Voice Activity Detection Using Laplacian Model and UMP Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new voice activity detection (VAD) method using the Laplacian distribution and a uniformly most powerful (UMP) test. The UMP test is employed to derive the new decision rule based on likelihood ratio test (LRT). The proposed method provide the decision rule by comparing the sum of magnitude of real and imaginary parts of the noisy spectral component to the adaptive threshold estimated from the noise statistics. Experimental results show that the proposed VAD algorithm based on the Laplacian and the UMP test outperforms the conventional scheme at a low SNR. Key–Words: Voice activity detection, Laplacian distribution, Likelihood ratio test, Uniformly most powerful test

A uniformly most powerful test for statistical model-based voice activity detection
This paper presents a new voice activity detection (VAD) method using the Gaussian distribution and a uniformly most powerful (UMP) test. The UMP test is employed to derive the new decision rule based on likelihood ratio test (LRT). This method requires the Rayleigh distribution for the magnitude of the noisy spectral component and the adaptive threshold estimated from the noise statistics. Exp...
متن کاملLikelihood ratio test with complex laplacian model for voice activity detection
This paper proposes a voice activity detector (VAD) based on the complex Laplacian model. With the use of a goodness-of-fit (GOF) test, it is discovered that the Laplacian model is more suitable to describe noisy speech distribution than the conventional Gaussian model. The likelihood ratio (LR) based on the Laplacian model is computed and then applied to the VAD operation. According to the exp...

متن کاملSequential Tests for the Detection of Voice Activity and the Recognition of Cyber Exploits
We consider the problem of automated voice activity detection (VAD), in the presence of noise. To attain this objective, we introduce a Sequential Detection of Change Test (SDCT), designed at the independent mixture of Laplacian and Gaussian distributions. We analyze and numerically evaluate the proposed test for various noisy environments. In addition, we address the problem of effectively rec...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
