The goal of this research is to find a set of acoustic parameters that are related to differences between Polish and Lithuanian language consonants. In order to identify these differences, an acoustic analysis is performed, and the phoneme sounds are described as the vectors of acoustic parameters. Parameters known from the speech domain as well as those from the music information retrieval area are employed. These parameters are time- and frequency-domain descriptors. English language as an auxiliary language is used in the experiments. In the first part of the experiments, an analysis of Lithuanian and Polish language samples is carried out, features are extracted, and the most discriminating ones are determined. In the second part of the experiments, automatic classification of Lithuanian/English, Polish/English, and Lithuanian/Polish phonemes is performed.
We analyse storage problems of digital images in accordance with image quality and image compression efficiency. Storage problems are relevant for Cloud storage and file hosting services, online file storage providers, social networks, etc. In this paper, an approach is proposed to process a group of images with a JPEG algorithm that all the processed images satisfy the minimum threshold of quality with the automatic selection of the quality factor (QF). The experimental investigation reveals advantages of the compression efficiency of the proposed approach over the traditional JPEG algorithm. The proposed approach enables saving storage spaces while maintaining the desirable image quality.
