ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for speaker recognition includes generating, in response to a speech signal, a plurality of feature data having a series of coefficient sets, each set having a plurality of coefficients indicating the short term special amplitude in a plurality of frequency bands. The feature data is compared with predetermined speaker reference data, and recognition of a corresponding speaker is indicated in dependence upon such comparison. The frequency bands are unevenly spaced along the frequency axis, and a long term average spectral magnitude of at least one of said coefficients is derived and used for normalizing the at least one coefficient.
