Research Letters welcomes papers from staff and graduate students at Massey University in the areas of: Computer Science, Information Science, Mathematics, Statistics and the Physical and Engineering Sciences. Research letters is a preprint series that accepts articles of completed research work, technical reports, or preliminary results from ongoing research. After editing, articles are published online and can be referenced, or handed out at conferences. Copyright remains with the authors and the articles can be used as preprints to academic journal publications or handed out at conferences. Editors Dr Elena Calude Dr Napoleon Reyes The guidelines for writing a manuscript can be accessed here.

    Automotive three-microphone voice activity detector and noise-canceller
    (Massey University, 2005) Qr, Z; Moir, T.J.
    This paper addresses issues in improving hands-free speech recognition performance in car environments. A three-microphone array has been used to form a beamformer with leastmean squares (LMS) to improve Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). A three-microphone array has been paralleled to a Voice Activity Detection (VAD). The VAD uses time-delay estimation together with magnitude-squared coherence (MSC).

    Analysis of a non-minimum phase acoustic beamformer
    (Massey University, 2004) Moir, T.J.
    The two input Griffiths-Jim acoustic beamformer is analysed in the frequency domain using a Wiener type formulation. Unlike previous solutions the approach here is to look at the problem of non-minimum phase acoustic transfer functions which are encountered in many real filtering problems. The polynomial transfer function approach gives an elegant way of obtaining the frequency response of the beamformer and gives new insight to the problem in general.
