Abstract
In this work, an average framing linear prediction coding (AFLPC) technique for speaker-
independent Arabic vowels recognition system was proposed. Usually, linear prediction
coding (LPC) has been applied in many speech recognition applications, however, the
combination of modified LPC termed AFLPC with wavelet transform (WT) is proposed in this
study for vowel recognition. The investigation procedure was based on feature extraction and
classification. In the stage of feature extraction, the distinguished resonance of vocal tract of
Arabic vowel characteristics was extracted using the AFLPC technique. LPC order of 30 was
found to be the best according to the system performance. In the phase of classification,
probabilistic neural network (PNN) was applied because of its rapid response and ease in
implementation. In practical investigation, performances of different wavelet transforms in
conjunction with AFLPC were compared with one another. In addition, the capability analysis
on the proposed system was examined by comparing with other systems proposed in latest
literature. Referring to our experimental results, the PNN classifier could achieve a better
recognition rate with discrete wavelet transform and AFLPC as a feature extraction method
termed (LPCDWTF). (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
