The method is based on identifying and enhancing speech regions in the noisy speech signal. The speech regions are identified by computing the kurtosis and energy values from the noisy speech signals. For speech corrupted by additive background noise, kurtosis and energy values will be relatively high in speech regions compared to nonspeech regions. This property is exploited in deriving a weight function. The noisy signal is multiplied by the weight function to attenuate the noise in the nonspeech regions. The weighted speech signal is processed only in the speech regions by the spectral subtraction method to enhance speech components in the detected speech regions. The proposed method is effective in attenuating the noise components compared to the spectral subtraction method especially in nonspeech regions.","PeriodicalId":261916,"journal":{"name":"2005 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Sensing and Information Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128877809","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 measurement model can be expressed in terms of a graph, whose nodes correspond to the variables being estimated and the edges to noisy measurements of the difference between the two variables. We take the value of one particular variable as a reference and consider the optimal estimator for the differences between the remaining variables and the reference. This type of measurement model appears in several sensor network problems, such as sensor localization and time synchronization. Two algorithms are proposed to compute the optimal estimate in a distributed, iterative manner. The first algorithm implements the Jacobi method to iteratively compute the optimal estimate, assuming all communication is perfect. The second algorithm is robust to temporary communication failures, and converges to the optimal estimate when certain mild conditions on the failure rate are satisfied. It also employs an initialization scheme to improve accuracy in spite of the slow convergence of the Jacobi method","PeriodicalId":261916,"journal":{"name":"2005 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Sensing and Information Processing","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133946909","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 visual processing module of the system uses a motion based approach for detecting objects, and employs Kalman filter model for tracking its motion. Environmental sound is recognized by processing audio signals to extract features in the form of Mel-Frequency Cepstral coefficients (MFCC), which are then used for classification by Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) technique.

Feature vectors for all the classes are generated by extracting the most relevant features from the corresponding clusters and used for further classification. Artificial neural network and support vector machines are used to perform the classification task.

Current models can forecast load from half hour up to 24 hours and are based on aggregate temperature for the entire day. Although these models work very well, they do not consider the intermediate real time information between time intervals to forecast load which introduce many uncertainties pertaining to factors such as climatic conditions, geographic locations etc. Furthermore, such intermediate real time information is costly and difficult to obtain. With the aid of distributed sensor networks, real time information can easily be obtained which can lead to precise planning and operation of power systems. Such information can easily improve electrical load forecasting and reduce uncertainty which can have a direct impact on the customer.
