  • A new algorithm for speech signal segmentation is proposed. This algorithm is based on finding successive similar frames belonging to a segment and represents it by an average spectrum. The speech signal is a slowly time varying signal in the sense that, when examined over a sufficiently short period of time (between 10 and 100 ms), its characteristics are fairly stationary. Generally this approach is based on finding these fairly stationary periods. Advantages of the. algorithm are accurate border decision of segments and simple computation. The automatic segmentations using frame averaging show as much as $82.20\%$ coincided with manually verified segmentation of CMU ARCTIC corpus within time range 16 ms. More than $90\%$ segment boundaries are coincided within a range of 32 ms. Also it can be combined with many types of automatic segmentations (HMM based, acoustic cues or feature based etc.).

  • Prototype portal imaging device (EPID) based on CCD camera, which has a $20\times20cm^2$ field of view (FOV), has been developed and then tested by acquiring phantom images for 6 MV x-ray beam. While, among the captured images, each frame suffered notorious quantum noise, the frame averaging largely enhanced the image quality against quantum noise. Over 60 frames averaging, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was increased by $\sim20$ times and contrast was increased about 2 times in the skull-region of the acquired head-phantom image.

  • In this out watermarking method, a key is determined by quantizing the maximum motion difference between frames. We have a problem the key value for embedding and detection are different in 1 to 3% frames of all frames. This problem can be easily solved by using a new key according to bit error rate of the extracted watermark. Since the watermark is embedded in each frame nth different keys and detected In all the frames, out method is resistant against attacks such as the frame averaging and frame drop.

  • This paper describes about a technique of generating music from the natural motion of fish which are detected via the running averaging background subtraction method. The motion of the fish will create musical notes on a background frame which will be analyzed and played by a music playing module that is proposed in this paper called "PhysicX".

  • In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve the performance of minima controlled recursive averaging (MCRA) which is based on the second-order conditional maximum a posteriori (CMAP). From an investigation of the MCRA scheme, it is discovered that the MCRA method cannot take full consideration of the inter-frame correlation of voice activity since the noise power estimate is adjusted by the speech presence probability depending on an observation of the current frame. To avoid this phenomenon, the proposed MCRA approach incorporates the second-order CMAP criterion in which the noise power estimate is obtained using the speech presence probability conditioned on both the current observation and the speech activity decisions in the previous two frames. Experimental results show that the proposed MCRA technique based on second-order conditional MAP yields better results compared to the conventional MCRA method.

  • In this paper, a synchronization method of OFDM signals are introduced and its performance is estimated. A proposed method can perform a frame/symbol timing, carrier frequency synchronizations. Reference symbols consist of two duplicate OFDM symbols carrying signals on every sub-carriers. Performances of synchronization under 60GHz millimeter-wave indoor channels are evaluated, which were measured with frequency-sweeping method in common office buildings. A proposed method has improved performances owing to long averaging durations of synchronization metrics in frame/symbol timing, carrier frequency synchronization procedures.

  • In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve the performance of minima controlled recursive averaging (MCRA) which is based on the conditional maximum a posteriori criterion. A crucial component of a practical speech enhancement system is the estimation of the noise power spectrum. One state-of-the-art approach is the minima controlled recursive averaging (MCRA) technique. The noise estimate in the MCRA technique is obtained by averaging past spectral power values based on a smoothing parameter that is adjusted by the signal presence probability in frequency subbands. We improve the MCRA using the speech presence probability which is the a posteriori probability conditioned on both the current observation the speech presence or absence of the previous frame. With the performance criteria of the ITU-T P.862 perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) and subjective evaluation of speech quality, we show that the proposed algorithm yields better results compared to the conventional MCRA-based scheme.

Color Enhancement in Images with Single CCD camera in Night Vision Environment

  • In this paper, we describe an effective method to enhance the color night images with spatio-temporal multi-scale retinex focused to the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications such as in the single CCD based Electronic Toll Collection System (ETCS). The basic spatial retinex is known to provide color constancy while effectively removing local shades. However, it is relatively ineffective in night vision enhancement. Our proposed method, STMSR, exploits the iterative time averaging of image sequences to suppress the noise in consideration of the moving vehicles in image frame. In the STMSR method, the spatial term makes the dark images distinguishable and preserves the color information day and night while the temporal term reduces the noise effect for sharper and clearer reconstruction of the contents in each image frame. We show through representative simulations that incorporating both terms in the modeling produces the output sequential images visually more pleasing than the original dim images.

  • TSexual violence is physical and mental violence that violates the sexual self-determination contrary to the intention of the other party such as rape, forced molestation, sexual harassment, caught hidden camera. It is one of the many criminal acts that male is perpetrators and female is victims. Sexual harassment, one of the sexual violence is forced sexual harassment. It is considered a color frame where each pixel has 3 color components such that RGB. The averaging the absolute difference between the current frame and te next frame is divided by the absolute difference between the current frame and the previous frame. If there was a difference between the frame pair before a scene change the discontinuity value indicating a scene change could be relatively small. Therefore, Thus, the use of the redefined equation and redefined algorithm can be seen as it is much more good via experiment.

  • The flow structure around a rotating axial-fan was experimentally investigated using a phase averaging velocity field measurement technique. The fan blades were divided into 4 different phases, for which 500 velocity fields were acquired for each phase angle with a 2-frame PTV system. Velocity field measurements were also carried out at two planes parallel to the axis of rotation, with offsets toward the radial direction of the fan. For accurate synchronization of the PTV system with the phase of the axial fan, two synchronization circuits were employed with a photo-detector attached to the rotating shaft. The phase averaged velocity fields show periodic variations with respect to the blade phase. The periodic formation of vortices at the blade tip is also observed in vorticity contour plots. Locations of local maximum turbulence intensities in the axial and radial directions are found to be located in an alternating pattern. These experimental results can be used to validate numerical calculations and to understand the flow characteristics of an axial fan.
