Speaker Identification by Combining Various Vocal Tract and Vocal Source Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previously, we proposed a speaker recognition system using a combination of MFCC-based vocal tract feature and phase information which includes rich vocal source information. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of combination of various vocal tract features (MFCC and LPCC) and vocal source features (phase and LPC residual) for normal-duration and short-duration utterance. The Japanese Newspaper Article Sentence (JNAS) database was used to evaluate our proposed method. The combination of various vocal tract and vocal source features achieved remarkable improvement than the conventional MFCC-based vocal tract feature for both normal-duration and short-duration utterances.

Integrating Complementary Features from Vocal Source and Vocal Tract for Speaker Identification
This paper describes a speaker identification system that uses complementary acoustic features derived from the vocal source excitation and the vocal tract system. Conventional speaker recognition systems typically adopt the cepstral coefficients, e.g., Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and linear predictive cepstral coefficients (LPCC), as the representative features. The cepstral fea...
متن کاملIn Search of Autocorrelation Based Vocal Cord Cues for Speaker Identification
In this paper we investigate a technique to find out vocal source based features from the LP residual of speech signal for automatic speaker identification. Autocorrelation with some specific lag is computed for the residual signal to derive these features. Compared to traditional features like MFCC, PLPCC which represent vocal tract information, these features represent complementary vocal cor...
متن کاملSpeaker Verification Using Complementary Information from Vocal Source and Vocal Tract
This paper describes a speaker verification system which uses two complementary acoustic features: Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and wavelet octave coefficients of residues (WOCOR). While MFCC characterizes mainly the spectral envelope, or the formant structure of the vocal tract system, WOCOR aims at representing the spectro-temporal characteristics of the vocal source excitation....

متن کاملImproving Speaker Identification Performance by Combining Vocal Tract Features
This paper proposes fusion and addition techniques of vocal tract features such as Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Dynamic Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (DMFCC) in speaker identification. Feature extraction plays an important role as a front end processing block in Speaker Identification (SI) process. Mel frequency features are used to extract the spectral characteristics o...
