This study introduces a novel noise reduction method for vocal pathologies, leveraging dynamical systems and chaos theory. The algorithm effectively separates voice signals from noise by exploiting speech redundancy for clearer vocal correction.

Area of Science:

  • Speech processing
  • Dynamical systems theory
  • Nonlinear dynamics

Background:

  • Vocal pathologies often involve noise that degrades speech quality.
  • Existing noise reduction methods may struggle with complex vocal signal characteristics.
  • The human voice possesses inherent redundancy, particularly within phonemes, offering potential for signal separation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel noise reduction scheme specifically designed for vocal pathologies.
  • To utilize concepts from dynamical systems and deterministic chaos for signal processing.
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in correcting voice impairments.

Main Methods:

  • Reconstruction of phase space by embedding scalar voice data.
  • Exploitation of attractor concepts derived from dynamical constraints.
