| Summary: | The article presents a~novel method of speaker individual
characteristics normalization and linear transmission distortion compensation
aimed at improving the effectiveness of short isolated utterances recognition.
To achieve this goal, spectral transformation banks of a~speaker's signal and
the division of speakers into classes were applied. The article also discusses
the form of spectral transformation, the method of its parameter values
optimization, the method of transformation banks definition, the method of
speaker classes selection and the way of iterative improvement of recognition
results. Moreover, the study puts forward a fast method of speaker classes
selection on the basis of the fundamental voice frequency. The efficiency of the
proposed solution has been validated by the recognition results obtained by
means of four versions of a recognition system using Hidden Markov Models (HMM)
and the mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) parametrization. |
