Abstract
Conventional speech analysis methods based on linear prediction often fail to separate and estimate the source and vocal tract characteristics, especially in the case of voiced sounds, because of oversimplified assumptions regarding the voice source. A model is proposed, which is capable of expressing a wide range of voice source characteristics, and it is demonstrated that source and vocal-tract parameters can be well separated and correctly estimated, for vowels and vowel-like sounds, by combining the proposed source model with linear predictive analysis. The chapter extends an approach to apply to a wider variety of speech sounds including nasal vowels and nasal consonants, by combining the proposed source model with asset risk mitigation analysis (ARMA) analysis. The validity of the system was demonstrated by analysis of synthetic and natural speech.
