Vocal tract resonance tracking using a target-guided constraint |
摘要 |
<p>A method and apparatus map a set of vocal tract resonant frequencies, together with their corresponding bandwidths, into a simulated acoustic feature vector in the form of LPC cepstrum by calculating a separate function for each individual vocal tract resonant frequency/bandwidth and summing the result to form an element of the simulated feature vector. The simulated feature vector is applied to a model along with an input feature vector to determine a probability that the set of vocal tract resonant frequencies is present in a speech signal. Under one embodiment, the model includes a target-guided transition model that provides a probability of a vocal tract resonant frequency based on a past vocal tract resonant frequency and a target for the vocal tract resonant frequency. Under another embodiment, the phone segmentation is provided by an HMM system and is used to precisely determine which target value to use at each frame. <IMAGE></p> |
