• Title

  Robust Speaker Verification
  Summary

  Biometrics involves the use of intrinsic physical or behavioural traits of humans to verify their identity. Traits used in biometrics typically include face, fingerprints, hand geometry, handwriting, iris, retinal, vein, and voice. Many are concerned that these technologies are potentially invasive and open to fraud. Speaker verification, using voice or voice and video, has been recognised as an important alternative in the world of biometrics. It is less invasive and requires less expensive installations that iris and fingerprint authentication systems. The changes that occur in the human voice due to ageing have been well documented. The impact of these changes on speaker verification is less clear. In this work, we examine the effect of long-term vocal ageing on a speaker verification systems.

  Audio-Visual Fusion for Human Computer Interaction.
  Summary

  This project will thus focus on key challenges in Audio Visual Speech Recognition: . Given state of the art audio and visual features, do early or late integration strategies work better? . How well does such an integration scheme translate to less controlled situations, where the speech is less constrained, intonation or prosody is more natural, or the speech is emotionally influenced? . Can these algorithms work on a real handheld device?

  Dynamic Visual Features and Improved Audio-Visual Fusion for Automatic Speech Recognition
  Summary

  Human speech is bimodal in nature. Incorporating visual features in Automatic Speech Recognition systems can improve performance in real environments. This work addresses core challenges in audio-visual speech recognition. It will develop new dynamic visual features that better capture the correlations in key mouth movements used by humans in lipreading. This is crucial in improving Hidden Markov Model performance. It will explore a new audio-fusion strategy motivated by the differing visibility of visemes allowing the influence of the audio and video stream to change over time.
