A LF-pulse from a simple glottal flow model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a novel low-order massspring model of human vocal folds with incompressible 1D flow. Our model consists of three subsystems: a flow model, a nonsymmetric mass-spring model for the vocal folds, and a resonator representing the vocal tract (VT).

The spectral relevance of glottal-pulse parameters
The paper analyses how variations of the parameters of the Liljencrants-Fant (LF) model of glottal flow influence the speech spectrum, in order to determine the spectral relevance of these parameters. The effects of small parameter variations are described analytically. This analysis also gives an indication to what extent the LF parameters can be estimated reliably from the speech spectrum. Th...
متن کاملA computationally efficient alternative for the LF model and its perceptual evaluation
An alternative for the Liljencrants-Fant (LF) glottal-pulse model is presented. This alternative is derived from the Rosenberg model. Therefore, we call it the Rosenberg++ model. In the derivation use a general framework for glottal-pulse models. The Rosenberg++ model is described by the same set of T or R parameters as the LF model but has the advantage over the LF model that it is computation...
متن کاملThe perceptual relevance of glottal-pulse parameter variations
The perceptual relevance of changes to glottal-pulse parameters is studied. First, it is demonstrated that a distance measure based on excitation patterns can predict audibility discrimination thresholds for small changes to the R parameters of the Liljencrants-Fant (LF) model. Next, by using this measure the perceptual relevance of the LF parameters is quantified. Results are presented for a n...
متن کاملLF model based glottal source parameter estimation by extended Kalman filtering
Abstract — A new algorithm for glottal source parameter estimation of voiced speech based on the Liljencrants-Fant (LF) model is presented in this work. Each pitch period of the inverse filtered glottal flow derivative is divided into two phases according to the glottal closing instant and an extended Kalman filter is iteratively applied to estimate the shape controlling parameters for both pha...
متن کاملReshaping the Transformed LF Model: Generating the Glottal Source from the Waveshape Parameter Rd
Precise specification of the voice source would facilitate better modelling of expressive nuances in human spoken interaction. This paper focuses on the transformed version of the widely used LF voice source model, and proposes an algorithm which makes it possible to use the waveshape parameter Rd to directly control the LF pulse, for more effective analysis and synthesis of voice modulations. ...
