Voice Processing by Dynamic Glottal Models with Applications to Speech Enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the use of low-dimensional physical models of the voice source for speech coding and processing applications. A class of waveform-adaptive dynamic glottal models and parameter tracking procedures are illustrated. The model and analysis procedures are assessed by addressing speech encoding and enhancement, achievable by using a state space version of the dynamical model in a Extended Kalman filtering framework. The proposed method is shown to provide better SNR improvement if compared to a standard AR Kalman filtering scheme.

متن کاملA Review of Glottal Waveform Analysis
Glottal inverse filtering is of potential use in a wide range of speech processing applications. As the process of voice production is, to a first order approximation, a source-filter process, then obtaining source and filter components provides for a flexible representation of the speech signal for use in processing applications. In certain applications the desire for accurate inverse filterin...
