Read My Lips Voice Recognition Hardware Development
Voice Input Element Requirements –Low cost microphones –Integrated into existing AIS panels –Removes noise created by panels –Improved performance over off the shelf competitors
Design Concept Signal Subtraction to create a highly directional microphone. Omni DirectionalUni-DirectionalResult
Selected Hardware Panasonic Microphones –Omni Directional WM-64PN –Unidirectional WM-55A103 Op Amp –TL082 Low Noise Operational Amplifier
Detailed Schematic
Testing Tune Microphones –Balance omni and uni directional microphones Waveform Analysis –Acquire waveforms to confirm cancellation Translation Analysis –Confirm speech to text translation accuracy Unit Placement –Upper and lower mounting options
Testing - Tuning Microphones must be balanced –Completed by adjusting resistance values
Testing - Waveforms Confirmation of cancellation
Testing - Translation Translation of a predefined script
Testing - Translation Translation accuracy in various scenarios
Testing - Translation Our solution vs. competitor
Testing - Mounting Performance will vary depending on mounting locations Top center of panel was chosen as best location
Future Work High Frequency Analysis –Better cancellation at higher frequencies Power Regulation –Stabilization of DC power supply Increased Directionality –For improved performance Phase analysis –Both within the circuit and the sounds arrival
