Image processing is one of the most complex methods around data processing using computers. Many researchers have been developing the systems for solving image processing problems, but it is difficult for them to make features for characterizing images. One example of these problems is an image detection problem, which involves detecting the physical location and direction of one piece which respect to the original full image. In this paper, we propose an example of adapting image processing methods for image detection problems provided by the 16th Programming Contest for All-Japan Colleges of Technology. We have taken part in this contest and will show the results of the contest in this paper.

In this experiment, by using white Gaussian noise and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), spoken Japanese language was synthesized. Firstly, the spectrum of voice signals was calculated by DFT and multiplied to spectrum of white Gaussian noise. Secondly, through inverse DFT, synthesized voice signals was obtained. Furthermore, to improve this signal performance, several bandpath filters were used. Synthetic speech was evaluated by the human auditory sense and quantification theory I.

This paper is a review article on "intelligibility" in pronunciation teaching. Although intelligibility has been widely regarded as a goal of pronunciation for learners of English for about a decade, its nature has been claimed to be ambiguous. This paper reviews how this concept has been dealt with both in Japanese and European ELT fields and points out the differences and problems of the concept among these countries. Finally, some implications for renovating pronunciation teaching in classroom context in Japan were discussed.
