A New Method of Voiced/Unvoiced Classification Based on Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new method for making v/uv decision is developed which uses a multi-feature v/uv classification algorithm based on the analysis of cepstral peak, zero crossing rate, and autocorrelation function (ACF) peak of short-time segments of the speech signal by using some clustering methods. This v/uv classifier achieved excellent results for identification of voiced and unvoiced segments of speech.

Denoising Of Speech Signal By Classification Into Voiced, Unvoiced And Silence Region
In this paper, a speech enhancement method based on the classification of voiced, unvoiced and silence regions and using stationary wavelet transform is presented. To prevent the quality of degradation of speech during the denoising process, speech is first classified into voiced, unvoiced and silence regions. An experimentally verified criterion based on the short time energy process has been ...
متن کاملSNR Classification System Based on Classification of Voiced/Unvoiced Signal
This paper proposes a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) classification system based on a classification of voiced/unvoiced signal using a time-delay neural network for noise reduction in speech that is degraded by background noises. As such, the proposed system detects voiced and unvoiced sections, then reduces the noise signal for each input frame using the time-delay neural network.
متن کاملUnvoiced speech segregation based on CASA and spectral subtraction
Unvoiced speech separation is an important and challenging problem that has not received much attention. We propose a CASA based approach to segregate unvoiced speech from nonspeech interference. As unvoiced speech does not contain periodic signals, we first remove the periodic portions of a mixture including voiced speech. With periodic components removed, the remaining interference becomes mo...
متن کاملUniform concatenative excitation model for synthesising speech without voiced/unvoiced classification
In general, speech synthesis using the source-filter model of speech production requires the classification of speech into two classes (voiced and unvoiced) which is prone to errors. For voiced speech, the input of the synthesis filter is an approximately periodic excitation, whereas it is a noise signal for unvoiced. This paper proposes an excitation model which can be used to synthesise both ...
متن کاملUsing Noisy Speech to Study the Robustness of a Continuous F0 Modelling Method in HMM-based Speech Synthesis
In parametric text-to-speech synthesis using Hidden Markov Model (HMM), the fundamental frequency (F0) parameter modelling is important because it has a direct effect on the prosody of synthetic speech. F0 is typically modelled by a discrete distribution for unvoiced speech and a continuous distribution for voiced, by using a multi-space distribution (MSD). However, F0 modelling using MSD-HMM i...
