Perceptual wavelet decomposition for speech segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A non-uniform speech segmentation method based on wavelet packet transform is used for the localisation of phoneme boundaries. Eleven subbands are chosen by applying the mean best basis algorithm. Perceptual scale is used for decomposition of speech via Meyer wavelet in the wavelet packet structure. A real valued vector representing the digital speech signal is decomposed into phone-like units by placing segment borders according to the result of the multiresolution analysis. The final decision on localisation of the boundaries is made by analysis of the energy flows among the decomposition levels.

An Efficient Speech Perceptual Hashing Authentication Algorithm Based on Wavelet Packet Decomposition
In this paper, we present a new speech perceptual hashing authentication algorithm based on wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) for speech content authentication. Firstly, a wavelet packet coefficients matrix of wavelet reconstruction is generated from an original speech signal after high frequency pre-processing followed by wavelet packet decomposition. Secondly, the wavelet packet coefficients...

Automatic speech segmentation is a key step for building large vocabulary and continuous speech recognition systems. An alternative method is to use manual speech segmentation, which is tedious, time consuming, subjective and error prone. Many automatic speech segmentation methods have been proposed based on linguistic information such as phonetic transcription (phonetic string) but for real ti...

متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...

Abstract— In our present work, we propose a nature inspired population based speech enhancement technique to find the dynamic threshold value using Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm by using shift invariant property of dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT). The performance of these proposed methods are evaluated in terms of Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PES...
