Speech signal parametrization for speaker recognition under voice disguise conditions

An experiment was performed to find out, if any of commonly applied techniques of speech signal parametrization is particularly resistant to voice disguise. As experimental material three vowels extracted from the word “logarytm” /ORJDUËWP/ spoken 10 times by each of 10 speakers under seven different speaking conditions were used. Three methods of parametrization were tested: FFT, LPC and ZCR. ...

The IBM Speaker Recognition System: Recent Advances and Error Analysis

We present the recent advances along with an error analysis of the IBM speaker recognition system for conversational speech. Some of the key advancements that contribute to our system include: a nearest-neighbor discriminant analysis (NDA) approach (as opposed to LDA) for intersession variability compensation in the i-vector space, the application of speaker and channel-adapted features derived...

Recent Advances in Biometric Systems: A Signal Processing Perspective

We were pleased to receive a total of thirty-nine submissions to the special issue on " Recent advances in biometric systems: a signal processing perspective. " The Guest Editors divided up the responsibility for the submissions, and each submission was reviewed by a minimum of two experts in the relevant area of biometrics. Following the first round of reviews, some of the submissions were rev...
