Estimation of Fundamental Speech Frequency
Ráček, Tomáš ; Vlach, Jan (referee) ; Vondra, Martin (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis focuses on algorithms with respect to estimation of fundamental speech frequency. First part is introduce to the questions of speech signals and the thesis at this point gives a clue what the core is going to be about. In the second part the nature of speech signal is explained, as well as the process of it’s creation by a person and models for speech generation. In the chapter 3 processing of acoustic signals are described, where pre-processing, segmentation and application of Hamming window on the same acoustic speech signal are included. The next chapter reports on pitch speech frequency signal as a physical magnitude and it's derivation from the pitch period. Furthermore describes, fundamental frequency creation in speech organs, scale range for different people, properties that carries and finally possibilities of it’s usage. Chapter 5 deals with essential principles defining pitch speech frequency in time, frequency and cepstral domain. Chapter 6 contains description of principles, used in situations, where the speech signal is devalued by noise. In the next chapter author describes design and implementation of selected principle. Furthermore, author presents results that have been achieved with this specific principle and compares them to the results of ordinary autocorrelation principle. The final chapter summarises the thesis and discusses about possible further part, extension or improvement of the algorithm.

Subjective and Objective Assessment of Speech Quality
Bezdíček, Martin ; Balík, Miroslav (referee) ; Vondra, Martin (advisor)
This Bachelor's thesis is focused on subjective and objective methods for evaluation of speech quality. In the first part, the quality of transmitted speech signal and its distorting effects are given. Futher, subjective and objective methods for evaluation of speech are described. The objective methods: Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Segmental Signal to Noise Ratio (SSNR), the methods for evaluation in spectral area (Log Likelihood Ratio Measures and Cepstral Distance) and also Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ). The next part deals with the correlation analysis which is used for the comparison of subjective and objective methods. In the last part of the bachelor thesis the results of subjective and objective methods are presented. Finally on the basis of correlation analysis with the results of subjective method, the best objective method is recommended.

Analysis of marketing activites of leading Czech tennis players on social media from 2015 to 2020
Vondra, Martin ; Ježková, Tereza (advisor) ; Hrbáčková, Anna (referee)
The bachelor thesis describes marketing activities of selected Czech tennis players on social media in the years 2015-2020. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the introduction of basic theories. Describes the basic theories of marketing, sports marketing, online marketing and influencer marketing. In the chapter focused on sponsorship, the thesis deals with the basic definitions of sponsorship, its application in sports and specifically in tennis. The chapter focused on tennis marketing and sponsorship deals with the application of theoretical definitions to tennis as a sport. The thesis describes what ways of sports marketing appear in tennis and explains how they work. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is a quantitative content analysis of social media of selected Czech tennis players in meeting the objectives of the work. The research period is 2015-2020. The part is divided into five blocks, each block analyzes a selected tennis player and his three selected social networks Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The individual blocks describe the marketing activities of Czech tennis players on social networks and what products they promote. The results of this analysis are then applied to research questions and hypotheses and a conclusion is drawn.

GLOTTAL SIGNAL MODIFICATION FOR EMOTIONAL SPEECH SYNTHESIS
Vondra, Martin ; Vích, Robert
In the contribution speech decomposition into the source and vocal tract components is described. It is based on separation of the signal into the minimum- and maximum-phase speech components. Further the modification of the source speech component by changing the glottal model parameters is applied in order to achieve emotional speech by change of the neutral speech style

Complex Cepstrum in Speech Synthesi
Vondra, Martin ; Vích, Robert
In the contribution the use of the complex cepstrum in speech modeling and synthesis is shortly described. The obtained mixed phase parametric speech model is of the finite impulse response type and contains also information about the phase properties of the modeled speech frame. The synthesized speech is more natural, but the memory requirements and numerical complexity are much higher than for minimum phase realization.
