A Novel Spectrum Estimation Algorithm Offering Enhanced Feature Resolution in LPC Spectra
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel formant estimation technique based on a pole-focusing mechanism applied to linear predictive coding (LPC) spectra is presented. The pole focusing technique is shown to provide superior feature resolution compared to standard LPC analysis. In its application to formant estimation from the speech signal, the technique is found to _be the antithesis of standard LPC analysis, requiring no preemphasis, and demanding use of very large model orders. The technique has the additional benefit of obviating any application of model-order determining criteria through its concurrent use of within-frame increasing model order and off-axis spectral estimation.

Improvement of the Classification of Hyperspectral images by Applying a Novel Method for Estimating Reference Reflectance Spectra
Hyperspectral image containing high spectral information has a large number of narrow spectral bands over a continuous spectral range. This allows the identification and recognition of materials and objects based on the comparison of the spectral reflectance of each of them in different wavelengths. Hence, hyperspectral image in the generation of land cover maps can be very efficient. In the hy...

Introduction: Amajor problem in the treatment of cancer is the lack of an appropriate method for the early diagnosis of the disease. The chemical reaction within an organ may be reflected in the form of proteomic patterns in the serum, sputum, or urine. Laser mass spectrometry is a valuable tool for extracting the proteomic patterns from biological samples. A major challenge in extracting such ...

The goal of multi-frame Super Resolution (SR) is to fuse multiple Low Resolution (LR) images to produce one High Resolution (HR) image. The major challenge of classic SR approaches is accurate motion estimation between the frames. To handle this challenge, fuzzy motion estimation method has been proposed that replaces value of each pixel using the weighted averaging all its neighboring pixels i...
متن کاملF0 estimation based on robust ELS complex speech analysis
A robust fundamental frequency (F0) estimation algorithm based on robust ELS (Extended Least Square) complexvalued speech analysis for an analytic speech signal is proposed in this paper. Speech spectrum can be accurately estimated in low frequencies since the analytic signal provides spectrum only over positive frequencies. The remarkable feature makes it possible to realize more accurate F0 e...
