Abstract

A traditional speech enhancement methods distort the sound spectrum generated according to estimation of the remaining noise, or invalid noise is a problem of lowering the speech recognition performance. In this paper, we propose a speech detection method that convergence the sound energy distribution process and sound energy parameters. The proposed method was used to receive properties reduce the influence of noise to maximize voice energy. In addition, the smaller value from the feature parameters of the speech signal The log energy features of the interval having a more of the log energy value relative to the region having a large energy similar to the log energy feature of the size of the voice signal containing the noise which reducing the mismatch of the training and the recognition environment recognition experiments Results confirmed that the improved recognition performance are checked compared to the conventional method. Car noise environment of Pause Hit Rate is in the 0dB and 5dB lower SNR region showed an accuracy of 97.1% and 97.3% in the high SNR region 10dB and 15dB 98.3%, showed an accuracy of 98.6%.

전통적인 음성 향상 방법은 잘못된 잡음의 추정에 따라 남아있는 잡음이 발생하여 음성 스펙트럼을 왜곡하거나 음성 프레임을 찾지 못하여 음성 인식 성능을 저하시키는 문제가 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 음성 에너지 분포 처리와 음성 에너지 파라미터를 융합한 음성 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 음성 에너지를 최대화시켜 잡음의 영향을 적게 받는 특성을 이용하였다. 또한, 음성 신호의 특징 파라미터 중에서 작은 값을 가지는 로그에너지 특징의 구간에서는 큰 에너지를 가지는 구간에 비해 상대적으로 로그에너지 값을 더 많이 키워서 잡음이 포함한 음성신호의 로그에너지 특징의 크기와 비슷하게 하여 훈련과 인식 환경의 불일치를 융합으로 인해 줄여준다. 인식 실험 결과 기존 방법에 비해 향상된 인식 성능을 확인할 수 있었으며, car 잡음 환경의 음성 구간 적중률은 낮은 SNR구간인 0dB과 5dB에서는 97.1%와 97.3%의 정확도를 보였으며, 높은 SNR구간인 10dB와 15dB에서는 98.3%, 98.6%의 정확도를 보였다.
