Communications & Multimedia Signal Processing Vowel/Consonant Classification Discriminant feature used is the slope coefficient of a 1 st order polynomial of LP spectrum; Positive slope: Consonant; Negative slope: Vowel Confidence Scores of Formant Candidates The score quantifies how significant a pole is Score for Vowels: Mag(m) /BW(m) Score for Consonant: m*Mag(m) / BW(m) The candidate with highest score is interpolated with the closest formant candidate. The rest of formant candidates are sorted in ascending order. Interpolation function: Where W(m) is the weights Parallel Kalman Filters Two kalman filters: One for vowel segments, the other for consonant segments. Kalman Filter based Formant Track in Clean Speech
