چکیده
This paper proposes a voice activity detector (VAD) based on the complex Laplacian model. With the use of a goodness-of-fit (GOF) test, it is discovered that the Laplacian model is more suitable to describe noisy speech distribution than the conventional Gaussian model. The likelihood ratio (LR) based on the Laplacian model is computed and then applied to the VAD operation. According to the experimental results, we can find that the Laplacian statistical model is more suitable for the VAD algorithm compared to the Gaussian model.

Voice Activity Detection Using Laplacian Model and UMP Test
This paper presents a new voice activity detection (VAD) method using the Laplacian distribution and a uniformly most powerful (UMP) test. The UMP test is employed to derive the new decision rule based on likelihood ratio test (LRT). The proposed method provide the decision rule by comparing the sum of magnitude of real and imaginary parts of the noisy spectral component to the adaptive thresho...

متن کاملAdaptive Signal Detection in Auto-Regressive Interference with Gaussian Spectrum
A detector for the case of a radar target with known Doppler and unknown complex amplitude in complex Gaussian noise with unknown parameters has been derived. The detector assumes that the noise is an Auto-Regressive (AR) process with Gaussian autocorrelation function which is a suitable model for ground clutter in most scenarios involving airborne radars. The detector estimates the unknown...
متن کاملVoice activity detection based on conjugate subspace matching pursuit and likelihood ratio test
Most of voice activity detection (VAD) schemes are operated in the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) domain by classifying each sound frame into speech or noise based on the DFT coefficients. These coefficients are used as features in VAD, and thus the robustness of these features has an important effect on the performance of VAD scheme. However, some shortcomings of modeling a signal in the DFT...
متن کاملImproved voice activity detection based on a smoothed statistical likelihood ratio
This paper presents the behavioural mechanism of a statistical modelbased voice activity detector (VAD), featuring a likelihood ratio test for the activity decision. From investigation of the VAD, it is found that detection errors could occur frequently at speech offset regions because of the delay term in the decision-directed parameter estimator, employed for the estimation of an unknown para...
