This paper describes a sound scene database necessary for studies such as sound source localization, sound re trieval, sound recognition and hands-free speech recognition in real acoustical environments. This paper reports ...

This paper presents a decision tree-based algorithm to cluster residual segments assuming an excitation model based on statedependent filtering of pulse train and white noise. The decision tree construction principle is ...

In this paper, we propose a method to realize compound video (multiple videos on a layout)delivery service for mobile terminals. In the proposed method, we introduce proxies which receive multiple videos from corresponding ...

In augmented virtuality, estimating object surface reflectance properties is important when rendering objects under arbitrary illumination conditions. However, faithfully estimating surface reflectance properties is difficult ...

In many real-life problems, we are often faced with manipulating families of sets. Manipulation of large-scale set families is one of the important fundamental techniques for web information retrieval, integration, and ...

The sound data for open evaluation is necessary for studies such as sound source localization, sound retrieval, sound recognition and hands-free speech recognition in real acoustic environments. This paper reports on our ...

In this paper we present the first public Japanese speech corpus for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) technology, which we have titled JNAS (Japanese Newspaper Article Sentences). We designed it to ...

For the purpose of building Text-to-Speech (TTS) system that can generate high-quality and wide range speech in prosody, we conducted speech database construction. As a speech synthesizer, we use a hybrid system which ...

The purpose of this research is to detect low usability web pages from the behavior of users, such as browsing time, mouse movement and eye movement. We experimented to investigate the relation between the quantitative ...

When we use a PTZ camera and background subtraction to detect moving objects, we must synchronize the PTZ of the camera and the PTZ of the background image. This proposed method uses a fixed omnidirectional camera which ...
