This paper describes a new method for a speech playback speed control with high quality. The proposed method provides an adaptive threshold filtering solution for detecting active regions of a speech signal that are followed by playback speed. For a given playback speed, threshold value is adaptively determined with the statistics(:mean and standard deviation) of each frame in speech, and is used to select only active blocks within the current frame. To minimize quality degradation(i.e., pitch degradation) caused due to high-speed playback, the threshold filtering priorly eliminates relatively low-activity blocks including voice and unvoice. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides a playback speed control solution with higher quality than SOLA(Synchonized OverLap Add) method using the pitch extraction of speech.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for non-streaming synchronized data processing based on ATSC-DASE in terrestrial digital data broadcasting services. Non-streaming synchronized data is encapsulated in DSM-CC sections with PTS(presentation time stamp) values associated with A/V and it is transmitted in a form of MPEG-2 TS(transport stream). At the receiver, the transmitted A/V data are processed by PC based set-top box(STB) in real-time, and the transmitted non-streaming synchronized data is also stored at the STB and is displayed at right time by the proposed algorithm. To verity the proper operation of the proposed algorithm, we make a scenario for non-streaming synchronized data by XML, and finally we are able to display it properly by using declarative application(DA) browser.
