On the Extraction of the Valid Speech-Sound by the Merging Algorithm with the Discrete Wavelet Transform

摘要

A valid speech-sound block can be classified to provide important information for speech recognition. The classification of the speech-sound block comes from the MR A (multi-resolution analysis) property of the DWT(discrete wavelet transform), which is used to reduce the computational time for the pre-processing of speech recognition. The merging algorithm is proposed to extract valid speech-sounds in terms of position and frequency range. It needs some numerical methods for an adaptive DWT implementation and performs unvoiced/voiced classification and denoising. Since the merging algorithm can decide the processing parameters relating to voices only and is independent of system noises, it is useful for extracting valid speech-sounds. The merging algorithm has an adaptive feature for arbitrary system noises and an excellent denoising SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
