The zero-crossing analysis of a speech signal in the short-term Method of automatic speaker identification

The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using the zero--crossing analysis of a speech signal in a short-term method of speaker identifi¬cation. Four sets of parameters obtained with the aid of the zero-crossing analy¬sis are presented which can find application in automatic speaker identification. An experiment of speaker identification for 20 male speakers has been performed. The obtained results have confirmed the applicability of the method of zero--crossing analysis for tracking individual features of voices.
