Efficient Implementation of Statistical Model-Based Voice Activity Detection Using Taylor Series Approximation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this letter, we propose a simple but effective technique that improves statistical model-based voice activity detection (VAD) by both reducing computational complexity and increasing detection accuracy. The improvements are made by applying Taylor series approximations to the exponential and logarithmic functions in the VAD algorithm based on an in-depth analysis of the algorithm. Experiments performed on a smartphone as well as on a desktop computer with various background noises confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique. key words: voice activity detection, Taylor series approximation, embedded systems

A New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملSTRUCTURAL DAMAGE DETECTION BY MODEL UPDATING METHOD BASED ON CASCADE FEED-FORWARD NEURAL NETWORK AS AN EFFICIENT APPROXIMATION MECHANISM
Vibration based techniques of structural damage detection using model updating method, are computationally expensive for large-scale structures. In this study, after locating precisely the eventual damage of a structure using modal strain energy based index (MSEBI), To efficiently reduce the computational cost of model updating during the optimization process of damage severity detection, the M...
متن کاملDamage identification of structures using second-order approximation of Neumann series expansion
In this paper, a novel approach proposed for structural damage detection from limited number of sensors using extreme learning machine (ELM). As the number of sensors used to measure modal data is normally limited and usually are less than the number of DOFs in the finite element model, the model reduction approach should be used to match with incomplete measured mode shapes. The second-order a...
متن کاملThe combined reproducing kernel method and Taylor series for solving nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integro-differential equations
In this letter, the numerical scheme of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integro-differential equations is proposed in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). The method is constructed based on the reproducing kernel properties in which the initial condition of the problem is satised. The nonlinear terms are replaced by its Taylor series. In this technique, the nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integro...
متن کاملExternal and Internal Incompressible Viscous Flows Computation using Taylor Series Expansion and Least Square based Lattice Boltzmann Method
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...
