Ming Li of ThinkIT Lab |  | 

 

(From Ming Li of ThinkIT Lab) Supported by Dean Foundation Project -- "Research on Objective Vocal Singing Performance Evaluation Approach", music research group of ThinkIT Speech lab developed a serial of technologies on objective singing evaluation after several years' exploration. The project analyzed the main factors which have great impact on singing evaluation, explored the relationship between every factor and investigated every factor impact on the whole evaluation. The advanced point of this technology is that it makes some subjective factor calculable or objective such as vocal brightness, vocal clarity and so on. This technology acquires evaluation strategy by learning experts' rating. The research results were published on an international journal.

We not only achieved new technology on research, but also developed applicable product based on the technology at the same time. "Singing evaluation technology demo"developed by ThinkIT Lab abstracted much attention on 18th China International Exhibition on Pro Audio, Light, Music & Technology. Several main KTV manufactures already began testing the technology such as Star Net Video Ltd. and Beijing Vision Technology Ltd. Thunderstone Technology Ltd. has integrated the singing evaluation technology in its newest KTV product. This technology will be widely used in Karaoke, music consuming and singing education.
