Neither a monocular RGB camera nor small-size microphone array is capable of accurate three-dimensional (3D) speaker localization. By taking advantage visual object detection, and audio-visual complementary sensor fusion, we formulate the localization problem as scaling factor estimation problem. As result, effectively reduce traditional audio-only 3D from an exhaustive grid search to one-dimen...

In this work we extend the test utterance adaptation technique used in vocal tract length normalization to a larger number of speaker characteristic features. We perform partially joint estimation of four features: the VTLN warping factor, the corner position of the piece-wise linear warping function, spectral tilt in voiced segments, and model variance scaling. In experiments on the Swedish PF...

Introduction: Corrosion and scaling are important factors affecting drinking water quality, causing health and economic problems. This study aimed to investigate the indicators of corrosion and scaling in Rafsanjan drinking water. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in winter 2018 and spring 2019 in Rafsanjan. The 56 samples were randomly taken fr...

We discuss the dynamics of dilute and semidilute solutions of semirigid chains. The results can be applied to analyze recent light scattering experiments from solutions of actin filaments where an anomalous scaling of the dynamic structure factor was found. This anomalous scaling is explained as being due to anisotropic scaling of characteristic length scales parallel and perpendicular to a fil...

This paper studies an infinite-server queue in a Markov environment, that is, an infinite-server queue with arrival rates and service times depending on the state of a Markovian background process. Scaling the arrival rates λi by a factor N and the rate qij of the background process by a factor N, with α ∈ R, we establish a central limit theorem as N tends to ∞. We find different scaling regime...

In this paper we study scaling functions of a given regularity for arbitrary dilation factor q. We classify symmetric scaling functions and study the smoothness of some of them. We also introduce a new class of continuous symmetric scaling functions, the \Batman" functions, that have very small support. Their smoothness is established.

Wind tunnel to Atmospheric Mapping (WAM) is a methodology for scaling and testing a static aeroelastic wind tunnel model. The WAM procedure employs scaling laws to define a wind tunnel model and wind tunnel test points such that the static aeroelastic flight test data and wind tunnel data will be correlated throughout the test envelopes. This methodology extends the notion that a single test co...
