본 논문에서는 임의의 사람이 발성한 음성을 마치 다른 사람이 발성한 것처럼 들리도록 하는 음성변환 기술에 대하여 설명하고, 화자간의 성도 특성과 여기신호 특성 파라미터 변환을 독립적으로 수행하기 위한 변환방법을 실험한다. 성도 특성 파라미터 변환은 입력되는 음성신호에서 LPC (Linear Predictive Cofficient)켑스트럼을 추출하여 선형다변회귀모델에 적용하여 수행하고, 여기신호 특성 파라미터 변환은 잔차신호를 추출하여 LP-PSOLA (Linear Predictive-Pitch Synchronous Overlap and Add) 합성방식을 이용한 화자간의 평균 피치주기 변환으로 수행된다. 실험결과는 선형다변회귀모델과 LP-PSOLA 합성방식을 이용하여 변환된 음성이 대상화자의 음성에 유사함을 보여준다

This paper proposes a synchronization method of synthetic facial iamge sequences and synthetic speech. The LP-PSOLA synthesizes the speech for each demi-syllable. We provide the 3,040 demi-syllables for unlimited synthesis of the Korean speech. For synthesis of the Facial image sequences, the paper defines the total 11 fundermental patterns for the lip shapes of the Korean consonants and vowels. The fundermental lip shapes allow us to pronounce all Korean sentences. Image synthesis method assigns the fundermental lip shapes to the key frames according to the initial, the middle and the final sound of each syllable in korean input text. The method interpolates the naturally changing lip shapes in inbetween frames. The number of the inbetween frames is estimated from the duration time of each syllable of the synthetic speech. The estimation accomplishes synchronization of the facial image sequences and speech. In speech synthesis, disk memory is required to store 3,040 demi-syllable. In synthesis of the facial image sequences, however, the disk memory is required to store only one image, because all frames are synthesized from the neutral face. Above method realizes synchronization of system which can real the Korean sentences with the synthetic speech and the synthetic facial iage sequences.
