IMAGE-PROCESSING OF SPEECH WITH AUDITORY MAGNITUDE SPECTROGRAMS

Magnitude spectrograms are the standard in speech visualization. In th eir digital form, they suggest image processing as a powerful tool for speech research. The present article recommends auditory magnitude sp ectrograms (AMS) for this task, continuing the work of Terhardt [1, 2] , Heinbach [3] and Mummert [4, 5]. Three sections give arguments conce rning speech representation, interpretation and modification.
