Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to achieve a high performance speech signal processing based on a mathematical model of the human peripheral auditory system. In order to verify the validity of the model, the multi-dimensional pulse signals generated by the model are analyzed. As a result, it is confirmed that the peripheral auditory model has the characteristics of the human auditory sense such as frequency selectivity, two-tone suppression, masking, and so on. Furthermore, the model is applied to speaker identification in noisy environment. Experimental results show that the proposed method based on the peripheral auditory model has a better performance than the conventional methods in case where the noise level is high.
