The aim of the paper is to propose a feature fusion based Audio-Visual Speaker Identification (AVSI) system with varied conditions of illumination environments. Among the different fusion strategies, feature level fusion has been used for the proposed AVSI system where Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used for learning and classification. Since the feature set contains richer information about the raw biometric data than any other levels, integration at feature level is expected to provide better authentication results. In this paper, both Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and Linear Prediction Cepstral Coefficients (LPCCs) are combined to get the audio feature vectors and Active Shape Model (ASM) based appearance and shape facial features are concatenated to take the visual feature vectors. These combined audio and visual features are used for the feature-fusion. To reduce the dimension of the audio and visual feature vectors, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method is used. The VALID audio-visual database is used to measure the performance of the proposed system where four different illumination levels of lighting conditions are considered. Experimental results focus on the significance of the proposed audio-visual speaker identification system with various combinations of audio and visual features.

Illegal fishing has been a serious threat to the conservation of seafood resources and provoked the importance of marine surveillance. There are several types of fishing vessel monitoring systems operated by Republic of Korea, for example, Vessel Monitoring System(VMS), Automatic Identification System (AIS), V-Pass and VHF-DSC. However, those methods are not adaptable directly to fishing activity monitoring. The limitation requires more human resources to determine fishing status. Thus, this study proposes a method of estimating fishing activity from V-Pass, fishing vessel position reporting system, using Hidden Markov Model (HMM). HMM is a model to determine status through probability distribution for a sequence of time-series data. First of all, fishing activity status was labeled on V-Pass data. The distribution of speed on fishing activity was computed from the labeled data and HMM was constructed from the data obtained at Socheongcho Ocean Research Station (SORS). The model was first applied to the data of SORS for a test, and then Busan for validation. The model showed 99.4% and 89.6% as test and validation accuracy, respectively. It is concluded that the HMM can be applicable to predict a fishing activity from vessel tracks.

In this paper, an improved strategy for automated text based speaker identification scheme has been proposed. The identification process incorporates the Hidden Markov Model technique. After preprocessing the speech, HMM is used in the learning and identification. Features are extracted by different techniques such as RCC, MFCC, ΔMFCC, ΔΔMFCC, LPC and LPCC which is almost different in each case. The highest identification rate of 93% has been achieved in the close set text dependent speaker identification system. Keywords: Biometric Technologies; Automatic Speaker Identification; Cepstral Coefficients; Feature Extraction; Hidden Markov Model.

The article describes an implementing a real time speaker identification system by voice for embedded and general purpose computers. A review and analysis of existing speaker identification algorithms are made. The speaker's input speech is recorded in the system, go through the preprocessing stage, extract features and voice parameters for further identification. To recognize the speaker by voice parameters, the Vector quantization and Hidden Markov model algorithms are used. The VQ and HMM algorithms showed recognition accuracy of 96% and 98%, respectively.
