Voice quality conversion using interactive evolution of prosodic control

Using Prosodic and Voice Quality Features for Paralinguistic Information Extraction

The use of voice quality features in addition to prosodic features is proposed for automatic extraction of paralinguistic information (like speech acts, attitudes and emotions) in dialog speech. Perceptual experiments and acoustic analysis are conducted for monosyllabic utterances spoken in several speaking styles, carrying a variety of paralinguistic information. Acoustic parameters related wi...

Using voice-quality measurements with prosodic and spectral features for speaker diarization

Jitter and shimmer voice-quality measurements have been successfully used to detect voice pathologies and classify different speaking styles. In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of jitter and shimmer voice measurements in the framework of the speaker diarization task. The combination of jitter and shimmer voice-quality features with the long-term prosodic and shortterm spectral feature...

Voice activation using prosodic features

In this paper we propose a voice activation method based on prosodic keyword verification. In current voice activation systems features like the fundamental frequency contour have not been considered so far. Normally a continuous listening word spotter is used to detect a certain predefined keyword. We conducted an experiment which shows that people emphasize this keyword when they address a re...

Object Level Strategy for Spectral Quality Assessment of High Resolution Pan-sharpen Images

Panchromatic and multi-spectral images produced by the remote sensing satellites are fused together to provide a multi-spectral image with a high spatial resolution at the same time. The spectral quality of the fused images is very important because the quality of a large number of remote sensing products depends on it. Due to the importance of the spectral quality of the fused images, its eval...
