Detection of a human emotion from human speech is always a challenging task. Factors like intonation, pitch, and loudness of signal vary from different human voice. So, it's important to know the exact pitch, intonation and loudness of a speech for making it a challenging task for detection. Some voices exhibit high background noise which will affect the amplitude or pitch of the signal. So, knowing the detailed properties of a speech to detect emotion is mandatory. Detection of emotion in humans from speech signals is a recent research field. One of the scenarios where this field has been applied is in situations where the human integrity and security are at risk In this project we are proposing a set of features based on the decomposition signals from discrete wavelet transform to characterize different types of negative emotions such as anger, happy, sad, and desperation. The features are measured in three different conditions: (1) the original speech signals, (2) the signals that are contaminated with noise or are affected by the presence of a phone channel, and (3) the signals that are obtained after processing using an algorithm for Speech Enhancement Transform. According to the results, when the speech enhancement is applied, the detection of emotion in speech is increased and compared to results obtained when the speech signal is highly contaminated with noise. Our objective is to use Artificial neural network because the brain is the most efficient and best machine to recognize speech. The brain is built with some neural network. At the same time, Artificial neural networks are clearly advanced with respect to several features, such as their nonlinearity and high classification capability. If we use Artificial neural networks to evolve the machine or computer that it can detect the emotion. Here we are using feedforward neural network which is suitable for classification process and using sigmoid function as activation function. The detection of human emotion from speech is achieved by training the neural network with features extracted from the speech. To achieve this, we need proper features from the speech. So, we must remove background noise in the speech. We can remove background noise by using filters. wavelet transform is the filtering technique used to remove the background noise and enhance the required features in the speech.
