A Study on Extract of Vocal Tract Characteristic after Concealing the Vocal Cord Property

성문특성이 제거된 성도특성 추출에 관한 연구

Since the amplitude of voiced fall off at about -20dB/decade, dynamic range is often compressed prior to spectral analysis so that details at weak, high frequencies may be visible. Preemphasizing the speech, either by differentiating the analog speech $s_a$(t) prior to A/D conversion or by differencing the discrete-time s(n)=$s_a$(nT), compensating for falloff at high frequencies. The most common form of preemphasis is y(n)=s(n)-As(n-1), where A typically lies between 0.9 and 1.0 and reflects the degree of pre-emphasis. In this paper, we proposed that A is adjusted at each time by measuring the slope of envelope in frequency domain.
