Wavelet based feature extraction for phoneme recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an effort to provide a more efficient representation of the acoustical speech signal in the pre-classification stage of a speech recognition system, we consider the application of the Best-Basis Algorithm of Coifman and Wickerhauser. This combines the advantages of using a smooth, compactly-supported wavelet basis with an adaptive time-scale analysis dependent on the problem at hand. We start by briefly reviewing areas within speech recognition where the Wavelet Transform has been applied with some success. Examples include pitch detection, formant tracking, phoneme classification. Finally, our wavelet based feature extraction system is described and its performance on a simple phonetic classification problem given.

متن کاملComparative Analysis of Wavelet-based Feature Extraction for Intramuscular EMG Signal Decomposition
Background: Electromyographic (EMG) signal decomposition is the process by which an EMG signal is decomposed into its constituent motor unit potential trains (MUPTs). A major step in EMG decomposition is feature extraction in which each detected motor unit potential (MUP) is represented by a feature vector. As with any other pattern recognition system, feature extraction has a significant impac...
متن کاملSpeaker independent phoneme recognition by MLP using wavelet features
Feature extraction is one of the most important tasks in speech recognition system. Most of the speech recognition systems use Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for the derivation of features from the spoken utterances. In this paper we try to exploit the higher time–frequency resolution property of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for extraction of speaker independent features. The features ...
متن کاملDynamic feature extraction by wavelet analysis
Phoneme recognition is a difficult task in speech recognition as it is variable in length and its acoustic properties change due to co-articulation and variation in dialects. The performance of the speech recognition system is heavily based on features extracted for the phonemes. The conventional technique of Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) has a serious limitation in resolving the stop (pl...
متن کاملMachine learning based Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) Signals Recognition
Introduction: Visual evoked potentials contain certain diagnostic information which have proved to be of importance in the visual systems functional integrity. Due to substantial decrease of amplitude in extra macular stimulation in commonly used pattern VEPs, differentiating normal and abnormal signals can prove to be quite an obstacle. Due to developments of use of machine l...
