APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SILENT VOICE RECOGNITION AND SPEAKING

摘要

An apparatus for recognizing and generating an unvoiced sound according to the present invention comprises: a plurality of passive radio frequency markers attached or inserted around the mouth of a deaf or a hearing-impaired person in order to recognize feature points around the mouth when the deaf or the hearing-impaired person generates the unvoiced sound; a data collecting part for collecting feature point data on three dimensional distance information of each marker from the passive radio frequency markers; a signal processing part for receiving the feature point data on the three dimensional distance information of each marker collected by the data collecting part, recognizing a syllable mapped with the feature point data on the three dimensional distance information of each marker and outputting a voice signal on the corresponding syllable; and a voice generator controller for outputting the voice signal, outputted by the signal processor, via a speaker. The present invention may obtain the feature point data on the three dimensional distance information of each marker from the passive radio frequency markers attached or inserted around the mouth of the deaf or the hearing-impaired person when the deaf or the hearing-impaired person generates the unvoiced sound, and may output the voice signal corresponding to its mapped syllable.
