A revealing illustration of the issue of standardization can best be demonstrated by giving the Arabic translation of the English word mobile. The translation of this word into Arabic is an implication, to a certain degree, of non-uniformity in the Arabic language.
In this study, the problem of feature extraction by scale-space methods is addressed. The modeling of image acquisition, image interporation and scale-space smoothing is discussed, with particular emphasis on the influence of random errors and the interplay between the discrete and continuous representations. In doing so, new results are given on the stochastic properties of discrete and continuou
The present paper examines listeners’ ability to judge speaker age from stimuli consisting of phonated isolated words, and also suggests subdivision (categorisation) of voices into typical and atypical groups, depending on the listeners’ age estimating abilities.
