Text-dependent speaker verification using vector quantization source coding
D. Burton · IEEE Transactions on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing · 1987
Several vector quantization approaches to the problem of text-dependent speaker verification are described. In each of these approaches, a source codebook is designed to represent a particular speaker saying a particular utterance. Later, this same utterance is spoken by a speaker to be verified and is encoded in the source codebook representing the speaker whose identity was claimed. The speaker is accepted if the verification utterance's quantization distortion is less than a prespecified speaker-specific threshold. The best approach achieved a 0.7 percent false acceptance rate and a 0.6 percent false rejection rate on a speaker population comprising 16 admissible speakers and 111 casual imposters. The approaches are described, and detailed experimental results are presented and discussed.
