Device and method for assessing a quality class of an object to be tested
First Claim
1. A device for assessing a quality class of a device under test, comprising:
- a unit for detecting an acoustic non-voice test signal from the device under test;
a unit for providing a stochastic Markov model including states and transitions between states on the basis of reference measurements of devices of known quality classes, wherein, in the stochastic Markov model, a single probability density distribution is associated with each state, and wherein several states have transitions from a common predecessor state;
a unit for evaluating the acoustic non-voice test signal using the stochastic Markov model; and
a unit for associating the device under test with a quality class based on the stochastic Markov model evaluation of the acoustic non-voice test signal.

Abstract
A device for assessing a quality class of an object to be tested includes a unit for detecting a test signal from the object to be tested. Furthermore, the device for assessing includes a unit for providing a stochastic Markov model including states and transitions between states on the basis of reference measurements of objects of known quality classes, and a unit for evaluating the test signal using the stochastic Markov model. In addition, the device for assessing includes a unit for associating the object to be tested with a quality class based on the evaluation of the test signal. Such a device has the advantage to be able to perform a more precise association of an object to be tested with a quality class as compared to prior art.
