This paper describes the development and validation of an Embedded IsolatedWord Recognition System (IWR) for the Argentinian Spanish language, implemented on the STM32F4-Discovery platform. Its front-end extracts Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), while its classification step is based on the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm. Since the system was conceived as a base platform for the research and development of speechbased command and control applications, it was designed to be modular and to meet real-time performance. The system includes a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) to manage various processing and control tasks, which can be easily reconfigured with different acquisition, processing and recognition parameters using a single file. The validation was done using a scenario of robotic control, achieving performance rates which demonstrates the practical usefulness of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
