Smooth Speech Reconstruction Using Prototype Waveform Interpolationt
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Prototype Waveform Interpolation (PWI) speech coding technique aims t o achieve natural sounding speech by producing smoothly evolving waveforms for voiced speech. The technique is t o control the level of periodicity in reconstructing the voiced speech segments. It was found, however, that PWI does not always produce the smoothly evolving waveforms desired because the method does not truly control the level of periodicity. A revised PWI scheme is proposed which provides control over the level of periodicity and achieves smooth speech reconstruction.

Multi-prototype waveform coding using frame-by-frame analysis-by-synthesis
A new mechanism for using Analysis-by-Synthesis techniques in low rate Waveform Interpolation based coders is introduced. The algorithm, implemented as part of a Multi-Prototype Waveform coder, exploits the high quality speech produced by interpolating unquantised speech-domain Prototype Waveforms. In the new scheme, a frame of Prototype Waveforms is quantised using two sets of codebook searche...
متن کاملRepresenting Voiced Speech Using Prototype Waveform Interpolation for Low-rate Speech Coding
In recent years, research in narrow-band digital speech coding has achieved good quality speech coders at low rates of 4.8 to 8.0 kb/s. This thesis examines the method proposed by W.B. Kleijn called prototype waveform interpolation (PWI) for coding the voiced sections of speech efficiently to achieve a coder below 4.8 kb/s while maintaining, even improving, the perceptual quality of current cod...

متن کاملNon-filter waveform generation from cepstrum using spectral phase reconstruction
This paper discusses non-filter waveform generation from cepstral features using spectral phase reconstruction as an alternative method to replace the conventional source-filter model in text-to-speech (TTS) systems. As the primary purpose of the use of filters is considered as producing a waveform from the desired spectrum shape, one possible alternative of the sourcefilter framework is to dir...
متن کاملMultiband prototype waveform analysis synthesis for very low bit rate speech coding
Prototype waveform interpolation is one of the most e cient compression techniques for coding the speech signal at bit rates below 4 kb/s. Most of the PWI coders employ prototype waveforms of the linear predictive residual signal for coding purpose. In the latest PWI systems, decomposition methods are used to separate the voiced and unvoiced components of the prototype waveforms prior to coding...
