Modeling of a speech production system based on MRI measurement of three-dimensional vocal tract shapes during fricative consonant phonation
This study, based on the measurement of three-dimensional (3-D) vocal tract shapes during fricative consonant phonation, presents a realistic modeling of a human speech production system. The 3-D shapes of a vocal tract and a dental crown were measured using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A male subject was asked to produce the fricatives /s/ and /6/ while wearing a dental crown plate that c...
متن کاملVoice mimic system using an articulatory codebook for estimation of vocal tract shape
Voice mimic systems using articulatory codebooks require an initial estimate of the vocal tract shape in the vicinity of the global optimum. For this purpose, we need to gather a large set of corresponding articulatory and acoustic data in the articulatory codebook. Thus, searching and accessing the codebook becomes a di cult task. In this paper, the design of an articulatory codebook is presen...
متن کاملMorphological and acoustic analysis of the vocal tract using a multi-speaker volumetric MRI dataset
The shape of the vocal tract was analyzed from both morphological and acoustic perspectives for ten male speakers of Japanese. A volumetric MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) measurement was performed while each speaker uttered each of the five Japanese vowels. The cross-sectional vocal-tract area function was computed from the MRI dataset and the resulting 50 vocal-tract shapes were analyzed sta...
متن کاملComparison of vocal tract transfer functions calculated using one-dimensional and three-dimensional acoustic simulation methods
Acoustic characteristics of the vocal tract have been investigated extensively in the literature using a onedimensional (1D) acoustic simulation method. Because the 1D method assumes plane wave propagation only, it is recognized to be valid only in the low frequency region (below about 4 or 5 kHz). Recently, a three-dimensional (3D) acoustic simulation method was developed, to obtain more preci...
متن کاملToward articulatory-acoustic models for liquid approximants based on MRI and EPG data. Part II. The rhotics.
Magnetic resonance images of the vocal tract during sustained production of [symbol: see text] by four native American English talkers are employed for measuring vocal-tract dimensions and for morphological analysis of the 3D vocal tract and tongue shapes. Electropalatography contact profiles are used for studying inter- and intra-talker variabilities. The vocal tract during the production of [...
