For the purpose of speaker normalization in speaker independent speech recognition systems, experiments are conducted on a method based on Gaussian mixture model(GMM). The method, which is an improvement of the previous study based on vector quantizer, consists of modeling the probability distribution of canonical feature vectors by a GMM with an appropriate number of clusters, and of estimating the warp factor of a test speaker by making use of the obtained probabilistic model. The purpose of this study is twofold: improving the existing ML based methods, and comparing the performance of what is called 'soft decision' method with that of the previous study based on vector quantizer. The effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated by recognition experiments on the TIMIT corpus. The experimental results showed that a little improvement could be obtained tv adjusting the number of clusters in GMM appropriately.

In this paper, we propose speaker verification method using Support Vector Machine (SVM) kernel with Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)-supervector based on the Mahalanobis distance. The proposed GMM-supervector SVM kernel method is combined GMM with SVM. The GMM-supervectors are generated by GMM parameters of speaker and other speaker utterances. A speaker verification threshold of GMM-supervectors is decided by SVM kernel based on Mahalanobis distance to improve speaker verification accuracy. The experimental results for text-independent speaker verification using 20 speakers demonstrates the performance of the proposed method compared to GMM, SVM, GMM-supervector SVM kernel based on Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, and GMM-supervector SVM kernel based on Bhattacharyya distance.

This paper is to show a clustering application of a density estimation method that utilizes the Gaussian mixture model. We define "closeness measure" as a clustering criterion to see how close given two Gaussian components are. Closeness measure is defined as the ratio of log likelihood between two Gaussian components. According to simulations using artificial data, the clustering algorithm turned out to be very powerful in that it can correctly determine clusters in complex situations, and very flexible in that it can produce different sizes of clusters based on different threshold valuesold values

In this paper, we present a new segmentation algorithm for color images based on mathematical morphology and a Gaussian mixture model(GMM). We use the morphological operations to determine the number of components in a mixture model and to detect their modes of each mixture component. Next, we have adopted the GMM to represent the probability distribution of color feature vectors and used the deterministic annealing expectation maximization (DAEM) algorithm to estimate the parameters of the GMM that represents the multi-colored objects statistically. Finally, we segment the color image by using posterior probability of each pixel computed from the GMM. The experimental results show that the morphological operation is efficient to determine a number of components and initial modes of each component in the mixture model. And also it shows that the proposed DAEM provides a global optimal solution for the parameter estimation in the mixture model and the natural color images are segmented efficiently by using the GMM with parameters estimated by morphological operations and the DAEM algorithm.

We propose an effective voice-phishing detection algorithm based on discriminative weight training. The detection of voice phishing is performed based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) incorporaiting minimum classification error (MCE) technique. Actually, the MCE technique is based on log-likelihood from the decoding parameter of the SMV(Selectable Mode Vocoder) directly extracted from the decoding process in the mobile phone. According to the experimental result, the proposed approach is found to be effective for the voice phishing detection.

In this paper, the Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM) which is very robust modeling for pattern classification is proposed to classify wrist motions using surface electromyograms(EMG). EMG is widely used to recognize wrist motions such as up, down, left, right, rest, and is obtained from two electrodes placed on the flexor carpi ulnaris and extensor carpi ulnaris of 15 subjects under no strain condition during wrist motions. Also, EMG-based feature is derived from extracted EMG signals in time domain for fast processing. The estimated features based in difference absolute mean value(DAMV) are used for motion classification through GMM. The performance of our approach is evaluated by recognition rates and it is found that the proposed GMM-based method yields better results than conventional schemes including k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis(QDA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA).

In this paper, we propose the improved noise power estimation in speech enhancement under various noise environments. The previous MS algorithm tracking the minimum value of finite search window uses the optimal power spectrum of signal for smoothing and adopts minimum probability. From the investigation of the previous MS-based methods it can be seen that a fixed size of the minimum search window is assumed regardless of the various environment. To achieve the different search window size, we use the noise classification algorithm based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Performance of the proposed enhancement algorithm is evaluated by ITU-T P.862 perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) under various noise environments. Based on this, we show that the proposed algorithm yields better result compared to the conventional MS method.

This paper deals with feeling recognition from people's voice to fine feature vectors. Voice signals include the people's own information and but also people's feelings and fatigues. So, many researches are being progressed to fine the feelings from people's voice. In this paper, We analysis Selectable Mode Vocoder(SMV) that is one of the standard 3GPP2 codecs of ETSI. From the analyzed result, we propose voices features for recognizing feelings. And then, feeling recognition algorithm based on gaussian mixture model(GMM) is proposed. It uses feature vectors is suggested. We verify the performance of this algorithm from changing the mixture component.

The major problems of recent object tracking methods are related to the inefficient detection of moving objects due to occlusions, noisy background and inconsistent body motion. This paper presents a robust method for the detection and tracking of a moving in infrared animal videos. The tracking system is based on adaptive optical flow generation, Gaussian mixture and Kalman filtering. The adaptive Gaussian model of optical flow (GMOF) is used to extract foreground and noises are removed based on the object motion. Kalman filter enables the prediction of the object position in the presence of partial occlusions, and changes the size of the animal detected automatically along the image sequence. The presented method is evaluated in various environments of unstable background because of winds, and illuminations changes. The results show that our approach is more robust to background noises and performs better than previous methods.
