Analysis of emotional speech at subsegmental level
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emotional speech is produced when a speaker is in a state different from normal state. The objective of this study is to explore the deviations in the excitation source features of an emotional speech compared to normal speech. The features used for analysis are extracted at subsegmental level (1-3 ms) of speech. A comparative study of these features across different emotions indicates that there are significant deviations in the subsegmental level features of speech in emotional state when compared to normal state.

Analysis of excitation source features of speech for emotion recognition
During production of emotional speech there are deviations in the components of speech production mechanism when compared to normal speech. The objective of this study is to capture the deviations in features related to the excitation source component of speech, and to develop a system for automatic recognition of emotions based on these deviations. The emotions considered for this study are: a...
متن کاملAnalysis of Lombard speech using excitation source information
This paper examines the Lombard effect on the excitation features in speech production. These features correspond mostly to the acoustic features at subsegmental (< pitch period) level. The instantaneous fundamental frequency F0 (i.e., pitch), the strength of excitation at the instants of significant excitation and a loudness measure reflecting the sharpness of the impulse-like excitation aroun...
متن کاملFeatures for speaker and language identification
Abstract In this paper we examine several features derived from the speech signal for the purpose of identification of speaker or language from the speech signal. Most of the current systems for speaker and language identification use spectral features from short segments of speech. There are additional features which can be derived from the residual of the speech signal, which correspond to th...
متن کاملThe Function of Pitch Range Variations in Samples of Emotional Expressions in Persian
This study aims at investigating the interface between emotion and intonation patterns (more specifically, duration and pitch amplitude of speech). To this end, the acoustic properties of spectral parameters related to speech prosody are investigated. The results of acoustic and Statistical analysis show that mean level and range of FO in the contours vary strongly as a function of the degree o...
متن کاملStatistical Variation Analysis of Formant and Pitch Frequencies in Anger and Happiness Emotional Sentences in Farsi Language
Setup of an emotion recognition or emotional speech recognition system is directly related to how emotion changes the speech features. In this research, the influence of emotion on the anger and happiness was evaluated and the results were compared with the neutral speech. So the pitch frequency and the first three formant frequencies were used. The experimental results showed that there are lo...
