Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a new spectral representation, the instantaneous frequency (IF) spectrogram, which more clearly shows the harmonic structure of quasi-periodic signals such as speech than conventional time-frequency (TF) representations such as the short time Fourier transform (STFT) spectrograms. In the IF spectrogram, harmonic components have very sharp spectral peaks and the harmonic structure is clearly seen. Next, we incorporate time-warping into the IF spectrogram to avoid overlapping of the harmonics in the spectrogram, that is caused by rapid change of the harmonic frequencies. The time-warping is applied to the signal frame by frame according to the change of the harmonic frequencies. As a result, we can obtain a spectrogram which shows sharp harmonic structures.
