Foreword This ETSI Standard (ES) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Speech Processing, Transmiss

19、ion and Quality Aspects (STQ), and is now submitted for the ETSI standards Membership Approval Procedure. Introduction The performance of speech recognition systems receiving speech that has been transmitted over mobile channels can be significantly degraded when compared to using an unmodified sign

20、al. The degradations are as a result of both the low bit rate speech coding and channel transmission errors. A Distributed Speech Recognition (DSR) system overcomes these problems by eliminating the speech channel and instead using an error protected data channel to send a parameterized representati

21、on of the speech, which is suitable for recognition. The processing is distributed between the terminal and the network. The terminal performs the feature parameter extraction, or the front-end of the speech recognition system. These features are transmitted over a data channel to a remote “back-end

22、“ recognizer. The end result is that the degradation in performance due to transcoding on the voice channel is removed and channel invariability is achieved. The present document presents a standard for a front-end to ensure compatibility between the terminal and the remote recognizer. The first ETS

23、I standard DSR front-end ES 201 108 1 was published in February 2000 and is based on the Mel-Cepstrum representation that has been used extensively in speech recognition systems. This second standard is for an Advanced DSR front-end that provides substantially improved recognition performance in bac

24、kground noise. Evaluation of the performance during the selection of this standard showed an average of 53 % reduction in speech recognition error rates in noise compared to ES 201 108 1. ETSI ETSI ES 202 050 V1.1.5 (2007-01) 6 1 Scope The present document specifies algorithms for advanced front-end

25、 feature extraction and their transmission which form part of a system for distributed speech recognition. The specification covers the following components: - the algorithm for advanced front-end feature extraction to create Mel-Cepstrum parameters; - the algorithm to compress these features to pro

26、vide a lower data transmission rate; - the formatting of these features with error protection into a bitstream for transmission; - the decoding of the bitstream to generate the advanced front-end features at a receiver together with the associated algorithms for channel error mitigation. The present

27、 document does not cover the “back-end“ speech recognition algorithms that make use of the received DSR advanced front-end features. The algorithms are defined in a mathematical form or as flow diagrams. Software implementing these algorithms written in the C programming language is contained in the

28、 ZIP file es_202050v010105p0.zip which accompanies the present document. Conformance tests are not specified as part of the standard. The recognition performance of proprietary implementations of the standard can be compared with those obtained using the reference C code on appropriate speech databa

29、ses. It is anticipated that the DSR bitstream will be used as a payload in other higher level protocols when deployed in specific systems supporting DSR applications. In particular, for packet data transmission, it is anticipated that the IETF AVT RTP DSR payload definition (see bibliography) will b

30、e used to transport DSR features using the frame pair format described in clause 7. The Advanced DSR standard is designed for use with discontinuous transmission and to support the transmission of Voice Activity information. Annex A describes a VAD algorithm that is recommended for use in conjunctio

31、n with the Advanced DSR standard, however it is not part of the present document and manufacturers may choose to use an alternative VAD algorithm. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
