A novel method to represent the speech signals by using language and speaker independent predefined functions sets

Abstract

In this paper a new modeling method of speech signals is introduced. The proposed method is based on the generation of the so-called Predefined Signature S={s(R)(t)} and Envelope Function E = {e(K)(t)} Sets (PSEFS). These function sets are independent of any speaker and any language. Once the speech signals are divided into frames with selected lengths, then each frame signal piece X-i(t) is synthesized by means of the mathematical form of x(i)(t)=C(i)e(K)(t)s(R)(t). In this representation, C-i is called the frame coefficient, s(R)(t) and e(K)(t) are properly assigned from the PSEFS respectively. It is shown that the proposed method provides fast reconstruction and substantial compression with acceptable hearing quality.
