Production Based Pitch Modifica
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous research has shown that the voice source is strongly correlated with speech quality [1][2][3]. However in many existing pitch modification algorithms only the impulse train excitation is modified, while the voice source is normally included in vocal tract transfer function and remains unchanged during modification. We present a production based pitch-scale modification scheme, which modifies the voice source waveform extracted from the speech signal. Experiment on synthesized voice sounds shows that compared to previous methods, better quality can be achieved for a wider pitch modification range.

Characterizing rhythm in the ESL production by Mandarin Speakers on both duration- and pitch-based measures
An experiment is conducted to investigate rhythm in the ESL production by native Mandarin speakers. Rhythm is characterized not only by the traditional acoustic rhythmic measures of duration, but pitch-based analysis is also used, which include minimum and maximum F0s, pitch range, number of pitch rises and pitch slope. The results show that the ESL production has not met the native-speaking ta...
متن کاملThe Prosody of Discourse Structure and Content in the Production of Persian EFL Learners
The present research addressed the prosodic realization of global and local text structure and content in the spoken discourse data produced by Persian EFL learners. Two newspaper articles were analyzed using Rhetorical Structure Theory. Based on these analyses, the global structure in terms of hierarchical level, the local structure in terms of the relative importance of text segments and the ...
متن کاملIntelligent Control for the Variable-Speed Variable-Pitch Wind Energy System
In this paper, a new type of multi-variable compensation control method for the wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is presented. Based on wind energy conversion systems, combining artificial neural network (ANN) control and PID, a new type of PID NN intelligent controller for steady state torque of the wind generator is designed, by which the steady state torque output is regulated to track ...
متن کاملType-2 fuzzy logic based pitch angle controller for fixed speed wind energy system
In this paper, an interval Type-2 fuzzy logic based pitch angle controller is proposed for fixed speed wind energy system (WES) to maintain the aerodynamic power at its rated value. The pitch angle reference is generated by the proposed controller which can compensate the non-linear characteristics of the pitch angle to the wind speed. The presence of third dimension in the Type-2 fuzzy logic c...
متن کاملClassification of Iranian Traditional Music Dastgahs Using Features Based on Pitch Frequency
The Iranian traditional music is composed of seven majors Dastgahs: Chahargah, Homayoun, Mahour, Segah, Shour, Nava, and Rast-Panjgah. In this paper, a new algorithm for the classification of the Iranian traditional music Dastgahs based on pitch frequency is proposed. In this algorithm, the features of Lagrange coefficients of pitch logarithm (LCPL), Fuzzy similarity sets type 2 (FSST2), and th...
