Human-Centric Interfaces for Ambient Intelligence
Elsevier Science 2009; US$ 138.95To create truly effective human-centric ambient intelligence systems both engineering and computing methods are needed. This is the first book to bridge data processing and intelligent reasoning methods for the creation of human-centered ambient intelligence systems. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book covers topics such as multi-modal interfaces,... more...
DAFX
Wiley 2011; US$ 120.00The rapid development in various fields of Digital Audio Effects, or DAFX, has led to new algorithms and this second edition of the popular book, DAFX: Digital Audio Effects has been updated throughout to reflect progress in the field. It maintains a unique approach to DAFX with a lecture-style introduction into the basics of effect processing. Each... more...
The Design of Active Crossovers
Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 69.95The Design of Active Crossovers is a unique guide to the design of high-quality circuitry for splitting audio frequencies into separate bands and directing them to different loudspeaker drive units specifically designed for handling their own range of frequencies. Traditionally this has been done by using passive crossover units built into the loudspeaker... more...
Cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems
CRC Press 2011; US$ 79.95SCADA - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition - Systems don't necessarily mesh well with standard IT security, although combined the two can create deepened levels of protection. This book demonstrates how to develop a SCADA cyber security program and how to work with internal and external IT resources in order to implement it. The technical... more...
Multi-Pitch Estimation
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2009; US$ 40.00Periodic signals can be decomposed into sets of sinusoids having frequencies that are integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. The problem of finding such fundamental frequencies from noisy observations is important in many speech and audio applications, where it is commonly referred to as pitch estimation. These applications include analysis,... more...
Articulatory Speech Synthesis from the Fluid Dynamics of the Vocal Apparatus
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2012; US$ 40.00This book addresses the problem of articulatory speech synthesis based on computed vocal tract geometries and the basic physics of sound production in it. Unlike conventional methods based on analysis/synthesis using the well-known source filter model, which assumes the independence of the excitation and filter, we treat the entire vocal apparatus... more...
Handling Emotions in Human-Computer Dialogues
Springer 2009; US$ 109.99In this book, a novel approach that combines speech-based emotion recognition with adaptive human-computer dialogue modeling is described. With the robust recognition of emotions from speech signals as their goal, the authors analyze the effectiveness of using a plain emotion recognizer, a speech-emotion recognizer combining speech and emotion recognition,... more...
Automatic Speech Signal Analysis for Clinical Diagnosis and Assessment of Speech Disorders
Springer 2012; US$ 39.99"Automatic Speech Signal Analysis for Clinical Diagnosis and Assessment of Speech Disorders" provides a survey of methods designed to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and monitoring of speech disorders such as dysarthria and dyspraxia, with an emphasis on the signal processing techniques, statistical validity of the results presented in the... more...
Techniques for Noise Robustness in Automatic Speech Recognition
Wiley 2012; US$ 134.50Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are finding increasing use in everyday life. Many of the commonplace environments where the systems are used are noisy, for example users calling up a voice search system from a busy cafeteria or a street. This can result in degraded speech recordings and adversely affect the performance of speech recognition... more...
