| Abstract(in English) | A vowel-based voice conversion method using generalized inverse was proposed. The proposed method uses vowel information only to design spectrum conversion function for each frame. The conversion function is generated by mixing each function designed for each vowel based on the similarity of the current frame to each vowel template. The proposed method was compared with our previous proposal where Gaussian potential function of distance to each template was used to calculate similarity. The proposed method enables geometrical interpretation of a mixing weight as a minimum norm to the subspace spanned by vowel templates. A preliminary test results using objective as well as subjective measure were presented. |
