Detection of Glottal Closure Instant for Voiced Speech Using Wavelet Transform

Abstract

|
During the phonation of voiced sounds, instants exist where the glottis is opened or closed, due to the periodic vibration of the vocal cord. When closed, this is called the glottal closure instant(GCI) or epoch. The correct detection of the GCI is one of the important porblems in speech processing for pitch detection, pitch synchronous analysis, and so onl. Recently, it has been shown that the local maxima points of the wavelet transformed speech signal correspond to the GCIs of speech signal. In this paper, we investigate the accuracy of GCIs estimated from this wavelet transformed speech signal. For this purpose we compare them with the negative peak points of the differentiated EGG signal the represents the actual GCIs of speech signal.
