This paper focuses on the DSP implementation of an HMM-based speech recognizer that can handle several hundred words of vocabulary size as well as speaker independency. First, we develop an HMM-based speech recognition system on the PC that operates on the frame basis with parallel processing of feature extraction and Viterbi decoding to make the processing delay as small as possible. Many techniques such as linear discriminant analysis, state-based Gaussian selection, and phonetic tied mixture model are employed for reduction of computational burden and memory size. The system is then properly optimized and compiled on the TMS320C6711 DSP for real-time operation. The implemented system uses 486kbytes of memory for data and acoustic models, and 24.5 kbytes for program code. Maximum required time of 29.2 ms for processing a frame of 32 ms of speech validates real-time operation of the implemented system.

In this paper, we focused on the real time implementation of a speech recognition system with medium size of vocabulary considering its application to a mobile phone. First, we developed the PC based variable vocabulary word recognizer having the size of program memory and total acoustic models as small as possible. To reduce the memory size of acoustic models, linear discriminant analysis and phonetic tied mixture were applied in the feature selection process and training HMMs, respectively. In addition, state based Gaussian selection method with the real time cepstral normalization was used for reduction of computational load and robust recognition. Then, we verified the real-time operation of the implemented recognition system on the TMS320C6201 EVM board. The implemented recognition system uses memory size of about 610 kbytes including both program memory and data memory. The recognition rate was 95.86% for ETRI 445DB, and 96.4%, 97.92%, 87.04% for three kinds of name databases collected through the mobile phones.

In this paper, implementation of speech Recognizer system, Separated from Personal computer. By using DSP, this intends to extend the voice recognizing, limited into PC because of amount of data and calculations. For this performance The thesis uses the real time End point detector and organizes no additional device between human and the system, characteristic vector are that detects End point and voice from absolute energy and ZCR, that uses 12 difference Cepstrum from LPC, that uses the method to compensate the process of pattern separating and pre-calculated standard pattern limitation.

실시간 음성 인식기의 구현에 있어서 선행되어야 할 과제는 신뢰성 있는 음성구간 검출과 적절한 음성특징벡터를 구하는 것이다. 그러나, 주변 잡음이 인가되는 환경에서는 신뢰성 있는 음성구간 검출이 어렵게 되어 적절한 음성특징벡터를 구할 수 없게 되어 최종적으로 인식기의 성능 저하를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 사용되어지는 단구간 파러 스펙트럼 외에 잡음에 강인한 특성을 가질 수 있도록 하는 새로운 특징 파라메터로써 스펙트럼 밀도비교척도와 선형회귀를 이용한 선형결정함수를 사용하였다. 이러한 두 가지 파라메터를 추가하여 주변 잡음의 크기에 따라 각각의 (파라메터를 적절한 가중치로 조합하여 음성구간 결정을 수행한 다음 DTW를 사용하여 인식실험을 한 결과 주변 잡음이 존재하는 환경에서도 강인한 특성을 가짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 범용 디지털 신호처리기를 이용한 잡음환경에 강인한 실시간 화자 독립 음성인식 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 TI사의 범용 부동소수점 디지털 신호처리기인 TMS320C32를 이용하였고, 실시간 음성 입력을 위한 음성 CODEC과 외부 인터페이스를 확장하여 인식결과를 출력하도록 구성하였다. 실시간 음성 인식기에 사용한 음성특징 파라메터는 일반적으로 사용되어 지는 MFCC(Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient)대신 독립성분분석을 통해 MFCC의 특징 공간을 변화시킨 파라메터를 사용하여 외부잡음 환경에 강인한 특성을 지니도록 하였다. 두 가지 특징 파라메터에 대해 잡음 환경에서의 인식실험 결과, 독립성분 분석에 의한 특징 파라메터의 인식 성능이 MFCC보다 우수함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper describes a speech recognizer implemented on PDAs. The recognizer consists of feature extraction module, search module and utterance verification module. It can recognize 37 words that can be used in the telematics application and fixed-point operation is performed for real-time processing. Simulation results show that recognition accuracy is 94.5% for the in-vocabulary words and 56.8% for the out-of-task words.

In this paper, we discuss the user-customized interaction for intelligent home environments. The interactive system is based upon the integrated techniques using both speech and face recognition. For essential modules, the speech recognition and synthesis were basically used for a virtual interaction between user and proposed system. In experiments, particularly, the real-time speech recognizer based on the HM-Net(Hidden Markov Network) was incorporated into the integrated system. Besides, the face identification was adopted to customize home environments for a specific user. In evaluation, the results showed that the proposed system was easy to use for intelligent home environments, even though the performance of the speech recognizer did not show a satisfactory results owing to the noisy environments.

This paper presents a real-time implementation of a speaker independent speech recognition system based on a discrete hidden markov model(DHMM). This system is developed for a car navigation system to design on-chip VLSI system of speech recognition which is used by fixed point Oak DSP core of DSP GROUP LTD. We analyze recognition procedure with C language to implement fixed point real-time algorithms. Based on the analyses, we improve the algorithms which are possible to operate in real-time, and can verify the recognition result at the same time as speech ends, by processing all recognition routines within a frame. A car noise is the colored noise concentrated heavily on the low frequency segment under 400 Hz. For the noise robust processing, the high pass filtering and the liftering on the distance measure of feature vectors are applied to the recognition system. Recognition experiments on the twelve isolated command words were performed. The recognition rates of the baseline recognizer were 98.68% in a stopping situation and 80.7% in a running situation. Using the noise processing methods, the recognition rates were enhanced to 89.04% in a running situation.
