Today, there are quite a large number of deaf- mute and hard-of-hearing people which communicate using gestures. Therefore, it is simply necessary to provide them with modern means communication the surrounding world. This paper creates holistic computer system architecture for converting gestures into text audio messages. The principles construction basic design solutions based on element base...

Vision impairment is a latent problem that affects numerous people across the globe. Technological advancements, particularly rise of computer processing abilities like Deep Learning (DL) models and emergence wearables pave way for assisting visually-impaired persons. The developed earlier specifically work effectually on single object detection in unconstrained environment. But, real-time scen...

If we wish to distribute audio in a large room, building, or even a campus, we need multiple speakers. These speakers must be jointly managed and synchronized. The Ethernet Speaker (ES) system presented in this paper can be thought of as a distributed audio amplifier and speakers, it does not “play” any particular format, but rather relies on off-the-shelf audio applications (e.g., mpg123 playe...

Both audio and video watermarking enable copyright protection with owner or customer authentication and the detection of media manipulations. The available watermarking technology concentrates on single media like audio or video. But the typical multimedia stream consists of both video and audio data. Our goal is to provide a solution with robust and fragile aspects to guarantee authentication ...

Orthogonal information present in the video signal associated with the audio helps in improving the accuracy of a speech recognition system. Audio-visual speech recognition involves extraction of both the audio as well as visual features from the input signal. Extraction of visual parameters is done by the recognition of speech dependent features from the video sequence. This paper uses geometr...

Marsyas is an open source software framework for audio analysis, synthesis and retrieval with specific emphasis on Music Information Retrieval. It is developed by an international team of programmers and researchers led by George Tzanetakis. In MIREX 2007 we participated in the following tasks: Audio Artist Identification, Audio Classical Composer Identification, Audio Genre Classification, Aud...
