Modeling human attention has been arousing a lot of interest due to its numerous applications. The process that allows us to focus on some more important stimuli is defined as the “attention”. Seam carving is an approach to resize images or video sequences while preserving the semantic content. To define what is important, gradient was first used but due to limitations of this approach, saliency models,...
In this paper, we present the first step of a project that is able to perform both speech and singing synthesis controlled in real-time. Our aim is to develop a flexible application allowing performers to produce complex and versatile singing - as well as speech - articulations. Thus, we have adapted an existing speech synthesizer, the MBROLA software, to real-time singing constraints. The work presented...
Statistical parametric speech synthesizers have recently shown their ability to produce natural-sounding and flexible voices. Unfortunately the delivered quality suffers from a typical buzziness due to the fact that speech is vocoded. This paper proposes a new excitation model in order to reduce this undesirable effect. This model is based on the decomposition of pitch-synchronous residual frames...
