Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Noises on Fujisaki’s Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Modeling of fundamental frequency (F0) contour plays an important role on the natural speech processing, since F0 is an important speech feature defining the human speech prosody. In Thai, there are four main dialects spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Environmental noises are also plays an important role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Environmental Noises on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai Expressive SpeechSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: The expressive speech of Thai had been studied for a short period of time. An important feature of speech was fundamental frequency (F0) which defines the human speech prosody. It could be used to distinguish the difference between several types of expressive speech. The environmental noises affect the F0 contour for Thai dialects as concluded in the previous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 28 Jun 2012 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMedical Image Compression with Lossless Region of Interest Using Adaptive Active ContourR. Loganathan, Y. S. KumaraswamyProblem statement: With increasing bandwidth, digital medical image storage and transmission is a boon to patients and health professionals alike. Medical images are available instantly and avoid the need to carry the data physically. Popular imaging techniques extensively used in medicine include X-Ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound and Computed Tomography (CT). The images produced from the above techniques can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 1 Mar 2012 · 7,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFujisaki's Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In general, there are a number of rural dialects in Thai. However, four dialects are mainly spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Recognizing and synthesizing Thai speech with different dialects are consequently difficult. Approach: Prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 19 Nov 2010 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai Expressive SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Appropriate modeling of fundamental Frequency (F0) contour for speech is a key factor to preserve the quality of speech prosody. One successful approach has been conducted for tonal language of Mandarin Chinese. It is based on the assumption that the behavioral characteristics of vocal-fold elongation in vibration could be approximated by those of a simple forced vibrating system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalytical Study on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai Expressive Speech Using Fujisaki's ModelSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody effects on not only the naturalness but also the intelligibility of speech. Focusing on synthesis of Thai expressive speech, a number of systems has been developed for years. However, the expressive speech with various speaking styles has not been accomplished. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA robust Approach to Classify Microcalcification in Digital Mammograms Using Contourlet Transform and Support Vector MachineJ. S. Leena Jasmine, S. Baskaran, A. GovardhanMammogram is the best available radiographic method to detect breast cancer in the early stage. However detecting a microcalcification clusters in the early stage is a tough task for the radiologist. Herein we present a novel approach for classifying microcalcification in digital mammograms using Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The classification of microcalcification is achieved by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2013 · 7,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTRACKING THE POSITION OF MULTIPLE HUMAN GESTURES USING CONTOUR MAPPING ALGORITHMT. S. Arulananth, T. Jayasingh, S. RaviThis study relates to a method for determining the position variation (for example a moving object, facial gesture tracking) using markers. The movement is determined based on the periodic frames captured using a camera. The experimental results show that this algorithm can accurately segment human movements from complex background and can greatly reduce the computational workload with less storage memory, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 22 May 2014 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalytical Study of Fujisaki’s Model of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai TonesSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Tone of a tonal language is an important feature of a prosodic syllable to identify the meanings of that syllable or that part of word. Ii is very crucial to model the feature related to tone of speech to achieve the most naturalness in speech communication. Approach: The study presents an approach to analyze the model parameters of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Aug 2012 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
