As One of Features from other Languages, the Chinese Tone Changes of Chinese are Mainly Decided by its Vowels, so the Vowel Variation of Chinese Tone Becomes Important in Speech Recognition Research. the Normal Tone Recognition Ways are Always Based on Fundamental Frequency of Signal, which can Not Keep Integrity of Tone Signal. we Bring Forward to a Mathematical Morphological Processing of Spectrograms for the Tone of Chinese Vowels. Firstly, we will have Pretreatment to Recording Good Tone Signal by Using Cooledit Pro Software, and Converted into Spectrograms; Secondly, we will do Smooth and the Normalized Pretreatment to Spectrograms by Mathematical Morphological Processing; Finally, we get Whole Direction Angle Statistics of Tone Signal by Skeletonization way. the Neural Networks Stimulation Shows that the Speech Emotion Recognition Rate can Reach 92.50%.

This paper presents a method for continuous Thai tone recognition. One of the main problems in tone recognition is that several interacting factors affect F0realization of tones. In this paper, we focus on the tonal assimilation and declination effects. These effects are compensated by the tone information of neighboring syllables, the F0downdrift and the context-dependent tone model. However, the context-dependent tone model is too large and its training time is very long. To overcome these problems, we propose a novel model called the half-tone model. The experiments, which compare all tone features and all tone models, were simulated by feedforward neural networks. The results show that the proposed tone features increase the recognition rates and the half-tone model outperforms conventional tone models, i.e. context-independent and context-dependent tone models, in terms of recognition rate and speed. The best results are 94.77% and 93.82% for the inside test and outside test, respectively.
