Automatic male-female voice discrimination
Arijit Ghosal, Suchibrota Dutta · 2014
In this work, we have presented a novel simple scheme for classifying audio speech signals into male speech and female speech. In the context of content-based multimedia indexing gender identification based on speech signal is an important task. Some popular salient low level time-domain acoustic features which are very closely related to the physical properties of source audio signal like zero crossing rate (ZCR), short time energy (STE) along with spectral flux, a low level frequency domain feature, are used for this discrimination. RANSAC and Neural-Net has been used as classifier. The experimental result exhibits the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
