On the Usefulness of Linear and Nonlinear Prediction Residual Signals for Speaker Recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper compares the identification rates of a speaker recognition system using several parameterizations, with special emphasis on the residual signal obtained from linear and nonlinear predictive analysis. It is found that the residual signal is still useful even when using a high dimensional linear predictive analysis. On the other hand, it is shown that the residual signal of a nonlinear analysis contains less useful information, even for a prediction order of 10, than the linear residual signal. This shows the inability of the linear models to cope with nonlinear dependences present in speech signals, which are useful for recognition purposes.

Speaker recognition using residual signal of linear and nonlinear prediction models
This Paper discusses the usefullness of the residual signal for speaker recognition. It is shown that the combination of both a measure defined over LPCC coefficients and a measure deffined over the energy of the residual signal gives rise to an improvement over the classical method which considers only the LPCC coefficients. If the residual signal is obtained from a linear prediction analisys,...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...
متن کاملThroat microphone signal for speaker recognition
Speaker recognition systems perform better when clean speech signals are used for the task. In the presence of high levels of background noise, speech recorded from a close speaking microphone will be degraded and hence the performance of the speaker recognition system. Use of a transducer held at the throat results in a signal that is clean even in a noisy environment. This paper discusses the...

Introduction In order to improve the quality of life of amputees, biomechatronic researchers and biomedical engineers have been trying to use a combination of various techniques to provide suitable rehabilitation systems. Diverse biomedical signals, acquired from a specialized organ or cell system, e.g., the nervous system, are the driving force for the whole system. Electromyography(EMG), as a...
متن کاملAn Emotion Recognition Approach based on Wavelet Transform and Second-Order Difference Plot of ECG
Emotion, as a psychophysiological state, plays an important role in human communications and daily life. Emotion studies related to the physiological signals are recently the subject of many researches. In This study a hybrid feature based approach was proposed to examine affective states. To this effect, Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of 47 students were recorded using pictorial emotion elici...
