Since voice disguise has great negative impact on establishing authenticity of audio evidence in forensics, and has shown an increasing tendency in illegal applications, it is important to identify whether a suspected voice has been disguised or not. However, research on such detection has not been reported. In this paper, we focus on blind detection of electronic disguised voice. Statistical moments of Melfrequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCC) are extracted as acoustic features of speech signals. Then an approach for detection of disguised voice based on the extracted features and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers is proposed. The extensive experiments demonstrate that detection rates higher than 95% can be achieved, indicating that detection performance of the proposed approach is good.Index Terms-electronic voice disguise, blind detection, MFCC statistical moments, SVM
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.
