🎯 What are AVQI and ABI?
AVQI (Acoustic Voice Quality Index) AVQI (Acoustic Voice Quality Index) combines 6 acoustic parameters into a single validated score for overall dysphonia severity.
- • CPPS - Smoothed Cepstral Peak Prominence
- • HNR - Harmonics-to-Noise Ratio
- • Shimmer Local - Cycle-to-cycle amplitude variation
- • Shimmer dB - Amplitude perturbation in dB
- • Slope - Spectral slope measure
- • Tilt - Long-term average spectrum tilt
ABI (Acoustic Breathiness Index) ABI (Acoustic Breathiness Index) combines 9 acoustic parameters specifically designed to quantify breathiness perception.
- • CPPS - Smoothed Cepstral Peak Prominence
- • Shimmer Local - Cycle-to-cycle amplitude variation
- • Shimmer dB - Amplitude perturbation in dB
- • Jitter Local - Cycle-to-cycle period variation
- • GNE (Glottal-to-Noise Excitation ratio) max
- • HFNO - High-Frequency Noise Offset
- • HNRD - HNR Difference
- • H1-H2 - First harmonic difference
- • PSD - Power Spectral Density measure
