Development of Voice Activated Ground Control Station

Abstract

This paper chronicles the development of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system that can be integrated to Ground Control Station (GCS) of MAVs to achieve voice activation. The first part of the paper highlights the nature of aerospace speech signals and hence the issues to be considered while designing a voice activated aerospace application. The second part describes the development and integration of an ASR capability to the GCS. � 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license.
