Title
A HYBRID PARAMETERIZATION TECHNIQUE FOR SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION
Abstract
Classical parameterization techniques for Speaker Identifi- cation use the codification of the power spectral density of raw speech, not discriminating between articulatory features produced by vocal tract dynamics (acoustic-phonetics) from glottal source biometry. Through the present paper a study is conducted to separate voicing fragments of speech into vo- cal and glottal components, dominated respectively by the vocal tract transfer function estimated adaptively to track the acoustic-phonetic sequence of the message, and by the glottal characteristics of the speaker and the phonation ges- ture. The separation methodology is based in Joint Process Estimation under the uncorrelation hypothesis between vo- cal and glottal spectral distributions. Its application on voiced speech is presented in the time and frequency do- mains. The parameterization methodology is also described. Speaker Identification experiments conducted on 245 speak- ers are shown comparing different parameterization strate- gies. The results confirm the better performance of de- coupled parameterization compared against approaches based on plain speech parameterization.
