There is a vast amount of research being done in the area of voice recognition. A large portion of this research concentrates on developing algorithms that will yield higher accuracy rates; such as algorithms based on dynamic time warping, vector quantization, and other mathematical methods [l2][21][l5].
In this research, the evaluation of the feasibility of using linear prediction (LP) with time-varying parameters as a base for a voice recognition algorithm will be investigated. First the development of an anti-aliasing filter is discussed with some results from the filter hardware realization included. Then a brief discussion of LP is presented and a method for time-varying LP is derived from this discussion. A comparison between time-varying and segmentation LP is made and a description of the developed algorithm that tests time-varying LP as a recognition technique is given. The evaluation is conducted with the developed algorithm configured for speaker-dependent and speaker-independent isolated-word recognition.
The conclusion drawn from this research is that this particular technique of voice recognition is very feasible as a base for a voice recognition algorithm. With the incorporation of other techniques, a complete algorithm can conceivably be developed that will yield very high accuracy rates. Recommendations for algorithm improvements are given along with other techniques that might be added to make a complete recognition algorithm. / Master of Science
