Programming exercises: Submission deadline 23:59, 12 Oct 2014, send to cmsc5707.14@. Use MATLAB , OCTAVE[1] or any programming environments you prefer. Write your own code; do not use any library functions such as FFT or autocorrelation for all parts except the part “Build a speech recognition system.”, where you may use any Matlab /Octave functions you like. (5%) Recording of the templates: Use your own sound recording device (e.g. mobile phone, windows-sound-recorder or /) to record the numbers 1,2,3,4 and name these files as s1A.wav, s2A.wav, s3A.wav and s4A.wav, respectively. Each word should last about 0.6(0.8 seconds and use / to convert your file to .wav if necessary. (You may choose English or Cantonese or Mandarin to pronounce these words). These four files are called set A to be used as templates of our speech recognition system. You may use any sampling rate (Fs) and bits per second (bps) value. However, typical values are Fs=22050 Hz (or lower) and bps=16 bits per second. (5%) Recording for the testing data: Repeat the above recording procedures of the same four numbers: 1, 2, 3 and 4, and save the four files as : s1B.wav, s2B.wav, s3B.wav and s4B.wav , respectively. They are to be used as testing data in our speech recognition system. (5%) Plotting: Pick one wav file out of your sound files (e.g. x.wav), read the file and plot the time domain signal. (Hint: you may use “wavread”, “plot” in MATLAB or OCTAVE. Type “help wavread” , “help plot” in MATLAB to learn how to use them.) Plot x.wav and save it in a picture file “x.jpg”. (35%) Signal analysis: From “x.wav”, write a program to find the start (T1) and stop (T2) locations in time (ms) of your four recorded sounds automatically. Extract one segment called Seg1 (20 ms of your choice of location) of the voiced vowel part of x.wav between T1 and T2. Seg1 can be saved as an array in C++ or a vector in MATLAB / OCTAVE . You may choose the segment by manual inspection and hardcode the locations in you
