SILENT SOUND TECHNOLOGY

DHEERENDRA NATH 8TH SEM EEE

INTRODUCTION

Amazing solution for those who had lost their voice but wish to speak over phone. Developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. Detects every lip movement and Internally converts the electrical pulses into sounds signals and sends them neglecting all other surrounding noise. Tell confidential information over phone without others hearing it. Allows you to communicate to any person in the world as the electrical pulse is universal and can be converted into any language depending upon your choice. Expected in the next 5 - 10 years. Once launched, will have a drastic effect and with no doubt, will be widely used.

NEED FOR SILENT SOUND

An end to embarrassed situations such as:

A

person answering his silent, but vibrating cell phone in a meeting, lecture or performance, and whispering loudly, I cant talk to you right now . In the case of an urgent call, apologetically rushing out of the room in order to answer or call the person back.

METHODS

Two Methods Technology

1.
Monitoring

for

using

Silent

Sound

Electromyography
tiny muscular movements that occur when

we speak. Signals are converted into electrical pulses that can then be turned into speech, without a sound uttered.
2.

Image Processing

Converting

digital data tape into a film image with minimal corrections and calibrations. Large mainframe computers employed for sophisticated interactive manipulation of the data.

IMAGE PROCESSING
Image processing is a physical process used to convert an image signal into a physical image. The image signal can be either digital or analog. The actual output itself can be an actual physical image or the characteristics of an image. converts the digital data tape into a film image with minimal corrections and calibrations. Then large mainframe computers are employed for sophisticated interactive manipulation of the data. Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.

IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUE :

Analysis of remotely sensed data is done using various image processing techniques and methods that includes: Analog image processing - Analog processing techniques are applied to hard copy data such as photographs or printouts. It adopts certain elements of interpretation, such as primary element, spatial arrangement etc.,

Digital image processing - It is the use of computer algorithms to perform image processing on digital images in the form of multi dimensional systems.

ANALOG IMAGE PROCESSING

Analog processing techniques are applied to hard copy such as photos and print outs. It includes optical photogrammetric techniques allowing for precise measurement of height,width,location etc. Elements of image interpretation: Primary elements : black and white tone,colour tone and stereoscopic paralax. Spatial arrangement of tone : size,shape,texture pattern.

DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING

It involves use of computer algorithms for the manipulation of digital images. Digital image processing is more advantageous than analog image processing because it allows wider range of algorithms to be applied for i/p data. This avoids problems of build up of noise and signal distortion. Digital image consists of discrete picture elements called as pixels. Each pixel is represented as a digital number that depicts the average radiance of small area within the scene. Range of pixels is 0-255 and as the pixel size reduces,more scene detail is preserved in digital representation.

APPLICATIONS
Helping people who have lost their voice due to illness or accident. Telling a trusted friend your PIN number over the phone without anyone eavesdropping assuming no lip-readers are around. Silent Sound Techniques is applied in Military for communicating secret/confidential matters to others.

RESTRICTIONS
Translation

into majority of languages but for languages such as Chinese different tone holds different meaning, facial movements being the same. Hence this technology is difficult to apply in such situations. From security point of view recognizing who you are talking to gets complicated. Even differentiating between people and emotions cannot be done. This means you will always feel you are talking to a robot.

CONCLUSION
Silent Sound Technology, one of the recent trends in the field of information technology implements Talking Without Talking. It will be one of the innovation and useful technology and in mere future this technology will be use in our day to day life.
