Database of Volumetric and Real-Time Vocal Tract MRI for Speech Science
We present the USC Speech and Vocal Tract Morphology MRI Database, a 17-speaker magnetic resonance imaging database for speech research. The database consists of real-time magnetic resonance images (rtMRI) of dynamic vocal tract shaping, denoised audio recorded simultaneously with rtMRI, and 3D volumetric MRI of vocal tract shapes during sustained speech sounds. We acquired 2D real-time MRI of ...
متن کاملEstimation of vocal tract area function for Mandarin vowel sequences using MRI
To fully explore the dynamic properties of speech production and investigate the relation between vocal tract geometry and speech acoustics, estimation of vocal tract area functions from measurements of the sagittal plane is an important step. In this study, we investigated the relation between the measurements on two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) MRI data and used an alpha-beta m...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Modeling of Tongue during Speech Using Mri Data
The tongue is the most important and dynamic articulator for speech formation, because of its anatomic aspects (particularly, the large volume of this muscular organ comparatively to the surrounding organs of the vocal tract) and also due to the wide range of movements and flexibility that are involved. In speech communication research, a variety of techniques have been used for measuring the t...
متن کاملFrom Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
متن کاملUsing magnetic resonance to image the pharynx during Arabic speech: Static and dynamic aspects
Magnetic resonance imaging has been applied only recently to the study of Arabic speech production. Arabic has a relatively large number of sounds produced with constrictions in the pharynx, a part of the vocal anatomy well-suited to investigation using MRI. We show that static 3D MRI techniques can be useful in distinguishing the pharyngeal sounds of Arabic and that average pixel intensity in ...
