Images are pre processed to extract object contours. Extracted contours are parameterised to form 1-D arrays. Object representations are then constructed as sets of contour waveforms viewed at different resolution levels. In the learning phase of the proposed algorithm, a database of object models is constructed which representations of objects obtained form images. The database includes jointed objects defined as those consisting of more than one part. During the object identification phase, object parts are allowed to be moved in the plane perpendicular to the joint's axil. To make the algorithm fast and efficient, only a subset of the representation points is used for object identification. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated under shifts, rotations, and scale changes.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.

To design a high performance Mandarin digit recognizer, a Mandarin phonetic question set was first carefully designed and then used to cluster 846 gender dependent cross word triphones. To model the fine differences in high frequency region of Mandarin initials, inverse mel-frequency warping was used to calculate the IMFCC feature. The IMFCC feature was shown to be quite effective in recovering the substitution errors caused by similarity of the Mandarin initials. Combined with triphone duration modeling, the recognizer produced 98.81% word accuracy rate and 95.20% sentence correct rate.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.

This typically results in a more than 20 dB reduction in harmonic distortion. Additive dither has been demonstrated to reduce the spurii to a significant extent. In this paper frequency shift (FS) dither is described. FS dither applies a frequency shift to the signals to be digitised. After analogue to digital conversion the signal is demodulated by removing this frequency shift using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. FS dither has the advantage that the demodulated output has very low levels of harmonic distortion compared to a system without FS dither. By applying both additive and FS dither at the same time, input signals with amplitudes far less than a quantum level can be digitised and detected accurately.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.

Manifold ambiguity is associated with linear dependence amongst the points on the array manifold (the \"steering vectors\") where the number of sources is less than the number of sensors, or in the more general case, amongst the points on the co-array manifold. In our previous papers, we have demonstrated that such ambiguity renders subspace-based DOA estimation techniques (such as MUSIC) useless, but does not necessarily imply that the scenario is nonidentifiable. In those identifiable cases of manifold ambiguity, we have proposed a new fitting algorithm to identify the true DOAs from the superset of ambiguous DOA estimates generated by MUSIC. In this paper, we present analytic evidence that the stochastic stability of this identification technique (with respect to the finite sample size) depends on the precise scenario parameters, and may become unstable. We present simulation results that support the analytic predictions.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.
