![]() Dipl.-Inf. Werner SpieglAlumnus of the Pattern Recognition Lab of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-NürnbergCreating the Homunculus Vocal fold vibrationsIn the Department of PVG-ExamplesIn the following some (healthy and pathological) vocal folds and their according PVGs are pictured.
PVG to S-Cycle ConversionIn an upcoming step the PVG will be divided in subparts: the cycles. The mean and variance picture of all these cycles give the S-Cycle (Standard/Spiegl-Cycle). The following figure shows the S-Cycle of an healthy PVG. Classification of Vocal Fold VibrationsDifferent vocal folds from different people vibrate differently. Due to this fact every person has it's own PVG/S-Cycles, like a fingerprint. With a vocal fold disorder this fingerprint changes. Idea: Analyze the PVG/S-Cycle to find any hint, that allows an automatic classification of the underlying disorder. The disorders to distinguish are: organic (Nodules, Polyp, Paresis) and functional (motion irregularities).
