Human-computer interaction for in-vehicle information and navigation systems is a challenging problem because of the diverse and changing acoustic environments. It is proposed that the integration of video and audio information can significantly improve dialog system performance, since the visual modality is not impacted by acoustic noise. In this paper, we propose a robust audio-visual integra...

The approach of combining a multitude of audio features and also symbolic features (through transcription of audio to MIDI) for music classification proved useful, as shown previously. We extended the system submitted to MIREX 2008 by including temporal audio features, adding another audio analysis algorithm based on finding templates on music, enhancing the polyphonic audio to MIDI transcripti...

Audio-driven facial animation is an interesting and evolving technique for human-computer interaction. Based on an incoming audio stream, a face image is animated with full lip synchronization. This requires a speech recognition system in the language in which audio is provided to get the time alignment for the phonetic sequence of the audio signal. However, building a speech recognition system...

Collections of sound and music of increasing size and diversity are used both by typical computer users and multimedia designers. Browsing audio collections poses several challenges to the design of effective user interfaces. Recent techniques in audio information retrieval allow the automatic extraction of audio content information. This information can be used to inform and enhance audio brow...

This paper describes an audio system that is wellsuited for use in a small confined area with many audio transmitters broadcasting different audio signals. The transmitter of the proposed system is constructed using visible light LEDs, in which current fed to the LEDs is modulated and encoded with audio information or messages. The audio system provides audio signal transmission in a free space...

This paper presents a large scale audio fingerprinting system, which can be used to retrieve intended song from more than a million audio tracks. A time offset of several milliseconds could cause a number of audio fingerprints disappear. To decrease this effect, the query clip is converted to several copies with different start times. The audio fingerprints are mapped to hashes. Based on the st...

This paper presents a scalable granular acoustic fingerprinting system. An acoustic fingerprinting system uses condensed representation of audio signals, acoustic fingerprints, to identify short audio fragments in large audio databases. A robust fingerprinting system generates similar fingerprints for perceptually similar audio signals. The system presented here is designed to handle time-scale...
