Speech formant frequency estimation: evaluating a nonstationary analysis method
The objective of this paper is to critically evaluate the performance of a nonstationary analysis method in tracking speech formant frequencies as they change with time due to the natural variations in the vocal-tract system during speech production. The method of instantaneous frequency estimation is applied to the tracking of speech formant frequencies to observe the time variations in the vo...
متن کاملA method for glottal formant frequency estimation
This study presents a method for estimation of glottal formant frequency (Fg) from speech signals. Our method is based on zeros of z-transform decomposition of speech spectra into two spectra : glottal flow dominated spectrum and vocal tract dominated spectrum. Peak picking is performed on the amplitude spectrum of the glottal flow dominated part. The algorithm is tested on synthetic speech. It...
متن کاملFrequency Tracking: LMS and RLS Applied to Speech Formant Estimation
1) Introduction Several speech processing algorithms assume the signal is stationary during short intervals (approximately 20 to 30 ms). This assumption is valid for several applications, but it is too restrictive in some contexts. This work investigates the application of adaptive signal processing to the problem of estimating the formant frequencies of speech. Two algorithms were implemented ...
متن کاملFormant estimation for speech recognition
This paper presents a new method for estimating formant frequencies. The formant model is based on a digital resonator. Each resonator represents a segment of the short-time power spectrum. The complete spectrum is modeled by a set of digital resonators connected in parallel. An algorithm based on dynamic programming produces both the model parameters and the segment boundaries that optimally m...
متن کاملLarge-scale analysis of formant frequency estimation variability in conversational telephone speech
We quantitatively investigate how the telephone channel and regional dialect might impact formant frequencies estimates extracted from tools commonly used in law enforcement. The telephone channel and regional dialect are important factors in forensic phonetics. In 90% of forensic cases, the speech sample in question is recorded after transmission via telephone (Byrne and Foulkes, 2004). In add...
