Improving Speaker Identification Performance by Combining Vocal Tract Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 of the speech such as formant frequency and the bandwidth of formant frequency. This feature estimation method leads to robust recognition performance. The Dynamic Mel frequency features are used to extract the dynamic behavior of the human vocal tract using pitch frequency. This work is focused to increase the identification accuracy with databases containing short length speech signal. Experimental evaluation is carried out on TIMIT database with 630 speakers using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM).

Speaker Identification by Combining Various Vocal Tract and Vocal Source Features
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 ...
متن کاملExploration of vocal excitation modulation features for speaker recognition
To derive spectro-temporal vocal source features complementary to the conventional spectral-based vocal tract features in improving the performance and reliability of a speaker recognition system, the excitation related modulation properties are studied. Through multi-band demodulation method, sourcerelated amplitude and phase quantities are parameterized into feature vectors. Evaluation of the...
متن کاملIntegrating 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...
