This paper is to recognize and play tab chords from guitar musical sheets. The musical chord area of an input image is segmented by changing the image in saturation and applying the Grabcut algorithm. Based on a template matching, our approach detects tab starting sections on a segmented musical area. The virtual block method is introduced to search blanks over chord lines and extract tab fret segments, which doesn't cause the computation loss to remove tab lines. In the experimental tests, the prototype based classification outperforms Bayesian method and the nearest neighbor rule with the whole set of training data and its performance is similar to that of the support vector machine. The experimental result shows that the prediction rate is about 99.0% and the number of selected prototypes is below 3.0%.

In this paper, we present a speaker-dependent Korean Isolated digit recognition system. At the preprocessing step, LPC cepstral coefficients are extracted from speech signal, and are used as the input of a Frequency Sensitive Competitive Learning(FSCL) neural network. We carried out the postprocessing based on the winning-neuron histogram. Experimetal results Indicate the possibility of commercial auto-dial telephones.

In general, triangular shape filters are used in the filter bank when we get the MFCCs from the spectrum of speech signal. In [1], a new feature extraction approach is proposed, which uses specific filter shapes in the filter bank that are obtained from the spectrum of training speech data. In this approach, principal component analysis technique is applied to the spectrum of the training data to get the filter coefficients. In this paper, we carry out speech recognition experiments, using the new approach given in [1], for a large amount of telephone speech data, that is, the telephone speech database of Korean connected digit released by SITEC. Experimental results are discussed with our findings.

In this paper, the classification performance of learning algorithms is compared for TAB digit recognition. The TAB digits that are segmented from TAB musical notes contain TAB lines and musical symbols. The labeling method and non-linear filter are designed and applied to extract fret digits only. The shift operation of the 4 directions is applied to generate more data. The selected models are Bayesian classifier, support vector machine, prototype based learning, multi-layer perceptron, and convolutional neural network. The result shows that the mean accuracy of the Bayesian classifier is about 85.0% while that of the others reaches more than 99.0%. In addition, the convolutional neural network outperforms the others in terms of generalization and the step of the data preprocessing.

This paper describes an efficient algorithm to generate compact and complete prompts lists for connected spoken words speech corpus. In building a connected spoken digit recognizer, we have to acquire speech data in various contexts. However, in many speech databases the lists are made by using random generators. We provide an efficient algorithm that can generate compact and complete lists of digits in various contexts. This paper includes the proof of optimality and completeness of the algorithm.

In this paper we proposed the user identification system using hybrid biometric information and non-contact IC card to improve the accuracy of the system. The hybrid biometric information consists of the face image, the iris image, and the 4-digit voice password of user. And the non-contact IC card provides the base information of user If the distance between the sample hybrid biometric Information corresponding to the base information of user and the measured biometric information is less than the given threshold value, the identification is accepted. Otherwise it is rejected. Through the result of experimentation, this paper shows that the proposed method has better identification rate than the conventional identification method.

The aim of this paper is to propose the method of WDHMM(Weighted DHMM), using the MLP-VQ for the improvement of speaker-independent connect-digit recognition system. MLP neural-network output distribution shows a probability distribution that presents the degree of similarity between each pattern by the non-linear mapping among the input patterns and learning patterns. MLP-VQ is proposed in this paper. It generates codewords by using the output node index which can reach the highest level within MLP neural-network output distribution. Different from the old VQ, the true characteristics of this new MLP-VQ lie in that the degree of similarity between present input patterns and each learned class pattern could be reflected for the recognition model. WDHMM is also proposed. It can use the MLP neural-network output distribution as the way of weighing the symbol generation probability of DHMMs. This newly-suggested method could shorten the time of HMM parameter estimation and recognition. The reason is that it is not necessary to regard symbol generation probability as multi-dimensional normal distribution, as opposed to the old SCHMM. This could also improve the recognition ability by 14.7% higher than DHMM, owing to the increase of small caculation amount. Because it can reflect phone class relations to the recognition model. The result of my research shows that speaker-independent connected-digit recognition, using MLP-VQ and WDHMM, is 84.22%.

In this paper, we present a robust recognition algorithm based on the Wiener filtering method as a research tool to develop the Korean Speech recognition system. We especially used Wiener filtering method in cepstrum-domain, because the method in frequency-domain is computationally expensive and complex. Evaluation of the effectiveness of this method has been conducted in speaker-independent isolated Korean digit recognition tasks using discrete HMM speech recognition systems. In these tasks, we used 12th order weighted cepstral as a feature vector and added computer simulated white gaussian noise of different levels to clean speech signals for recognition experiments under noisy conditions. Experimental results show that the presented algorithm can provide an improvement in recognition of as much as from $5\%\;to\;\20\%$ in comparison to spectral subtraction method.

In digital communicatioin networks, speech recognition systems conventionally reconstruct speech followed by extracting feature [parameters. In this paper, we consider a useful approach by incorporating speech coding parameters into the speech recognizer. Most speech coders employed in the networks represent line spectral pairs as spectral parameters. In order to improve the recognition performance of the LSP-based speech recognizer, we introduce two different ways: one is to devise weighed distance measures of LSPs and the other is to transform LSPs into a new feature set, named a pseudo-cepstrum. Experiments on speaker-independent connected-digit recognition showed that the weighted distance measures significantly improved the recognition accuracy than the unweighted one of LSPs. Especially we could obtain more improved performance by using PCEP. Compared to the conventional methods employing mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, the proposed methods achieved higher performance in recognition accuracies.
