  • Speech Coding Using Code Excited Linear Prediction
    ISSN : 0976-8491 (Online) | ISSN : 2229-4333 (Print) IJCST VOL . 5, Iss UE SPL - 2, JAN - MAR C H 2014 Speech Coding Using Code Excited Linear Prediction 1Hemanta Kumar Palo, 2Kailash Rout 1ITER, Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India 2Gandhi Institute For Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India Abstract The main problem with the speech coding system is the optimum utilization of channel bandwidth. Due to this the speech signal is coded by using as few bits as possible to get low bit-rate speech coders. As the bit rate of the coder goes low, the intelligibility, SNR and overall quality of the speech signal decreases. Hence a comparative analysis is done of two different types of speech coders in this paper for understanding the utility of these coders in various applications so as to reduce the bandwidth and by different speech coding techniques and by reducing the number of bits without any appreciable compromise on the quality of speech. Hindi language has different number of stops than English , hence the performance of the coders must be checked on different languages. The main objective of this paper is to develop speech coders capable of producing high quality speech at low data rates. The focus of this paper is the development and testing of voice coding systems which cater for the above needs. Keywords PCM, DPCM, ADPCM, LPC, CELP Fig. 1: Speech Production Process I.

Subramanian 1Department of ECE, Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, India 2Department of CSE, Coimbatore Institute of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, India Received 2013-06-03, Revised 2013-07-17; Accepted 2013-11-21 ABSTRACT Speech enhancement has become an essential issue within the field of speech and signal processing, because of the necessity to enhance the performance of voice communication systems in noisy environment. There has been a number of research works being carried out in speech processing but still there is always room for improvement. The main aim is to enhance the apparent quality of the speech and to improve the intelligibility. Signal representation and enhancement in cosine transformation is observed to provide significant results. Discrete Cosine Transformation has been widely used for speech enhancement. In this research work, instead of DCT, Advanced DCT (ADCT) which simultaneous offers energy compaction along with critical sampling and flexible window switching. In order to deal with the issue of frame to frame deviations of the Cosine Transformations, ADCT is integrated with Pitch Synchronous Analysis (PSA). Moreover, in order to improve the noise minimization performance of the system, Improved Iterative Wiener Filtering approach called Constrained Iterative Wiener Filtering (CIWF) is used in this approach. Thus, a novel ADCT based speech enhancement using improved iterative filtering algorithm integrated with PSA is used in this approach.
