Abstract
Speech emotion recognition (SER) poses one of the major challenges in human-machine interaction. We propose a new algorithm, the Voiced Segment Selection (VSS) algorithm, which can produce an accurate segmentation of speech signals. The VSS algorithm deals with the voiced signal segment as the texture image processing feature which is different from the traditional method. It uses the Log-Gabor filters to extract the voiced and unvoiced features from spectrogram to make the classification. The finding shows that the VSS method is a more accurate algorithm for voiced segment detection. Therefore, it has potential to improve performance of emotion recognition from speech.
