International Journal of Biometrics (IJBM), Vol. 2, No. 4, 2010

Abstract: Voice biometric feature extraction is the core task in developing any speaker identification system. This paper proposes a robust feature extraction technique for the purpose of speaker identification. The technique is based on processing monaural speech signal using human auditory system based Gammatone Filterbank (GTF) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA). The measures used to assess the robustness to additive noises and speaker identification performance are defined and discussed. The kkn the proposed feature is evaluated in real environments under varying noisy conditions. The proposed feature is benchmarked against the commonly used features such as: MFCC, PLCC, and PLP, and it outperforms them in different noisy environments.
