Silicon Technologies for Speaker Independent Speech Processing and Recognition Systems in Noisy Environments
An introduction to the Hidden Markov model based speech Recognition. The advantages and disadvantages of conventional filter bank based feature extraction algorithm with the comparison of the windowed fourier transform method to a parallel linear predictive coding based CMOS implementation.
Development of a Human-Friendly Omnidirectional Wheelchair with Safety, Comfort and Operability Using a Smart Interface
1. A local map was built around the OMW by using range sensors. This local map allows knowing the distance from the OMW to the surrounding obstacles in a circle with a radius of 3 [m]. The information provided by the local map, as well as the information of velocity of the OMW were used for...
Multichannel Speech Enhancement
A study on the different techniques for multichannel adaptive filtering for speech enhancement.
Mining Digital Music Score Collections: Melody Extraction and Genre Recognition
The application of pattern recognition algorithms to music information retrieval (MIR).
Theory of Cognitive Pattern Recognition
A study on the fundamentals of human awareness or intelligence with emphasis on the working principle and the developing mechanism of human brain and psyche for applications in the automation process.
Rock Particle Image Segmentation and Systems
A summary on the different approaches for rock particle imaging: (1) an algorithm based on edge detection; (2) an algorithm based on region split and merge; (3) and adaptive thresholding algorithm; and (4) an algorithm for splitting touching particles in a binary image.
Multidimensional Texture Analysis for Unsupervised Pattern Classification
A study on how texture analysis concepts can be introduced in the field of pattern classification.
From the Lab to the Real World: Affect Recognition Using Multiple Cues and Modalities
A study in the challenges faced when moving from affect recognition systems that were designed and experimented in laboratory settings (i.e., analyzing posed data) to the real world systems (i.e., analyzing spontaneous data) in a multicue and/or multimodal framework.
Automatization of Decision Processes in Conflict Situations: Modelling, Simulation and Optimization
A study on the applications of automated decision processes in modern warfare. This study is based on three sections: 1. The review of methods of environment modelling for simulated battlefield. 2. The identification of descriptions employing automation methods for main battlefield processes. 3...
A Cognitive Vision Approach to Image Segmentation
A study to address the problem of image segmentation by context adaptation, selection of an algorithm and tuning of its free parameters with a cognitive vision approach. The employment of computer vision systems with cognitive capabilities, e.g., to reason from a priori knowledge, to learn from...
