| Abstract(in English) | Previously we proposed a new speech communication system "The Image Input Microphone" to convert oral motion images into speech using estimation of a vocal tract transfer function from oral images. This system, which requires no actual utterance, has high security, robustness to acoustic noise and the use as a speaking-aid system for its object. However this system has not performed well for consonants, because lips move quickly in utterances of consonants. This paper describes an improved system that has an ability of more precise estimation using improved image processing and a correlation between frames. We examine speech sounds including voiced plosive consonants. The recognition rate of synthesized speech by the proposed system improves about twice as good as by the ordinary system. It is shown that the proposed system has potential to synthesize speech including consonants and to use as a communication system. |
