This paper discusses the static stability concepts of airplanes. The definition of static stability has not been systematically discussed. For example, although “Cmα < 0,” “C β < 0,” and “Cnβ > 0” are merely the aerodynamic criteria corresponding to each static stability, they are used just like the definition of static stability. Moreover, “flight path stability” is well known as the static st...

− Audio-Visual Automatic Speech Recognition systems use visual information to enhance ASR systems in clean and noisy environments. This paper compares of a number of different visual feature extraction methods. When performing visual speech recognition the visual feature vector requires a base level of detail for optimum recognition. Geometric feature extraction provides lower recognition than ...
