Speech processing based on time series of maximum values of cross-power spectrum phase between two consecutive speech frames

摘要

A speech signal processing system which outputs a speech feature, divides an input speech signal into frames so that each pair of consecutive frames have a frame shift length equal to at least one period of the speech signal and have an overlap equal to at least a predetermined length, applies discrete Fourier transform to each of the frames, calculates a CSP coefficient for the pair, searches a predetermined search range in which a speech wave lags a period equal to at least one period to obtain the maximum value of the CSP coefficient for the pair, and generates time-series data of the maximum CSP coefficient values arranged in the order in which the frames appear. A method and a computer readable article of manufacture for the implementing the same are also provided.
