    摘要: A filter such as a Wiener filter for noise reduction in a signal, such as a speech signal, affected by background noise includes a circuit for determining values of an update function relating new value of estimated noise power to a previous value of estimated noise power, the update function being a function of said previous estimated noise power and a mean input power spectral density. The circuit includes a look-up table having values for the update function stored therein with the previous value of estimated noise power and the mean input power spectral density as a first and a second search entry, respectively. These search entries are entered via an input module and exploited by search circuitry associated with the look-up table for selectively searching values for the update function in the look-up table. The search is preferably carried out on the basis of an index computed starting from said first and second search entries.

    摘要: An automated emotional recognition system includes an emotional state classifier adapted to receive, during an operative phase, an input information stream with embedded information related to emotional states of a person, and to generate a succession of emotional state indications derived from the input information stream. The emotional recognition system further includes a post-processing function, configured to receive at least two emotional state indications of the succession and, for each of said at least two emotional state indications, determine a corresponding emotional state representation in an emotional state representation system. The post-processing function is further configured to combine the emotional state representations of the at least two emotional state indications to obtain an output emotional state indication.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a module 50 for generating integrated decoding circuits for use, in particular, in turbo devices, to the method for defining the characteristics of and generating convolutional decoding circuits, and to the circuit that can be obtained with said module 50. The module 50 is parametric and, thanks to this feature, makes it possible to generate decoding circuits having different performance characteristics which are such that they can be used in turbo devices employing different decoding modes and different architectures. In addition, the module 50 makes it possible to generate decoding circuits whose distinguishing feature is that they can manage a plurality of generator polynomials selectively and can thus also be used in asymmetrical turbo devices.
