A combination between VQ and covariance matrices for speaker recognition
share
This paper presents a new algorithm for speaker recognition based on the combination between the classical Vector Quantization (VQ) and Covariance Matrix (CM) methods. The combined VQ-CM method improves the identification rates of each method alone, with comparable computational burden. It offers a straightforward procedure to obtain a model similar to GMM with full covariance matrices. Experimental results also show that it is more robust against noise than VQ or CM alone.
