Improving the recognition performance of connected digit telephone speech still remains a problem to be solved. As a basic study for it, this paper analyzes the variation of feature parameters of Korean digit telephone speech according to channel distortion. As a feature parameter for analysis and recognition MFCC is used. To analyze the effect of telephone channel distortion depending on each call, MFCCs are first obtained from the connected digit telephone speech for each phoneme included in the Korean digit. Then CMN, RTCN, and RASTA are applied to the MFCC as channel compensation techniques. Using the feature parameters of MFCC, MFCC+CMN, MFCC+RTCN, and MFCC+RASTA, variances of phonemes are analyzed and recognition experiments are done for each case. Experimental results are discussed with our findings and discussions

As a preliminary study for improving recognition performance of the connected digit telephone speech, we investigate feature parameters as well as channel compensation methods of telephone speech. The CMN and RTCN are examined for telephone channel compensation, and the MFCC, DWFBA, SSC and their delta-features are examined as feature parameters. Recognition experiments with database we collected show that in feature level DWFBA is better than MFCC and for channel compensation RTCN is better than CMN. The DWFBA+Delta_ Mel-SSC feature shows the highest recognition rate.

Channel distortion degrades the performance of speech recognizer in telephone environment. It mainly results from the bandwidth limitation and variation of transmission channel. Variation of channel characteristics is usually represented as baseline shift in the cepstrum domain. Thus undesirable effect of the channel variation can be removed by subtracting the mean from the cepstrum. In this paper, to improve the recognition performance of Korea connected digit telephone speech, channel compensation methods such as CMN (Cepstral Mean Normalization), RTCN (Real Time Cepatral Normalization), MCMN (Modified CMN) and MRTCN (Modified RTCN) are applied to the static MFCC. Both MCMN and MRTCN are obtained from the CMN and RTCN, respectively, using variance normalization in the cepstrum domain. Using HTK v3.1 system, recognition experiments are performed for Korean connected digit telephone speech database released by SITEC (Speech Information Technology & Industry Promotion Center). Experiments have shown that MRTCN gives the best result with recognition rate of 90.11% for connected digit. This corresponds to the performance improvement over MFCC alone by 1.72%, i.e, error reduction rate of 14.82%.

Channel distortion and coarticulation effect in the Korean connected digit telephone speech make it difficult to achieve high performance of connected digit recognition in the telephone environment. In this paper, as a basic research to improve the recognition performance of Korean connected digit telephone speech, recognition error patterns are investigated and analyzed. Korean connected digit telephone speech database released by SiTEC and HTK system are used for recognition experiments. Both DWFBA and MRTCN methods are used for feature extraction and channel compensation, respectively. Experimental results are discussed with our findings.

This paper proposes a noise reduction-based speech detection method under telephone channel environments. We adopt the AURORA front-end noise reduction algorithm based on the two-stage mel-warped Wiener filter approach as a preprocessor for the frequency domain speech detector. The speech detector utilizes mel filter-bank based useful band energies as its feature parameters. The preprocessor firstly removes the adverse noise components on the incoming noisy speech signals and the speech detector at the next stage detects proper speech regions for the noise-reduced speech signals. Experimental results show that the proposed noise reduction-based speech detection method is very effective in improving not only the performance of the speech detector but also that of the subsequent speech recognizer.

To improve the recognition performance of Korean connected digit telephone speech, in this paper, both Aurora feature extraction method that employs noise reduction 2-state Wiener filter and DWFBA method are investigated and used. CMN and MRTCN are applied to static features for channel compensation. Telephone digit speech database released by SITEC is used for recognition experiments with HTK system. Experimental results has shown that Aurora feature is slightly better than MFCC and DWFBA without channel compensation. And when channel compensation is included, Aurora feature is slightly better than DWFBA with MRTCN.

This paper presents an implementation of a multi-channel speech surveillance system over telephone lines using TMS320C31 DSP chips. The incoming speech into each telephone line are first compressed simultaneously in real-time by the popular vector-sum excited linear predictive (VSELP) speech coding algorithm at the rate of 8 Kbps. The compressed steech bit streams are then multiplexed with those of other users. The multiplexed speech bit streams are transferred to the system storage equipments with some other required information so that a system operator can later monitor the stored speech data whenever it is necessary. The host program runs under Microsoft Windows95 for an efficient man-machine interface and a future upgrade-ability. We have confirmed that the overall 64-channel system operates satisfactorily in realtime. We also have checked approximately up to 2,880 total hours of recording capability of the system on a playback module and two removable backup drives.

The final purpose of this paper is the enhancement of speech recognition rate under the matched telephone environment between training data and test data. To analyze the effect by the distortion of the changing telephone channel on every call, MFCC is used as the feature parameter and CMN, RTCN, and RASTA are used as channel compensation techniques. For each case, the variation of feature parameters of all phones is analyzed. And, we find recognition rates according to each compensation method using the continuous HMM recognizer, and examine the relationship between variation and recognition rate.
