Speech Emotion Feature Extraction Using FFT Spectrum Analysis

Abstract:

Speech Emotion Recognition has widely researched and applied to some appllication such as for communication with robot, E-learning system and emergency call etc.Speech emotion feature extraction is an importance key to achieve the speech emotion recognition which can be classify for personal identity. Speech emotion features are extracted into several coefficients such as Linear Predictive Coefficients (LPCs), Linear Spectral Frequency (LSF), Zero-Crossing (ZC), Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC) [1-6] etc. There are some of research works which have been done in the speech emotion recgnition. A study of zero-crossing with peak-amplitudes in speech emotion classification is introduced in [4]. The results shown that it provides the the technique to extract the emotion feature in time-domain, which still got the problem in amplitude shifting. The emotion recognition from speech is descrpited in [5]. It used the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for extractor of feature speech. The GMM is provided the good results to reduce the back ground noise, howere it still have to focus on random noise in GMM for recognition model. The speech emotion recognition using hidden markov model and support vector machine is explained in [6]. The results shown the average performance of recognition system according to the features of speech emotion still has got the error information. Thus [1-6] provides the recognition performance which still requiers more focus on speech features.
