preparation example Construction

[0016] In conjunction with accompanying drawing, a kind of voice synthesis method based on voice radar and video of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0017] Step 1. Use the radar echo signal to obtain the fundamental frequency information of the voice, specifically: the non-contact voice radar sends a continuous sine wave to the speaker, the receiving antenna receives the echo signal, and then preprocesses the received echo signal, Fundamental frequency and higher harmonic mode decomposition, time-frequency signal processing, so as to obtain the frequency of time-varying vocal fold vibration, that is, the fundamental frequency of the speech signal;

[0018] The radar echo signal is the vocal fold vibration signal of the speaker collected by the radar echo; the speaker's pronunciation is the sound of a certain character.

[0019] Step 2. Fit the time-varying motion feature extracted from the lip video information when the speaker is speaking and the time-va...

Embodiment

[0040] In this embodiment, an adult man sends an English character "A", and the speaker obtains the fundamental frequency information of the voice by the radar echo signal when sending "A". Antenna reception, preprocessing of the echo, decomposition of the fundamental frequency and high-order harmonic mode, and time-frequency signal processing, so as to obtain the time-varying frequency of vocal fold vibration, that is, the fundamental frequency of the speech signal.

[0041] The motion features extracted from lip video information and the formants extracted from the voice signal obtained synchronously by the microphone when other speakers pronounce "A" are fitted to obtain the empirical formula for the mapping relationship between lip motion features and three groups of formants; from the empirical formula, The video information of the speaker's lips to be synthesized is used as input for calculation, and the output is three sets of time-varying formants of the speaker's voice...

Abstract

The invention discloses a new speech synthesis method based on speech radar. The processing steps are as follows: the vocal cord vibration frequency is obtained from the radar echo signal as the speech fundamental frequency; the motion feature extracted from the lip video information and the microphone are synchronously obtained by the speaker when speaking. The formant extracted from the signal is fitted to obtain the empirical formula of the lip motion characteristics and the formant mapping relationship; the lip video of the tester is used as input to obtain the time-varying formant; finally, the obtained fundamental frequency and time-varying resonance Peak for speech synthesis. With the method of the invention, voice synthesis can be realized by combining voice radar and image information without contacting the speaker.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of radar, in particular to a novel voice synthesis method based on voice radar. Background technique [0002] Speech is one of the most effective ways for human beings to communicate and communicate. Speech reconstruction and restoration has been studied by scientists. Biomedical radar technology has expanded the voice signal, and the quality of the obtained voice signal is comparable to that of the microphone signal; Fusion with speech information features improves the effect of speech recognition under background noise. However, there is no method for combining radar signals and image information for speech synthesis in the prior art. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel voice synthesis method based on voice radar. [0004] The technical solution that realizes the object of the present invention is: a kind of novel speech synthesis method based ...
