Analysis of the impact of analogue telephone channel on MFCC parameters for voice pathology detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the feasibility of a system developed for the remote diagnosis of voice pathologies is analysed. More specifically, the performance of MFCC-based pathology detectors over speech transmitted through an analogue telephone channel is studied. Results indicate that MFCC are voice features fairly robust to amplitude distortion and almost insensitive to phase distortion, but the efficiency of a voice pathology detector based on these features is clearly decreased when the speech samples are transmitted through a telephone channel.

Disease Detection Using Analysis of Voice Parameters
This paper investigates the adaptation of automatic speech recognition to disease detection by analyzing the voice parameters. The analysis of the voice allows the identification of the diseases which affect the vocal apparatus and currently is carried out from an expert doctor through methods based on the auditory analysis. This paper presents a novel method to keep track of patient’s patholog...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of laryngeal pathologies in records of sustained vowels by means of mel-frequency cepstral coefficient parameters and differentiation of patients by sex.
Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) have traditionally been used in speaker identification applications. Their use has been extended to speech quality assessment for clinical applications during the last few years. While the significance of such parameters for such an application may not seem clear at first thought, previous research has demonstrated their robustness and statistical sign...
متن کاملPathological Voice Recognition for Vocal Fold Disease
Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease. Due to the nature of job, unhealthy habits and voice abuse, the people are subjected to the risk of voice problems. The diagnosis of vocal and voice disorders should be in the early stage otherwise it causes changes in the normal signal. It is well known that most of vocal fold pathologies cause changes in the acoustic voice signal. Therefore, th...
