This paper focuses on the real-time implementation of an improved quality formant synthesis system by using the Texas Instruments TMS320C25 digital signal processor. Owing to using the phoneme as the basic synthesis unit, the required speech database capacity is fairly low, namely, 15 kbytes. Thus, the system cost is decreased rapidly.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119051,"journal":{"name":"China., 1991 International Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"318 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123408950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the physical meanings of the variables are more clear and the approach is more straight forward than the parameter equations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119051,"journal":{"name":"China., 1991 International Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121196441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An in-depth study on the characteristics, properties and variations of different isolated words with the same tone and spoken by various speakers has been carried out. Based on this study, several feature parameters that are pertinent to tone identification were defined. Although some of these parameters are dependent on the intrinsic pitch of the speaker, speaker dependence of the feature set is effectively removed by using a novel intrinsic pitch estimation procedure. A neural net was trained to perform tone classification by utilizing the feature set derived. An average speaker-independent recognition accuracy of around 84% was obtained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119051,"journal":{"name":"China., 1991 International Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"87 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114052906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional estimation, GCC processor, has poor performance when the signal to noise ratio is small. C.L. Nikias and others show that the performance of estimation can be improved if higher-order spectra(polyspectra) are used. But not only conventional bispectrum methods, but also parametric bispectrum methods are difficult to implement, due to complication of calculation, such as: matrix multiplication and inversion. In this paper, bispectra based time delay estimator, which has some genuine advantages in implementation, is developed by using the principle of generalized cross-spectra method proposed by Li, Qihu (1984).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119051,"journal":{"name":"China., 1991 International Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132630088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
