Abstract

Speech signals, and similar one-dimensional signals, are time scaled, interpolated, and/or smoothed, when necessary, under influence of a signal that is sensitive to a small window stationarity of the signal that is being modified. Three measures of stationarity are disclosed: one that is based on time domain analysis, one that is based on frequency domain analysis, and one that is based on both time and frequency domain analysis.
