A comparison of the performance of "normal" and "whispered" speech with simple time encoded digital speech (TES) direct voice input (DVI) systems in a tactical military environment

چکیده
A preliminary investigation into the performance of a simple Time Encoded Speech (TES) isolated word recognition (IWR) direct voice input (DVI) system, using both normal and whi1pered (unvoiced) speech is described. Experimental conditions include evaluations with untrained military speakers in severe acoustic background noise ( c. 70-90 dB SPL) with handheld omnidirectional microphones. System performance in both normal and whi1pered speech domains is presented.

Automatic diagnostic and assessment procedures for the comparison and optimisation of time encoded speech (TES) DVI systems
The development of simple automatic diagnostic and assessment procedures for the comparison and optimisation of TES-based DVI systems is presented. The use of a "Diagnostic Matrix" [1] to assess the variability of input acoustic events purporting to be the same word and to indicate the degree of orthogonality between the acoustic events which form the vocabulary under examination, is discussed....
متن کاملCoding schemes for time encoded speech (TES) voice messages
This paper reports an an investigation into the use of Time-Encoded Speech (TES) [1] for the economical storage of digital voice messages in the tactical military arena. Initial results indicate that bit rate· reductions of between 20°/o and 55°/o may be available using simple coding schemes. INTRODUCTION The need for an economical digital description of the human speech waveform for applicatio...
متن کاملUsing Context-based Statistical Models to Promote the Quality of Voice Conversion Systems
This article aims to examine methods of optimizing GMM-based voice conversion systems performance in which GMM method is introduced as the basic method for improvement of voice conversion systems performance. In the current methods, due to using a single conversion function to convert all speech units and subsequent spectral smoothing arising from statistical averaging, we will observe quality ...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...
متن کاملA New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...
