F0 stylisation with a free-knot B-spline m optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes a F0 curve estimation scheme based on a B-spline model1. We compare this model with more classical spline representation. The free parameters of both models are the number of knots and their location. An optimal location is proposed using a simulated annealing strategy. Experiments on real F0 curves confirm the adequacy and good performance of the B-spline approach, estimated via the least-square error criterion.

Topology optimization in B-spline space
Abstract In this paper, we present a new form of density based topology optimization where the design space is restricted to the B-spline space. An arbitrarily shaped design domain is embedded into a rectangular domain in which tensor-product B-splines are used to represent the density field. We show that, with proper choice of B-spline degrees and knot spans, the B-spline design space is free ...

متن کاملA novel shape optimization method using knot insertion algorithm in B-spline and its application to transonic airfoil design
A new method using the cubic B-spline curves with nominal uniform knot set to parameterize the geometry is proposed to deal with shape optimization problems. In the method, the control points of the B-spline curves are set to be the design variables in the optimization scheme. A knot insertion algorithm has been introduced in order to keep the geometry unchanged whilst increasing the number of ...
متن کاملSemi-structured B-spline for blending two B-spline surfaces
Surface blending is a useful operation in geometric design for rounding sharp edges or corners. Meanwhile, NURBS has already become the de facto industrial standard in existing CAD/CAM systems. Therefore, it is required to study how to blend two B-spline surfaces. However, two arbitrary B-spline surfaces (called base surfaces) are hard to be blended with a B-spline surface (called blending surf...
متن کاملNonlinear System Modeling Using GA-based B-spline Membership Fuzzy-Neural Networks
In this paper, we investigate the optimization problem of B-spline membership fuzzy-neural networks. When the B-spline membership fuzzy-neural networks are used for complex nonlinear system modeling, there are some problems, such as how to select the appropriate knot positions, and how to choose control points optimally. These problems are significantly important in achieving good approximation...
