A Variable Rate Speech Codec Using Vus Classification

Voiced speech is highly correlated and must be reconstructed accurately in order to sound correct. Unvoiced speech on the other hand is noise like in nature. It can be approximated by white noise coloured by the vocal tract filter. Because of this lack of structure in unvoiced speech sounds, the excitation signal does not have to reproduce the speech signal as accurately as for voiced sounds. T...

Classification of emotional speech using spectral pattern features

Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...

Techniques for Variable Rate Speech Coding Using

This paper presents two techniques for variable rate speech coding using wavelet representations. In the rst method, the Daubechies wavelet is used to produce a wavelet representation of the speech signal. This representation is encoded using some of the properties of the speech signal to allocate bits to the various subbands. A technique to lower the bit rate using vector quantisation is discu...
