Study on some aspects of the “singer's formant” in north indian classical singing

This article deals with a spectrographic analysis of the singer's formant as occurred during singing of the vowels /a/, /i/, and /o/ in North Indian classical vocal music. The resonance balance, center frequency, and band-width are shown as a function of fundamental frequency for eight singers.Two new parameters have been defined viz. asymmetry parameter (A) and spectral energy balance (W). Their variation with fundamental frequency is shown.

Acoustical Comparison Between Samples of Good and Poor Vibrato in Singers

The purpose of this research was to analyze samples of frequency vibrato taken from recordings of eight different singers, which were classified as examples of good or poor singing. The samples were analyzed by a software package, which makes use of the linear prediction coding (LPC) method to determine the time varying rate and extent of the frequency vibrato wave. Four parameters, which relate to the periodicity of the samples, were extracted from the time varying rate and extent and investigated in order to verify or reject the hypothesis that the best vibrato samples were the most symmetric ones. Ten samples per singer were analyzed, 5 good and 5 poor, for a total of 80 samples. The results show that the samples judged as good were the most periodic ones.     

基于空间外差的拉曼信号处理方法研究

空间外差拉曼光谱技术是近年兴起的一种超光谱探测技术,它既具有拉曼光谱测量的非接触、快速、简单、可重复、无需样品准备等特点,更具有空间外差的超光谱分辨率、高通量、无运动部件优点,能在被测物质特征波长中心范围探测,实现微弱拉曼光信号的直接测量。由于被测信号微弱、光学元件加工精度、器件封装及仪器安装误差等原因,会导致空间外差拉曼光谱仪(SHRS)接收到的干涉图存在光强分布不均匀、干涉条纹倾斜或扭曲等现象,从而使普通光谱恢复方法得到光谱信号准确度下降或无法识别。根据SHRS探测到的干涉图所存在的误差特点,将二维傅里叶变换应用于SHRS干涉图的光谱复原,提出基于二维频域谱重采样的最强直线方向光谱提取方法,以实现SHRS光谱的获取。提取过程为：将采集的目标干涉图进行二维傅里叶变换,获得二维频谱图,通过使用相同实验系统采集的单波长或多波长光源的二维频谱信号特征峰的位置信息,拟合获取光信息强度最大方向直线方程。然后根据该直线与目标二维频谱图各列交点坐标位置,确定重采样贡献像元及权重。对拟合直线方程经过的所有列像元进行重采样,得到最终的光谱信号。将该方法应用于自行搭建实验系统采集的三叶草干涉图数据,同时与其他方法光谱复原结果进行对比。结果表明：与一维行平均光谱法比较,该方法获取的光谱在探测波段中心区域信号强度更加明显,同时消除了探测器热噪声的影响;与二维频谱中心行直接提取法比较,该方法是该方法的改进版本,两者结果比较接近。但是由于考虑到干涉条纹y分量的影响,沿二维频谱信号最强方向重采样得到的最终光谱,其主峰半峰宽更窄、边频噪声强度更小,且随着y分量的增加,光谱复原效果及优势将越发明显。该方法是空间外差拉曼光谱技术数据处理的一种有益补充与尝试。

A survey of spectrogram track detection algorithms

The detection of tracks in spectrograms is an important step in remote sensing applications such as the analysis of marine mammal calls and remote sensing data in underwater environments. Recent advances in technology and the abundance of data requires the development of more sensitive detection methods. This problem has attracted researchers’ interest from a variety of backgrounds ranging between image processing, signal processing, simulated annealing and Bayesian filtering. Most of the literature is concentrated in three areas: image processing, neural networks, and statistical models such as the Hidden Markov model. There has not been a review paper which describes and critically analyses the application of these key algorithms. This paper presents an extensive survey and an algorithm taxonomy, additionally each algorithm is reviewed according to a set of criteria relating to their success in application. These criteria are defined to be their ability to cope with noise variation over time, track association, high variability in track shape, closely separated tracks, multiple tracks, the birth/death of tracks, low signal-to-noise ratios, that they have no a priori assumption of track shape and that they are computationally cheap. Our analysis concludes that none of these algorithms fully meets these criteria.     

Effects of systematized vocal warm-up on voices with disorders of various etiologies

This investigation studied the effect of a systematized vocal warm-up procedure on voices with disorders. There were 4 subjects with voice disorders. To optimize vocal function a systematized vocal warm-up system was developed by the author for singers and nonsingers alike. Subjects were asked to practice the vocal warm-up exercises daily, with weekly monitoring in the studio. Data from independent raters and subjects' self-ratings were compared to and corroborated with computer analysis of audio samples. Results indicated significant improvement in subjects' voices that were increasingly maintained over time.

Short-time maximum entropy method analysis of molecular dynamics simulation: Unimolecular decomposition of formic acid

We performed spectral analysis by using the maximum entropy method instead of the traditional Fourier transform technique to investigate the short-time behavior in molecular systems, such as the energy transfer between vibrational modes and chemical reactions. This procedure was applied to direct ab initio molecular dynamics calculations for the decomposition of formic acid. More reactive trajectories of dehydrolation than those of decarboxylation were obtained for Z-formic acid, which was consistent with the prediction of previous theoretical and experimental studies. Short-time maximum entropy method analyses were performed for typical reactive and non-reactive trajectories. Spectrograms of a reactive trajectory were obtained; these clearly showed the reactant, transient, and product regions, especially for the dehydrolation path.
