Abstract
In a speech processor system in which prototype vectors of speech are generated by an acoustic processor under reference noise and known ambient conditions and in which feature vectors of speech are generated during varying noise and other ambient and recording conditions, normalized vectors are generated to reflect the form the feature vectors would have if generated under the reference conditions. The normalized vectors are generated by: (a) applying an operator function A.sub.i to a set of feature vectors x occurring at or before time interval i to yield a normalized vector y.sub.i =A.sub.i (x); (b) determining a distance error vector E.sub.i by which the normalized vector is projectively moved toward the closest prototype vector to the normalized vector y.sub.i ; (c) up-dating the operator function for next time interval to correspond to the most recently determined distance error vector; and (d) incrementing i to the next time interval and repeating steps (a) through (d) wherein the feature vector corresponding to the incremented i value has the most recent up-dated operator function applied thereto. With successive time intervals, successive normalized vectors are generated b…
