The present study describes a combination method to recognize the human affective states such as anger, happiness, sadness, or surprise. For this, we extracted emotional features from voice signals and facial expressions, and then trained them to recognize emotional states using hidden Markov model (HMM) and neural network (NN). For voices, we used prosodic parameters such as pitch signals, energy, and their derivatives, which were then trained by HMM for recognition. For facial expressions, on the other hands, we used feature parameters extracted from thermal and visible images, and these feature parameters were then trained by NN for recognition. The recognition rates for the combined parameters obtained from voice and facial expressions showed better performance than any of two isolated sets of parameters. The simulation results were also compared with human questionnaire results.

This study proposed a new approach to develop an Intelligent control algorithm for cooperative working of human and robot based on voice recognition. In general case of speaker verification, Gaussian Mixture Model is used to model the feature vectors of reference speech signals. On the other hand, Dynamic Time Warping based template matching techniques were presented for the voice recognition about several years ago. We converge these two different concepts in a single method and then implement in a real time voice recognition enough to make reference model to satisfy 95% of recognition performance. In this paper it was illustrated the reliability of voice recognition by simulation and experiments for humanoid robot with 18 joints.

음성인식 기술은 딥러닝과 결합되며 빠른 속도로 발전하고 있다. 특히 음성인식 서비스가 인공지능 스피커, 차량용 음성인식, 스마트폰 등의 각종 기기와 연결되며 음성인식 기술이 산업의 특정 분야가 아닌 다양한 곳에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 해당 기술에 대한 높은 기대 수준을 맞추기 위한 연구 역시 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그중에서 자연어처리(NLP, Natural Language Processing)분야에서 음성인식 인식률에 많은 영향을 주는 주변의 소음이나 불필요한 음성신호를 제거하는 분야에 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 이미 많은 국내외 기업에서 이러한 연구를 위해 최신의 인공지능 기술을 활용하고 있다. 그중에서 합성곱신경망 알고리즘(CNN)을 활용한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 합성곱 신경망을 통해서 사용자의 발화구간에서 비음성 구간을 판별하는 것으로 5명의 발화자의 음성파일(wav)을 수집하여 학습용 데이터를 생성하고 이를 합성곱신경망을 활용하여 음성 구간과 비음성 구간을 판별하는 분류 모델을 생성하였다. 이후 생성된 모델을 통해 비음성 구간을 탐지하는 실험을 진행한 결과 94%의 정확도를 얻었다.

본 연구는 스마트 폰 음성인식 서비스를 분석하고 음성인식 서비스의 상황별 만족도 조사를 통하여 사용자들의 기대요구와 만족도 간의 관련성을 분석하여 더 나은 음성인식 서비스 발전을 모색하고자 하였다. 1차로 문헌연구를 통하여 음성인식 서비스의 개념과 현황을 알아보고, 2차로 육하원칙을 기조로 한 설문지를 통해 설문 조사를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 사용자는 스마트 폰 음성인식 서비스를 전화를 걸 때에 가장 많이 사용하며, 주로 혼자 있을 때 사용하며 시간대는 대체로 평이하지만, 저녁 시간이 가장 많았다. 또한, 해당 서비스는 집에서 가장 많이 사용하며 손을 사용할 수 없을 때 서비스를 가장 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 상황별 다양한 결과를 통해 개인화 서비스, 조건 인식 기능, 위급 상황 자동인식, 음성으로 잠금 해제 등 다양한 방안을 도출할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 추후 국내 스마트 폰 음성인식 서비스 개선과 웨어러블 디바이스 개발을 위해 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The Voice recognition is one of convenient methods to communicate between human and robots. This study proposes a speech recognition method using speech recognizers based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with a combination of techniques to enhance a biped robot control. In the past, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Dynamic Time Wrapping (DTW) were used, however, currently they are less commonly applied to speech recognition systems. This Research confirms that the HMM, an accepted high-performance technique, can be successfully employed to model speech signals. High recognition accuracy can be obtained by using HMMs. Apart from speech modeling techniques, multiple feature extraction methods have been studied to find speech stresses caused by emotions and the environment to improve speech recognition rates. The procedure consisted of 2 parts: one is recognizing robot commands using multiple HMM recognizers, and the other is sending recognized commands to control a robot. In this paper, a practical voice recognition system which can recognize a lot of task commands is proposed. The proposed system consists of a general purpose microprocessor and a useful voice recognition processor which can recognize a limited number of voice patterns. By simulation and experiment, it was illustrated the reliability of voice recognition rates for application of the manufacturing process.

High reliability of automatic speaker recognition regardless of voice conditions is necessary for forensic application. Audio recordings in real cases are not consistent in voice conditions, such as duration, time interval of recording, given text or conversational speech, transmission channel, etc. In this study the variation of verification error rate of ASR system with the voice conditions was investigated. As a result in order to decrease both false rejection rate and false acception rate, the various voices should be used for training and the duration of train voices should be longer than the test voices.

VoIP technology has been widely used for exchanging voice or image data through IP networks. VoIP technology, often called Internet Telephony, sends and receives voice data over the RTP protocol during the session. However, there is an exposition risk in the voice data in VoIP using the RTP protocol, where the RTP protocol does not have a specification for encryption of the original data. We implement programs that can extract meaningful information from the user's dialogue. The meaningful information means the information that the program user wants to obtain. In order to do that, our implementation has two parts. One is the client part, which inputs the keyword of the information that the user wants to obtain, and the other is the server part, which sniffs and performs the speech recognition process. We use the Google Speech API from Google Cloud, which uses machine learning in the speech recognition process. Finally, we discuss the usability and the limitations of the implementation with the example.

On the assumption that the voices of the cows are produced by the linear prediction filter, we characterized the cows’voices. The order of this filter was determined by examining the voice characteristics both in time and frequency domains. The proposed order of the linear prediction filter is 15 for modeling voice production of the cow. The characteristics of the amplitude envelope of the voice signal was investigated by analyzing the sequence of the short time variance both in time and frequency domains, and the new parameters were defined. One of the coefficients o the linear prediction filter generating the voice signal, the fundamental frequency, the slope of the straight line regressed from the log-log spectra of the short time variance and the coefficients of the linear prediction filter generating the sequence of the short time variance of the voice signal can differentiate the two cows.
