AbstractThis paper describes an architecture that can enhance a robot with the capability of performing automatic speech recognition even while the robot is moving. The system consists of three blocks: (1) a multi-channel noise reduction block comprising consequent stages of microphone-array-based sound localization, geometric source separa- tion and post filtering, (2) a single-channel template subtraction block and (3) a speech recognition block. In th...

AbstractIn this paper, we propose the application of standard decomposition approaches to find local correlations in multimodal data. In a test scenario, we apply these methods to correlate the local shape of turbine blades with their associated aerodynamic flow fields. We compare several decomposition algorithms, i.e., k-Means, Principal Component Analysis, Non-negative Matrix Factorization and Non-Negative Sparse Coding, with regards to their efficienc...

AbstractThe focus of this diploma thesis is set on the trajectory adaptation for robots with regard to dynamical changing situations. The existing system, which generates the movements of the robot by a batch-approach with sequential flow, is improved in such way that it becomes a system with a reactive behaviour. This work deploys the concepts of a predictive control, namely of the Receding Horizon Control (RHC). Thereby, a prediction horizon and optimi...

AbstractWe present a framework for estimating formant trajectories. Its focus is to achieve high robustness in noisy environments. Our approach combines a preprocessing based on functional principles of the human auditory system and a probabilistic tracking scheme. For enhancing the formant structure in spectrograms we use a Gammatone filterbank, a spectral preemphasis, as well as a spectral filtering using Difference-of-Gaussians (DoG) operators. Finall...

AbstractThe computation of stereoscopic depth is an important field of computer vision. Although a large variety of algorithms has been developed, the traditional correlation-based versions of these algorithms are prevalent. This is mainly due to easy implementation and handling but also to the linear computational complexity, as compared to more elaborated algorithms based on diffusion processes, graph-cut or bilateral filtering. In this paper, we intro...

AbstractNoise generated due to the motion of a robot is not desired, because it deteriorates the quality and intelligibility of the sounds recorded by robot-embedded microphones. It must be reduced or cancelled to achieve automatic speech recognition with a high performance. In this work, we divide ego-motion noise problem into three subdomains of arm, leg and head motion noise, depending on their complexity and intensity levels. We investigate methods t...
