  • Abstract
    This paper introduces Morphlet, a new wavelet transform adapted for voice conversion purposes. The paradigm of joint time-frequency-shape analysis of discrete-time signals, possible by means of the Discrete Shape let Transform (DST), is the basis used for the construction of Morphlets. The results assure the efficacy of the proposed transform, which is able, by itself and with the help of no other tool such as a neural network, to carry out the task, totally.
