More specifically, we explore the use of existing objective quality and intelligibility metrics, applied directly to vocoded speech degraded by room reverberation, here assessed at ten different reverberation time (RT60) values: 0 s, 0.4 s - 1.0 s (0.1 s increments), 1.5 s and 2 s. Eight objective speech intelligibility predictors (SIPs) were investigated in this study. Of these, two were non-intrusive (i.e. did not require a reference signal) audio quality measures, four were intrusive, and two were intrusive speech intelligibility indexes. Three types of vocoders were implemented to examine how speech intelligibility predictions depended on the vocoder type. These were: noise-excited vocoder, tone-excited vocoder and a FFT-based N-of-M vocoder. Experimental results show that several intrusive quality and intelligibility measures were highly correlated with exponentially fit CI intelligibility data. On the other hand, only a recently - developed non-intrusive measure showed high correlations. These evaluations suggest that CI intelligibility may be accurately assessed via objective metrics applied to vocoded speech, thus may reduce the need for expensive and time-consuming listening tests.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115125401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PHD filter cannot be computed exactly, but popular implementations include Gaussian Mixture (GM) and Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) based algorithms. GM implementations suffer from pruning and merging approximations, but enable to extract the states easily; on the other hand, SMC implementations are of interest if the discrete approximation is relevant, but are penalized by the difficulty to guide particles towards promising regions and to extract the states. In this paper, we propose a mixed GM/SMC implementation of the PHD filter which does not suffer from the above mentioned drawbacks. Due to the SMC part, our algorithm can be used in models where the GM implementation is unavailable; but it also benefits from the easy state extraction of GM techniques, without requiring pruning or merging approximations. Our algorithm is validated on simulations.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117281482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five pairs of electrodes were positioned across the short head of the biceps brachii and 5 others across its long head. Electromyographic signals from 4 able subjects were collected. They produced voluntary isometric and isotonic contractions with the arm kept in different positions while the hand was either fully supinated, neutral or fully pronated. Root mean square value of the signals, from the 5 electrode pairs across the long and short heads were averaged. Depending on the task, activity was found larger in one head or in the other. Being able to activate either head of the biceps, while not yet completely independently, suggests that the selective use of compartments could be a possible avenue for controlling myoelectric prostheses.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123630342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to the main CPU, almost every computer is equipped with a Graphics Processors Unit (GPU) which is in essence a specialized parallel processor. This paper explore how performance of speech recognition systems can be enhanced by using the A* algorithm which allows better parallelization over the Viterbi algorithm and a GPU for the acoustic computations in large vocabulary applications. First experiments with a “unigram approximation” heuristic resulted in approximatively 8.7 times less states being explored compared to our classical Viterbi decoder. The multi-thread implementation of the A* decoder combined with GPU for acoustic computation led to a speed-up factor of 5.2 over its sequential counterpart and an improvement of 5% absolute of the accuracy over the sequential Viterbi search at real-time.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123704279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fundamental concept of dilation-based connectivity and its limitation are described in the beginning. Subsequently, the architecture of DBCA is constructed in the following procedures: (1) run-length encoding, (2) RLE-based morphological operation, (3) RLE-based component detection algorithm, (4) relationship construction, and (5) re-labeling connection. The details of these five procedures performed in DBCA are then discussed in detail. DBCA is further applied in the post-processing of anti-reflection (AR) glass defect detection in order to justify its practicability. Finally, the experimental results indicate that this algorithm can successfully overcome the effects of broken defects for AR glass if an appropriate structure element is selected. Moreover, the performance evaluation further shows that DBCA can be applied in the real application as a post-processing of defect inspection.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124083514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective segmentation requires domain knowledge or strategies for object designation as no universal segmentation algorithm exists. In this paper, we propose a holistic framework to perform image segmentation in color space. Our approach unifies the linear smoothing filter, a similarity calculation in selected color space, and a clustering game model with various evolution dynamics. In our framework, the problem of image segmentation can be considered as a “clustering game”. Within this context, the notion of a cluster turns out to be equivalent to a classical equilibrium concept from game theory, as the game equilibrium reflects both the internal and external cluster conditions. Experiments on image segmentation problems show the superiority of the proposed clustering game based image segmentation framework (CGBISF) using both the Berkeley segmentation dataset and infrared images (for which, we need to perform color fusion first) in autonomy, speed, and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127279351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The execution time is reduced by exploiting parallelism inside each kernel, where the area is reduced by reusing several operators such as matrix vector multiplication.
