Abstract

See full text

A microphone array input type speech recognition scheme capable of realizing a high precision sound source position or direction estimation by a small amount of calculations, and thereby realizing a high precision speech recognition. A band-pass waveform, which is a waveform for each frequency bandwidth, is obtained from input signals of the microphone array, and a band-pass power of the sound source is directly obtained from the band-pass waveform. Then, the obtained band-pass power is used as the speech parameter. It is also possible to realize the sound source estimation and the band-pass power estimation at high precision while further reducing an amount of calculations, by utilizing a sound source position search processing in which a low resolution position estimation and a high resolution position estimation are combined.
