Noise robust speech recognition for voice driven wheelchair
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a noise robust speech recognition system for a voice-driven wheelchair. Our system has adopted a microphone array system in order for the user not to need to wear a microphone. By mounting the microphone array system on the wheelchair, our system can easily distinguish the user’s utterances from other voices without using a speaker identification technique. We have also adopted a feature compensation technique. By combining the microphone array system and the feature compensation technique, our system can be applied to various noise environments. This is because the microphone array system can provide reliable information about voice activity detection to the feature compensation method, and the feature compensation method can compensate for the weak point of the microphone array system, which is that the microphone array system tends to be less effective for omni-directional noises.

Noise Robust Speech Recognition Applied to Voice-Driven Wheelchair
Conventional voice-driven wheelchairs usually employ headset microphones that are capable of achieving sufficient recognition accuracy, even in the presence of surrounding noise. However, such interfaces require users to wear sensors such as a headset microphone, which can be an impediment, especially for the hand disabled. Conversely, it is also well known that the speech recognition accuracy ...

Performance of speech recognition systems is greatly reduced when speech corrupted by noise. One common method for robust speech recognition systems is missing feature methods. In this way, the components in time - frequency representation of signal (Spectrogram) that present low signal to noise ratio (SNR), are tagged as missing and deleted then replaced by remained components and statistical ...
