چکیده
This paper is aimed at to study LPC for Natural speech with different windowing techniques the effect of window shape on improving the speech quality by reducing the noise with the help of fixed and variable Windows with optimum shape. In the speech process signal corrupted by noise is segmented into frames and each segment is windowed using different Window with variation in the shape parameters. The windowed speech segment is transformed using Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). After applying the speech algorithms this signal is reconstructed back in time domain. It is observed in this study that the window shape place its role on the speech enhancement process. The quality of the enhanced speech was measured using five objective measures of speech enhancement process. This work proposed an optimum constant for the variable and fixed windows to decide its shape. Good results or reported. Keywords—DFT, LPC, Speech, Windowing, Quality measures, wavelet Transform, Speech Enhancement

Ill-conditioning and bandwidth expansion in linear prediction of speech
This paper examines schemes that modify linear prediction (LP) analysis for speech signals. First, techniques which improve the conditioning of the LP equations are examined. White noise compensation for the correlations is justified from the point of view of reducing the range of values which the predictor coefficients take on. The efficacy of the procedure is measured over a large speech data...
متن کاملPrediction of Epileptic Seizures in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) based on Cepstrum analysis and AR model of EEG signal
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of brain function caused by abnormal and excessive electrical neurons discharge in the brain. Seizures cause disturbances in consciousness that occur without prior notice, so their prediction ability, based on EEG data, can reduce stress and improve quality of life. An epileptic patient EEG data consists of five parts: Ictal, Inter-Ictal, pre-Ictal, Post-Ictal, an...
متن کاملA Wavelet-Based Technique Towards a More Natural Sounding Synthesized Speech
This paper presents a wavelet-based technique to increase the quality and naturalness of LPC based synthesized speech signals. The proposed method is based on wavelet decomposition. We first obtain the wavelet coefficients, and then the variances of the wavelet coefficient at the last four scales (correspond the higher frequency region) of the synthetic speech are replaced by the original varia...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملA New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...
