Hands free audio analysis from home entertainment

چکیده
In this paper, we describe a system developed for hands free audio analysis for a living room environment. It comprises detection and localisation of the verbal and paralinguistic events, which can augment the behaviour of virtual director and improve the overall experience of interactions between spatially separated families and friends. The results show good performance in reverberant environments and fulfil real-time requirements.

Dirt Cheap 3D Spatial Audio
The advent of affordable sophisticated audio solutions for the home PC market has paved the way for low-cost true three-dimensional spatial audio, which can produce a sound effect from any 3D position source. The home entertainment market has guided the development of audio solutions for PCs through hardware support for stereo and Dolby R ©Surround Sound versions 4.1, 5.1, and 7.1. However, the...
متن کاملIntentional voice command detection for completely hands-free speech interface in home environments
We introduce a new class of speech processing, called Intentional Voice Command Detection (IVCD). It is necessary to reject not only noises but also unintended voices to achieve completely hands-free speech interface. Conventional VAD framework is not sufficient for such purpose, and we discuss how we should define IVCD and how we can realize it. We investigate implementation of IVCD from the v...
متن کاملHAVi: Home Audio Video Interoperability
Eight major consumer electronics manufacturers have come up with an open standard enabling home entertainment devices to communicate intelligently with each other. The HAVi (Home Audio Video Interoperability) standard promises to bring true platform independent interoperability to consumer devices using high bandwidth IEEE 1394 (FireWire) as the connecting medium. This paper studies the HAVi st...
متن کاملAn integrated system for smart-home control of appliances based on remote speech interaction
We present an integrated system that uses speech as a natural input modality to provide user-friendly access to information and entertainment devices installed in a real home environment. The system is based on a combination of beamforming techniques and speech recognition. The general problem addressed in this work is that of hands-free speech recognition in a reverberant room where users walk...
متن کاملReal-Time and Marker-Free 3D Motion Capture for Home Entertainment Oriented Applications
We present an automated system for real-time marker-free motion capture from two calibrated webcams. For fast 3D shape and skin reconstructions, we extend Shape-From-Silhouette algorithms. The motion capture system is based on simple and fast heuristics to increase the efficiency. Multi-modal scheme using both shape and skin-parts analysis, temporal coherence, and human anthropometric constrain...
