Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A speech feature extraction apparatus, speech feature extraction method, and speech feature extraction program. A speech feature extraction apparatus includes: first difference calculation module to: (i) receive, as an input, a spectrum of a speech signal segmented into frames for each frequency bin; and (ii) calculate a delta spectrum for each of the frame, where the delta spectrum is a difference of the spectrum within continuous frames for the frequency bin; and first normalization module to normalize the delta spectrum of the frame for the frequency bin by dividing the delta spectrum by a function of an average spectrum; where the average spectrum is an average of spectra through all frames that are overall speech for the frequency bin; and where an output of the first normalization module is defined as a first delta feature.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A speech feature extraction apparatus comprising: first difference calculation module to: (i) receive, as an input, a spectrum of a speech signal segmented into frames for each frequency bin; and (ii) calculate a delta spectrum for each of said frame, wherein said delta spectrum is a difference of said spectrum within continuous frames for said frequency bin; and first normalization module to normalize said delta spectrum of said frame for said frequ…
