The factor σ is called the interaction cross section and has units of area. It is the probability of a single interaction per unit target point density per unit target region length. A cross section is useful because it isolates the part of the interaction probability that is due to the mechanism of the interaction. An equivalent definition of cross section is the probability of interaction per...

• EW02: Update the " nuance " versions, ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) and SV (Speech Verification) For VoiceIdent Unit 1.0 it was agreed upon the following arrangement: All text, which is taken from the PP, is in blue colour. New text specific to this ST is in black colour and additionally in Italics. For VoiceIdent Unit 2.0 only the extensions between the versions are highlighted. The fol...

We review the various approaches that have been used to define the target cost in unit selection speech synthesis and show that there are a number of different and sometimes incompatible ways of defining this. We propose that this cost should be thought of as a measure of how similar two units sound to a human listener. We discuss the issue of what features should be used in unit selection and ...

Consider the problem of tracking a set of moving targets. Apart from the tracking result, it is often important to know where the tracking fails, either to steer sensors to that part of the state-space, or to inform a human operator about the status and quality of the obtained information. An intuitive quality measure is the correlation between two tracking results based on uncorrelated observa...
