Time –Frequency Representation of Vocal Source Signal for Speaker Verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 Feature extraction (WBFE), which provides additional speaker discriminative power to the commonly used linear predictive Cepstral coefficients (LPC).WBFE out performs the LPCs coefficients. In this paper, we have demonstrated the effectiveness of using vocal source features to supplement vocal tract features for improved speaker verification and the verification results are displayed in the MATLAB.

Speaker Verification Using Complementary Information from Vocal Source and Vocal Tract
This paper describes a speaker verification system which uses two complementary acoustic features: Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and wavelet octave coefficients of residues (WOCOR). While MFCC characterizes mainly the spectral envelope, or the formant structure of the vocal tract system, WOCOR aims at representing the spectro-temporal characteristics of the vocal source excitation....

Speaker verification using limited data is always a challenge for practical implementation as an application. An analysis on speaker verification studies for an i-vector based method using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) feature shows that the performance drops drastically as the duration of test data is reduced. This decrease in performance is due to insufficient phonetic coverage wh...
