Stylization of glottal-flow spectra produced b
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is proposed to extract glottal-flow spectra from numerical simulations of vocal-fold behavior with a two-mass model including dynamic flow separation. The numerical spectrum, whose general form complies with that of signal glottal-flow models, allows stylization with three linear segments. The slope of the first segment remains relatively constant when source control parameters are varied, whereas the slope of the last segment (i.e. the spectral tilt) is highly sensitive to the vibrating vocal-fold mass, tension and stiffness. The phase of mobility of the flow separation position within the glottal cycle may introduce, if long enough, a dip in the glottal-flow spectrum.

Steady Flow Through Modeled Glottal Constriction
The airflow in the modeled glottal constriction was simulated by the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flow, and the corresponding Reynolds equations for turbulent flow in generalized, nonorthogonal coordinates using a numerical method. A two-dimensional model of laryngeal flow is considered and aerodynamic properties are calculated for both laminar and turbulent steady flows...
متن کاملA method for glottal formant frequency estimation
This study presents a method for estimation of glottal formant frequency (Fg) from speech signals. Our method is based on zeros of z-transform decomposition of speech spectra into two spectra : glottal flow dominated spectrum and vocal tract dominated spectrum. Peak picking is performed on the amplitude spectrum of the glottal flow dominated part. The algorithm is tested on synthetic speech. It...
متن کاملIterative Optimal Preemphasis for Improved Glottal-Flow Estimation by Iterative Adaptive Inverse Filtering
Iterative adaptive inverse filtering (IAIF) [1] remains among the state-of-the-art algorithms for estimating glottal flow from the recorded speech signal. Here, we re-examine IAIF in light of its foundational, classical model of voiced (non-nasalized) speech, wherein the overall spectral tilt is caused only by lipradiation and glottal effects, while the vocal-tract transfer function contains fo...

The quantitative relationship between glottal flow parameters (fundamental frequency, average flow, peak flow etc.) and glottal control parameters (cord tension, glottal adduction, subglottal pressure) has been measured. Using the condition of constant glottal flow our model is able to produce the range of pitches of the modal tenor register. Increasing fundamental frequency is realized by incr...

Glottal flow waveforms estimated by inverse filtering acoustic speech pressure signals were compared to glottal area functions obtained by digital high-speed imaging of the vocal fold vibration. Speech data consisted of breathy, normal and pressed phonations produced by two male and one female subjects. The results yield both qualitative and quantitative information about the relationship betwe...
