A Novel Approach to Edge Detection and Performance Measurebased on the Theory of “Range” and “Bowley’s Measure ofSkewness” in a Noisy Environment
Abstract: We proposed a new edge detection algorithm in a salt and pepper noisy environment without any pre-processing. The algorithm is a simple, unique mathematical expression. It is the product of three terms: median, range and some edge image enhancement constant. The algorithm assumes that the edge exists in an image at non-zero skewness. We also proposed a performance measure technique by using “Bowley's measure of Skewness”. The coefficient of Skewness …

Correlation of Formant Centralization Ratio with Perceptual Measures of Dysarthria Speech
Abstract: Poor speech intelligibility is one of the main concerns in dysarthria speech. Speech intelligibility can be measured using different methods. Formant centralization ratio (FCR) is one of the quantitative methods of finding speech intelligibility based on acoustical measures. The present study aims to find if there is any correlation between FCR and perceptual measures of intelligibility. There were six subjects including four males and two females as participants for the …
