TimeWindows for Linear Prediction of Speech
نویسنده
چکیده
This report examines the time windows used for linear prediction (LP) analysis of speech. The goal of windowing is to create frames of data each of which will be used to calculate an autocorrelation sequence. Several factors enter into the choice of window. The time and spectral properties of Hamming and Hann windows are examined. We also consider windows based on Discrete Prolate Spherical Sequences including multiwindow analysis. Multiwindow analysis biases the estimation of the correlation more than single window analysis. Windows with frequency responses based on the ultraspherical polynomials are discussed. This family of windows includes Dolph-Chebyshev and Saramäki windows. This report also considers asymmetrical windows as used in modern speech coders. The frequency response of these windows is poor relative to conventional windows. Finally, the presence of a “pedestal” in the time window (as in the case of a Hamming window) is shown to be deleterious to the time evolution of the LP parameters.

متن کاملRole of Types of Inner Speech in the Prediction of Symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Somatization, and Distress in the Normal Population
Objective: It is extremely common for adults to use inner speech to regulate their behavior. Despite this, little is known about the underlying processes that may explain why people use inner speech differently. This study aimed to determine the relationship between different types of inner speech with symptoms of anxiety, depression, somatization, and distress in normal people. Methods: The r...

متن کاملEffect of MMSE- STSA Algorithm in CELP and MELPSpeech Coders
The role of speech coding is to reduce the bit rate by maintaining good speech quality. In order to improve the perceptual quality of degraded speech, different speech enhancement methods can be used. So, it is worthwhile to do research in joint systems (Speech Enhancement and Low bit rate speech coders). The work reported in this paper shows the improvement in the perceptual quality of speech ...
متن کاملUse of linear extrapolation based linear predictive cepstral features (LE-LPCC) for Tamil speech recognition
A new method, named linear prediction with linear extrapolation has been proposed in the past, which aims at modifying conventional linear prediction especially for speech coding applications. The basic idea is to reformulate the computation of linear prediction so that an optimal FIR-predictor of order 2p could be determined from p numberical values. In this work, we extend the above method to...
