One of the challenging and difficult problems under the category of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is to identify a singer of a given song under the strong influence of instrumental sounds. The performance of Singer Identification (SID) system is also severely affected by the quality of recording devices, transmission channels and singing voice(s) of other singer(s). We have proposed a large database...
One major obstacle to enterprise adoption of cloud technologies has been the lack of visibility into migration effort and cost. In this paper, we present a methodology, called Cloud Migration Point (CMP), for estimating the size of cloud migration projects, by recasting a well-known software size estimation model called Function Point (FP) into the context of cloud migration. We empirically evaluate...
In today's world, where terrorist attacks are on the rise, employment of infallible security systems is a must. Iris recognition enjoys universality, high degree of uniqueness and moderate user co-operation. This makes Iris recognition systems unavoidable in emerging security & authentication mechanisms. We propose an iris recognition system based on vector quantization. The proposed system does...
The availability of the Internet at the click of a mouse brings with it a host of new problems. Although the World Wide Web was first started by physicists at CERN to enable collation and exchange of data, today, it is used for a wide range of applications. The requirements on bandwidth for each of the applications is also varied. An Internet Service Provider must ensure satisfaction across the entire...
ART1 based clustering approach is used for classification, which groups fingerprints into more compact classes. ART1 is a efficient technique for grouping fingerprints in to N number of classes, which speedup the process of fingerprint recognition. After classification of fingerprints the keyfingerprint class is used for the purpose of fingerprint identification. The key-fingerprint is recognized...
This work investigates whether vocal emotion expressions of (i) discrete emotion be distinguished from `no-emotion' (i.e. neutral), (ii) one discrete emotion be distinguished from another, (iii) surprise, which is actually a cognitive component that could be present with any emotion, be also recognized as distinct emotion, (iv) discrete emotion be recognized cross-lingually. This study will enable...
E-Learning makes it possible for learners to study at any time. With the improvement of ubiquitous technologies and corresponding devices, learners can conduct their learning activities without any limitations from the environment. Instructors can utilize various kinds of resources to create more plentiful learning materials for learners. In this situation, instructors or learners have to spend more...
This paper proposes a new method of feature extraction for robust text-independent speaker identification. The focus of this work is on applications which yield higher identification accuracy without increasing the computational effort. The impetus for this new feature extraction technique comes from a new transformation. We have proposed this transform from speaker identification perspective. A complete...
The outdoor experience game could help learner to learn the course knowledge by interact with real world learning activities. In this paper, we proposed the Web based outdoor experience game-based learning system by using the geography information system (GIS), global position system (GPS), wireless and mobile technologies. The outdoor game-based learning system could help learner and instructor easily...
Content based copy detection (CBCD) emerges as a viable choice against active detection methodology of watermarking. The very first reason is that the media already under circulation cannot be marked and secondly, CBCD inherently can endure various severe attacks, which watermarking cannot. Although in general, media content is handled independently as visual and audio in this work both information...
Face image partially occluded or damaged can be repaired automatically. We proposed a new inpainting algorithm, based on patch guidance deduced from an existing face database, to recover the damaged portions. This newly proposed concept of guided inpainting method produces seamless faces which are hardly seen drawbacks. Examples of our results can be retrieved from http://member.mine.tku.edu.tw/www/ISCAS09/.
Content based copy detection is an alternative approach to invisible watermarking for tracking duplicate data. Primary stages are creating a database using the features belonging to the original data and searching query data in terms of its features in this database. Features must be robust against targeted attacks and discriminative enough to distinguish different content. In this work, we propose...
Computer assisted analysis of ECGs has recently experienced a remarkable revival due to its increased importance as biomarker in clinical trials. Especially 12-lead 24 h Holter-recording is nowadays routinely applied. But how accurate is the automatic computer analysis of 12 lead Holter recordings? While there are several data bases to evaluate the performance of 2-lead Holter algorithms, e.g., MIT-BIH,...
