7.Speech Synthesis of Emotions in a Sentence using Vowel Features
Rintaro Makino, Yasunari Yoshitomi, Taro Asada, Masayoshi Tabuse
Pages: 107 - 110
We previously proposed a method for adding emotions to synthetic speech using the vowel features of a speaker. For the initial investigation in this earlier study, we used utterances of Japanese names to demonstrate the method. In the present study, we use the proposed method to construct emotional synthetic...

8.X-means Clustering for Wireless Sensor Networks
Abdelrahman Radwan, Nazhatul Kamarudin, Mahmud Iwan Solihin, Hungyang Leong, Mohamed Rizon, Hazry Desa, Muhammad Azizi Bin Azizan
Pages: 111 - 115
K-means clustering algorithms of wireless sensor networks are potential solutions that prolong the network lifetime. However, limitations hamper these algorithms, where they depend on a deterministic K-value and random centroids to cluster their networks. But, a bad choice of the K-value and centroid...

9.Crowd Counting Network with Self-attention Distillation
Yaoyao Li, Li Wang, Huailin Zhao, Zhen Nie
Pages: 116 - 120
Context information is essential for crowd counting network to estimate crowd numbers, especially in the congested scene accurately. However, shallow layers of common crowd counting networks (i.e., congested scene recognition network) do not own large receptive filed so that they can’t efficiently utilize...

12.A Design Method of Generalized Predictive Control Systems in Consideration of Noise
Akira Yanou
Pages: 129 - 132
Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) is one of the model-based control methods. The control law is derived by minimizing performance index, which includes the squares of control input and the squares of the error between reference signal and output prediction, in order to make the derived control system...

15.Method of Extracting Sensibility from Time Series Data and Converting it to Vibrotactile
Yasuhiro Suzuki
Pages: 142 - 145
We propose a method to convert sensory information into non-contact tactile sensation by vibrating of very low-frequency sound. The vibrator does not directly touch the object in a non-contact tactile sensation. Then, the object vibrates with the extremely low frequency. Previous research has shown that...
