Abstract

This paper develops a formant tracking method based on Fourier ridges detection. This work aims to improve the performance of formant tracking algorithm. In this method we have introduced a continuity constraint based on the computation of centre of gravity for a set of frequency formant candidates which leads to connect a frame of speech to its neighbours and thus to improve the robustness of track. The formant trajectories obtained by the algorithm proposed are compared to those of the hand edited formant Arabic database and those given by Praat with LPC data.
