Missing features detection and handling for robust speaker verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of robust textindependent speaker verification in the presence of missing (masked by noise) features. It presents and assesses several missing feature handling approaches. In these approaches, the speech enhancement and missing feature detection are based on the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) spectral amplitude estimator of Ephraim and Malah [1].

Using Exciting and Spectral Envelope Information and Matrix Quantization for Improvement of the Speaker Verification Systems
Speaker verification from talking a few words of sentences has many applications. Many methods as DTW, HMM, VQ and MQ can be used for speaker verification. We applied MQ for its precise, reliable and robust performance with computational simplicity. We also used pitch frequency and log gain contour for further improvement of the system performance.

متن کاملMissing feature theory with soft spectral subtraction for speaker verification
This paper considers the problem of training/testing mismatch in the context of speaker verification and, in particular, explores the application of missing feature theory in the case of additive white Gaussian noise corruption in testing. Missing feature theory allows for corrupted features to be removed from scoring, the initial step of which is the detection of these features. One method of ...
متن کاملSpeaker verification in noisy environments with combined spectral subtraction and missing feature theory
In the framework of Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) [1], we present a new approach towards robust automatic speaker verification (SV) in adverse conditions. This new and simple approach is based on the combination of a speech enhancement using traditional spectral subtraction, and a missing feature compensation to dynamically modify the probability computations performed in GMM recognizers. The ...
متن کاملMultimodal Speaker Verification Based on Electroglottograph Signal and Glottal Activity Detection
To achieve robust speaker verification, we propose a multimodal method which includes additional nonaudio features and glottal activity detector. As a nonaudio sensor an electroglottograph (EGG) is applied. Parameters of EGG signal are used to augment conventional audio feature vector. Algorithm for EGG parameterization is based on the shape of the idealized waveform and glottal activity detect...
