A continuous voicing parameter in the frequency domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
In automatic speech analysis, voicing articulatory is often defined as a binary decision: voiced or unvoiced. Linguists agree that this articulatory should be continuous. In this paper, we present a new approach to compute a continuous voicing indicator of a speech frame. This voicing percentage is then evaluated in both a segmentation process and a speech recognition task. Promising results show that this continuous voicing percentage may be used as a reliable voicing indicator.

Extraction methods of voicing feature for robust speech recognition
In this paper, three different voicing features are studied as additional acoustic features for continuous speech recognition. The harmonic product spectrum based feature is extracted in frequency domain while the autocorrelation and the average magnitude difference based methods work in time domain. The algorithms produce a measure of voicing for each time frame. The voicing measure was combin...

Frequency response diagrams of a system include detailed and recognizable information about the structural and parameter effects of the transfer function model of the system. The information are qualitatively and quantitatively obtainable from simultaneous consideration of amplitude ratio and phase information. In this paper, some rules and relationships are presented for making use of frequenc...
متن کاملFree Vibrations of Continuous Grading Fiber Orientation Beams on Variable Elastic Foundations
Free vibration characteristics of continuous grading fiber orientation (CGFO) beams resting on variable Winkler and two-parameter elastic foundations have been studied. The beam is under different boundary conditions and assumed to have arbitrary variations of fiber orientation in the thickness direction. The governing differential equations for beam vibration are being solved using Generalized...
