Matlab-Based Formant Estimation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the study of speech digital signal processing, the resonance peak is the major characteristics in reflecting track resonant. In order to be more conducive to the future development of speech signal processing techniques, three methods of the formant estimation are introduced in the article, namely, Short-time Fourier Transform method, Cepstrum, LPC estimation method. These methods are compared and analyzed by means of MATLAB programming, and it is concluded that LPC method is the best method, which can estimate the formant peaks more accurate.
