Abstract

A speaker verification system receives input speech from a speaker of unknown identity. The speech undergoes linear predictive coding (LPC) analysis and transformation to maximize separability between true speakers and impostors when compared to reference speech parameters which have been similarly transformed. The transformation incorporated a "inter-class" covariance matrix of successful impostors within a database.
