Mappings between vocal tract area functions, vocal tract resonances and speech formants for multiple speakers
This study looks at mappings between vocal tract area functions (obtained from MRI scans), vocal tract resonances, and speech formants for five New Zealand English (NZE) speakers. All eleven NZE monophthongs were investigated, for each speaker. Principal component (PC) analysis on the area functions of both the individual speakers and combined speaker set is performed. In all cases the first tw...
متن کاملVocal Tract Area Function Estimation Using Particle Swarm
The problem of estimating the Vocal Tract Area Functions (VTAF) from speech signals arise in many applications. However, the existing methods for solving this problem were designed for small subset of speech sounds. This research presents a novel method for estimating VTAF from speech signal based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). This method is general and can be applied for large classes ...
متن کاملVocal tract area function inversion by linear regression of cepstrum
Vocal tract data from 3D cine-MRI are used together with synchronised acoustics to evaluate a linear regression model for inversion. The first two principal components of vocalic area functions are predicted with correlations 0.99 and 0.97 respectively, from 24 FFT-cepstra measured in the frequency band 0-4 kHz. This best regression model together with the two component representation yields me...
متن کاملVocal-tract area-function parameters from formant frequencies
The basic three-pararneter vocal tract area function model of Fant [2] has been extended to allow for asymmetry and variable length of the tongue hump section as well as variations of the VT overalllength. An important class of articulations are those that conform with this model, mostly vowel sounds and consonants wi~hout . apical . modification or a secondary posterior art1culatton. Starmg ou...
متن کاملMechanical vocal-tract models for speech dynamics
Arai has developed several physical models of the human vocal tract for education and has reported that they are intuitive and helpful for students of acoustics and speech science. We first reviewed dynamic models, including the sliding three-tube (S3T) model and the flexible-tongue model. We then developed a head-shaped model with a sliding tongue, which has the advantages of both the S3T and ...
