In this paper fingerprints are identified with the help of minutiae detection and phase spectrum analysis. This algorithm represents the fingerprint by calculating Minutiae & its local features, like terminations, bifurcations and Phase spectrum of all minutiae. The phase spectrum is calculated to characterize the minutiae structure in the neighborhood of a given minutia point. This is very goo...

Typical speech enhancement algorithms operate on the shorttime magnitude spectrum, while keeping the short-time phase spectrum unchanged for synthesis. Recently, a novel approach to speech enhancement has been proposed where the noisy magnitude spectrum is recombined with a changed phase spectrum to produce a modified complex spectrum. During synthesis the low energy components of the modified ...

The amplitude and phase components of the modulation spectrum were dissociated in order to ascertain the importance of cross-spectral, envelope-modulation phase information for understanding spoken language. The dissociation was effected via local time reversals of the speech waveform (i.e., flipping the signal on its horizontal axis) at intervals ranging between 0 and 180 ms. Intelligibility d...

Most of the speech enhancement algorithms use the magnitude of STFT while phase is kept unchanged [3]. In this paper the magnitude of STFT of noisy speech is kept unchanged while the phase is modified. Modified complex spectrum of speech is obtained by combining unchanged magnitude spectrum and modified phase spectrum. This modification results into cancellation of low energy components (noise)...

State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition systems (ASRs) use only the short-time magnitude spectrum for feature extraction; the short-time phase spectrum is generally ignored in these systems. Results from our recent human listening tests indicate that the short-time phase spectrum can significantly contribute to speech intelligibility over small window durations (i.e., 20–40 ms). This is a...

The Raman spectrum of cyclosporin-A has been recorded in the solid phase. The conformation of the molecule has been discussed on the basis of Raman data. It has been concluded that in agreement with X-ray data, cyclosporin-A molecule has an antiparallel P- pleated sheet conformation. It may have some reverse P- turn structure in what has been assigned to a random coil conformation.

Typical speech enhancement methods, based on the short-time Fourier analysis-modification-synthesis (AMS) framework, modify only the magnitude spectrum and keep the phase spectrum unchanged. In this paper our aim is to show that by modifying the phase spectrum in the enhancement process the quality of the resulting speech can be improved. For this we use analysis windows of 32 ms duration and i...

This paper aims at investigating the potentials of the phase spectrum in automatic speech recognition (ASR). We show that speech phase spectrum could potentially provide features with high discriminability and robustness. Out of such belief and to realize a higher portion of the phase spectrum potentials, we propose two simple amendments in two common blocks in feature extraction, namely pre-em...

In this work, we investigate the relative contribution of the short-time magnitude and phase spectra towards speaker dependent information. The effect of the analysis window function type is also examined. For this purpose we conduct a human speaker verification experiment that uses phase-only and magnitude-only stimuli. The stimuli are constructed using the analysis-modification-synthesis proc...
