Image-to-sound mapping is a technique that transforms an image to a sound signal, which is subsequently treated as a sound spectrogram. In general, the transformed sound differs from a human speech signal. Herein an efficient image-to-sound mapping method, which provides an understandable speech signal without any training, is proposed. To synthesize such a speech signal, the proposed method utilizes a multi-column image and a speech spectral phase that is obtained from a long-time observation of the speech. The original image can be retrieved from the sound spectrogram of the synthesized speech signal. The synthesized speech and the reconstructed image qualities are evaluated using objective tests.
