본 논문에서는 웹상에서의 음성인식 시스템을 구현하기 위해 자바애플릿과 연속분포HMM을 이용하여 단어 단위 인식을 실행하였다. 이 시스템은 Browser-embedded 모델로 구성되었으며 클라이언트컴퓨터에서는 애플릿으로 음성을 처리하여 특징파라미터들을 인터넷을 통해 서버컴퓨터로 보내고, 서버의 음성인식기는 전향 알고리듬을 적용하여 인식된 결과를 클라이언트컴퓨터에게 보내어 문자로 출력하도록 설계하였다. 훈련DB는 자동차 항법시스템에서 사용되는 22개 단어로 구축되었다.

확률적 모델을 이용한 HMM 으로 한국어 연속 음성 인식시스템을 구성하였다. 학습 모델로서는 양자화 DCK가 없는 연속출력 확률밀도를 사용한 연속출력 확률분포 HMM과 과도 구간 및 정상 구간의 시간구조를 충분히 BYGUS할 수 없는 것을 계속시간 확률 파라메터를 추가하여 보완한 이산 지속시간 제어 연속출력 확률분포 HMM을 이용하였다. 인식 알고리즘은 시계열 패턴의 시간축상에서의 비선형 신축을 고려한 에 매칭으로서, 음절의 경계를 자동으로 검출하는 O에을 이용하였다. 실험에서 사용된 연속음성데이타는 4연 숫자음과 연속음성 10문장으로 하였다. 인식 실험 결과 4연 숫자음에서 CHMM은 80.7%, DDCHMM은 92.9%의 인식률을 얻었고, 신문 사설에서 발췌한 연속 음성문장의 경우 CHMM 54.2%, DDCHMM에서는 68.9%을 얻어, 시간장 제어를 고려한 DDCHMM이 CHMM보다 SHB은 인식률을 얻었다.

문장내 휴지구간의 위치와 길이는 합성음의 자연성을 결정짓는 주요 운율 파라미터 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 한국어 음성합성기의 합성음 생성에서 자연성 개선을 위해서 문장내 끊어읽기 위치 및 길이를 추정하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 실제 발화에서 끊어 읽기가 발생하는 요인을 검토하였다. 그리고 이들 요인에 부합하여 텍스트에 4단계의 끊어 읽기를 표기함으로써 다량의 데이터를 확보하고 이를 이용한 NN 학습 결과와 HMM 추정 기의 성능을 비교 검토한다. 현재까지의 결과로는 NN 학습의 경우 끊어읽기 없는 경우와 긴 끊어읽기의 추정에서는 우수한 예측능력을 보이지만 짧은 끊어읽기, 중간 끊어읽기의 경 우는 HMM의 성능이 우수한 것으로 판명되었다. 전반적인 성능에서는 HMM이 우수하며 끊어읽기 종류에 따라 추정오차가 10∼25%로서 안정적인 결과를 얻었으며 TTS에의 활용 가능성을 보였다.

This paper describes two kinds of neural networks for stereoscopic vision, which have been applied to an identification of human speech. In speech recognition based on the stereoscopic vision neural networks (SVNN), the similarities are first obtained by comparing input vocal signals with standard models. They are then given to a dynamic process in which both competitive and cooperative processes are conducted among neighboring similarities. Through the dynamic processes, only one winner neuron is finally detected. In a comparative study, with, the average phoneme recognition accuracy on the two-layered SVNN was 7.7% higher than the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) recognizer with the structure of a single mixture and three states, and the three-layered was 6.6% higher. Therefore, it was noticed that SVNN outperformed the existing HMM recognizer in phoneme recognition.

This paper presents a voice-activity detection (VAD) method for sound sequences with various SNRs. For real-time VAD applications, it is inadequate to employ a post-processing for the removal of burst clippings from the VAD output decision. To tackle this problem, building on the bi-level hidden Markov model, for which a state layer is inserted into a typical hidden Markov model (HMM), we formulated a robust method for VAD not requiring any additional post-processing. In the method, a forward-inference-ratio test was devised to detect the speech endpoints and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) were used as the features. Our experiment results show that, regarding different SNRs, the performance of the proposed approach is more outstanding than those of the conventional methods.

Facial expression recognition is an intensive research area for designing Human Computer Interfaces. In this work, we present a new facial expression recognition system utilizing Enhanced Independent Component Analysis (EICA) for feature extraction and discrete Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for recognition. Our proposed approach for the first time deals with sequential images of emotion-specific facial data analyzed with EICA and recognized with HMM. Performance of our proposed system has been compared to the conventional approaches where Principal and Independent Component Analysis are utilized for feature extraction. Our preliminary results show that our proposed algorithm produces improved recognition rates in comparison to previous works.

In this paper, a novel human activity recognition method is proposed which utilizes independent components of activity shape information from image sequences and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for recognition. Activities are represented by feature vectors from Independent Component Analysis (ICA) on video images, and based on these features; recognition is achieved by trained HMMs of activities. Our recognition performance has been compared to the conventional method where Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is typically used to derive activity shape features. Our results show that superior recognition is achieved with our proposed method especially for activities (e.g., skipping) that cannot be easily recognized by the conventional method.

Power transmission lines are one of the most important components of electric power system. Failures in the operation of power transmission lines can result in serious power system problems. Hence, fault diagnosis (transient or permanent) in power transmission lines is very important to ensure the reliable operation of the power system. A hidden Markov model (HMM), a powerful pattern recognizer, classifies events in a probabilistic manner based on fault signal waveform and characteristics. This paper presents application of HMM to classify faults in overhead power transmission lines. The algorithm uses voltage samples of one-fourth cycle from the inception of the fault. The simulation performed in EMTPWorks and MATLAB environments validates the fast response of the classifier, which provides fast and accurate protection scheme for power transmission lines.

In this paper, we propose an automatic system that recognizes dynamic human gestures activity, including Arabic numbers from 0 to 9. We assume the gesture trajectory is almost in a plane that called principal gesture plane, then the Least Squares Method is used to estimate the plane and project the 3-D trajectory model onto the principal. An improved FNN model combined with HMM is proposed for dynamic gesture recognition, which combines ability of HMM model for temporal data modeling with that of fuzzy neural network. The proposed algorithm shows that satisfactory performance and high recognition rate.

In this paper, a novel system for avatar motion controlling by tracking face is presented. The system is composed of three main parts: firstly, LCS (Local Cluster Searching) method based face feature detection algorithm, secondly, HMM based feature points recognition algorithm, and finally, avatar controlling and animation generation algorithm. In LCS method, face region can be divided into many small piece regions in horizontal and vertical direction. Then the method will judge each cross point that if it is an object point, edge point or the background point. The HMM method will distinguish the mouth, eyes, nose etc. from these feature points. Based on the detected facial feature points, the 3D avatar is controlled by two ways: avatar orientation and animation, the avatar orientation controlling information can be acquired by analyzing facial geometric information; avatar animation can be generated from the face feature points smoothly. And finally for evaluating performance of the developed system, we implement the system on Window XP OS, the results show that the system can have an excellent performance.
