Problems solved by technology

All throat stroboscopes developed in the 1980s use this method, but its use is declining today
Therefore, when a microphone is used, it is difficult to detect the peak of the fundamental signal, and there is a problem in the speed of automatic gain control (AGC) operation directly related to peak signal detection
Therefore, the stroboscope light emission cycle cannot be accurately determined relative to most speech samples

Abstract

Provided is a laryngeal stroboscope using voice signals. The laryngeal stroboscope includes a photography unit for photographing a patient's vocal cords and a light source for illuminating a part to be photographed, a microphone for sensing the patient's voice, a high-pass filter for passing voice signals of 100 Hz or more among voice signals output from the microphone, a low-pass filter for removing signals of harmonic components from the voice signals output from the high-pass filter and passing only a voice signal in a fundamental frequency band, a peak detector for detecting a peak of the voice signal output from the low-pass filter and obtaining a pitch, and a controller for controlling the light source to intermittently emit light in response to a signal output from the peak detector and controlling the photography unit to operate according to whether or not the light is intermittently emitted.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a laryngeal stroboscope for photographing the vocal cords in conjunction with an endoscope, and more particularly to a laryngeal stroboscope that uses a microphone to synchronize light emissions with speech signals. Background technique [0002] A stroboscope is an instrument that radiates periodic flashes of light onto a rapidly rotating or vibrating object and thereby enables the object to be observed as if it were stationary or moving slowly. The laryngeal stroboscope synchronizes the light emission operation with the fundamental frequency of the vocal cords, allowing the user to observe vocal cords that vibrate continuously during speech but appear to be stationary or slowly moving at one phase point. Such a laryngeal stroboscope is a useful instrument for checking minor damage of vocal cords, prognosis of vocal cord paralysis, and the like. [0003] In fact, the laryngeal stroboscope does not display an image in e...
