Abstract:
The Silent sound technology is an amazing solution for those who had lost their voice but wish to speak over phone. It is
developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and you can expect to see it in the near future. When demonstrated, it seems to detect
every lip movement and internally converts the electrical pulses into sounds signals and sends them neglecting all other surrounding noise.
It is definitely going to be a good solution for those feeling annoyed when other speak loud over phone.
The awesome feature added to this technology is that "it is an instant polyglot" I.E, movements can be immediately transformed into the
language of the user's choice. This translation works for languages like English, French & German. But, for the languages like Chinese,
different tones can hold many different meanings. This poses Problem said Wand. He also said that in five or may be in ten years this will
Be used in everyday's technology
INTRODUCTION
Silence is the best answer for all the situations …even your mobile understands !
The word Cell Phone has become greatest buzz word in Cellular Communication industry.
There are lots and lots of technology that tries to reduce the Noise pollution and make the environment a better place to
live in.
I will tell about a new technology known as Silent Sound Technology that will put an end to Noise pollution.
You are in a movie theater or noisy restaurant or a bus etc where there is lot of noise around is big issue while talking on a mobile
phone. But in the future this problem is eliminated with ”silent sounds”, a new technology unveiled at the CeBIT fair on Tuesday
that transforms lip movements into a computer-generated voice for the listener at the other end of the phone.
It is a technology that helps you to transmit information without using your vocal cords . This technology aims to notice lip
movements & transform them into a computer generated sound that can be transmitted over a phone . Hence person on other end of
phone receives the information in audio.
In the 2010 CeBIT's "future park", a concept "Silent Sound" Technology demonstrated which aims to notice every movement of the
lips and transform them into sounds, which could help people who lose voices to speak, and allow people to make silent calls
without bothering others.The device, developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), uses electromyography,
monitoring tiny muscular movements that occur when we speak and converting them into electrical pulses that can then be turned
into speech, without a sound uttered.
Silent Sound’ technology aims to notice every movements of the lips and transform them into sounds, which could help people
who lose voices to speak, and allow people to make silent calls without bothering others. Rather than making any sounds, your
handset would decipher the movements your mouth makes by measuring muscle activity, then convert this into speech that the
person on the other end of the call can hear. So, basically, it reads your lips.
IMAGE PROCESSING
In electrical engineering and computer science, image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input
is an image, such as a photograph or video frame; the output of image processing may be either an image or, a set of
characteristics or parameters related to the image. Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a
two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.
RESEARCH
With all of the millions of phones in
circulation, there is great potential for increasing earnings by saving 'lost calls' - telephone calls that go unanswered or
uninitiated because the user is in a situation in which he or she cannot speak - not just in business meetings, but everyday
situations. According to research, these 'lost calls' are worth $20 billion per year worldwide. For the cellular operator,
these are potential earnings that are currently being left on the table. When these 'lost calls' become answerable, and can be
conducted without making a sound, there is a tremendous potential for increased profits. Now the research is going on
technology that can be used in Office Environment too.
CONCLUSION
Thus Silent Sound Technology,one of the recent trends in the field of information technology implements ”Talking
Without Talking”.
It will be one of the innovation and useful technology and in mere future this technology will be use in our day to day life.
