A bottom-up procedure to extract periodicity structure of voiced sounds and its application to represent and restoration of pathological voices

چکیده
a bottom up procedure for extracting repetitive structures in speech sounds has been developed on the basis of a temporally stable representation of periodic sounds (tandeM) and adaptive spectral smoothing (straiGht). the proposed method evaluates local periodic structures in the frequency domain to detect repetition in the time domain. a group of dedicated periodicity detectors are combined to construct the proposed procedure for a repetitive structure extractor called an excitation structure extractor (xsx). the proposed procedure is tested using a set of stylized test signals with artificial shimmer and jitter to investigate the applicability of such aperiodic signals. [the test results indicated that the proposed procedure outperformed in descriptive power of those complex excitation modes over existing f0 detectors. finally, the proposed procedure is applied to analyze pathological voice examples to investigate the feasibility of voice quality restoration applications.

Periodicity extraction for voiced sounds with multiple periodicity
A periodicity extraction method is introduced to analyze voiced sounds with a complex excitation behavior. Although general voiced sound has only one periodicity, some voiced sounds such as the pathological voice and the singing voice often have multiple periodicities. A method for estimating multiple periodicities from voiced sounds to deal with these kinds of voices is proposed in this articl...
متن کاملHybrid parametric-physiological glottal modelling with application to voice quality assessment.
A glottal model based on physical constraints is proposed. The model describes the vocal fold as a simple oscillator, i.e. a damped mass-spring system. The oscillator is coupled with a nonlinear block, accounting for fold interaction with the airflow. The nonlinear block is modelled as a regressor-based functional with weights to be identified, and a pitch-synchronous identification procedure i...
