Isolated word, speaker independent speech recognition Kaustubh R. Kale Guide: Dr. John G. Harris EEL 6825 project
Project Goals • To make appliances smart • Use Dynamic Time Warping algorithm • 13 Mel frequency Cepstral coefficients as the extracted features • Gui development and hardware interface EEL 6825 project
Description • Schematic Diagram • Endpoint detection in Java • DTW analysis in Matlab • Parallel Port operations via C++ • Demo FOR MORE INFO... http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~stu/com326/ EEL 6825 project
Schematic Diagram Java Matlab C++ Appliance EEL 6825 project
Endpoint detection in Java. • Utterances are of unequal lengths • Preceded by silence • Use of signal power p[i..j] = k=i..js[k]2 EEL 6825 project
DTW analysis in Matlab • Two basic concepts to be understood: 1. Feature extraction from the time dependant signal 2. Distance calculation: a.Local distance between features b.Global distance between signals EEL 6825 project
DTW Flow • To obtain a global distance, time alignment must be done D(I,j)=min[D(I-1,j-1),D(I-1,j),D(I,j-1)] +d(I,j) EEL 6825 project
C++ interface with the port • The matlab passes on the a parameter to the C++ program • The C++ program drives the respective pins on the parallel port The Parameters: 1 = lights and fan off 2 = lights on and fan off 3 = fan on and lights off 4 = lights on and fan on EEL 6825 project
Classification Errors • For speaker dependent operation the classification errors were 20% • For speaker independent operation the classification errors were 30%-40% EEL 6825 project
Demonstration End to end operation EEL 6825 project
Future work • Making the DTW more robust to ambient noise • Achieving speaker independent word recognition • Efficient inter component communication EEL 6825 project
Conclusion • Via this program the goal of having voice operated smart appliance was achieved • The error rate was around 20% EEL 6825 project
