A Lightweight Speech Detection System for Perceptive Environments

چکیده
In this paper, we address the problem of speech activity detection in multimodal perceptive environments. Such space may contain many different microphones (lapel, distant or table top). Thus, we need a generic speech activity detector in order to cope with different speech conditions (from closetalking to noisy distant speech). Moreover, as the number of microphones in the room can be high, we also need a very light system. The speech activity detector presented in this article works efficiently on dozens of microphones in parallel. We will see that even if its absolute score of the evaluation is not perfect (30% and 40% of error rate respectively on the two tasks), its accuracy is good enough in the context we are using it.

In perceptive interface technologies used in smart-room environments, the determination of speech activity is one of key objectives. Due to the presence of environmental noises and reverberation, a robust Speech Activity Detection (SAD) system is required. In a previous work, a SAD system, which used Linear Discriminant Analysis-extracted features and a Decision Tree classifier, was successfull...

Motivation: Speech recognition software has advanced to the point where it can be employed as a mode of input in perceptive environments; however, current speech recognition techniques require low-noise signals to achieve resonable recognition rates. Such signals can be obtained from close-talking microphones, but we believe that it is possible to obtain similar signal quality from a large micr...
