Abstract

As the speech recognition systems are used in many emerging applications, robust performance of speech recognition systems under extremely noisy conditions become more important. The voice activity detection (VAD) has been taken into account as one of the important factors for robust speech recognition. In this paper, we investigate conventional VAD algorithms and analyze the weak and the strong points of each algorithm.
