基于音素HMM模型语音转换

通过对语音转换的研究,提出了一种把源说话人特征转换为目标说话人特征的方法。语音转换特征参数分为两类:(1)频谱特征参数;(2)基音和声调模式。分别描述信号模型和转换方法。频谱特征用基于音素的2维HMMS建模,F0轨迹用来表示基音和音调。用基音同步叠加法对基音周期﹑声调和语速进行变换。

Voice Conversion Using Phoneme-dependent HMMS

This paper presents a voice conversion method based on transformation of characteristic features of source speaker towards a target.Voice characteristic features are grouped into two main categories:(1)the spectral features at formants;(2)the pitch and intonation patterns.Signal modeling and transformation methods for each group of voice features are outlined.The spectral features at formants are modeled using a set of two-dimension phoneme-dependent HMMS.F0 contour is used for modeling the pitch and intonation patterns of speech.A PSOLA based method is employed for transformation of pitch ,intonation patterns and speaking rate.
