The center for Processing Speech and Images is with 70
people one of the biggest research units within the Electrical
Engineering (ESAT) Department. Research covers a large area in the
field of audio-visual information processing. The combination of
speech and image processing within the same group is an important
advantage for the future, which is quite unique within the European
context. Our researchers come from different backgrounds: engineers,
physicists, mathematicians, linguists,... This multi disciplinarity
gives PSI the possibility to couple fundamental innovation with
practical solutions in a broad spectrum of applications. The large
number of European projects underlines our international reputation.
PSI has been a starting point of successful spin-offs and a reliable
partner for industry. The subgroup SPEECH works on automatic speech
recognition by means of Hidden Markov Models and Neural networks,
processing and quality improvement of audio signals in noisy
environments, speech corpora for Dutch, speech driven user interfaces
and speech coding and speech transformations.
