16 Apr 2008TL;DR: A new FPGA implementation for adaptive median filters is proposed which exhibits the adaptive median filter which utilizes filtering window 7x7 pixels and can suppress shot noise with intensity up to 60%.
Abstract: A new FPGA implementation for adaptive median filters is proposed. Adaptive median filters exhibit better filtering properties than standard median filters; however, their implementation cost is higher. Proposed architecture was optimized for throughput allowing 300 M pixels to be filtered per second. The best performance/cost ratio exhibits the adaptive median filter which utilizes filtering window 7x7 pixels and can suppress shot noise with intensity up to 60%. In addition to filtering, adaptive median filters can be also used as detectors of corrupted pixels (detection statistics).

TL;DR: The Zero Resource Speech Challenge 2019 as discussed by the authors proposed to build a speech synthesizer without any text or phonetic labels, hence, TTS without T (text-to-speech without text), which provided raw audio for a target voice in an unknown language (the Voice dataset), but no alignment, text or labels.
Abstract: We present the Zero Resource Speech Challenge 2019, which proposes to build a speech synthesizer without any text or phonetic labels: hence, TTS without T (text-to-speech without text). We provide raw audio for a target voice in an unknown language (the Voice dataset), but no alignment, text or labels. Participants must discover subword units in an unsupervised way (using the Unit Discovery dataset) and align them to the voice recordings in a way that works best for the purpose of synthesizing novel utterances from novel speakers, similar to the target speaker's voice. We describe the metrics used for evaluation, a baseline system consisting of unsupervised subword unit discovery plus a standard TTS system, and a topline TTS using gold phoneme transcriptions. We present an overview of the 19 submitted systems from 10 teams and discuss the main results.

TL;DR: Owing to the intra-regional trade of goods and services, APAC economies grew increasingly interdependent in each other’s water and energy use, greenhouse gas and PM2.5 emissions, and labor and economic productivity, while the environmental and economic disparity widened within the region.
Abstract: Asia-Pacific (APAC) has been the world’s most dynamic emerging area of economic development and trade in recent decades. Here, we reveal the significant and imbalanced environmental and socio-economic effects of the region’s growths during 1995–2015. Owing to the intra-regional trade of goods and services, APAC economies grew increasingly interdependent in each other’s water and energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) and PM2.5 emissions, and labor and economic productivity, while the environmental and economic disparity widened within the region. Furthermore, our results highlight APAC’s significant role in globalization. By 2015, APAC was engaged in 50–71% of the virtual flows of water, energy, GHG, PM2.5, labor, and value added embodied in international trade. While the region’s final demand and trade grew less resource- and emissions-intensive, predominantly led by China’s transformations, APAC still lags behind global averages after two decades. More joint efforts of APAC economies and attention to sustainable transformation are needed.
