Performance improvement of text-independent speaker verification systems based on histogram enhancement in noisy environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a histogram enhancement technique is presented in order to improve the robustness of text-independent speaker verification systems. The technique transforms the features extracted from speech such that the contrast of their histogram is enhanced. Experiments showed significant improvements for this technique compared to standard techniques both in clean testing environments, and in the presence of additive noise.

Absfrm-Noise robustness of automatic speaker verification systems is crucial in real life applications. A study on the performance of several spectral subtraction-based speech enhancement techniques shows the poor performance of these algorithms when used as a preprocessing stage of the speaker verification system in the presence of colored noise. In this paper, a new technique based on the add...
متن کاملUsing 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.
