In Chapter 4, an acoustic tube model for speech production was developed. The reflection coefficients defining the model were demonstrated to be obtainable directly from the speech waveform using linear prediction. It was shown that by cascading the Kelly-Lochbaum sections, or by introducing a transformation of variables, mathematical structures were obtainable for performing speech synthesis.
