Voiced/Unvoiced/Silence Classification of Speech Signal Using Wavelet Transform

Abstract

|
Speech signals are, depending on the characteristics of waveform, classified as voiced sound, unvoiced sound, and silence. Voced sound, produced by an air flow generated by the vibration of the vocal cords, is quasi-periodic, while unvoiced sound, produced by a turbulent air flow passed through some constriction in the vocal tract, is noise-like. silence represents the ambient noise signal during the absence of speech. The need for deciding whether a given segment of a speech waveform should be classified as voiced, unvoiced, or silence has arisen in many speech analysis systems. In this paper, a voiced/unvoced/silence classification algorithm using spectral change in the wavelet transformed signal is proposed and then, experimental results are demonstrated with our discussions.
Keywords: voiced sound, unvoiced sound, sound classification, wavelet transform
