  • Can Skype Be More Satisfying? a Qoe-Centric Study of the FEC
    HUANG LAYOUT 2/22/10 1:14 PM Page 2 Could Skype Be More Satisfying? A QoE-Centric Study of the FEC Mechanism in an Internet-Scale VoIP System Te-Yuan Huang, Stanford University Polly Huang, National Taiwan University Kuan-Ta Chen, Academia Sinica Po-Jung Wang, National Taiwan University Abstract The phenomenal growth of Skype in recent years has surpassed all expectations. Much of the application’s success is attributed to its FEC mechanism, which adds redundancy to voice streams to sustain audio quality under network impairments. Adopting the quality of experience approach (i.e., measuring the mean opinion scores), we examine how much redundancy Skype adds to its voice streams and systematically explore the optimal level of redundancy for different network and codec settings. This study reveals that Skype’s FEC mechanism, not so surprisingly, falls in the ballpark, but there is surprisingly a significant margin for improvement to ensure consistent user satisfaction. here is no doubt that Skype is the most popular VoIP data, at the error concealment level. service. At the end of 2009, there were 500 million Hereafter, we refer to the redundancy-based error conceal- users registered with Skype, and the number of concur- ment function of the system as the forward error correction rent online users regularly exceeds 20 million.

  • End-To-End Video-To-Speech Synthesis Using Generative Adversarial Networks
    1 End-to-End Video-To-Speech Synthesis using Generative Adversarial Networks Rodrigo Mira, Konstantinos Vougioukas, Pingchuan Ma, Stavros Petridis Member, IEEE Bjorn¨ W. Schuller Fellow, IEEE, Maja Pantic Fellow, IEEE Video-to-speech is the process of reconstructing the audio speech from a video of a spoken utterance. Previous approaches to this task have relied on a two-step process where an intermediate representation is inferred from the video, and is then decoded into waveform audio using a vocoder or a waveform reconstruction algorithm. In this work, we propose a new end-to-end video-to-speech model based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) which translates spoken video to waveform end-to-end without using any intermediate representation or separate waveform synthesis algorithm. Our model consists of an encoder-decoder architecture that receives raw video as input and generates speech, which is then fed to a waveform critic and a power critic. The use of an adversarial loss based on these two critics enables the direct synthesis of raw audio waveform and ensures its realism. In addition, the use of our three comparative losses helps establish direct correspondence between the generated audio and the input video. We show that this model is able to reconstruct speech with remarkable realism for constrained datasets such as GRID, and that it is the first end-to-end model to produce intelligible speech for LRW (Lip Reading in the Wild), featuring hundreds of speakers recorded entirely ‘in the wild’. We evaluate the generated samples in two different scenarios – seen and unseen speakers – using four objective metrics which measure the quality and intelligibility of artificial speech.

Hlas 3 Hlas Kmitočet hlasivek je charakterizován základním tónem lidského hlasu (pitch periode) F0, který tvoří základ znělých zvuků (tj. samohlásek a znělých souhlásek). Kmitočet základního tónu je různý u dětí, dospělých, mužů i žen, pohybuje se většinou v rozmezí 150 až 4 000 Hz. Sdělení zprostředkované řečovým signálem je diskrétní, tzn. může být vyjádřeno ve tvaru posloupnosti konečného počtu symbolů. Každý jazyk má vlastní množinu těchto symbolů – fonemů, většinou 30 až 50. Hlásky řeči dále můžeme rozdělit na znělé (n, e, ...), neznělé (š, č, ...) a jejich kombinace. Znělá hláska představuje kvaziperiodický průběh signálu, neznělá pak signál podobný šumu. Navíc energie znělých hlásek je větší než neznělých. Krátký časový úsek znělé hlásky můžeme charakterizovat její jemnou a formantovou strukturou. Formantem označujeme tón tvořící akustický základ hlásky. Ten vlastně představuje spektrální obal řečového signálu. Jemná harmonická struktura představuje chvění hlasivek. 4 Příklad časového a kmitočtového průběhu znělého a neznělého segmentu hovorového signálu Blíže http://www.itpoint.cz/ip-telefonie/teorie/princip-zpracovani-hlasu-ip-telefonie.asp 5 Pásmo potřebné pro telefonii 6 Pěvecké výkony jsou mimo oblast IP telefonie Blíže diskuze na http://forum.avmania.e15.cz/viewtopic.php?style=2&f=1724&t=1062463&p=6027671&sid= 7 2.

Das Verständnis der Theorie wird Ihnen bei der praktischen Arbeit, insbesondere bei der Fehleranalyse, helfen. Aktuelle Netzwerke sind strukturiert aufgebaut. Die Strukturen basieren auf verschie- denen technologischen Ansätzen. Wenn Sie ein Netzwerk aufbauen wollen, dessen Technologie und Struktur Sie ver- stehen möchten, dann werden Sie ohne Theorie sehr schnell an Grenzen stoßen. Sie berauben sich selbst der Möglichkeit eines optimal konfiguriertes Netzwerkes. In Fehlersituationen werden Ihnen die theoretischen Erkenntnisse helfen, einen Feh- ler im Netzwerk möglichst schnell zu finden und geeignete Maßnahmen zu seiner Beseitigung einzuleiten. Ohne theoretische Grundlagen sind Sie letztlich auf Glücks- treffer angewiesen. Dieses Buch legt den Schwerpunkt auf die praxisorientierte Umsetzung von Netzwer- ken und konzentriert sich auf die Darstellung von kompaktem Netzwerkwissen. Ein Computernetzwerk kann man allgemein als Kommunikationsnetzwerk bezeich- nen. Ausgehend von der menschlichen Kommunikation erkläre ich die Kommunika- tion von PCs im Netzwerk.

  • Audio Processing and Loudness Estimation Algorithms with Ios Simulations
    Audio Processing and Loudness Estimation Algorithms with iOS Simulations by Girish Kalyanasundaram A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved September 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Andreas Spanias, Chair Cihan Tepedelenlioglu Visar Berisha ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2013 ABSTRACT The processing power and storage capacity of portable devices have improved considerably over the past decade. This has motivated the implementation of sophisticated audio and other signal processing algorithms on such mobile devices. Of particular interest in this thesis is audio/speech processing based on perceptual criteria. Specifically, estimation of parameters from human auditory models, such as auditory patterns and loudness, involves computationally intensive operations which can strain device resources. Hence, strategies for implementing computationally efficient human auditory models for loudness estimation have been studied in this thesis. Existing algorithms for reducing computations in auditory pattern and loudness estimation have been examined and improved algorithms have been proposed to overcome limitations of these methods. In addition, real-time applications such as perceptual loudness estimation and loudness equalization using auditory models have also been implemented. A software implementation of loudness estimation on iOS devices is also reported in this thesis. In addition to the loudness estimation algorithms and software, in this thesis project we also created new illustrations of speech and audio processing concepts for research and education. As a result, a new suite of speech/audio DSP functions was developed and integrated as part of the award-winning educational iOS App 'iJDSP.” These functions are described in detail in this thesis. Several enhancements in the architecture of the application have also been introduced for providing the supporting framework for speech/audio processing.
