Development of a Hindi Version of Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V)
… a Hindi version of the Consensus of Auditory Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V), a tool for speech language pathologists to assess voice quality and degree of hoarseness. The Hindi version of the CAPE-V will be vital in voice assessments conducted in India and across the world for Hindi …

Development, perceptual evaluation, and acoustic analysis of amplitude-based F0 control in Electrolarynx speech
… for calculating F0 contours for EL speech, and perceptual experiments and acoustic analyses were conducted to examine the impact of F0 modulation on the quality and prosodic function of the EL speech. The results of perceptual experiments showed that modulating the F0 of EL speech using a linear …

Reliability Of The Concensus Auditory-perceptual Evaluation Of Voice On Pediatric Voices With Trained And Untrained Listeners
… perception. The Consensus Auditory Perception Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) was used to asses 1.) overall severity, 2.) roughness, 3.) breathiness, 4.) strain, 5.) pitch and 6.) loudness from a sample of pediatric voices. Twenty-four graduate clinicians who had completed a graduate level course …

Sparse representation for audio noise removal using zero-zone quantizers
… performance in terms of noise removal. PEAQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Audio Quality) scores have been used to measure the objective quality of the denoised signal.

Objective assessment of audio quality using an auditory processing model
… thesis, a novel computational method for the perceptual evaluation of quality differences between audio signals is presented. The core of this method is the computer model of the "effective" signal processing in the auditory system by Dau et al. (1997) which is employed to transform acoustic …

Listening and Musical Composition: Spectromorphological Analysis of Enfilade: Lamento-Cambiata
… of the analysis, which is concerned with the perceptual evaluation of the sounding result. Both levels are informed by the recent research on auditive analysis and spectromorphological categorizations of timbre and gesture. In this respect, a detailed spectromorphological analysis of the piece …

Research on objective speech quality measurements
… Modified Bark Spectral Distortion (EMBSD) and Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) were included in this study. The scope of the study covers the evaluation of EMBSD and PESQ in predicting subjective results from Mean Opinion Score (MOS) tests; an extension of PESQ to handle wideband …

CONTRIBUTIONS OF A COMPELLED-RESPONSE PARADIGM TO THE ANTISACCADE TASK FOR PARSING PERCEPTION, MOTOR PLANNING, AND COGNITION IN HUMANS
… the compelled saccade task, which dissociates perceptual evaluation and motor-planning phases of decision-making. The marriage of these two tasks, the compelled antisaccade (CAS) task, allows further parsing of cognition from the decision-making process. The compelled constraints of the CAS …

Optimizing acoustic and perceptual assessment of voice quality in children with vocal nodules
… based on the standardized Consensus Auditory Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) used to evaluate adult voices. Adult and pediatric versions of the CAPE-V protocols were used to gather recordings of vowels and sentences from adult females and children (4-6 and 8-10 year olds) with normal …

Subjective and objective screening measures for dysphonia pre-thyroidectomy
… potential cases of dysphonia for a full voice evaluation before the surgery. Eleven patients were included in this study. Each patient was a candidate for thyroidectomy and elected to have the procedure performed by Dr. Walter E. Pofahl, the cooperative surgeon for this study. For each patient, …

The creation of a binaural spatialization tool
… conversion tools. • The performance of a perceptual evaluation stage to verify the effectiveness, realism, and quality of the techniques developed, and • The application and use of the developed tools within both scientific and artistic “case studies”. In the following chapters, sections, …

Biologically plausible energy-efficient context-sensitive neural networks
… point neuron-inspired DCN in terms of perceptual evaluation of speech (PESQ) and short-time objective intelligibility (STOI). This research shows that the two-point neuron-driven DCN performs comparable to point-neuron DCN. However, the twopoint neuron uses up to 7 times fewer neurons. …

A novel non-intrusive objective method to predict voice quality of service in LTE networks.
… therefore, objective methods such as Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) were developed to address these limitations. These objective methods have a high correlation with subjective MOS scores. However, they either require individual calculation of many network parameters or …

Locally appropriate sustainable urban form: the case of Sukhumvit Superblock
… of a location, methods of physical evaluation in relation to sustainable urban form and methods of perceptual evaluation in relation to acceptable sustainable urban form were devised. The establishment of global indicators and the modification of local indicators were substantial in …

PRODUCTION AND PERCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF SPEECH PRODUCED IN NOISE
… and temporal characteristics, and explores the perceptual consequence of these changes. The thesis consists of a series of experimental studies, which involve the analysis of speech corpora collected under different noise conditions, with and without a communicative task. Intelligibility is also …

The evaluation of second language fluency and foreign accent
… of fluency and foreign accent. The findings of perceptual ratings showed that the disfluency rating highly correlated with the vocabulary score and vocabulary size in L2 production. This suggests that L2 fluency relates to the lack of vocabulary. The perception of accent correlated well with the …

Zpracování obrazu s vysokým dynamickým rozsahem (HDR)
Táto bakalárska práca sa zaoberá temporálnym mapovaním tonality pre HDR video. Pri konverzii videa s vysokým dynamickým rozsahom na štandardný dynamický rozsah vznikajú temporálne artefakty, ako sú flickering, ghosting či náhle zmeny jasu, ktoré narúšajú plynulosť videozáznamu. Práca analyzuje …
