The paper presents an approach to marking the boundaries of allophones in the speech signal based on the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm. Setting and marking of allophones boundaries in continuous speech is a difficult issue due to the mutual influence of adjacent phonemes on each other. It is this neighborhood on the one hand that creates variants of phonemes that is allophones, and on the other hand it affects that the border...

Artykuł dotyczy systemów rozpoznawania poleceń głosowych(RPG). Przedstawiono dwa podstawowe rodzaje systemów RPG i przeprowadzono dyskusję nad wyborem architektury odpowiedniej do zastosowań w przestrzeniach inteligentnych (PI). Zaprezentowano algorytm czasowego dopasowania sygnałów (ang. Dinamic Time Warping - DTW) oraz budowę elementu decyzyjnego zaimplementowanego systemu. Przedstawiono wyniki oceny tego systemu.

This article attempts to reflect on the consequences of cultural globalization i.e. the opporturnities and threats that exist it brings with it for existing local cultures. As we know, The processes of globalization contribute to the emergence of any, often contradictory phenomena in the field of culture which influence the existing local cultural systems in various ways. It is assumed that the most important consequence of cultural...

The handwritten signature verification system being a part of the developed multimodal biometric banking stand is presented. The hardware component of the solution is described with a focus on the signature acquisition and on verification procedures. The signature is acquired employing an accelerometer and a gyroscope built-in the biometric pen plus pressure sensors for the assessment of the proper pen grip and then the signature...
