Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a method of dynamic 3-dimensional visualization of vocal tract shape for computer assisted language learning. In the method, vocal tract shape is modeled 9-demensional parameters such a Ag, Ab, Ac, Af, Al, Xb, Xc, Xf and Xl, the typical values of the articulation parameters are corresponded with "articulatory-acoustic" transformation, dynamic vocal tract parameters corresponding with acoustic features are estimated, and it is possible to visualize dynamically the 3D vocal tract model by estimated articulation. We hope that it is useful for language learning because of the dynamic visualization of conncted vowels and semi vowels.
