面向语音情感识别的改进可辨别完全局部二值模式

为了研究语音情感与语谱图特征间的关系,本文研究并提出一种面向语音情感识别的改进可辨别完全局部二值模式特征。首先,基于语谱图灰度图像,计算图像的完全局部二值符号模式(CLBP_S)、幅度模式(CLBP_M)的统计直方图。然后,将CLBP_S,CLBP_M统计直方图输入可区别特征学习模型中,训练得到全局显著性模式集合。最后,采用全局显著性模式集合对CLBP_S,CLBP_M直方图进行处理,将处理后的特征级联,得到面向语音情感识别的改进可辨别完全局部二值模式特征(IDisCLBP_SER)。基于柏林库、中文情感语音库的语音情感识别实验显示,IDisCLBP_SER特征召回率比纹理图像信息(TII)等特征提高了8%以上,比声学频谱特征平均提高了4%以上。而且,本文提出的特征可以和现有声学特征进行较好融合,融合后的特征召回率比现有声学特征召回率提高1%~4%。 

Improved discriminative completed local binary pattern for speech emotion recognition

In order to study the relationship between speech emotion and speech spectrum, a new feature is proposed for speech emotion recognition, which is called improved discriminative completed local binary pattern (IDisCLBP_SER). Firstly, based on spectrogram gray image, CLBP_M and CLBP_S statistical histograms are obtained through completed local binary pattern algorithm. Then, CLBP_M and CLBP_S statistical histograms are input into discriminative feature learning model, and are trained to get global dominant pattern set. Finally, global dominant pattern set is used to process CLBP_S and CLBP_M statistical histograms, and processed statistical histograms are joint, then IDisCLBP_SER feature is obtained. Experiment on EMO-DB database and Chinese emotional speech database show that recall rate of IDisCLBP_SER is improved by at least 8% compared to that of Texture Image Information (TII), and is averagely improved by more than 4% compared to that of speech spectrum feature. In addition, IDisCLBP_SER is fused with acoustic features, and recall rates of fusion features are improved by 1% - 4% compared to those of acoustic features.
