Several authors have presented systems that estimate the audio similarity of two pieces of music through the calculation of a distance metric, such as the Euclidean distance, between spectral features calculated from the audio, related to the timbre or pitch of the signal. These features can be augmented with other, temporally or rhythmically based features such as zero-crossing rates, beat his...

In this paper we propose an algorithm for the robust extraction of pitch combining both temporal (rate) and pattern matching (place) techniques. Following a transformation into the spectral domain via the application of a Gammatone filter bank the rate information is extracted in each band via the zero crossing distances in that band. Next a comb filter with teeth at the harmonics of the curren...

The proposed method involves Zero order derivative and First order derivative spectroscopy method. A novel, simple and rapid UV Spectrophotometric determination method for Simultaneous estimation of Triamterene and Benzthiazide was successfully developed and validated in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation. First method is zero order derivative method where the solutions were scanned in the ran...

Content Based Audio Retrieval system is very helpful to facilitate users to find the target audio materials. Audio signals are classified into speech, music, several types of environmental sounds and silence based on audio content analysis. The extracted audio features include temporal curves of the average zero-crossing rate, the spectral Centroid, the spectral flux, as well as spectral roll-o...

In this paper, using a suitable model for the distribution of the incoming waves at the mobile unit antenna (i.e. scattering distribution), two simulators for a typical mobile communication channel with non-isotropic scattering are proposed. In the proposed simulators, the directivity of the incoming waves can be changed quantitatively. These simulators have applications, for instance, in desig...

We propose a relative estimation method for subjective age, imaged by ourselves, using peoples' facial images and their chronological (real) age. We experimented with a rating scale for facial images which stimulated subjects. The subject evaluated an image as looking older than themselves with uncertainties. Finding the average values of the rating, the zero crossing point in the approximate l...

This paper concerns the robustness of local phase information for measuring image velocity and binoc ular disparity It addresses the dependence of phase behaviour on the initial lters as well as the image variations that exist between di erent views of a d scene We are particularly interested in the stabil ity of phase with respect to geometric deformations and its linearity as a function of sp...

Solving discrete ill-posed problems via Tikhonov regularization introduces the problem of determining a regularization parameter. There are several methods available for choosing such a parameter, yet, in general, the uniqueness of this choice is an open question. Two empirical methods for determining a regularization parameter (which appear in the biomedical engineering literature) are the com...
