Abstract

A speech detection apparatus and method are provided. The speech detection apparatus and method determine whether a frame is speech or not using feature information extracted from an input signal. The speech detection apparatus may estimate a situation related to an input frame and determine which feature information is required for speech detection for the input frame in the estimated situation. The speech detection apparatus may detect a speech signal using dynamic feature information that may be more suitable to the situation of a particular frame, instead of using the same feature information for each and every frame.
