This chapter compares several different approaches to robust automatic speech recognition.
We review ongoing research in the use of acoustical pre-processing to achieve robust …

This paper proposes a microphone array system which realizes the following important
functions for speech recognition:(i) SNR improvement,(ii) flat spectrum response for an …

Most contemporary speech recognizers are designed to operate with close-talking speech
and they work best in a quiet laboratory condition. There is an apparent need to render …

This paper proposes space diversity speech recognition technique using distributed multi-
microphones in a room, as a new paradigm of speech recognition. The key technology to …

Photographing people in a dark room with a compact camera using a flash often results in
redeye. By scanning a photo effected by redeye into the computer, it is possible to digitally …

Environment-independent continuous speech recognition is important for the successful
development of speech recognizers in real world applications. Linear compensation …

With recent advance, state-of-the-art Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based speech
recognizers have achieved a high level of performance in controlled applications (such as …

In this paper, a robust distant talking speech recognition system for a home automation
system application is presented based on a microphone array. We use commands such as …
