Title
Speaker identification based on normalized pitch frequency and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients.
Abstract
This paper presents an efficient approach for automatic speaker identification based on cepstral features and the Normalized Pitch Frequency (NPF). Most relevant speaker identification methods adopt a cepstral strategy. Inclusion of the pitch frequency as a new feature in the speaker identification process is expected to enhance the speaker identification accuracy. In the proposed framework for speaker identification, a neural classifier with a single hidden layer is used. Different transform domains are investigated for reliable feature extraction from the speech signal. Moreover, a pre-processing noise reduction step, is used prior to the feature extraction process to enhance the performance of the speaker identification system. Simulation results prove that the NPF as a feature in speaker identification enhances the performance of the speaker identification system, especially with the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and wavelet denoising pre-processing step.
