A Novel Speech/Noise Discrimination Method for Embedded ASR System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of speech/noise discrimination has become increasingly important as the automatic speech recognition (ASR) system is applied in the real world. Robustness and simplicity are two challenges to the speech/noise discrimination method for an embedded system. The energy-based feature is the most suitable and applicable feature for speech/noise discrimination for embedded ASR system because of effectiveness and simplicity. A new method based on a noise model is proposed to discriminate speech signals from noise signals. The noise model is initialized and then updated according to the signal energy. The experiment shows the effectiveness and robustness of the new method in noisy environments.

A Low-Cost Robust Front-end for Embedded ASR System
In this paper we propose a low-cost robust MFCC feature extraction algorithm which combines noise reduction and voice activity detection (VAD) for automatic speech recognition (ASR) system of embedded applications. To remedy the effect of additive noise a magnitude spectrum subtraction method is used. A VAD is performed to distinguish speech signal from noise signal. It discriminates speech/non...

A reliable speech enhancement method is important for speech applications as a pre-processing step to improve their overall performance. In this paper, we propose a novel frequency domain method for single channel speech enhancement. Conventional frequency domain methods usually neglect the correlation between neighboring time-frequency components of the signals. In the proposed method, we take...

Recently, ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) functions have commercially been used for various consumer applications including car navigation systems. However, many technical and usability problems still exist before ASR applications are on real business use. Our goal is to make ASR technologies for a real business use. To do so, we first evaluate a car navigation interface which has ASR as an ...
متن کاملA noise-robust feature extraction method based on pitch-synchronous ZCPA for ASR
In this paper, we propose a novel feature extraction method based on an auditory nervous system for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). In the proposed method, a pitchsynchronous mechanism is embedded in ZCPA (ZeroCrossings Peak-Amplitudes), which has previously been shown to outperform the conventional features in the presence of noise. A noise-robust non-delayed pitch determination alg...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Psychoacoustic Model for Automatic Speech Recognition
Abstract: Compared with automatic speech recognition (ASR), the human auditory system is more adept at handling noise-adverse situations, including environmental noise and channel distortion. To mimic this adeptness, auditory models have been widely incorporated in ASR systems to improve their robustness. This paper proposes a novel auditory model which incorporates psychoacoustics and otoacous...
