This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
The initialisation of segmentation methods aiming at the localisation of biological structures in medical imagery is frequently regarded as a given precondition. In practice, howev...
Recent efforts attempt to combine together information of different passive methods. Critical issues in this research are the choice of data and how to combine such data in order ...
To accommodate applications with highly variable degrees and categories of Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, a major effort has been invested to overcome the traditional best-...
With the advent of sketch-based methods for shape construction, there's a new degree of power available in the rapid creation of approximate shapes. Sketch [Zeleznik, 1996] s...
