This document summarizes research on using linear predictive coding (LPC) and related techniques for speech recognition and compression. Key points discussed include:
1) LPC is used to compress and encode speech signals for transmission by determining a filter to predict samples from past values, minimizing error. Filter coefficients are encoded and decoded.
2) LPC and PARCOR parameters can characterize phonemes and have potential for speech recognition by analyzing short frames of speech. Recognition rates of 65% for vowels and 94% for consonants were achieved.
3) An LPC-based speech coding system was implemented and tested for mobile radio communications, achieving a bit error rate performance suitable for speech transmission.
This document discusses speaker recognition using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). It describes the process of feature extraction using MFCC which involves framing the speech signal, taking the Fourier transform of each frame, warping the frequencies using the mel scale, taking the logs of the powers at each mel frequency, and converting to cepstral coefficients. It then discusses feature matching techniques like vector quantization which clusters reference speaker features to create codebooks for comparison to unknown speakers. The document provides references for further reading on speech and speaker recognition techniques.
Subband coding decomposes a source signal into constituent frequency bands using digital filters like low-pass and high-pass filters. This separation into subbands allows each frequency component to be encoded and decoded separately, improving compression performance over techniques that treat the whole signal as one. The basic subband coding algorithm involves analysis using filtering and decimation to separate the signal, quantization and coding of the subband signals, and synthesis by decoding, upsampling and reconstruction filtering to reconstruct the original signal. Applications of subband coding include speech coding, audio coding and image compression, with MPEG audio standards using subband coding with 32 filters and bandwidths of f/64.
The document summarizes the registers used to control the watchdog timer on the LPC2148 microcontroller. It describes the WDMOD, WDTV, WDFEED, and WDTC registers that configure the watchdog mode, read the timer value, feed the timer, and set the reload constant. It explains that the watchdog timer must be periodically fed by writing 0xAA followed by 0x55 to the WDFEED register before it underflows, otherwise a reset or interrupt will occur. Applications where watchdog timers prevent system failures from software hangs or timeouts are also listed.
Keypad scanner using Verilog code in VLSI SystemsSrishti Kakade
This document describes a keypad scanner circuit with 3 columns and 4 rows that is able to detect which key is pressed and output a 4-bit binary number corresponding to the key. It includes a block diagram, truth table, and Verilog code for the scanner. When a valid key is detected, the circuit will output a signal for one clock cycle. Potential applications of the keypad scanner include mobile phones, calculators, ATMs, and telephones.
The document discusses audio steganography, which is the hiding of secret information within audio files. It describes how the process embeds messages in a digitized audio signal imperceptibly. Several methods for audio data hiding are listed, including least significant bit encoding and discrete wavelet transforms. Audio steganography offers benefits like higher data capacity and greater security compared to image steganography. However, it also entails technical risks from device or software failures and non-technical risks if users do not know how to operate the software properly.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) is one of the most powerful
speech analysis techniques, and one of the most useful
methods for encoding good quality speech at a low bit rate. It
provides extremely accurate estimates of speech parameters,
and is relatively efficient for computation.
• The most important aspect of LPC is the linear predictive filter
which allows the value of the next sample to be determined
by a linear combination of previous samples
3. • This provides a rate of 64000 bits/second. Linear predictive coding
reduces this to 2400 bits/second. At this reduced rate the speech
has a distinctive synthetic sound and there is a noticeable loss of
quality. However, the speech is still audible and it can still be easily
understood. Since there is information loss in linear predictive
coding, it is a lossy form of compression.
• LPC starts with the assumption that the speech signal is produced
by a buzzer at the end of a tube. The glottis (the space between the
vocal cords) produces the buzz, which is characterized by its
intensity (loudness) and frequency (pitch). The vocal tract (the
throat and mouth) forms the tube, which is characterized by its
resonances, which are called formants.
4. • A signal processing is an activity to extract a signal information.
Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) is a powerful speech analysis
technique and facilitating a features extraction which has a good
quality and efficient result for computing. In 1978, LPC uses to make
a speech synthesis. LPC doing an analysis with predicting a formant
decided a formant from signal called inverse filtering, then
estimated an intensity and frequency from residue speech signal.
Because speech signal has many variations depending on a time,
the estimation will do to cut a signal called frame
7. Preemphasis
• On processing of speech signal, preemphasis filter needed
after sampling process. The filtering purpose is to get a
smooth spectral shape of the speech signal. A spectral which
have a high value for the low-frequency field and decrease for
field frequency higher than 2000 Hz. Preemphasis filter based
on the relation of input/output on time domain which is
shown by the equation (1),
•
• a is a constant of preemphasis filter, ordinary have 0.9 < a <
1.0.
8. Frame Blocking
Frame Blocking:
• On this process, segmented of speech signal become some
frame which overlaps. So that no signal is lost (deletion).
9. Windowing.
• Analog signal which converts become digital
signal read frame by frame and each frame is
windowing with the certain window function.
This windowing process purpose to minimize
discontinue signal from initial to end of each
frame. If window as w(n), 0 ≤ n ≤ N – 1, when N
is total of sample of each frame, thus result of
windowing is a signal:
10. Auto-correlation Analysis
• The next step is autocorrelation analysis toward each frame
result by windowing y1 (n) with equation (4),
• (4) Where p is ordered from LPC. LPC order which usually used
is between 8 until 16.
11. • This step will convert each frame from p+1 autocorrelation become
compilation of “LPC parameter”
• This compilation becomes LPC coefficient or become other LPC
transformation. The formal method to change autocorrelation
coefficient become parameter LPC compilation called Durbin
method, the form as:

15. LPC: Vocoder
• It has two key components: analysis or encoding and synthesis or
decoding. The analysis part of LPC involves examining the speech
signal and breaking it down into segments or blocks.
• Each segment is than examined further to find the answers to
several key questions:
• Is the segment voiced or unvoiced?
• What is the pitch of the segment?
• What parameters are needed to build a filter that models the vocal
tract for the current segment?
LPC analysis is usually conducted by a sender who answers these
questions and usually transmits these answers onto a receiver.
18. • Each segment of speech has a different LPC filter that is eventually
produced using the reflection coefficients and the gain that are
received from the encoder.
• 10 reflection coefficients are used for voiced segment filters and 4
reflection coefficients are used for unvoiced segments. These
reflection coefficients are used to generate the vocal tract
coefficients or parameters which are used to create the filter.
• The final step of decoding a segment of speech is to pass the
excitement signal through the filter to produce the synthesized
speech signal.
