In this study, it was intended to investigate the Persian native speakers’ perception of gerunds by three different elicitation techniques i.e., written, audio, and pictorial through translation. Eighty intermediate learners of English were asked to select Persian translation of the gerund formsin these elicitation techniques. They were asked to choose one option from a pair of written first la...

Occupancy detection, including presence detection and head count, as one of the fast growing areas plays an important role in providing safety, comfort and reducing energy consumption both in residential and commercial setups. The focus of this study is proposing affordable strategies to increase occupancy detection performance in realistic scenarios using only audio signal collected from the e...

Localization performance and spatial hearing abilities of blind persons are complex issues. In everyday life we rely on the “fact” that blind people can hear better, without thinking of what “better” means. Localization performance depends on many parameters such as properties of the excitation signal, environmental conditions, individual aspects, and visual influence. Our goal was to create a ...

This paper presents a real-time beat-tracking method that integrates audio and visual information in a probabilistic manner to enable a humanoid robot to dance in synchronization with music and human dancers. Most conventional music robots have focused on either music audio signals or movements of human dancers to detect and predict beat times in real time. Since a robot needs to record music a...

Analysis of audio and musical information signals deals with the decomposition into atoms. This subject is most interesting and useful for the researchers who want to invent the inherent properties of the signal under decomposition and to construct a new version of it. Many algorithms have been proposed for the decomposition of audio and musical content and methodologies have been demonstrated ...
