Compared with conventional vector quantization, LVQ has two main advantages： It has a simple and fast encoding process, and it significantly reduces the amount of memory required. Therefore, LVQ is suitable for use in low-complexity speech and audio coding. In this paper, we describe the basic concepts of LVQ and its advantages over conventional vector quantization. We also describe some LVQ techniques that have been used in speech and audio coding standards of international standards developing organizations （SDOs）.展开更多

An algorithm reducing search complexity for adaptive codebook is suggested; the solving method that the parameters are changed into LSP parameters is discussed. The realtime implementation process of this coding on a commercial development board with a single TMS320C30 is described.展开更多

These techniques increase the class separability and optimize the clustering procedure. Speaker-dependent (SD) and speaker-independent (SI) experiments are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The experiment results show that the proposed method is capable of reaching the word error rate of 3.76% in SD case and 6.60 % in SI case. Such a system can be suitable for being embedded in personal digital assistant(PDA), mobile phone and so on to perform voice controlling such as digit dialing, calculating, etc.展开更多

Despite that SR systems are working reasonably well in quiet conditions, they still suffer severe performance degradation in noisy conditions or distorted channels. It is necessary to search for more robust feature extraction methods to gain better performance in adverse conditions. This paper investigates the performance of conventional and new hybrid speech feature extraction algorithms of Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (MFCC), Linear Prediction Coding Coefficient (LPCC), perceptual linear production (PLP), and RASTA-PLP in noisy conditions through using multivariate Hidden Markov Model (HMM) classifier. The behavior of the proposal system is evaluated using TIDIGIT human voice dataset corpora, recorded from 208 different adult speakers in both training and testing process. The theoretical basis for speech processing and classifier procedures were presented, and the recognition results were obtained based on word recognition rate.展开更多
