A review of glottal waveform analysis

Date
2007
Abstract
Glottal inverse filtering is of potential use in a wide range of speech processing applications. As the process of voice production is, to a first order approximation, a source-filter process, then obtaining source and filter components provides for a flexible representation of the speech signal for use in processing applications. In certain applications the desire for accurate inverse filtering is more immediately obvious, e.g., in the assessment of laryngeal aspects of voice quality and for correlations between acoustics and vocal fold dynamics, the resonances of the vocal tract should firstly be removed. Similarly, for assessment of vocal performance, trained singers may wish to obtain quantitative data or feedback regarding their voice at the level of the larynx.
