An articulatory study of fricative consonants using magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance images of the vocal tract during sustained production of the fricatives/s, •, f, 0, z, 3, v, 6/by four subjects are analyzed. Measurements ofvocal-tract lengths and area functions, and morphological analyses of the vocal tract and tongue shapes for these sounds are presented. Interspeaker differences in area functions are found to be greater in the pharyngeal cavity than in t...
متن کاملMeasurement of Posterior Tibial Slope Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background: Posterior tibial slope (PTS) is an important factor in the knee joint biomechanics and one of the bone features, which leads to knee joint stability. Posterior tibial slope affects flexion gap, knee joint stability and posterior femoral rollback that are related to wide range of knee motion. During high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, proper retaining the...
متن کاملModeling of a speech production system based on MRI measurement of three-dimensional vocal tract shapes during fricative consonant phonation
This study, based on the measurement of three-dimensional (3-D) vocal tract shapes during fricative consonant phonation, presents a realistic modeling of a human speech production system. The 3-D shapes of a vocal tract and a dental crown were measured using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A male subject was asked to produce the fricatives /s/ and /6/ while wearing a dental crown plate that c...
متن کاملToward Automatic Vocal Tract Area Function Estimation from Accelerated Three-dimensional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Vocal tract area function estimation from three-dimensional (3D) volumetric dataset often involves complex and manual procedures such as oblique slice cutting and image segmentation. We introduce a semi-automatic method for estimating vocal tract area function from 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) datasets. The method was implemented on a custom MATLAB graphical user interface and computes t...
متن کاملVocal Tract Model Adaptation Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
We present the adaptation of the anatomy and articulation of a 3D vocal tract model to a new speaker using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We combined two MRI corpora of the speaker: A corpus of volumetric images of sustained phonemes and a corpus with midsagittal image sequences of dynamic utterances. The volumetric MRI corpus was used for the adaptation of vocalic and (neutral) consonantal ...
