“…Performance of proposed speech codec with the provision of confidential information hiding is evaluated with different objective quality assessment measures classified into waveform, spectral, perceptual and composite measures based analysis (Bhatt & Kosta, 2011;Tahilramani & Bhatt, 2015. In waveform based analysis: Mean square Error (MSE), Segmental SNR (SNRSEG), Absolute Error (ABS), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) (Tahilramani & Bhatt, 2017); while in Perceptual based analysis: Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) (ITU-T Recommendation, 2000; Tahilramani & Bhatt, 2017) and in Spectral based analysis Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR), Itakura Saito Distance (ISD), Cepstrum Distance (CEP), Frequency Weighted Segmental SNR (fwSN-Rseg), Weighted slop spectrum distance (fwSNRs) (Bhatt & Kosta, 2012;Tahilramani & Bhatt, 2017) are explored. In Composite Measures parameters like Csig, Cbak, Covl are computed as per (Tahilramani & Bhatt, 2017).…”
