چکیده

Vergence ability is an important visual behavior observed on living creatures when they use vision to interact with the environment. The notion of active observer is equally useful for robotic vision systems on tasks like object tracking, fixation and 3D environment structure recovery. Humanoid robotics are a potential playground for such behaviors. This paper describes the implementation of a real time binocular vergence behavior using cepstral filtering to estimate stereo disparities. By implementing the cepstral filter on a graphics processing unit (GPU) using Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) we demonstrate that robust parallel algorithms that used to require dedicated hardware are now available on common computers. The overall system is implemented in the binocular vision system IMPEP (IMPEP Integrated Multimodal Perception Experimental Platform) to illustrate the system performance experimentally.

Accurate vergence control in complex scenes

In binocular visual systems, vergence is the process of directing the gaze so that the optical axes intersect at a surface point. Correlation-based methods of disparity analysis provide fast estimates of the vergence errol: Unfortunately, most correlation techniques do not provide mechanisms to determine which image locations contributed to Q given correlation peak. The result is that large cor...

Improved feature enhancement using temporal filtering in speech recognition

The difference between training and testing environments is the major reason of performance degradation of speech recognition. In this paper, to further decrease the mismatch, we apply temporal filtering, Auto-Regression and Moving-Average (ARMA) filtering or RelAtive SpecTrAl (RASTA) filtering, as a post-processor for the log-Energy dynamic Range Normalization-Cepstral Mean and Variance Normal...

A Multiresolutionally Oriented Approach for Determination of Cepstral Features in Speech Recognition X

This paper presents an effort to provide a more efficient speech signal representation, which aims to be incorporated into an automatic speech recognition system. Modified cepstral coefficients, derived from a multiresolution auditory spectrum are proposed. The multiresolution spectrum was obtained using sliding single point discrete Fourier transformations. It is shown that the obtained spectr...
