Abstract

This paper proposes hybrid classification models and preprocessing methods for enhancing the consonant-vowel (CV) recognition in the presence of background noise. Background Noise is one of the major degradation in real-time environments which strongly effects the performance of speech recognition system. In this work, combined temporal and spectral processing (TSP) methods are explored for preprocessing to improve CV recognition performance. Proposed CV recognition method is carried out in two levels to reduce the similarity among large number of CV classes. In the first level vowel category of CV unit will be recognized, and in the second level consonant category will be recognized. At each level complementary evidences from hybrid models consisting of support vector machine (SVM) and hidden Markov models (HMM) are combined for enhancing the recognition performance. Performance of the proposed CV recognition system is evaluated on Telugu broadcast database for white and vehicle noise. The proposed preprocessing methods and hybrid classification models have improved the recognition performance compared to existed methods.
