Selective gammatone filterbank feature for robust sound event recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a novel feature based on the raw output of the gammatone filterbank. Channel selection is used to enhance robustness over a range of signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) of additive noise. The recognition accuracy of the proposed feature is tested on a sound event database using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) recogniser. A comparison with a series of similar features and the conventional Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) shows that the proposed feature offers significant improvement in low SNR conditions.

Gammatone auditory filterbank and independent component analysis for speaker identification
Feature extraction is the key procedure when aiming at robust speaker identification. The most commonly used feature extraction techniques work successfully only in clean or matched environments. Accurate speaker identification is made difficult due to a number of factors, with handset/channel mismatch and environmental noise being the most prominent. This paper presents a novel technique which...
متن کاملVoice biometric feature using Gammatone filterbank and ICA
Voice biometric feature extraction is the core task in developing any speaker identification system. This paper proposes a robust feature extraction technique for the purpose of speaker identification. The technique is based on processing monaural speech signal using human auditory system based Gammatone Filterbank (GTF) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA). The measures used to assess the ...
متن کاملMonaural Speech Segregation Based on Pitch
Introduction The goal of the proposed algorithm is to separate speech signals in monaural recordings even in very adverse conditions when significant background noise and additional speakers are present at the same time. Particularly we try to decide for each time frequency region which of the different sound sources dominates and then build for each sound source a binary mask which is one at t...
متن کاملAuditory Filterbank Based Frequency-Warping Invariant Features for Automatic Speech Recognition
Auditory filterbanks have a long history in the preprocessing stage of automatic speech recognition systems, with the most prominent examples being the mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). In this paper, we study the usefulness of auditory-filterbank analyses as a preprocessor for the generation of frequency-warping invariant features. The results indicate, that gammatone-filterbank ana...
متن کاملZero-Crossing-Based Channel Attentive Weighting of Cepstral Features for Robust Speech Recognition: The ETRI 2011 CHiME Challenge System
We present a practical and noise-robust speech recognition system which estimates a target-to-interferers power ratio using a zero-crossing-based binaural model and applies the power ratio to a channel attentive missing feature decoder in the cepstral domain. In a natural multisource environment, our binaural model extracts spatial cues at each zero-crossing of a filterbank output signal to loc...
