Abstract

In our age, technological developments are accompanied by certain problems associated with them. Security takes the first place amongst such kind of problems. In particular, such biometric systems as authentication constitute the significant fraction of the security matters. This is because sound recordings having connection with the various crimes are required to be analyzed for forensic purposes. Authentication systems necessitate transmission, design and classification of biometric data in a secure manner. In this study, analysis of German language employed in the economy, industry and trade in a wide spread manner, has been performed. In the same vein, the aim was to actualize automatic voice and speech recognition system using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), MelFrequency Discrete Wavelet Coefficients (MFDWC) and Linear. Prediction Cepstral Coefficient (LPCC) taking German sound forms and properties into consideration. Approximately 2658 German voice samples of words and clauses with differing lengths have been collected from 50 males and 50 females. Features of these voice samples have been obtained using wavelet transform. Feature vectors of the voice samples obtained have been trained with such methods as Boltzmann Machines and Deep Belief Networks. In the test phase, owner of a given voice sample has been identified taking the trained voice samples into consideration. Results and performances of the algorithms employed in the study for classification have been also demonstrated in a comparative manner.
