EEL 6825 project Isolated word, speaker independent speech recognition Kaustubh R. Kale Guide: Dr. John G. Harris 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 Description Schematic Diagram Endpoint detection in Java DTW analysis in Matlab Parallel Port operations via C++ Demo Schematic Diagram Endpoint detection in Java. Utterances are of unequal lengths Preceded by silence Use of signal power p[i..j] = ? k=i..j s[k]2 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 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) 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 Classification Errors For speaker dependent operation the classification errors were 20% For speaker independent operation the classification errors were 30%-40% Demonstration End to end operation Future work Making the DTW more robust to ambient noise Achieving speaker independent word recognition Efficient inter component communication Conclusion Via this program the goal of having voice operated smart appliance was achieved The error rate was around 20% Thanks!
