چکیده
The demand for content-based management and real-time manipulation of audio data is constantly increasing. This paper presents a method to identify temporal regions, in a segment of co-channel speech, as being either single-speaker or multispeaker speech. The state of the art approach for this purpose is the kurtosis. In this paper, a set of complementary time-domain and frequency-domain features is studied. The employed classification scheme is the one-class SVM classifier. A recognition rate of 94.75 % is reached. The set of features providing the best performance is determined.

Evaluation of a Multi-Resolution Dyadic Wavelet Transform Method for usable Speech Detection
Many applications of speech communication and speaker identification suffer from the problem of co-channel speech. This paper deals with a multi-resolution dyadic wavelet transform method for usable segments of co-channel speech detection that could be processed by a speaker identification system. Evaluation of this method is performed on TIMIT database referring to the Target to Interferer Rat...
متن کاملCo-channel Speech and Speaker Identification Study
This study was comprised of two parts. The first was to determine the effectiveness of speaker identification under two different speaker identification degradation conditions, additive noise and speaker interference, using the LPC cepstral coefficient approach. The second part was to develop a method for determination of co-channel speech, i.e., speaker count, and to develop an effective metho...
متن کاملUsable Speech Assignment for Speaker Identification under Co-Channel Situation
Usable speech criteria are proposed to extract minimally corrupted speech for speaker identification (SID) in co-channel speech. In co-channel speech, either speaker can randomly appear as the stronger speaker or the weaker one at a time. Hence, the extracted usable segments are separated in time and need to be organized into speaker streams for SID. In this paper, we focus to organize extracte...
متن کاملCo-channel speaker identification using usable speech extraction based on multi-pitch tracking
Recently, usable speech criteria [1] are proposed to extract minimally corrupted speech for speaker identification (SID) in co-channel speech. In this paper, we propose a new usable speech extraction method to improve the SID performance under the co-channel situation based on the pitch information obtained from a robust multi-pitch tracking algorithm [2]. The idea is to retain the speech segme...
متن کاملCo-channel speech detection via spectral analysis of frequency modulated sub-bands
Overlapped-speech is known to degrade performance in automatic speech systems. In this study, a sub-band speech analysis technique is proposed to detect overlapped-speech segments in single-channel multi-speaker scenarios (i.e., co-channel speech). Sub-band signals are obtained by decomposing the input speech using a gammatone filterbank. Filterbank outputs are then used to modulate the frequen...
