Preemphasis Influence on Harmonic Speech Model with Autoregressive Parameterization
نویسنده
چکیده
Autoregressive speech parameterization with and without preemphasis is discussed for the source-filter model and the harmonic model. Quality of synthetic speech is compared for the harmonic speech model using autoregressive parameterization without preemphasis, with constant and adaptive preemphasis. Experimental results are evaluated by the RMS log spectral measure between the smoothed spectra of original and synthesized male, female, and childish speech sampled at 8 kHz and 16 kHz. Although the harmonic model is used, the benefit of the adaptive preemphasis could be valid for the source-filter model, as well.

Iterative 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...
متن کاملApproximate Kalman Filtering for the Harmonic plus Noise Model
We present a probabilistic description of the Harmonic plus Noise Model (HNM) for speech signals. This probabilistic formulation permits Maximum Likelihood (ML) parameter estimation and speech synthesis becomes a straightforward sampling from a distribution. It also permits development of a Kalman filter that tracks model parameters such as pitch, harmonic amplitudes, and autoregressive coeffic...
متن کاملAccurate estimation of sinusoidal parameters in an harmonic+noise model for speech synthesis
We present here an Harmonic+Noise Model (HNM) for speech synthesis. The noise part is represented by an autoregressive model whose output is pitchsynchronously modulated in energy. The harmonic part of the signal is represented by a sinusoidal model. This paper compares di erent methods for separating these two components. We then propose a method for the estimation of the sinusoidal parameters...

We present and evaluate here an Harmonic + Noise Model (HNM) for speech synthesis. The noise part is represented by an autoregressive model whose output is pitch-synchronously modulated in energy. The harmonic part of the signal is represented by a sum of harmonic sinusoids. This paper compares different methods for separating these two components.
