Waveguide mesh models that simulate airborne acoustics require extra non-physical rules to accurately represent acoustic propagation collisions with objects. In this paper we describe a physicsbased cellula automata of fluid flow phenomena which simulates acoustic as a by-product, in which such rules are unnecessary. We evaluate our simulation with respect to sound speed and boundary interactio...

We present a method that determines articulatory movements from speech acoustics using an HMM (Hidden Markov Model)-based speech production model. The model statistically generates speech acoustics and articulatory movements from a given phonemic string. It consists of HMMs of articulatory movements for each phoneme and an articulatory-to-acoustic mapping for each HMM state. For a given speech ...

Non-resonant laser-induced thermal acoustics (LITA) is employed with heterodyne detection to measure temperature (285-295 K) and a single component of velocity (20-150 m/s) in an atmospheric pressure, subsonic, unseeded air jet. Good agreement is found with pitot-tube measurements of velocity (0.2% at 150 m/s and 2% at 20 m/s) and the isentropic expansion model for temperature (0.3%). Key words...

We demonstrate the advantages of using p-version finite element approximations for structural-acoustics problems in the mid-to-high frequency regime. We then present a sub-domain-based a posteriori error estimation procedure to quantify the errors in the setting of a 3D interior-acoustics problem with resonances, and give numerical results. Effectivity indices show robust behavior of the error ...

Statistical flow modelling does not provide enough detail for many flows of engineering relevance in which unsteadiness is a central feature. This applies particularly to bluff-bodies and assemblies comprising bluff components for which the resolution of peak forces, unsteady loading, acoustics and fatigue are of interest as part of the design process. An example application which has been stud...

We investigated dynamic programming (DP) and statemodel (SM) approaches for estimating gestural scores from speech acoustics. We performed a word-identification task using the gestural pattern vector sequences estimated by each approach. For a set of 75 randomly chosen words, we obtained the best word-identification accuracy (66.67%) using the DP approach. This result implies that considerable ...

In 1995, an intercomparison on room acoustics computer simulations was launched, the so-called round robin I. The object of interest was a mid-sized auditorium. That project also included a small measurement project, where sessions of impulse response measurements were carried out with several teams and instrumentation. Since that time, the variations in the results obtained by computer simulat...

Surveys among professional musicians and sound engineers reveal that a long reverberation time at low frequencies in halls during concerts of reinforced music is a common cause for an unacceptable sounding event. Midand high-frequency sound is seldom a reason for lack of clarity and definition due to a up to 6 times higher absorption by audience compared to low frequencies, and a higher directi...
