An Auditory Vocoder Resynthesis of Speech from an Auditory Mellin Representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An auditory Mellin transform has been proposed to segregate information about the size and shape of the vocal tract automatically; the process is also independent of glottal pitch. In this paper, we describe a method for resynthesizing speech from the Mellin representation using a high quality vocoder (STRAIGHT), and a nonlinear function to map between the two representations of speech. This enables us to replay the coded speech to evaluate the glottal event detector that precedes the Mellin transform, and the spectral information recovered from the Mellin representation.

Sound resynthesis from Auditory Mellin Image using STRAIGHT
We propose an Auditory VOCODER to resynthesize sound from the Auditory Mellin Image which is an auditory representation that segregates the size and shape information of incoming sound. The sound resynthesis part consists of three techniques: the STRAIGHT VOCODER [2], frequency-warping cepstral analysis [4,12], and nonlinear multivariate regression analysis (MRA). We explain these methods and t...

متن کاملTesting an auditory model by resynthesis
This paper describes the use of a resynthesis strategy in testing an auditory model, specifically a version of the DOMIN model. The steps by which the original speech is processed to produce a reduced, auditory (DOMIN) spectrum are described; subsequently, the reduced representation is used to produce resynthesised speech having the same auditory spectrum. In light ofthis equivalence, the exten...

Objective: This study was a basic investigation of the ability of concurrent speech segregation in hearing impaired children. Concurrent segregation is one of the fundamental components of auditory scene analysis and plays an important role in speech perception. In the present study, we compared auditory late responses or ALRs between hearing impaired and normal children. Materials & Methods...
