Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-aided conversion system and method for generating intelligible speech that uses a transmitter disposed in the nasal cavity of a user and a receiver disposed in pairs with the transmitter, the transmitter transmits a detecting signal in waveform to the nasal cavity of the user, and the receiver receives a reflected wave from the user's nasal cavity. After analyzing the reflected wave, a spectrum corresponding to the acoustic model of an articulatory cavity is obtained. Through the spectrum, the intention in the speaking of the user may be known, that is, the present invention may detect a speech not originated from the vocal cord of the user.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for creating digital assets that can be used to personalize themed products. For example, a workflow and pipeline used to generate a 3D model from digital images of a person's face and to manufacture a personalized, physical figurine customized with the 3D model are disclosed. The 3D model of the person's face may be simplified to match a topology of a desired figurine. While the topology is deformed to match that of the figurine, the 3D model retains the geometry of the child's face. Simplifying the topology of the 3D model in this manner allows the mesh to be integrated with or attached to a mesh representing desired figurine.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for synthesizing sounds using estimated material parameters. According to one aspect, a method for sound synthesis using estimated material parameters is provided. The method includes at a computing platform including a memory and a processor, estimating, by the processor and based on a recorded audio sample of an impact on a physical object, one or more material parameters of a physical object for use in synthesizing a sound associated with a virtual object having material properties similar to the physical object. The method further includes storing the one or more material parameters in memory. The method further includes using the estimated material parameters to generate a synthesize sound for the virtual object.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for simulating sound propagation are disclosed. According to one exemplary method, the method includes decomposing a scene having at least one object into at least one near-object region and at least one far-object region. The method also includes generating at least one transfer function for the at least one near-object region, wherein the at least one transfer function maps an incoming sound field reaching the at least one object to an outgoing sound field emanating from the at least one object, wherein the incoming sound field is based on a geometric acoustic technique and the outgoing sound field is based on a numerical acoustic technique. The method further includes utilizing the at least one transfer function to perform simulation of sound propagation within the scene.
