Speaker characterization using principal component analysis and wavelet transform for speaker verification

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the use of the Wavelet Transform for text-dependent and text-independent Speaker Verification tasks. We have introduced a Principal Component Analysis based wavelet transform to perform frequencies segmentation with levels decomposition. A speaker dependent library tree has been built, corresponding to the best structure for a given speaker. The constructed tree is abstract and specific to every single speaker. Therefore the extracted parameters are more discriminative and appropriate for speaker verification applications. It has been compared to MFCC’s and other wavelet-based parameters. Experiments have been conducted using corpus, extracted from Yoho and Spidre Databases. This technique has shown robustness and 100% efficiency in both cases.

Modified PCA Speaker Identification Based System Using Wavelet Transform and Neural Networks
This work investigates to improve the robustness of the speaker identification systems based on a modified version of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). Therefore, this work proposes a robust feature extraction method based on MPCA instead of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) that is used in the literature, which is based on converting the common ...
متن کاملTime –Frequency Representation of Vocal Source Signal for Speaker Verification
We propose an effective feature extraction technique for obtaining essential time-frequency information from the linear prediction (LP) residual signal, which are closely related to the glottal vibration of individual speaker. With pitch synchronous analysis, wavelet transform is applied to every two pitch cycles of the LP residual signal to generate a new feature vector, called Wavelet Based F...

The main goal of this paper is to find some effective methods to improve the performance of speaker identification system. In speaker identification, we use wavelet transform to decompose the speech signals into several frequency bands and then use cepstral coefficients to capture the individualities of vocal track within the interested bands based on the acoustic characteristic of human ear. I...

Speaker verification from talking a few words of sentences has many applications. Many methods as DTW, HMM, VQ and MQ can be used for speaker verification. We applied MQ for its precise, reliable and robust performance with computational simplicity. We also used pitch frequency and log gain contour for further improvement of the system performance.
متن کاملAdvanced Speaker Verification System Using Wavelets
This paper presents an advanced speaker verification system using wavelet transforms. The conventional signal processing techniques assume the signal to be stationary and are ineffective in recognizing non stationary signals such as voice signals. Voice signals which are more dynamic could be analysed with far better accuracy using wavelet transform. The developed voice verification system is w...
