A speech/voiceband data discriminator
Nevio Benvenuto · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1993
The problem of distinguishing speech from voiceband data is treated. A discrimination function based on the sign of the autocorrelation at lag two of the incoming signal and the second-order moment of the complex low-pass signal is presented. The algorithm has been applied to many types of voiceband data signals and, within a window of 32 ms, correctly classifies them. For the limited number of speech signals available, the amount of misclassification of speech as voiceband data was observed to be about 1%.>
