Stable distributions for feature extraction from speech signals
Mžourek, Z.
The aim of this paper is to introduce class of stable distributions as a potentional tool for statistical modelling of features extracted from speech signals. Alpha-stable distributions are generalization of the Gaussian distribution therefore they can be used in modeling of more variety of different problems. It is described why can stable distributions be useful in speech processing and potential useful applications are proposed for feature extractions and reduction.

Coupling of images
Gorgol, Martin ; Petyovský, Petr (referee) ; Richter, Miloslav (advisor)
This master’s thesis describes the design and implementation of the application that created the basis set pieces "puzzle" according to the shape of the folded edges of the original image. This application is developed using Matlab. The work also describes how to create a database of actual pieces of the puzzle composite photo image. Closer was also focused on finding the characteristic section points, their segmentation and appropriate description. There is dismantled procedure for selecting the types of symptoms and their extraction. On the basis of suitably described pieces of segmented parts is designed and implemented the algorithm of comparing and grouping into clusters. Using the proposed method of visualization is then displayed in the resulting composite picture puzzle.

Face recognition in digital images
Hauser, Václav ; Přinosil, Jiří (referee) ; Říha, Kamil (advisor)
This master thesis deals with the detection and recognition of faces in the image. The content of this thesis is a description of methods that are used for the face detection and recognition. Method described in detail is the principal component analysis (PCA). This method is subsequently used in the implementation of face recognition in video sequence. In conjunction with the implementation work describes the OpenCV library package, which was used for implementation, specifically the C ++ API. Finally described application tests were done on two different video sequences.

Feature extraction from image data
Uher, Václav ; Beneš, Radek (referee) ; Burget, Radim (advisor)
Image processing is one area of signal analysis. This thesis is involved in feature extraction from image data and its implementation using Java programming language. The main contribution of this thesis lies in develop features extractors and their implementation in the program RapidMiner. The result is a robust tool for image analysis. The functionality of each operator is tested on mammogram images. A function model was developed for the removal of artifacts from the mammography images. The success rate of removal is comparable with other similar works. Furthermore, learning algorithms were compared on example detection of ventricle in ultrasound image.

Automatic Face Recognition in Real Environment
Kičina, Pavol ; Šmirg, Ondřej (referee) ; Přinosil, Jiří (advisor)
This master‘s thesis describes the identification faces in real terms. It includes an overview of current methods of detection faces by the classifiers. It also includes various methods for detecting faces. The second part is a description of two programs designed to identify persons. The first program operates in real time under laboratory conditions, where using web camera acquires images of user's face. This program is designed to speed recognition of persons. The second program has been working on static images, in real terms. The main essence of this method is successful recognition of persons, therefore the emphasis on computational complexity. The programs I used a staged method of PCA, LDA and kernel PCA (KPCA). The first program only works with the PCA method, which has good results with respect to the success and speed of recognition. In the second program to compare methods, which passed the best method for KPCA.

Identification of persons via voice imprint
Mekyska, Jiří ; Atassi, Hicham (referee) ; Smékal, Zdeněk (advisor)
This work deals with the text-dependent speaker recognition in systems, where just a few training samples exist. For the purpose of this recognition, the voice imprint based on different features (e.g. MFCC, PLP, ACW etc.) is proposed. At the beginning, there is described the way, how the speech signal is produced. Some speech characteristics important for speaker recognition are also mentioned. The next part of work deals with the speech signal analysis. There is mentioned the preprocessing and also the feature extraction methods. The following part describes the process of speaker recognition and mentions the evaluation of the used methods: speaker identification and verification. Last theoretically based part of work deals with the classifiers which are suitable for the text-dependent recognition. The classifiers based on fractional distances, dynamic time warping, dispersion matching and vector quantization are mentioned. This work continues by design and realization of system, which evaluates all described classifiers for voice imprint based on different features.

Detection of Logopaedic Defects in Speech
Pešek, Milan ; Smékal, Zdeněk (referee) ; Atassi, Hicham (advisor)
The thesis deals with a design and an implementation of software for a detection of logopaedia defects of speech. Due to the need of early logopaedia defects detecting, this software is aimed at a child’s age speaker. The introductory part describes the theory of speech realization, simulation of speech realization for numerical processing, phonetics, logopaedia and basic logopaedia defects of speech. There are also described used methods for feature extraction, for segmentation of words to speech sounds and for features classification into either correct or incorrect pronunciation class. In the next part of the thesis there are results of testing of selected methods presented. For logopaedia speech defects recognition algorithms are used in order to extract the features MFCC and PLP. The segmentation of words to speech sounds is performed on the base of Differential Function method. The extracted features of a sound are classified into either a correct or an incorrect pronunciation class with one of tested methods of pattern recognition. To classify the features, the k-NN, SVN, ANN, and GMM methods are tested.

Wavelet Based Feature Extraction for Clustering of Be Stars
Bromová, P. ; Škoda, Petr ; Zendulka, J.
The goal of our work is to create a feature extraction method for classification of Be stars. Be stars are characterized by prominent emission lines in their spectrum. We focus on the automated classification of Be stars based on typical shapes of their emission lines. We aim to design a reduced, specific set of features characterizing and discriminating the shapes of Be lines. In this paper, we present a feature extraction method based on the wavelet transform and its power spectrum. Both the discrete and continuous wavelet transform are used. Different feature vectors are created and compared on clustering of Be stars spectra from the archive of the Astronomical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The clustering is performed using the kmeans algorithm. The results of our method are promising and encouraging to more detailed analysis.
