Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency contour for Thai TonesSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In Thai, tone is an essential feature of a prosodic syllable to identify the meanings of that syllable or that part of word. To generate the tonal speech with natural prosody, it is needed to manage the fundamental frequency (F0) of the speech appropriately. A successful approach of structural modeling from Mandarin Chinese has been adapted to model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Noises on Fujisaki’s Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Modeling of fundamental frequency (F0) contour plays an important role on the natural speech processing, since F0 is an important speech feature defining the human speech prosody. In Thai, there are four main dialects spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Environmental noises are also plays an important role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFujisaki’s Model of Thai’s Fundamental Frequency Contours with Environmental NoisesSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: An important human speech feature is the fundamental frequency (F0) contour which represents the speech prosody. It indicates the naturalness and intelligibility of the speech. Modeling of fundamental frequency contour was an essential procedure in the natural speech processing. In speech communication, environmental noise plays an essential role in damaging the digital communication quality. The study of effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 28 Jun 2012 · 7,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Optimal Approach for Medical Image AnalysisJ. Umamaheswari, G. RadhamaniProblem statement: Image segmentation is the process that subdivides an image into its constituent parts and extracts the objects. It is one of the most critical tasks in automatic image analysis because the subdivided results will affect all the subsequent processes of image analysis, such as object representation and description, feature measurement and even the following higher level tasks such … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 6 Jun 2012 · 9,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThai Expressive Speech Processing Technology: A ReviewSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: The studies on Thai expressive speech or emotional speech have been conducted for years. Most of them are expected to analysis the characteristics of Thai expressive speech. However, the conclusive reviews on these studies have not been conducted for further study on the speech technology or application of Thai expressive speech. Approach: The review of research on Thai … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Jan 2012 · 6,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai Tones using Tone-Geometrical ModelSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In tonal language speech; such as Thai, Mandarin and Vietnam, tone is an important feature of a syllable that must be taken into consideration, since tone is a supra-segmental feature in the speech prosody. Modeling of tone with high accuracy could enhance the quality of synthesized speech in the speech synthesis system. This study focuses on a model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFujisaki's Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In general, there are a number of rural dialects in Thai. However, four dialects are mainly spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Recognizing and synthesizing Thai speech with different dialects are consequently difficult. Approach: Prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 19 Nov 2010 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai Expressive SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Appropriate modeling of fundamental Frequency (F0) contour for speech is a key factor to preserve the quality of speech prosody. One successful approach has been conducted for tonal language of Mandarin Chinese. It is based on the assumption that the behavioral characteristics of vocal-fold elongation in vibration could be approximated by those of a simple forced vibrating system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai Expressive Speech Using Fujisaki's ModelSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody effects on not only the naturalness but also the intelligibility of speech. Focusing on synthesis of Thai expressive speech, a number of systems has been developed for years. However, the expressive speech with various speaking styles has not been accomplished. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
