Gui Front-end for Spectral Warping
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a software tool developed in the Java language to facilitate time and frequency warping of audio spectra. The application utilises the Java Advanced Image Processing (AIP) API which contains classes for image manipulation and, in particular, for non-linear warping using polynomial transformations. Warping of spectral representations is fundamental to sound processing techniques such as sound transformation and morphing. Dynamic time warping has been the method of choice for many implementations of temporal and spectral alignment for morphing. This tool offers greater advantage by providing an interactive approach to warping, thus allowing greater flexibility in achieving a desired transformation. This application can then be used as input to a signal synthesis routine, which will recover the transformed sound. Figure 1: Warping program flow chart.

A Linear Predictive Front-end Processor for Speech Recognition in Noisy Environments
We investigate the performance of a recent algorithm €or linear predictive (LP) modeling of speech signals, which have been degraded by uncorrelated additive noise, as a front-end processor in a speech recognition system. The system is speaker dependent, and recognizes isolated words, based on dynamic time warping principles. The LP model for the clean speech is estimated through appropriate co...
متن کاملA Low-Power Text-Dependent Speaker Verification System with Narrow-Band Feature Pre-Selection and Weighted Dynamic Time Warping
To fully enable voice interaction in wearable devices, a system requires low-power, customizable voice-authenticated wake-up. Existing speaker-verification (SV) methods have shortcomings relating to power consumption and noise susceptibility. To meet the application requirements, we propose a low-power, text-dependent SV system comprising a sparse spectral feature extraction front-end showing i...
متن کاملAn Acoustic Front-end Using Warped Frequency and Temporal Resolutions
Typically, the power spectrum of a speech frame used in speech recognition is estimated for a fixed length window using the fast Fourier transform. Each frequency component represented in this power spectrum is an estimate over that speech frame. The power spectrum calculated in this way hms a constant time and frequency resolution. An example: of this type of front-end is the LPC-derived cepst...
متن کاملAnalysis of speech segments using variable spectral/temporal resolution
In this paper we present an approach for efficiently computing a compact temporal/spectral feature set for representing a segment of speech, with effective resolution depending on both frequency and time position within the segment. The goal is to mimic the resolution properties of the human auditory system, but using a computationally efficient FFT-based front end rather than a more complex au...
