Automatic recognition of emotional states from human speech is a current research topic with a wide range. In this paper an attempt has been made to recognize and classify the speech emotion from three language databases, namely, Berlin, Japan and Thai emotion databases. Speech features consisting of Fundamental Frequency (F0), Energy, Zero Crossing Rate (ZCR), Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) from short-time wavelet signals are comprehensively investigated. In this regard, Support Vector Machines (SVM) is utilized as the classification model. Empirical experimentation shows that the combined features of F0, Energy and MFCC provide the highest accuracy on all databases provided using the linear kernel. It gives 89.80%, 93.57% and 98.00% classification accuracy for Berlin, Japan and Thai emotions databases, respectively.
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.
