It is well-known that early integration (also called data fusion) is effective when the
modalities are correlated, and late integration (also called decision or opinion fusion) is …

Sign languages comprise parallel aspects and use several modalities to form a sign but so
far it is not clear how to best combine these modalities in the context of statistical sign …

Cued speech is a visual mode of communication that uses handshapes and placements in
combination with the mouth movements of speech to make the phonemes of a spoken …

This article discusses the automatic recognition of Cued Speech in French based on hidden
Markov models (HMMs). Cued Speech is a visual mode which, by using hand shapes in …

Despite recent advances in vision-based gesture recognition, its applications remain largely
limited to artificially defined and well-articulated gesture signs used for human-computer …

Non-audible murmur (NAM) is an unvoiced speech signal that can be received through the
body tissue with the use of special acoustic sensors (ie, NAM microphones) attached behind …

This study focuses on automatic visual speech recognition in the presence of noise. The
authors show that, when speech is produced in noisy environments, articulatory changes …

The access to communication technologies has become essential for the handicapped
people. This study introduces the initial step of an automatic translation system able to …

The use of visual information in addition to acoustic can improve automatic speech
recognition. In this paper we compare different approaches for audio-visual information …

Speech is the most natural form of communication for human beings. However, in situations
where audio speech is not available because of disability or adverse environmental …
