替一個日本同事發(fā)帖,具體他的研究方向如下,感興趣的可以把CV發(fā)我(l.tang@auckland.ac.nz) 或者直接聯(lián)系他本人(y.hioka@auckland.ac.nz): Descriptions of current research projects Dr. Yusuke Hioka, Senior Lecturer Acoustics Research Centre, University of Auckland 1. Investigating effect of noise and room acoustics on the speech intelligibility of non-native listeners Intelligibility of speech is challenged by adverse conditions including the clarity of the speakers’ pronunciation, environmental noise, and whether or not the listener is a non-native listener. Combination of these conditions make these problems worse; it severely affects the quality of verbal communication. This is a significant issue in today’s world where over half of the world population is multi-lingual. Despite that fact, the comprehension ability of non-native listeners immersed in a noisy environment is not well understood. To improve communication, we will reveal and quantify how the ambient acoustic environment of a listener affects the understanding of non-native listeners at different level of proficiency compared to that of native listeners by conducting subjective listening tests. Ultimate goal of this project is to establish solid guidelines of room acoustics as well as audio signal processing for helping non-native listeners have better communication experiences. 2. Speech enhancement for vulnerable listeners Speech enhancement is an area that has been actively studied for many decades. Although various speech enhancement algorithms have been invented, only a little attention has been paid to the ability of the listeners of the enhanced speech; namely most state of the art techniques target at listeners with normal hearing who are the native speaker of the language spoken. This project will focus on developing novel speech enhancement algorithms for vulnerable listeners who are disadvantaged by their hearing ability and/or the proficiency of the language spoken. 3. Localisation of bird calls in NZ bush Have you ever spotted kiwi birds in NZ bush? Can you imagine how many of them are living in a forest? It is actually quite rare that you come across birds like kiwis because of their declining population and nocturnal lifestyle. Therefore it is a quite challenging task for the rangers and researchers to study the ecology of such birds without actually staying in a forest for weeks and months. The DOC (Department of Conservation) has been attempting to identify bird calls from audio recordings collected in a forest however so far this has been done completely manually (hiring people and get them to literally "listen and identify" bird calls) which is not cost effective and the results can also be inaccurate. Recently the DOC called a group of researchers around NZ (known as AviaNZ; https://www.avianz.net/) to develop an automated system to identify bird calls as well as measuring abundance of species. Yusuke Hioka is a part of the group in charge of extracting various acoustic information from the recording. In this project we focus on localising bird calls (i.e. extracting "location" of birds from recordings) using digital signal processing with microphone arrays (i.e. array of more than one microphones). 4. High quality sound recording and source localisation using unmanned aerial vehicles Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently gained huge popularity across a wide range of applications, including filming, search and rescue, and surveillance. Such applications take advantage of capturing visual information (i.e. video and imagery) that are otherwise impossible without making use of UAVs. On the other hand, audio signals are also one that should not be overlooked. It is common to encounter environments that are often remote and harsh, which can easily render visual information unusable. This is not the case with audio. However, audio recording using UAVs have shown to be challenging due to the high noise levels radiated from the UAV rotors. This significantly affects the quality of the audio signals to aid with any application. The problem has been tackled by the Acoustics Research Centre (ARC), UoA, for which a UAV system with quiet rotors, equipped with an array of microphones and a signal processing algorithm, was developed to effectively record desired audio in-flight while removing the UAV rotor noise. Recently, a method based on machine learning was used to explore possibilities of predicting UAV rotor noise with a hybrid of microphone and non-acoustical information. However, a common problem with such data-driven system is the lack of transparency between the inputs and the result it produces. To this end, studies have been made to unravel these ambiguities with the help of analytical modelling. This project will focus on incorporating these analytical findings to optimise the current signal processing algorithm. 5. Design of real-time speech masking system Speech masking is a technique being used to hide confidential information in a target speech where a jammer sound (i.e. masker) is played to hinder understanding by the human auditory system. Since the maskers could cause annoyance for listeners, the proposed research will identify a novel design of maskers that will NOT cause any psychological disruptions to the listeners while maintaining its masking performance. A signal processing algorithm for creating a masker, which is grounded on the expertise in acoustics, linguistics, and audiology will be developed and tested through subjective listening tests.
