Feature Extraction Combining Spe and Cepstral Histogram Equaliz
نویسنده
چکیده
This work is mainly focused on showing experimental results using a combination of two methods for noise compensation which are shown to be complementary: classical spectral subtraction algorithm and histogram equalization. While spectral subtraction is focused on the reduction of the additive noise in the spectral domain, histogram equalization is applied in the cepstral domain to compensate the remaining non-linear effects associated to channel distortion and additive noise. The estimation of the noise spectrum for the spectral subtraction method relies on a new algorithm for speech / non-speech detection (SND) based on order statistics. This SND classification is also used for dropping long speech pauses. Results on Aurora 2 and Aurora 3 are reported.

متن کاملA Robust Front-End Processor combining Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient and Sub-band Spectral Centroid Histogram methods for Automatic Speech Recognition
Environmental robustness is an important area of research in speech recognition. Mismatch between trained speech models and actual speech to be recognized is due to factors like background noise. It can cause severe degradation in the accuracy of recognizers which are based on commonly used features like mel-frequency cepstral co-efficient (MFCC) and linear predictive coding (LPC). It is well u...
متن کاملEvaluation of Quantile Based Histogram Equalization in Combination with Different Root Functions
This paper presents an evaluation of the RWTH large vocabulary speech recognition system on the Aurora 4 noisy Wall Street Journal database. First, the influence of different root functions replacing the logarithm in the feature extraction is studied. Then quantile based histogram equalization is applied, a parametric method to increase the noise robustness by reducing the mismatch between the ...
متن کاملCepstral Analysis Tools for Percussive Timbre Identification
A set of low level and cepstral feature extraction externals for pure data (Pd) are introduced and evaluated in a percussion instrument classification problem. Because this set of tools is intended for immediate real-time timbre identification using an accompanying classification external, a constraint of reporting results within 30 ms after a detected onset is applied. While Bark-frequency cep...
