چکیده

Compared with high sample-rate speeches, low sample-rate speeches lose all high frequency components that outrange the Nyquist frequency, which might severely impair the speeches’ sound effects. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel High-frequency (HF) restoration method of low sample-rate speech based on Bayesian inference, which turns the restoration problem into a maximizing a posteriori estimation. With this method, the relation between high frequency components and low frequency components is first extracted from the training set. The compatibility between neighboring audio frames is also modelled by a one dimensional Markov Random Field. Then the extracted knowledge is adopted in reconstructing the original high samplerate signal for the testing low sample-rate audio. Experiments prove the applicability and effectiveness of this method.

Comparison of Bayesian and Frequentist Methods in Estimating the Net Reclassification and Integrated Discrimination Improvement Indices for Evaluation of Prediction Models: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study

Introduction: The Frequency-based method is commonly used to estimate the Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI)- and Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI) indices. These indices measure the magnitude of the performance of statistical models when a new biomarker is added. This method has poor performance in some cases, especially in small samples. In this study, the performance of two Bay...

Using FFI Interpolator and VQ Quantization for Designing of High Quality 1200 BPS Speech Vocoder

Storaging or transmission of speech signals at very low bit rate is a hot area in the field of speech processing. We used stochastic inter-frame interpolators and vector quantization (VQ) as a new method for developing a high quality 1200 BPS speech vocoder. The objective and subjecgtive test results show that performance of the new vocoder is compairable with 4800 BPS standard vocoders (as CELP).

A Novel Sampling Approach in GNSS-RO Receivers with Open Loop Tracking Method

Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...

High-frequency compensation of low sample-rate audio files: A wavelet-based spectral excitation algorithm

The present work documents the design and implementation of a wavelet-based excitation algorithm for low sample-rate audio files. This algorithm is an analysis/resynthesis method which converts a low sample-rate audio file to a higher sample-rate audio file, while inserting high frequency content in the wavelet domain. This paper presents relevant wavelet theory, along with the theory of the ex...
