In this paper the effect of 10 kinds of disguise voices on the performance of a Forensic Automatic Speaker Recognition System (FASRS) was studied. 10 types of disguised voices and normal voices from 20 male college students were used as test samples. Each disguised voice was compared with all normal voices in the database of 2000 speakers to make speaker identification and speaker verification. The result of speaker recognition was presented and the effect of voice disguise on the FASRS was evaluated.
Foot length and breadth are generally used to determine the correct shoe size. An important question is whether foot length and foot breadth are dependent upon body posture. Therefore, the effect of leaning forward/backward on foot length and breadth is investigated in this study. Seven subjects participated in the experiment in three standing postures; neutral (N), leaning forward (F) en leaning backward (B). The foot pressure was determined and the feet were scanned using a 3D-whole body scanner. Foot length and foot breadth were determined from the scans of the right foot. The centre of gravity (COG) was calculated from the pressure distribution and showed that the COG moved 11 cm forward in posture F and 8 cm backward in posture B. No difference existed between foot length and breadth between the three postures. Thus, it does seem important to standardize the standing posture to determine foot length and breadth reliably. The 3D scans showed some differences in foot shape, however. In position F the forefoot was rotated inwards as compared to B.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
