During the last years, the amount of multimedia content has greatly increased. This has multiplied the need of efficient compression of the content but also the ability to search...
A physical modeling approach is used to investigate playing effects in woodwind instruments. This builds upon prior work concerning both empirical studies of the acoustics of the ...
A key step in the process of lip-reading is determining the shape of the speaker’s lips. This has previously been achieved through an energy method known as “snakes”, howeve...
Query-by-tapping systems are content-based music retrieval systems that allow users to tap or clap in a microphone the rhythmic pattern of the melody requested. In this paper, a n...
In this paper, we propose a Bayesian model and a Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) algorithm for reconstructing images that consist of only few non-zero pixels. An appropriate distr...

Current audio coding standards employ the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) where overlapped frames of audio are windowed and transformed to the frequency domain. Encodin...
The minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer can be used for both speech dereverberation and noise reduction. In this paper we analyse the tradeoff between the a...
