[PDF][PDF] Non-Local Estimation of Speech Signal for Vowel Onset Point Detection in Varied Environments.

A Kumar, S Shahnawazuddin, G Pradhan - INTERSPEECH, 2017 - researchgate.net
Vowel onset point (VOP) is an important information extensively employed in speech

Sequential use of spectral models to reduce deletion and insertion errors in vowel detection

HB Kashani, A Sayadiyan - Computer Speech & Language, 2018 - Elsevier
From both perspectives of speech production and speech perception, vowels as syllable
nuclei can be considered as the most significant speech events. Detection of vowel events …

Vowel detection using a perceptually-enhanced spectrum matching conditioned to phonetic context and speaker identity

HB Kashani, A Sayadiyan, H Sheikhzadeh - Speech Communication, 2017 - Elsevier
Vowel detection methods usually adopt a two-stage procedure for detecting vowel
landmarks. First, a temporal objective contour (TOC), as a time-varying measure of vowel …

VOP detection for read and conversation speech using CWT coefficients and phone boundaries

K Tripathi, KS Rao - Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized …, 2022 - Springer
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for accurate detection of vowel onset points
(VOPs). A VOP is the instant at which a vowel begins in a speech signal. Precise …
