Formant estimation for speech recognition
This paper presents a new method for estimating formant frequencies. The formant model is based on a digital resonator. Each resonator represents a segment of the short-time power spectrum. The complete spectrum is modeled by a set of digital resonators connected in parallel. An algorithm based on dynamic programming produces both the model parameters and the segment boundaries that optimally m...
متن کاملNoise-Reduced Complex LPC Analysis for Formant Estimation of Noisy Speech
In this paper we present a complex linear prediction analysis method for estimating the formant frequencies of noisy speech. The proposed method effectively utilizes the signal (being the analytic signal) which is ignored in the conventional complex linear prediction analysis to achieve noise reduction. Also, the covariance and forward-backward linear prediction (FBLP) methods are compared, and...
متن کاملReconstruction of continuous voiced speech from whispers
Whispers are an important secondary vocal communications mechanism that can be necessary for communicating private information and which are an integral aspect of natural human-tohuman dialogue. Furthermore, they may be the primary vocal communications method of those suffering from certain forms of aphonia, such as laryngectomees. This paper considers the conversion of continuous whispers to n...
متن کاملMethods for estimation of glottal pulses waveforms exciting voiced speech
Nowadays, the most popular techniques of the speech processing are the recognition of all kinds (the speech, the speaker and the state of speaker recog.) and the text-to-speech synthesis. In both these domains, there are possibilities to use the glottal pulses waveforms. In the recognition techniques we can use them for the vocal cords description and then use it for the classification of speak...
متن کاملSpeech formant frequency estimation: evaluating a nonstationary analysis method
The objective of this paper is to critically evaluate the performance of a nonstationary analysis method in tracking speech formant frequencies as they change with time due to the natural variations in the vocal-tract system during speech production. The method of instantaneous frequency estimation is applied to the tracking of speech formant frequencies to observe the time variations in the vo...
