| Abstract | In this paper we investigate optical flow field features for the automatic labeling of word prominence. Visual motion is a rich source of information. Modifying the articulatory parameters to raise the prominence of a segment of an utterance, is usually accompanied by a stronger movement of mouth and head compared to a non-prominent segment. One way to describe such motion is to use optical flow fields. During the recording of the audio-visual database we used for the following experiments, the subjects were asked to make corrections for a misunderstanding of a single word of the system by using prosodic cues only, which created a narrow and a broad focus. Audio-visual recordings with a distant microphone and without visual markers were made. As acoustic features duration, loudness, fundamental frequency and spectral emphasis were calculated. From the visual channel the nose position is detected and the mouth region is extracted. From this region the optical flow is calculated and all the optical flow fields for one word are summed up. The pooled optical flow for the four directions is then used as feature vector. We demonstrate that using these features in addition to the audio features can improve the classification results for some speakers. We also compare the optical flow field features to other visual features, the nose position and image transformation based visual features. The optical flow field features incorporate not as much information as image transformation based visual features, but using both in addition to the audio features leads to the overall best results, which shows that they contain complementary information. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
