Inverse Scattering for Vowel Articulation with Frequency-domain Data
نویسنده
چکیده
An inverse scattering problem is analyzed for vowel articulation in the human vocal tract. When a unit amplitude, monochromatic, sinusoidal volume velocity is sent from the glottis towards the lips, various types of scattering data are used to examine whether the cross sectional area of the vocal tract can uniquely be determined by each data set. Among the data sets considered are the absolute value of the pressure measured at a microphone placed at some distance from the lips, the pressure at the lips, and the transfer function from the glottis to the lips. In case of nonuniqueness, it is indicated what additional information may be used for the unique determination.

A Time-Domain Method for Shape Reconstruction of a Target with Known Electrical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper uses a method for shape reconstruction of a 2-D homogeneous object with arbitrary geometry and known electrical properties. In this method, the object is illuminated by a Gaussian pulse, modulated with sinusoidal carrier plane wave and the time domains’ footprint signal due to object presence is used for the shape reconstruction. A nonlinear feedback loop is used to minimize the diff...
متن کاملInverse scattering problem for the Impulsive Schrodinger equation with a polynomial spectral dependence in the potential
In the present work, under some di¤erentiability conditions on the potential functions , we rst reduce the inverse scattering problem (ISP) for the polynomial pencil of the Scroedinger equation to the corresponding ISP for the generalized matrix Scrödinger equation . Then ISP will be solved in analogy of the Marchenko method. We aim to establish an e¤ective algorithm for uniquely reconstructin...
متن کاملInverse obstacle scattering in the time domain
This work is a study of the extension of an inverse obstacle scattering algorithm for fixed, single-frequency data to multi-frequency time-dependent settings. The inversion algorithm is based on the point source method, which reconstructs scattered fields pointwise with respect to frequency. We use Fourier transforms to obtain the time-dependent scattered fields as superpositions of single-freq...
متن کاملThe Percentage of Vowel Correct Scale in Persian Speaking Children
Objectives: The Percentage of vowel correct (PVC) is one of the indices in the development of articulation and phonological skills in children that can be measured with speech samples that could be extracted from the single word or connected speech tests. The aim of this study is to introduce the PVC scale in Persian speaking children and investigate its validity and reliability. Methods: Th...
