Speech Synthesis from Surface Electromyogram Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although speech is the most natural means for communication among humans, there are situations in which speech is impossible or inappropriate. Examples include people with vocal cord damage, underwater communications or in noisy environments. To address some of the limitations of speech communication, nonacoustic communication systems using surface electromyogram signals have been proposed. However, most of the proposed techniques focus on recognizing or classifying the SEMG signals into a limited set of words. This approach shares similarities with isolated word recognition systems in that periods of silence between words are mandatory and they have difficulties in recognizing untrained words and continuous speech. A method for synthesizing speech from surface electromyogram (SEMG) signals in a frame-by-frame basis is presented. The input SEMG signals of spoken

متن کاملNon Invasive Technique Based Evaluation of Electromyogram Signals Using Statistical Algorithm
It is well known that Surface Electromyography is the activity that is being generated when voluntary contraction took place, so in this investigation, the study of Surface Electromyogram (SEMG) signals at different above-elbow muscles were carried out. These signals were easily acquired from surface of skin of the body using non-invasively house design of hardware system and various techniques...

متن کاملA Combination Method for Electrocardiogram Rejection from Surface Electromyogram
The electrocardiogram signal which represents the electrical activity of the heart provides interference in the recording of the electromyogram signal, when the electromyogram signal is recorded from muscles close to the heart. Therefore, due to impurities, electromyogram signals recorded from this area cannot be used. In this paper, a new method was developed using a combination of artificial ...
متن کاملVoiceless Bangla vowel recognition using sEMG signal
Some people cannot produce sound although their facial muscles work properly due to having problem in their vocal cords. Therefore, recognition of alphabets as well as sentences uttered by these voiceless people is a complex task. This paper proposes a novel method to solve this problem using non-invasive surface Electromyogram (sEMG). Firstly, eleven Bangla vowels are pronounced and sEMG signa...
