Close-talk headset microphones have been traditionally used for speech acquisition in a number of applications, as they naturally provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio -needed for recognition tasks- than single distant microphones. However, in multi-party ...

Accurate speaker location is essential for optimal performance of distant speech acquisition systems using microphone array techniques. However, to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive studies on the degradation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) ...
Despite many good (secure) key agreement protocols based on public-key cryptography exist, secure associations between two wireless devices are often established using symmetric-key cryptography for cost reasons. The consequence is that common daily used s ...
In this paper, we present a robust speech acquisition system to acquire continuous speech using a microphone array. A microphone array based speech recognition system is also presented to study the environmental interference due to reverberation, backgroun ...
The recognition of speech in meetings poses a number of challenges to current Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) techniques. Meetings typically take place in rooms with non-ideal acoustic conditions and significant background noise, and may contain large s ...
In this paper we describe the acquisition and content of a new large, realistic and challenging multi-modal database intended for training and testing multi-modal verification systems. The BANCA database was captured in four European languages in two modal ...
This paper studies the problem of sound source localization in a distributed wireless sensor network formed by mobile general pur- pose computing and communication devices with audio I/O capa- bilities. In contrast to well understood localization methods b ...
There is an important trend toward personal mobile communications. People use more and more handheld devices to keep in touch with friends or business partners. One possible way to connect these devices is provided by wireless radio technologies. The emerg ...
This paper presents an effective implementation of detection-localization of multiple speech sources with microphone arrays. In particular, the Scaled Conjugate Gradient descent is used for fast and precise localization, within a pre-detected volume of spa ...
