Model based voice decomposition method

چکیده
This paper proposes a voice decomposition method based on voice model. Using correlation distance as a criterion frequency domain decomposition is formulated. For a pair of correlation coe cient vectors minimizing powers of spectra is characterized using quadratic programming problem with constraint, where values of powers are non-negative. The solution of the problem without constraint is calculated using a linear equation where the coe cients are determined by correlation coe cient vectors. A correspondingmatrix for the linear equation has a nonnegative determinant, and the su cient and necessary condition for existence of reverse matrix is that given correlation coe cient vectors are linear independent. The solution with constraint is also given by solving a linear equation.

Blind Voice Separation Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition and Grey Wolf Optimizer Algorithm
Blind voice separation refers to retrieve a set of independent sources combined by an unknown destructive system. The proposed separation procedure is based on processing of the observed sources without having any information about the combinational model or statistics of the source signals. Also, the number of combined sources is usually predefined and it is difficult to estimate based on the ...

This article aims to examine methods of optimizing GMM-based voice conversion systems performance in which GMM method is introduced as the basic method for improvement of voice conversion systems performance. In the current methods, due to using a single conversion function to convert all speech units and subsequent spectral smoothing arising from statistical averaging, we will observe quality ...
متن کاملVoice activity detection using singular value decomposition-based filter
This paper proposes a novel voice activity detector (VAD) based on singular value decomposition (SVD). The spectro-temporal characteristics of background noise region can be easily analyzed by SVD. The proposed method naturally drops hangover algorithm from VAD. Moreover, it adaptively changes the decision threshold by employing the most dominant singular value of the observation matrix in the ...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملA novel technique for voice conversion based on style and content decomposition with bilinear models
This paper presents a novel technique for voice conversion by solving a two-factor task using bilinear models. The spectral content of the speech represented as line spectral frequencies is separated into so-called style and content parameterizations using a framework proposed in [1]. This formulation of the voice conversion problem in terms of style and content offers a flexible representation...
