Abstract

We propose a method for speech signal preprocessing based on band filtering of the logarithmic amplitude spectrum with a filter with odd impulse characteristic. With such filtering, we can detect local nonuniformities in the spectrum of a speech signal caused by abrupt inclinations of the vocal tract frequency characteristic, which represent useful features for speech recognition. We show examples of using the proposed approach on natural speech signals.
