element is the set of colours on blocks incident with it. We obtain bounds on the minimum possible number of distinct palettes in proper block colourings of Steiner triple systems and Steiner systems S(2, 4, v).
متن کاملA Fast Finite-State Algorithm for Generating RGB Palettes of Color Quantized Images
On the WWW, the transmission time for videos and images impacts the performance of a web site. In order to reduce the bandwidth that is used to transmit images over the Internet, most image formats adopt only a limited number of colors used simultaneously to display color images on a video monitor. Hence, generating a good color palette for a color digitized image is an important task for Inter...
متن کاملDesign of false color palettes for grayscale reproduction
Design of false color palette is quite easy but some effort has to be done to achieve good dynamic range, contrast and overall appearance of the palette. Such palettes, for instance, are commonly used in scientific papers for presenting the data. However, to lower the cost of the paper most scientists decide to let the data to be printed in grayscale. The same applies to e-book readers based on...
