Exponential sinusoidal modeling of transitional speech segments
Jesper Rindom Jensen, Søren Holdt Jensen, E. Hansen · 1999
A generalized sinusoidal model for speech signal processing is studied. The main feature of the model is that the amplitude of each sinusoidal component is allowed to vary exponentially with time. We propose to use the model in transitional speech segments such as speech onsets and voiced/unvoiced transitions. Computer simulations with natural speech signals indicate substantial better modeling performance in both transitional and voiced regions compared with the traditional constant-amplitude sinusoidal model.
