Evaluation of the effects of speech enhancement algorithms on the detection of fundamental frequency of speech

The estimation of the fundamental frequency (F0) in speech is a very important task that has been addressed by many researchers. F0 estimation can be used to separate two kind of frames from an utterance, those where the vocal folds vibrate (voiced …

Evaluation of wavelet measures on automatic detection of emotion in noisy and telephony speech signals

Detection of emotion in humans from speech signals is a recent research field. One of the scenarios where this field has been applied is in situations where the human integrity and security are at risk. In this paper we are propossing a set of …

New computer aided device for real time analysis of speech of people with Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the coordination of muscles and limbs, including those responsible of the speech production. The lack of control ofthe limbs and muscles involved in the speech production process …

Analysis of the discriminant capacity of phonation, articulation and prosody features from patients with Parkinson's disease on preclinic and advanced stages for the development of computer aided tools for supporting the diagnosis and monitoring of the patients

Design and implementation of an embedded system for real time analysis of speech from people with parkinson's disease

Parkinsons disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the coordination and regulation of muscles and limbs, including those responsible of speech production, resulting alterations in voice intelligibility. It is already demonstrated …
