    摘要: A sound recognition system including time-dependent analog filtered feature extraction and sequencing. An analog front end (AFE) in the system receives input analog signals, such as signals representing an audio input to a microphone. Features in the input signal are extracted, by measuring such attributes as zero crossing events and total energy in filtered versions of the signal with different frequency characteristics at different times during the audio event. In one embodiment, a tunable analog filter is controlled to change its frequency characteristics at different times during the event. In another embodiment, multiple analog filters with different filter characteristics filter the input signal in parallel, and signal features are extracted from each filtered signal; a multiplexer selects the desired features at different times during the event.

    摘要: A speech detection apparatus and method are provided. The speech detection apparatus and method determine whether a frame is speech or not using feature information extracted from an input signal. The speech detection apparatus may estimate a situation related to an input frame and determine which feature information is required for speech detection for the input frame in the estimated situation. The speech detection apparatus may detect a speech signal using dynamic feature information that may be more suitable to the situation of a particular frame, instead of using the same feature information for each and every frame.

    摘要: In described examples, a method for detecting voice activity includes: receiving a first input signal containing noise; sampling the first input signal to form noise samples; determining a first value corresponding to the noise samples; subsequently receiving a second input signal; sampling the second input signal to form second signal samples; determining a second value corresponding to the second signal samples; forming a ratio of the second value to the first value; comparing the ratio to a predetermined threshold value; and responsive to the comparing, indicating whether voice activity is detected in the second input signal.
