An overview of the background and maths behind linear-prediction methods for modelling the vocal tract as a filter.
Handbook of phonetic sciences – Ch 20 – Intro to Signal Processing for Speech (Sections 6-7)
Written for a non-technical audience, this gently introduces some key concepts in speech signal processing. Read sections 6-7.
Handbook of phonetic sciences – Ch 20 – Intro to Signal Processing for Speech (Sections 1-5)
Written for a non-technical audience, this gently introduces some key concepts in speech signal processing. Read sections 1-5 (up to and including ‘Fourier Analysis’).
Taylor – Section 12.7 – Pitch and epoch detection
Only an outline of the main approaches, with little technical detail. Useful as a summary of why these tasks are harder than you might think.
