Vocal Processing With Spectral Analysis, Bradley J. Fitzgerald
Vocal Processing With Spectral Analysis, Bradley J. Fitzgerald
ELAIA
A well-known signal processing issue is that of the “cocktail party problem,” which A well-known signal processing issue is that of the “cocktail party problem,” which refers to the need to be able to separate speakers from a mixture of voices. A solution to this problem could provide insight into signal separation in a variety of signal processing fields. In this study, a method of vocal signal processing was examined to determine if principal component analysis of spectral data could be used to characterize differences between speakers and if these differences could be used to separate mixtures of vocal signals. …
State Acquisition In Computer Networks, Ruairí De Fréin
State Acquisition In Computer Networks, Ruairí De Fréin
Conference papers
We establish that State Acquisition should be per- formed in networks at a rate which is consistent with the rate-of-change of the element or service being observed. We demonstrate that many existing monitoring and service-level prediction tools do not acquire network state in an appropriate manner. To address this challenge: (1) we define the rate-of- change of different applications; (2) we use methods for analysis of unevenly spaced time series, specifically, time series arising from video and voice applications, to estimate the rate-of-change of these services; and finally, (3) we demonstrate how to acquire network state accurately for a number …

A method of vocal signal processing was examined to determine if principal component analysis of spectral data may be used to characterize differences between speakers and if these differences may be used to separate mixtures of vocal signals. Processing was done on a set of voice recordings from 30 different speakers in order to create a projection matrix which could be used by an algorithm to identify the source of an unknown recording from one of the 30 speakers. Two different identification algorithms were tested, both of which were generally unable to correctly identify the source of a single vocal …
Weed And Crop Discrimination Through An Offline Computer Vision Algorithm, Phillip Jamison Putney
Weed And Crop Discrimination Through An Offline Computer Vision Algorithm, Phillip Jamison Putney
Scholar Week 2016 - present
With the recent global interest in organic farming and cultivation, many people are turning away from chemical-based herbicides and moving towards alternate methods to extirpate weeds living amongst their crops. Of the methods proposed, robotic weed detection and removal is the most promising because of its possibility to be completely autonomous. Several robust, fully-autonomous robots have been developed, although none have approved for commercial use. This paper proposes a weed and crop discrimination algorithm that utilizes an excessive green color filter paired with principal component analysis to detect spatial frequencies within an image corresponding to different types of weeds and …
