A comparison between human vowel normalization strategies and acoustic vowel transformation techniques
Perceptual and acoustic representations of vowel data were compared directly to evaluate the perceptual relevance of several speaker normalization transformations. The acoustic representations consisted of raw F0 and formant data. The perceptual representations were obtained through an experimental procedure, with phonetically trained listeners as subjects. The raw acoustic data were transforme...
متن کاملAn acoustic analysis of the vowel space in young and old cochlear-implant speakers.
The main purpose of this study was to compare acoustically the vowel spaces of two groups of cochlear implantees (CI) with two age-matched normal hearing groups. Five young test persons (15-25 years) and five older test persons (55-70 years) with CI and two control groups of the same age with normal hearing were recorded. The speech material consisted of five German vowels V = /a, e, i, o, u/ i...
متن کاملAcoustic features of vowel production in Mandarin speakers of English
English vowel productions were acoustically examined in a group of native Mandarin speakers. The first and second formant frequencies (F1 & F2) of 11 English vowels were examined in the syllable-level productions of 40 Mandarin speakers compared to 40 American English speakers. Results of the comparative acoustic analysis indicated that the Mandarin speakers differed significantly from the Amer...
متن کاملVowel-vowel Planning in Acoustic and Muscle Space
The objective of this research is to investigate the planning and control of vowel-to-vowel sequences using a computer model of the vocal tract. The vocal tract model, which is based on a French male speaker, consists of a biomechanical tongue model (Perrier et al., 2003) with the addition of jaw (rotation and translation) and lip (opening and protrusion) movements. A comparison of acoustic dat...
متن کاملFeature space normalization in adverse acoustic conditions
We study the effect of different feature space normalization techniques in adverse acoustic conditions. Recognition tests are reported for cepstral mean and variance normalization, histogram normalization, feature space rotation, and vocal tract length normalization on a German isolated word recognition task with large acoustic mismatch. The training data was recorded in clean office environmen...
