Noise Robust Speech Recognitio Extracted by Hough Tr

چکیده
This paper proposes a noise robust speech recognition method using prosodic information. In Japanese, fundamental frequency (F0) contour represents phrase intonation and word accent information. Consequently, it conveys information about prosodic phrase and word boundaries. This paper first proposes a noise robust F0 extraction method using Hough transform, which achieves high extraction rates under various noise environments. Then it proposes a robust speech recognition method using syllable HMMs which model both segmental spectral features and F0 contours. Speaker-independent experiments are conducted using connected digits uttered by 11 male speakers in various kinds of noise and SNR conditions. The recognition accuracy is improved in all noise conditions, and the best absolute improvement of digit accuracy is about 4.7%. This improvement is achieved due to the more precise digit boundary detection by the robust prosodic information.

Noise robust speech recognition using spectral subtraction and F0 information extracted by Hough transform
We propose a noise robust speech recognition method based on combining novel features extracted from fundamental frequency (F0) information and spectral subtraction. F0 features have been shown to be effective in speech recognition in noisy environments. Recently, F0 features obtained by Hough transform were developed for concatenated digit recognition and significantly improved recognition per...

متن کاملEvaluation of Robust Speech Recognitio Speech Recognition in a Noisy Aut
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of several robust speech recognition algorithms in a noisy automobile environment as characterized by the Finnish SpeechDat–Car ASR task [1]. By applying acoustic feature compensation, model compensation, and speech detection algorithms to this task, a 51% reduction in word error rate (WER) was obtained relative to the ETSI standard ASR front–end. In a...

The Mel Frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. In this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of MFCC vector estimated through following steps. First, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...
