In this paper, study and experiments are performed for finding recognition unit fit which can be used in large vocabulary recognition system. Specifically, a phoneme that is currently used as recognition unit and a syllable in which Korean is well characterized are selected. From comparisons of recognition experiments, the study is performed whether a syllable can be considered as recognition unit of Korean recognition system. For report of an objective result of the comparison experiment, we collected speech data of a male speaker and processed them by hand-segmentation for phoneme boundary and labeling to construct speech database. And for training and recognition based on HMM, we used HTK (HMM Tool Kit) 2.0 of commercial tool from Entropic Co. to experiment in same condition. We applied two HMM model topologies, 3 emitting state of 5 state and 6 emitting state of 8 state, in Continuous HMM on training of each recognition unit. We also used 3 sets of PBW (Phonetically Balanced Words) and 1 set of POW(Phonetically Optimized Words) for training and another 1 set of PBW for recognition, that is "Speaker Dependent Medium Vocabulary Size Recognition." Experiments result reports that recognition rate is 95.65% in phoneme unit, 94.41% in syllable unit and decoding time of recognition in syllable unit is faster by 25% than in phoneme.

This paper describes development of small scale voice dialing system using TMS320C30. Recognition vocabuliary is used 50 department name within university. In vocabulary below the middle scale, word unit recognition is more practice than phoneme unit or syllable unit recognition. In this paper, we performend recognition and model generation using DMS(Dynamic Multi-Section) and implemeted voice dialing system using TMS320C30. As a result of recognition, we achieved a 98% recognition rate in condition of section 22 and weight 0.6 and recognition time took 4 seconds.

In this paper, we studied on the phoneme classification for Korean speech recognition. In the case of making large vocabulary speech recognition system, it is better to use phoneme than syllable or word as recognition unit. And, In order to study the difference of speech recognition according to the number of phoneme as recognition unit, we used the speech toolkit of OGI in U.S.A as recognition system. The result showed that the performance of diphthong being unified was better than that of seperated diphthongs, and we required the better result when we used the biphone than when using mono-phone as recognition unit.

In this paper, we implement a new vocabulary-independent speech recognition system that uses CV, VCCV, VC recognition unit. Since these recognition units are extracted in the trowel region of syllable, the segmentation is easy and robust. And in the case of not existing VCCV unit, the units are replaced by combining VC and CV semi-syllable model. Clustering of vowel group and applying combination rule to the substitution model in the case of not existing of VCCV model lead to 5.2% recognition performance improvement from 90.4% (Model A) to 95.6% (Model C) in the first candidate. The recognition results that is 98.8% recognition rate in the second candidate confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper is about motion gesture recognition system, and proposes the following improvement to the flaws of the current system: a motion gesture recognition system and such algorithm that uses the video image of the entire hand and reading its motion gesture to advance the accuracy of recognition. The motion gesture recognition system includes, an image capturing unit that captures and obtains the images of the area applicable for gesture reading, a motion extraction unit that extracts the motion area of the image, and a hand gesture recognition unit that read the motion gestures of the extracted area. The proposed application of the motion gesture algorithm achieves 20% improvement compared to that of the current system.

In the case of making large vocabulary speech recognition system, it is better to use the segment than the syllable or the word as the recognition unit. In this paper, we study on the basis of making biphone for Korean speech recognition. For experiments, we use the speech toolkit of OGI in U.S.A. The result shows that the recognition rate of the case in which the diphthong is established as a single unit is superior to that of the case in which the diphthong Is established as two units, i.e. a glide plus a vowel. And also, the recognition rate of the case in which the biphone is used as the recognition unit is better than that of the case in which the mono-phoneme is used.

In this paper we examine and compare the computational speeds of three-dimensional (3D) object recognition by use of digital holography based on central unit processing (CPU) and graphic processing unit (GPU) computing. The holographic fringe pattern of a 3D object is obtained using an in-line interferometry setup. The Fourier matched filters are applied to the complex image reconstructed from the holographic fringe pattern using a GPU chip for real-time 3D object recognition. It is shown that the computational speed of the 3D object recognition using GPU computing is significantly faster than that of the CPU computing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on comparisons of the calculation time of the 3D object recognition based on the digital holography with CPU vs GPU computing.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the recognition about 'problem solving and invention' unit in technology and home-economics subject. The study was carried out through questionnaire survey method. The sample of this study was 397 8th middle school students. The data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed by the descriptive statistics, t-test and one-way ANOVA. The result of this study was as follows: First, middle school students presented positive preferences toward 'problem solving and invention' unit. Second, middle school students recognized the necessity of this unit. Third, the level of difficulty for this unit of students was intermediate. Fifth, middle school students recognized that learning 'problem solving and invention' unit made them have more interest than before learning it.

This is the study on recognition units and segmentation of phonemes. In the case of making large vocabulary speech recognition system, it is better to use the segment than the syllable or the word as the recognition unit. In this paper, we study on the proper recognition units and segmentation of phonemes for Korean speech recognition. For experiments, we use the speech toolkit of OGI in U.S.A. The result shows that the recognition rate of the case in which the diphthong is established as a single unit is superior to that of the case in which the diphthong is established as two units, i.e. a glide plus a vowel. And recognizer using manually-aligned training data is a little superior to that using automatically-aligned training data. Also, the recognition rate of the case in which the bipbone is used as the recognition unit is better than that of the case in which the mono-Phoneme is used.

This paper proposes a method to improve speech recognition performance by extracting various pronunciations of the pseudo-morpheme unit from an eojeol unit corpus and generating a new recognition unit considering pronunciation variations. In the proposed method, we first align the pronunciation of the eojeol units and the pseudo-morpheme units, and then expand the pronunciation dictionary by extracting the new pronunciations of the pseudo-morpheme units at the pronunciation of the eojeol units. Then, we propose a new recognition unit that relies on pronunciation by tagging the obtained phoneme symbols according to the pseudo-morpheme units. The proposed units and their extended pronunciations are incorporated into the lexicon and language model of the speech recognizer. Experiments for performance evaluation are performed using the Korean speech recognizer with a trigram language model obtained by a 100 million pseudo-morpheme corpus and an acoustic model trained by a multi-genre broadcast speech data of 445 hours. The proposed method is shown to reduce the word error rate relatively by 13.8% in the news-genre evaluation data and by 4.5% in the total evaluation data.
