운율구 경계 예측은 TTS(Text-To-Speech) 엔진이 정확하고 자연스러운 음성합성을 하기 위해 꼭 필요한 기술이다. 하지만, 소프트웨어나 하드웨어적 자원을 많이 요구하는 기술이기 때문에 실행 환경의 제약을 많이 받는다. 본 논문에서는 소형 전자제품과 같이 제한된 환경에서도 안정적으로 실현되는 경량화 운율구 경계 예측 시스템의 개발 과정과 결과에 대하여 설명한다. 운율구 경계 예측 시스템의 필수 요소인 형태소 분석기의 경량화와 전통적인 규칙 기반 운율구 경계 예측 기술과 달리 품사 분석과 구문 분석이 필요하지 않은 운율구 경계 예측 기술을 소개한다.

반려동물 보유 가구 수가 증가하면서 반려동물의 상실로 인한 펫로스 증후군을 호소하는 반려인 또한 증가하고 있다. 펫로스 증후군을 치유하기 위해 반려동물을 가상으로라도 만나서 평소에 하던 말과 행동을 할 수 있도록 하여 차츰 이별을 할 수 있도록 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 VR을 통하여 반려인이 3D로 모델링 된 반려동물과 직접 교감할 수 있는 시스템에 대한 연구 내용을 기술한다. 이 시스템을 통해 떠나보낸 반려동물과 평소와 같은 말과 행동을 할 수 있도록 도와주어 감정의 정화를 서서히 할 수 있도록 해준다.

인터넷 미디어, OTT, VOD 등 신규미디어가 비장애인의 정보제공 매체로 널리 확대되나, 자막 서비스를 제공하지 않아 청각장애인의 정보 격차가 더욱 심화되고 있다. 청각장애인의 미디어 접근성 제고를 위해 음성인식 서버 및 스마트 폰·태블릿 앱 간 연계를 통해 음성을 인식하여 자동으로 자막을 생성하고 표시하는 음성-자막 자동 변환 시스템을 개발하였고 음성인식률을 높이기 위해 뉴스/시사/다큐 장르 영상 콘텐츠의 음성에 대해 학습용 데이터를 제작하여 음성인식 성능을 고도화 시켰다. 본 논문에서는 청각장애인을 위한 음성-자막 자동 변환시스템 구성과 음성인식률 비교 평가 결과를 보여준다.

현재 시각장애인들이 현금을 사용하게 될 시 지폐가 얼마인지 확인할 방법이 없어 불편을 겪거나 금전적 사기를 당할 위험이 잦다. 한국은행에서는 이러한 사고를 막기 위해 점자 지폐를 만들어 발부하고 있지만 시각장애인 91%가 식별하지 못해 많은 불편을 겪고 있다. 본 논문에서는 딥러닝을 활용하여 화폐를 인식하고 TTS 기술을 사용하여 지폐의 값이 얼마인지 소리로 알려주는 시스템을 개발하였다. 지폐 인식을 위해 데이터를 직접 수집하여 YOLOv5 알고리즘을 활용하여 학습시킨 Weights 파일을 사용하였다. 이를 활용하여 시각장애인들은 더 안전하게 현금을 사용하고, 금전적인 문제를 예방할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a delta energy method based on Parameter Filtering(PF), which is a speech segmentation algorithm for text dependent speaker verification system over telephone line. Our parametric filter bank adopts a variable bandwidth along with a fixed center frequency. Comparing with other methods, the proposed method turns out very robust to channel noise and background noise. Using this method, we segment an utterance into consecutive subword units, and make models using each subword nit. In terms of EER, the speaker verification system based on whole word model represents 6.1%, whereas the speaker verification system based on subword model represents 4.0%, improving about 2% in EER.

The rapid proliferation of wireless networks provides a ubiquitous channel for delivering instructional materials at the convenience of the user. By delivering content through portable devices linked to the Internet, the full spectrum of multimedia capabilities is available for engaging the user's interest. This capability encompasses not only text but images, video, speech generation and voice recognition. Moreover, the incorporation of machine learning capabilities at the source provides the ability to tailor the material to the general level of expertise of the user as well as the immediate needs of the moment: for instance, a request for information regarding a particular city might be covered by a leisurely presentation if solicited from the home, but more tersely if the user happens to be driving a car. This paper presents system architecture to support mobile instruction in conjunction with knowledge-based tutoring capabilities. For concreteress, the general concepts are examined in the context of a system for mathematics education on the Web.

In this paper, we propose system that apply VIBL method to add speech recognition to LIBL method based on human s studying method to use natural language to steering system of ship, MERCS and winch appliances and use VIBL method to alternate process that linguistic instruction such as officer s steering instruction is achieved via ableman and control steering gear, MERCS and winch appliances. By specific method of study, ableman s suitable steering manufacturing model embodies intelligent steering gear controlling system that embody and language direction base studying method to present proper meaning element and evaluation rule to steering system of ship apply and respond more efficiently on voice instruction of commander using fuzzy inference rule. Also we embody system that recognize voice direction of commander and control MERCS and winch appliances. We embodied steering manufacturing model based on ableman s experience and presented rudder angle for intelligent steering system, compass bearing arrival time, evaluation rule to propose meaning element of stationary state and correct steerman manufacturing model rule using technique to recognize voice instruction of commander and change to text and fuzzy inference. Also we apply VIBL method to speech recognition ship control simulator and confirmed the effectiveness.

In this paper, a contort- and speaker-dependent cepstrum extraction method and a channel normalization method for minimizing the loss of speaker characteristics in the cepstrum were proposed for a robust speaker recognition system over the channel. The proposed extraction method creates a cepstrum based on the pitch synchronous analysis using the inherent pitch of the speaker. Therefore, the cepstrum called the 〃pitch synchronous cepstrum〃 (PSC) represents the impulse response of the vocal tract more accurately in voiced speech. And the PSC can compensate for channel distortion because the pitch is more robust in a channel environment than the spectrum of speech. And the proposed channel normalization method, the 〃formant-broadened pitch synchronous CMS〃 (FBPSCMS), applies the Formant-Broadened CMS to the PSC and improves the accuracy of the intraframe processing. We compared the text-independent closed-set speaker identification on 56 females and 112 males using TIMIT and NTIMIT database, respectively. The results show that pitch synchronous km improves the error reduction rate by up to 7.7% in comparison with conventional short-time cepstrum and the error rates of the FBPSCMS are more stable and lower than those of pole-filtered CMS.

Though Android-based smart phones are being released in Korea, Korean TTS engine is not built on them and Google has not announced service or software developer's kit related to Korean TTS officially. Thus, application developers who want to include Korean TTS capability in their application have difficulties. In this paper, we design and implement Android OS-based Korean TTS system and service. For speed, text preprocessing and synthesis libraries are implemented using Android NDK. By using Java's thread mechanism and the AudioTrack class, the response time of TTS is minimized. For the test of implemented service, an application that reads incoming SMS is developed. The test shows that synthesized speech are generated in real-time for random sentences. By using the implemented Korean TTS service, Android application developers can transmit information easily through voice. Korean TTS service proposed and implemented in this paper overcomes shortcomings of the existing restrictive synthesis methods and provides the benefit for application developers and users.

Using these systems, additional information on the paintings and exhibits may be provided in the forms of text, image, speech, and video However, at museums and exhibitions, many tourists are often interested in exhibits of some particular style, authors, or coteries. The proposed Augmented Reality based guidance system may guide the users to exhibits of their interest for selective viewing. Location of the next exhibit of interest may be informed to the users as well as additional multimedia information on the exhibits of interest Such information is shown on the Augmented Reality views of the user's display device. The proposed system is composed an Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC), an inertia tracker, and a camera. In the beginning, the user may select his/her preference on the exhibits from the menu, and then the system starts guiding by showing the relative orientation, distance, and visual cue to find a next exhibit. When the user finds and locates the matching visual cue within a matching box of the display screen, the system provides multimedia information on the exhibit. According to the preliminary user test, the proposed system is convenient and useful for navigating through large-scale exhibition.
