Estimation of a physical model of the vocal folds via dynamic programming techniques

چکیده
This work presents a procedure for the estimation of a two-mass vocal fold model starting from a time-varying target ow signal. The model is specied by a large number of physical parameters, computed as functions of four articulatory parameters (three laryngeal muscle activations and subglottal pressure). Flow waveforms synthesized by the model are characterized by means of a set of typical voice source quantication acoustic parameters. Given a sequences of target acoustic parameters, dynamic programming techniques and interpolation based on Radial Basis Function Networks are used to derive sequences of articulatory parameters that lead to resynthesis of the target signal.

Dynamic digital image correlation of a dynamic physical model of the vocal folds
An experimental study of the vibratory deformation of the human vocal folds was conducted. Experiments were performed using model vocal folds made of soft silicone rubber, and an air supply system. The model self-oscillated at fundamental frequencies and flow rates typical of the human folds. Time-averaged mass flow rates and transglottal pressures were measured along with the sound pressure up...
متن کاملRole of the Internal Superior Laryngeal Nerve in the Motor Responses of Vocal Cords and the Related Voice Acoustic Changes
Background: Repeated efforts by researchers to impose voice changes by laryngeal surface electrical stimulation (SES) have come to no avail. This present pre-experimental study employed a novel method for SES application so as to evoke the motor potential of the internal superior laryngeal nerve (ISLN) and create voice changes.Methods: Thirty-two normal individuals (22 females and 10 males) par...
متن کاملInfluence of a constriction in the near field of the vocal folds: physical modeling and experimental validation.
The involvement of the ventricular folds is often observed in human phonation and, in particular, in pathological and or some throat-singing phonation. This study aims to explore and model the possible aerodynamic interaction between the ventricular and vocal folds using suitable in vitro setups allowing steady and unsteady flow conditions. The two experimental setups consist of a rigid and a s...

The key elements in generating speech are the vocal folds and the vocal tract. This paper deals with the modelling of the creation of Czech vowels by means of vocal folds model and the models of the vocal tracts. The folds model was devised by using the finite elements method and vocal tract models were designed by means of magnetic resonance. Source sound created by means of the " air bubbles ...
متن کاملAn Effective Attack-Resilient Kalman Filter-Based Approach for Dynamic State Estimation of Synchronous Machine
Kalman filtering has been widely considered for dynamic state estimation in smart grids. Despite its unique merits, the Kalman Filter (KF)-based dynamic state estimation can be undesirably influenced by cyber adversarial attacks that can potentially be launched against the communication links in the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). To enhance the security of KF-based state estimation, in this paper...
