Exponential sinusoidal modeling of transitional speech segments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A generalized sinusoidal model for speech signal processing is studied. The main feature of the model is that the amplitude of each sinusoidal component is allowed to vary exponentially with time. We propose to use the model in transitional speech segments such as speech onsets and voiced/unvoiced transitions. Computer simulations with natural speech signals indicate substantial better modeling performance in both transitional and voiced regions compared with the traditional constant-amplitude sinusoidal model.

Transitional speech segments modeling by matching pursuit with a dictionary based on the psychoacoustic adaptive WP
In this paper transitional speech segments modeling by matching pursuit is proposed. The dictionary for matching pursuit is composed of wavelet functions that implement of psychoacoustic adaptive wavelet filter bank. Psychoacoustically motivated entropy based cost functions allow to greatly minimizing a number of time-frequency atoms in wavelet packet (WP) dictionary. The given transient modeli...
متن کاملPerceptual audio modeling with exponentially damped sinusoids
This paper presents the derivation of a new perceptual model that represents speech and audio signals by a sum of exponentially damped sinusoids. Compared to a traditional sinusoidal model, the exponential sinusoidal model (ESM) is better suited to model transient segments that are readily found in audio signals. Total least squares (TLS) algorithms are applied for the automatic extraction of t...
متن کاملA singing voice synthesis system based on sinusoidal modeling
Although sinusoidal models have been demonstrated to be capable of high-quality musical instrument synthesis [1], speech modi cation [2], and speech synthesis [3], little exploration of the application of these models to the synthesis of singing voice has been undertaken. In this paper, we propose a system framework similar to that employed in concatenation-based text-to-speech synthesizers, an...
متن کاملSpeech coding with an analysis-by-synthesis sinusoidal model
We introduce a general and powerful approach to sinusoidal modeling of speech wherein a closed-loop Analysis-by-Synthesis (AbS) technique sequentially extracts the parameters for each sinusoidal component. Low bit-rate speech coding is achieved by efficiently constraining the allowed frequencies of sinusoidal components into sets of frequency intervals or bins. In conjunction with the closed-lo...
متن کاملSpeech concatenation and synthesis using an overlap-add sinusoidal model
In this paper, an algorithm for the concatenation of speech signal segments taken from disjoint utterances is presented. The algorithm is based on the Analysis-bySynthesis/Overlap-Add (ABS/OLA) sinusoidal model [1, 2, 3], which is capable of performing high quality pitchand time-scale modi cation of both speech and music signals. With the incorporation of concatenation and smoothing techniques,...
