A modified voice conversion algorithm using compressed sensing

A voice conversion algorithm,which makes use of the information between continuous frames of speech by compressed sensing,is proposed in this paper.According to the sparsity property of the concatenated vector of several continuous Linear Spectrum Pairs（LSP）in the discrete cosine transformation domain,this paper utilizes compressed sensing to extract the compressed vector from the concatenated LSPs and uses it as the feature vector to train the conversion function.The results of evaluations demonstrate that the performance of this approach can averagely improve 3.21%with the conventional algorithm based on weighted frequency warping when choosing the appropriate numbers of speech frame.The experimental results also illustrate that the performance of voice conversion system can be improved by taking full advantage of the inter-frame information,because those information can make the converted speech remain the more stable acoustic properties which is inherent in inter-frames.

Conversion algorithm for MPRM expansion

Conversion of the Reed–Muller（RM） expansion between two different polarities is an important step in the synthesis and optimization of RM circuits. By investigating XOR decomposition, a new conversion algorithm is proposed to convert MPRM expansion from one polarity to another. First, the relationship between XOR decomposition and mixed polarity is set up. Second, based on this, the operation relation of term coefficients between the two polarities is derived to realize MPRM expansion conversion. And finally, with the MCNC Benchmark, the resultsofouralgorithmshowthatitismoresuitablefordealingwithMPRMexpansionwithmoreterms.Compared to the previous tabular technique, the conversion efficiency is improved up to approximately 44.39%.

A grey scale conversion algorithm for digital sonar display system

It is proved that the bearing history display is an effective method to detect weak signal. There is an interface between multibeam data and brightness modulation display system in digital sonar. The system gain obtained from signal processing system may be lost in this interface. A right choice of conversion algorithm will reduce this lose to minimum. The Grey Scale Conversion ( GSC) algorithm proposed in this paper is a real time digital operation technique. This technique can be used to improve the detection ability for weak signals, in the meantime there is no serious effect on strong signal detection. The method described in this papr is easy to implement in hardware. The simulation results with a computer show a good agreement with the theoretical analysis. A brief outline of hardware design is also illustrated.

An algorithm for voice conversion with limited corpus

Under the condition of limited target speaker＇s corpus, this paper proposed an algorithm for voice conversion using unified tensor dictionary with limited corpus. Firstly, parallel speech of N speakers was selected randomly from the speech corpus to build the base of tensor dictionary. And then, after the operation of multi-series dynamic time warping for those chosen speech, N two-dimension basic dictionaries can be generated which constituted the unified tensor dictionary. During the conversion stage, the two dictionaries of source and target speaker were established by linear combination of the N basic dictionaries using the two speakers＇ speech. The experimental results showed that when the number of the basic speaker was 14, our algorithm can obtain the compared performance of the traditional NMF- based method with few target speaker corpus, which greatly facilitate the application of voice conversion system.
