"Can you hear me now?" : Automatic assessment of background noise intrusiveness and speech intelligibility in telecommunications

Raphaël Marc Ullmann

This thesis deals with signal-based methods that predict how listeners perceive speech quality in telecommunications. Such tools, called objective quality measures, are of great interest in the telecommunications industry to evaluate how new or deployed sy ...

Modulation Frequency Features For Phoneme Recognition In Noisy Speech

Hynek Hermansky, Sriram Ganapathy

In this letter, a new feature extraction technique based on modulation spectrum derived from syllable-length segments of sub-band temporal envelopes is proposed. These sub-band envelopes are derived from auto-regressive modelling of Hilbert envelopes of th ...

Life cycle assessment of mobile telephone networks, with focus on the end-of-life phase

Wolfram Scharnhorst

Mobile communication, in particular mobile telephony, is a service whose nonexistence nowadays is unimaginable. The ongoing, ever increasing penetration of mobile communication equipment, presently intensified by the transition from second generation1 to t ...

Joint source-channel coding with feedback

Raja Manakkal

Communications is about conveying information from one point to another subject to certain performance constraints. The information is assumed to be generated by a source and may, for example, represent a voice waveform, the reading of a thermal sensor, or ...

Aural and automatic forensic speaker recognition in mismatched conditions

Andrzej Drygajlo, Anil Alexander

In this article, we compare aural and automatic speaker recognition in the context of forensic analyses, using a Bayesian framework for the interpretation of evidence. We use perceptual tests performed by non-experts and compare their performance with that ...
