Matlab – Spekaer Identification
Essay title: Matlab – Spekaer Identification
Our objective is to design a close-set system that would recognize five designated speakers by using some of the DSP techniques we learned in MATLAB. To do this, we have a pre-recorded template that stores each speaker’s distinctive features. We will use this template to do a mix and match with the speakers in our system.
Speaker identification refers to the process of identifying an individual by extracting and processing information from his speech. This is a fascinating area of research. From speech itself, we can deduce quite accurately whether the speaker is male or female, adult or child. It is also possible to detect the emotional state, and attitude of the speaker. History of this specific area is not quite well known because not many people succeeded in developing this system.
Our motivations came from our interest for DSP in the field of Electrical Engineering. To be a little more specific, the motivation came from the courses that we have learned in signal processing at UC Riverside. Our goals are developed as we go along because we wish to accomplish quite a few things with the speaker identification system. However, our primary goal is finish the project with the satisfaction of accomplishing something that
