Comparative evaluation of different methods for voice activity detection

چکیده
This paper presents a comparative evaluation of different methods for voice activity detection (VAD). A novel feature set is proposed in order to improve VAD performance in diverse noisy environments. Furthermore, three classifiers for VAD are evaluated. The three classifiers are Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Decision Tree (DT). Experimental results show that the proposed feature set achieves better performance than spectral entropy. In the comparison of the classifiers, DT shows the best performance in terms of frame-based VAD accuracy as well as computational cost.

A 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 ...

متن کاملEvaluation of real-time voice activity detection based on high order statistics
We have proposed a method for real-time, unsupervised voice activity detection (VAD). In this paper, problems of feature selection and classification scheme are addressed. The feature is based on High Order Statistics (HOS) to discriminate close and far-field talk, enhanced by a feature derived from the normalized autocorrelation. Comparative effectiveness on several HOS is shown. The classific...
متن کاملVoice activity detection using partially observable Markov decision process
Partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) has been generally used to model agent decision processes such as dialogue management. In this paper, possibility of applying POMDP to a voice activity detector (VAD) has been explored. The proposed system first formulates hypotheses about the current noise environment and speech activity. Then, it decides and observes the features that are e...
متن کاملA Comparative Evaluation of ELISA, PCR, and Serum Agglutination Tests For Diagnosis of Brucella Using Human Serum
Background & Objective: Since the symptoms of Brucellosis are often atypical and nonspecific, using clinical signs alone to diagnose brucellosis is not advised; therefore, the diagnosis relies predominantly on laboratory testing. Currently, molecular, serological, and microbiological methods are used for diagnosis of this disease. In this study we examined ELI...
