In this paper we present current mode, programmable, binary tree MIN/MAX filters designed for nonlinear data processing. Proposed circuits can be used in image filtration, to realize operations such as erosion or dilatation that are useful in noise reducti ...
This paper proposes a joint verification-localization structure based on split-band analysis of speech signal and the mixed voicing level. To address the problems in reverberant acoustic environments, a new fundamental frequency estimation algorithm is pro ...
In wireless portable applications, a large part of the signal processing is performed in the digital domain. Digital circuits show many advantages. The power consumption and fabrication costs are low even for high levels of complexity. A well established a ...
With a novel, less classical approach to the subject, the authors have written a book with the conviction that signal processing should be taught to be fun. The threatment is therefore less focused on the mathematics and more on the conceptual aspects, the ...
Whenever the speech signal is captured by a microphone distant from the user, the acoustic response of the room introduces significant distortions. To remove these distortions from the signal, solutions exist that greatly improve the ASR performance (what ...
This paper reports a study on short-time subharmonic pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration, which are found to be a common feature of the human voice in spoken language. The observed pitch breaks correspond to a change in periodicity of the electrolaryngogr ...
We consider large sensor networks where the cost of collecting data from the network nodes to the data gathering sink is critical.~We propose several algorithms that use limited local communication and distributed signal processing to make communication mo ...
Integrated receiving circuit for radiofrequency signals comprising: an amplifying element (2) using the multiplication zone (5) of a reverse biased semiconductor junction (3, 4) operating in Geiger mode for amplifying an input radiofrequency signal (Vin) a ...
In a previous paper on speech recognition, we showed that templates can better capture the dynamics of speech signal compared to parametric models such as hidden Markov models. The key point in template matching approaches is finding the most similar templ ...
Coherent optical links enable high-density constellations and, consequently, a higher throughput. However, the phase noise associated with the transmitter and the receiver lasers is a challenging issue in coherent lightwave systems. The authors present an ...
