Analysis-synthesis of audio signal

摘要

The present invention relates to an information extraction apparatus capable of analyzing an acoustic signal with accuracy and high efficiency. <??>An amplitude analysis section 32 determines whether or not an attack or release is contained on the basis of an amplitude value for each small region of an input time-series signal. When it is determined that there is an attack or release, an analysis region setting section 33 sets the portion from an attack position to a release position as an analysis region. A frequency analysis section 34 analyzes the input time-series signal by generalized harmonic analysis and outputs extracted waveform information. An extracted waveform synthesis section 35 synthesizes the extracted waveform information and outputs the information to a time-series compensation section 36. <??>The time-series compensation section 36 compensates the signal of the synthesized result with a signal outside the analysis region and outputs an extracted waveform time-series signal to a subtraction unit 37. The subtraction unit 37 generates a residual time-series signal from the input time-series signal and the extracted waveform time-series signal. The present invention can be applied to various audio apparatuses, voice recognition apparatuses, voice synthesis apparatuses, etc., for processing an acoustic signal. <IMAGE>
