Text To Speech

I've seen TTS tech before but still not find what I like. The TTS system you can imagine everytime that you will listen the boarding gate message when you are at airport terminal. The reminding messages generated from thus TTS systtem boardcasting. So here I find a China company called ANHUI USTC iFLYTEK Co., Ltd. I still search that beautiful female voice messages like airport broadcasting in Taiwan. If someone knows this system, for example, who produces this system? Is there any vendors related to this in Taiwan? or Any high level voice chip vendor, please let me know. I am not searching the game voice broadcasting one.

Fingerprint Sensor

I am searching those fingerprint sensors that I can use it by implementing my project before. The question is that I used a 256x256 grey scale sensor with bmp file captured before. This is not a new tech now. I just want to explore those software or digital signal inside of techs. Some issues I need to solve them before I implement it by linux program:
a) translate Matlab again into C++ codes
b) apply dsp tool kit especially fft and convolution to implement matlab codes
c) find a hardware platform for this basic dsp and also can accept directly digital format like CCIR-656 from fingerprint sensor
d) linux learning
e) etc

Gesture Recognition / Microsoft's project Natal

You must see this news about Project Natal. It's really cool. But actually it has been developed for more than 20 years in the universities. Of course we're expecting the famous companies can make this come true into current life. The New York Times has a report and video for this. Also this application can be promoted like this. It's incredible for future shopping. And also if you want to know that how this techs can be brought into game world. You can visit http://www.natalxbox360.com/ to know all of those news around.

Gesture Recognition / 姿勢識別

Regarding to gesture recognition technology, can be found here; the application of this technology will be launched in the next wave of Wii-like or the iPhone-like ; I recommend you would like to know the application of such technology can be to search for MIT's CSAIL. Will be able to find a the latest applied research. Of course, the wiki search is the fastest way! Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesture_recognition, the application of this one example is The Future of Shopping. I personally think that the future of these can be done:
a) small-scale teaching platform for the establishment of an interactive curriculumb) medical rehabilitation platformc) large-scale interactive gamed) Any athlete with the physical posture correction for power between the best performance tuning tutoriale) trading platform for interactive shopping

Too many ~ ~, thinking of all think that the future of science and technology life is very incomprehensible!!!

關於姿勢識別的技術, 可以參考這裡; 這項技術的應用在未來定會掀起一波 Wii 或 iPhone 般的浪潮; 我推薦大家想知道這類技術的應用, 可以至 MIT 的 CSAIL 搜尋. 一定可以找到最新的應用研究.
當然上 wiki 查是最快的囉 ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesture_recognition  , 這個的應用其中的一個例子就是 The Future of Shopping. 我個人認為以後這些可以做 :
a) 小型教學互動式課程平台建立
b) 醫療復健平台
c) 大型互動遊戲機
d) 任何運動員姿勢矯正與物理作功間的最佳效能調整教程
e) 互動式購物交易平台
很多吧~~, 想到都覺得未來的科技生活很不可思議吧

The Future of Shopping

This kind of tech you can see here to know how this could be implemented.

Fingerprint Recognition System

What led me to start to discover the field of Digital Image Processing? I think, strictly speaking, since undergraduate subject started. I was been thinking that many basic courses I studied like Advanced Engineering Mathematics, Signal and Linear System, Linear Algebra, Elements of Engineering Probability & Statistics, Communication System and Engineering Electromagnetics. What do those used for? What important role do they apply to? I was wondering, so tried to search which field I would involve in among them. When the first semester went over, Jaskey talked me we can ask Dr. Lo for subject consultation. Dr. Lo proposed many fields we can take consideration. So we chose this and every thing just happened smoothly. And I realized those courses are the base. Each of them cannot be lacked.

I hope use this subject to be as a milestone to remember those teachers Ph.D. Rong-Chin Lo, Ph.D. Shing-Chern You and so on. Hope this can explore my discovery travel.

This subject concludes previous courses which play different roles as follow: 
Software：Sectorization, Normalization, Gabor Filterization, Variance Calculation, Matching 

Hardware：scanning

Theory：Feature Extraction, Matching, Statistics 

DSP：2D Convolution, Gabor Filters, Variance(Statistics)

Matlab：For proof of concept before implementation.

 

  

  

You can easily know this tech. I may keep updating this if have time. 

Basically I posted this is to let anybody who wants to know the gabor filter implemented to computer science, so this is just am example for fingerprint recognition. 

If you google the key words "cheng long adam wang fingerprint recognition system", you will find a lot of this, I posted this on the google for link firstly in the end of 2002, now there's a lot of people use it, I thought I got those knowledge from internet, then did a GUI program on Matlab; so just feedback to internet again. Someone has developed to a new one and based on my first version of GUI program and started to sell it couples years ago; I really don't like such a way. I hope here even if someone you want to get the source codes for your project, but please just respect all the contribution of spreading computer science conceipts not business thinking. Because one day you can find the truth back in the internet.
