1 The ZCPA Based on the Gammachip Filte Bank Used fo Speake Independent Recognition X. Zhang, X. Liu, L. Huang, and Z. Wang College of Infomation Engineeing, Taiyuan Univesity of Technology, Taiyuan, Shanxi, China Abstact - This pape pesents the method of speech featue extaction based on the gammachip filte bank that was used to extact Zeo Cossing Peak Amplitude (ZCPA) featue, which woked as the input of the adial basis function (RBF) netwok. The gammachip filte was implemented though a combination of a gammatone filte and an IIR asymmetic filte, which lagely educed the computational cost compaed with the FIR method. The expeiments wee caied on the Koean isolate wods in the speake-independent ecognition system. The esults show that in case of taking no account of sound intensity, chip factos can lead to diffeent ecognition esults. When the chip facto is 4, the esult is bette than that in othe conditions. Keywods: Gammachip filte; featue extaction; Zeo Cossing Peak Amplitude (ZCPA); speech ecognition 1 Intoduction The speech is the acoustic manifestation of linguistic infomation. Aticulatoy phonetics, acoustic phonetics, and auditoy phonetics ae thee banches in moden linguistics [1]. The aticulatoy phonetics mainly studies the speech poduction mechanism. The acoustic phonetics focuses on analyzing speech by using acoustic methods. While the auditoy phonetics is doing the eseach about physiological popeties of speech peception, namely the acquiement of voice in human heaing pocess, the compehension of speech in ou bain, the stoage and compaison of speech infomation in bain. Theefoe, auditoy phonetics could be implemented by using a speech ecognition system. The peception of speech in cochlea is always one of the hot topics in the auditoy system eseach. The cochlea is geneally taken as a set of band pass filte bank, whee each band has shap selectivity. This means that thee is a fequency coesponding to evey place in membane. When the pue tone signal of this eigen fequency simulates cochlea, the coesponding place in membane will each the cest. The common auditoy filtes include the esonant filte [2][3], the oex function filte[4], the gammatone filte [5], and the gammachip filte [6]. The esonant filte is based on the chaacteistic of fequency selectivity of the basement membane. The filte fully consides the shap fequency selectivity, but ignoes the chaacteistic of active feedback and nonlineaity of basement membane. The oex filte was fistly used in masking expeiment, which was used to fit human ea in identifying the specific signal fequency theshold in noisy envionment. The oex function cuve is slowly widened on the left side as the stimulus intensity inceased, which is in line with cochlea asymmetic and level-dependent chaacteistics. Howeve, on the ight side, the slope of the cuve is almost unchanged, which is diffeent fom the filte popeties of cochlea. The gammatone filte has simple paametes, lowe ode and simple timedomain function, but it cannot ealize the chaacteistic of asymmetic fequency esponse and level-dependent. The gammachip auditoy filte is an extension of the popula gammatone filte; it has an additional fequency-modulation tem to poduce an asymmetic amplitude spectum. In ecent yeas, the gammachip filte was successfully applied in many aeas. The filte was combined with wavelet packet in the audio coding [7], and in the fomant estimated [8] by Noueddine Ellouze. Lotfi Salhi applied the filte in the analysis of the speech signal by combining it with the wavelet tansfom [9]. The othe eseaches used the gammachip filte fo simulating basement membane of the human ea, and got good esults [10]. In addition, the gammachip filte was successfully used in speake ecognition as the fontend featue extaction filte [11]. In this pape, the definition and implementation of the gammachip filte ae biefly intoduced in the section 2 and 3. Section 4 pesents the expeiment esults, and section 5 gives the conclusion.
2 2 Definition The gammachip filte was deived by Iino and Patteson in The complex impulse esponse of the gammachip is given by the following: g t at berb f t j f t jc t j u t n1 c( ) exp( 2 ( ) )exp( 2 ln ) ( ) 1, t 0 ut () 0, t 0 ERB( f ) f (1) whee the time t 0, a is the amplitude, n and b ae paametes defining the envelope of the gamma distibution, n 4, b 1.109, f is the asymmetical fequency, c is a paamete fo the fequency modulation o the chip ate, is the initial phase. The initial phase have limited impact on the powe specta, it is geneally taken as zeo. ln t is a natual logaithm of time, and ERB( f ) is the equivalent ectangula bandwidth of the auditoy filte at f.paamete c is chip facto, which is linea with sound level P s [12][13]. When c 0, the chip tem, cln t, vanishes and equation (1) epesents the complex impulse esponse of the gammatone filte that has the envelope of a gamma distibution function and its caie is a sinusoid at fequency f. Accodingly, the gammachip is an extension of the gammatone with a fequency modulation tem. The Fouie tansfom of the gammachip in Eq.(1) is deived as follows: G ( f) a( n jc) e ( ) f f actan b b berb( f ) a( n jc) e j C n jc 2 berb( f) j2 ( f f) j b f f e n jc j Simplify (2), then we get the following: (2) G ( f ) a 1 1 C 2 2 n 2 ( ) 2 2 ( ) 2 jc jn b f f e b f f e j a a( n jc) e (3) whee the fist tem a is a constant. The second tem is known as the Fouie spectum of the gammatone, GT ( f ). The thid tem epesents an asymmetic function, HA( f ), which will be descibed in details in next subsection. If we nomalize the amplitude, the fequency esponse of the gammachip can be epesented as follows: c G ( f ) G ( f ) H ( f ) (4) C T A The amplitude spectum is: G ( f ) G ( f ) H ( f ) (5) C T A 3 Implementation As shown in Eq.(4), a gammachip filte can be implemented by cascading a gammatone filte and an asymmetic filte. Since efficient implementations of the gammatone ae aleady known [14,15], this section concentates on an appoximation filte fo the asymmetic function. The well-known IIR Buttewoth and Chebyshev filtes can not satisfy the filte. Consequently, a new asymmetic compensation filte HC ( f ) can be designed as follows: H ( f ) H ( z), z e A 4 C k 1 j 2 f / fs HC ( z) HCk ( z) (6) H jk 1 jk 1 (1 ke z )(1 ke z ) Ck ( z) jk 1 jk 1 (1 ke z )(1 ke z ) whee the paametes of Eq.(6) ae: exp{ k. p.2 berb( f ) / f } k 1 s 2 { f p. p. c. berb( f )}/ f k 1 k 0 2 s 2 { f p. p. c. berb( f )}/ f k 1 k 0 2 s p 2, p c p c (7) hee, s f is the sampling fequency.

In this pape, the gammachip filte bank was used in the pocess of featue extacting. Without consideing the leveldependent popety of gammachip filte, the ecognition esults wee obtained by changing the value of chip facto. Figue 3 shows the fequency esponse of the gammachip filte and FIR filte. Figue 3. (c) c 4 The Fequency Response of the Gammachip and FIR filte The expeiments wee caied on the Koean isolate wods in speake-independent ecognition system. The copus include 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 Koean wods made by 16 male speakes unde diffeent signal-to-noise ations (SNRs: 15dB, 20dB, 25dB, 30dB and clean). Each wod was spoken 3 times. The utteances wee sampled at Hz sampling ate with 16-bits esolution. 9 pesons wee used as taining set, and the est 7 as testing set. The ZCPA featue was the input of RBF netwok. Table I shows the esults of the FIR filte in diffeent SNRs.

5 TABLE III. THE AVERAGE RESULTS OF FEATURES IN DIFFERENT SNR(%) Filte SNRs (db) c c c FIR By changing the value of the chip facto, diffeent gammachip filte bank was obtained. The filte banks wee used as the font-end filte fo extacting ZCPA which was taken as the input of RBF netwok. The esults of diffeent chip factos wee shown in Table II. Table III shows the aveage ecognition ates of diffeent filte in diffeent SNR. Fom the above esults, we can find the following facts. (1) Table II shows that the gammachip filte banks have the bette pefomance than gammatone filte bank fom 15dB to clean. 0.4% at least in 25dB 20 wods and moe than 10% in 15dB 10 wods. (2) Futhemoe, the gammachip filte in c 4 have bette esults compaed with the case of c 4. In addition to the case of 15dB the highest esult 94.3% occus in c 4, the maximum esults unde othe SNR is in c 4 condition. filte has the bette pefomance in the clean condition. It is also the same tend in 30dB, 25dB and 20dB conditions. In 15dB, the case of c 4 has bette pefomance. The explanation of the above esults is as follows. The cochlea is consideed to be band pass filte bank, and one of the popeties is that the fequency esponse of the single filte is asymmetical. While the fequency esponse of gammachip filte is asymmetical, the fequency esponse of FIR filte banks used in taditional ZCPA is symmetical about the cente fequency. The gammatone filte has the same eason. Howeve, the FIR filte is designed channel by channel, which povides moe accuacy in the design than that of gammatone filte. This explains why the FIR has the bette ecognition esults than that the gammatone filte. (3) In Table III, we can see that between gammachip filte in the case of c 4 and FIR filte, the fome TABLE IV. THE AVERAGE RESULTS OF DIFFERENT GAMMACHIRP FILTER BANKS IN DIFFERENT SNR(%) filte SNRs (%) c c c c In pape [18], the expeiments wee caied on the gammachip filte in the condition of c 2 and c 2. The esults show that the system has fine pefomance when c 2. Table IV displays the aveage esults fo the diffeent gammachip filte banks with diffeent SNRs. The popety of cochlea that is consideed as filte bank is that the slope of the cuve at low fequencies is moe flat than that at high fequencies. That is when the chip facto is negative, the filte has good pefomance. But fom the above data, we can see that the gammachip filte in c 4 woks bette than that in the othe chip factos, while the chip facto is 2, the filte has the pooest pefomance. When the chip factos ae -2 and -4, the filte didn t have excellent pefomance. In efeence [17], they had the same conclusion that the gammachip filte in positive chip facto gave satisfactoy esults.
6 5 Conclusions In this pape, the gammachip filte was used in the font-end ZCPA featue extacting pocess. The expeiment esults wee obtained unde the diffeent chip factos without consideing the level of the sound pessue. The esults show that the value of the chip facto has significant impact on the popety of the filte. Howeve, the chip facto is not the sole element that can influence the esults, and the numbe of channels and the sound intensity of the input signal can also have impact on the esults.
