Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour of Thai Expressive Speech using Fujisaki's Model and Structural 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. 7, Issue 8 · 9 Aug 2011 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Robust Hybrid Approach to Enhance Speech in Mobile Communication SystemsManimegalai Govindan Sumithra, Keppana Gounder Thanuskodi, Bharathi DeepaProblem statement: The received voice signal in mobile communication is often disturbed by background noise and hence there is a need for good noise reduction methods for enhancing Speech. It is well known that denoising is a compromise between the removal of the largest possible amount of noise and the preservation of signal integrity. To address this issue, a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Noises on the Analysis of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In speech communication, noises from surrounding environments affect the communication quality with various aspects. The received speech quality should be analyzed to see how the important noises reduce the speech quality so that we can eliminate them in an appropriate way. Approach: This study presents a study on the analysis of the noise effects on Thai speech. Four … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 6,827 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 abstractAnalysis of Decision Trees in Context Clustering of Hidden Markov Model Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In Thai speech synthesis using Hidden Markov model (HMM) based synthesis system, the tonal speech quality is degraded due to tone distortion. This major problem must be treated appropriately to preserve the tone characteristics of each syllable unit. Since tone brings about the intelligibility of the synthesized speech. It is needed to establish the tone questions and other … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 6,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTonal Language Speech Compression Based on a Bitrate Scalable Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Prediction CoderSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Speech compression is an important issue in the modern digital speech communication. The functionality of bitrates scalability also plays significant role, since the capacity of communication system varies all the time. When considering tonal speech, such as Thai, tone plays important role on the naturalness and the intelligibility of the speech, it must be treated appropriately. Therefore these … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThai Speech Coding Based On Conjugate-Structure Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction AlgorithmSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In mobile communication, speech coding aims at compressing the speech with lowest bitrate and highest quality for standard languages such as English, German and French. As for other languages with different uttering styles, the encoded speech quality is not guaranteed at the same bitrate. The appropriate evaluation should be performed to develop the speech quality by applying some … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Pitch Delay Resolution Technique for Tonal Language Speech Coding Based on Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Prediction AlgorithmSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, speech coding is an important process that should be taken into account, since the quality of coded speech depends on the efficiency of the speech coding algorithm. As for tonal language which tone plays important role not only on the naturalness and also the intelligibility of the speech, tone must be treated appropriately. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 6,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Predictive Speech Coder with Fine Granularity Scalability for Tonal LanguageSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: The flexible bit-rate speech coder plays an important role in the modern speech communication. The MP-CELP speech coder which is a candidate of the MPEG4 natural speech coder supports a flexible and wide bit-rate range. However, a fine scalability had not been included. To support finer scalability of the coding rate, it had been studied in this study. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 24 Nov 2010 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTone Question of Tree Based Context Clustering for Hidden Markov Model Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In HMM-based Thai speech synthesis, tone is an important issue that brings about the intelligibility of the synthesized speech. Tone distortion resulted from imbalance of the training data should be appropriately treated. Approach: This study described an HMM-based speech synthesis system for Thai language. In the system, spectrum, pitch and state duration are modeled simultaneously in a unified … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 9 Nov 2010 · 6,820 accessesView PDFCite
