hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. this massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. we propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...

Speech recognition basically means talking to a computer, having it recognize what Speakers are saying. The person would also like to interact with computer via speech. It can be accomplished by speech recognition system in which computer identifies the word spoken by a speaker into a microphone. Speech recognition is becoming more complex and a challenging task. The research is focusing on lar...

Extracting human's voice feature is the most important process in any speech recognition system. There are many feature extraction techniques which are already used such as MFCC, LPC and ZCPA; but still have some problems especially in the continuous speech. It is important to evaluate different feature extraction techniques for continuous speech by making a comparison between these techniques ...

Automatic recognition of the speech of children is a challenging topic in computer-based speech recognition systems. Conventional feature extraction method namely Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) is not efficient for children’s speech recognition. This paper proposes a novel fuzzy-based discriminative feature representation to address the recognition of Malay vowels uttered by children...

The performance of traditional mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) speech feature extraction method decreases drastically in the complex noisy environment. To improve the performance and robustness of speech recognition system, which is based on spectral envelope estimation method, the minimum distortionless response spectrum MVDR-MFCC (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response-MFCC) feat...

Recognition of reverberant speech constitutes a challenging problem for typical speech recognition systems. This is mainly due to the conventional short-term analysis/compensation techniques. In this paper, we present a feature extraction technique based on modeling long segments of temporal envelopes of the speech signal in narrow sub-bands using frequency domain linear prediction (FDLP). FDLP...

Speech feature extraction has been a key focus in robust speech recognition research. In this work, we discuss data-driven linear feature transformations applied to feature vectors in the logarithmic mel-frequency filter bank domain. Transformations are based on principal component analysis (PCA), independent component analysis (ICA), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Furthermore, this pa...
