Abstract

This speech signal recognition system compares the two-dimensionals pattern (time sequence of feature vectors) of an unknown signal to prestored standard references patterns for recognition, thus forming a corresponding two-dimensional comparison pattern of points of elemental Hamming distance differences. The sum of the pattern point distances is the similarity measure. To improve accuracy, partial patterns are selected (or "masked") and tested sequentially, and the point values weighted relative to their location within the mask. The mask may be rectangular or oblique.
