Direct estimation of the vocal tract shape by inverse filtering of acoustic speech waveforms
Abstract
This paper describes a new method for estimating the vocal tract area function directly from the acoustic speech waveform. Dynamic changes of the area functions and formants in voiced speech sounds are obtainable. The filtering processes of the inverse filter model and an acoustic tube model of speech are analyzed and they are shown to be identical, with the reflection coefficients in the acoustic tube model as a common factor, thus making possible the extraction of the reflection coefficients by the inverse filter processing of the speech signal. The discrete area function can easily be obtained from the set of reflection coefficients. Analysis examples for vowels, diphthongs, and consonants in vowel-consonant-vowel utterances are given.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
