Audiovisual processing of Lombard speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perception results are presented that address the role of Lombard speech in auditory and audiovisual speech perception. Basically, visual enhancement neutralizes the advantage of Lombard speech observed for auditory perception. It remains an open question whether or not Lombard speech is preferable for perception studies of speech in noise.

Investigating the role of the Lombard reflex in visual and audiovisual speech recognition
This study focuses on the analysis of the Lombard effect in visual and audiovisual speech recognition. Previous studies have shown that the performance of an audio-only automatic speech recognizer decreases in noisy environments because of the Lombard reflex. A few studies have considered the visual changes due to the Lombard reflex, but the role of the Lombard reflex in automatic visual speech...
متن کاملAudiovisual Lombard speech: reconciling production and perception
An earlier study compared audiovisual perception of speech ’produced in environmental noise’ (Lombard speech) and speech ’produced in quiet’ with the same environmental noise added. The results and showed that listeners make differential use of the visual information depending on the recording condition, but gave no indication of how or why this might be so. A possible confound in that study wa...
متن کاملPerceptual processing of audiovisual Lombard speech
Seeing the talker improves the intelligibility of speech degraded by noise (a visual speech enhancement effect). This experiment examined whether this enhancement is greater when the speech signals were recorded in noise compared to when they were recorded in quiet. Ten sentences were spoken by four people either in-quiet or whilst they were listening to cocktail party noise (in-noise). The vis...
متن کاملThe Use of Read versus Conversational Lombard Speech in Spectral Tilt Modeling for Intelligibility Enhancement in Near-End Noise Conditions
Intelligibility of speech in adverse near-end noise conditions can be enhanced with post-processing. Recently, a postprocessing method based on statistical mapping of the spectral tilt of normal speech to that of Lombard speech was proposed. However, previous intelligibility improvement studies utilizing Lombard speech have mainly gathered data from read sentences which might result in a less p...
متن کاملGlottal-based analysis of the lombard effect
The Lombard effect refers to the speech changes due to the immersion of the speaker in a noisy environment. Among these changes, studies have already reported acoustic modifications mainly related to the vocal tract behaviour. In a complementary way, this paper investigates the variation of the glottal flow in Lombard speech. For this, the glottal flow is estimated by a closed-phase analysis an...
