Dysphonic voices and the 0-3000 hz frequency band

چکیده
Concerned with pathological voice assessment, this paper aims at characterizing dysphonia in the frequency domain for a better understanding of related phenomena while most of the studies have focused only on improving classification systems for diagnosis help purposes. Based on a first study which demonstrates that the low frequencies ([0-3000]Hz) are more relevant for dysphonia discrimination compared with higher frequencies, the authors propose in this paper to pursue by analyzing the impact of the restricted frequency band ([0-3000]Hz) on the dysphonic voice discrimination from a phonetical and perceptual point of views. A discussion around the frequency band limitation of telephone channel is also proposed.

Frequency study for the characterization of the dysphonic voices
Concerned with pathological voice assessment, this paper aims at characterizing dysphonia in the frequency domain for a better understanding of relating phenomena while most of the studies have focused only on improving classification systems for diagnosis help purposes. In this context, a GMM-based automatic classification system is applied on different frequency ranges in order to investigate...
متن کاملBack-and-Forth Methodology for Objective Voice Quality Assessment: From/to Expert Knowledge to/from Automatic Classification of Dysphonia
This paper addresses voice disorder assessment. It proposes an original back-and-forth methodology involving an automatic classification system as well as knowledge of the human experts (machine learning experts, phoneticians, and pathologists). The goal of this methodology is to bring a better understanding of acoustic phenomena related to dysphonia. The automatic system was validated on a dys...
متن کاملMeasurement of signal-to-noise ratio in dysphonic voices by image processing of spectrograms
The measurement of glottal noise was investigated in human and synthesized dysphonic voices by means of two-dimensional (2D) speech processing. A prime objective was the reduction of measurement sensitivities to fundamental frequency (f0) tracking errors and phonatory aperiodicities. An available fingerprint image enhancement algorithm was used for signal-to-noise measurement in narrow band spe...
متن کاملFrequency-Based Analysis for the Characterization of the Dysphonic Voices
Since several years, many studies have focused on the objective measurement-analysis for dysphonic voice assessment, proposed as an alternative to the perceptual evaluation [5] that is extensively used by clinicians. In most cases, these studies describe classification systems, based on acoustic, physiological and/or aerodynamic parameters, in order to improve the performance and to help clinic...
متن کاملPitch strength of normal and dysphonic voices.
Two sounds with the same pitch may vary from each other based on saliency of their pitch sensation. This perceptual attribute is called "pitch strength." The study of voice pitch strength may be important in quantifying of normal and pathological qualities. The present study investigated how pitch strength varies across normal and dysphonic voices. A set of voices (vowel /a/) selected from the ...
