Abstract

Speech parameters (P.sub.h and P.sub.l) are derived for consonant classification and recognition by separating a speech signal into Low and High frequency bands, then in each band obtaining the time first-derivative, from which the min-max differences (power dip) are obtained (P.sub.h and P.sub.l). The distribution of P.sub.h and P.sub.l in a two-dimensional plot for a discriminant diagram classifies the consonant phoneme.
