Joint Robust Voicing Detection and Pitch Estimation Based on Residual Harmonics
Thomas Drugman,Abeer Alwan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method using harmonic information in the residual signal is presented for pitch tracking in noisy conditions, which is used both for pitch estimation, as well as for determining the voicing segments of speech.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward articulatory-acoustic models for liquid approximants based on MRI and EPG data. Part I. The laterals
TL;DR: Magnetic resonance images of the vocal tract during the sustained phonation of /l/ (both dark and light allophones) by four native American English talkers are employed for measuring lengths, area functions, and cavity volumes and for the analysis of 3-D vocal tract and tongue shapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An articulatory study of fricative consonants using magnetic resonance imaging
TL;DR: Magnetic resonance images of the vocal tract during sustained production of the fricatives /s, sh, f, θ, z, yog, v, edh/ by four subjects are analyzed as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
adaptive mobile multimedia networks
Abeer Alwan,Rajive Bagrodia,Nicholas Bambos,Mario Gerla,Leonard Kleinrock,Joel E. Short,John Villasenor +6 more
TL;DR: Two layers of key importance in multimedia wireless network design are focused on, namely compression algorithms and adaptivity in the voice/video applications layer, and network algorithms at the wireless subnet layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age, sex, and vowel dependencies of acoustic measures related to the voice source.
TL;DR: Experimental results show that the three acoustic measures related to the voice source are dependent to varying degrees on age and vowel, while vowel dependencies are more prominent for female talkers suggesting a greater vocal tract-source interaction.
