Kaewtip, Kantapon. University of California, Los Angeles(2017)"Robust Automatic Recognition of Birdsongs and Human Speech: a Template-Based Approach", advisor: Alwan, Abeer
This dissertation focuses on robust signal processing algorithms for birdsongs and speech signals. Automatic phrase or syllable detection systems of bird sounds are useful in several applications. However, bird-phrase detection is challenging due to segmentation error, duration variability, limited training data, and background noise.
