Explicit expressions for the second order statistics of cepstral components representing clean and noisy signal waveforms are derived. The noise is assumed additive to the signal, and the spectral components of each process are assumed statistically independent complex Gaussian random variables. The key result developed here is an explicit expression for the cross-covariance between the log-per...

In this paper, we propose several compensation approaches to alleviate the effect of additive noise on speech features for speech recognition. These approaches are simple yet efficient noise reduction techniques that use online constructed pseudo stereo codebooks to evaluate the statistics in both clean and noisy environments. The process yields transforms for noisecorrupted speech features to ...

This letter investigates the use of subglottal resonances (SGRs) for noise-robust speaker identification (SID). It is motivated by the speaker specificity and stationarity of subglottal acoustics, and the development of noise-robust SGR estimation algorithms which are reliable at low signal-to-noise ratios for large datasets. A two-stage framework is proposed which combines the SGRs with differ...

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of different features and channel compensation techniques for robust speaker identification. The goal is to keep all processing and classification steps constant and to vary only the features and compensations used to allow a controlled comparison. A general, maximum-likelihood classifier based on Gaussian mixture densities is used as the classifie...

We show how to construct a channel-independent representation of speech that has propagated through a noisy reverberant channel. This is done by blindly rescaling the cepstral time series by a nonlinear function, with the form of this scale function being determined by previously encountered cepstra from that channel. The rescaled form of the time series is an invariant property of it in the fo...

A method based on cepstral deconvolution technique is proposed for measurement of absorption and scattering coefficients of materials. The reverberation room method standardized by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is taken as the reference for measurements. Several measurements are conducted in a physically scaled reverberation room and results are evaluated by these two met...
