A Valid Frequency Range Analysis of Throat Signal for Voice Command System

In this paper, a valid frequency range of throat signal analyses is presented. Compare to speech signals, the throat signals have many differences in the amount of information. In this context, targeting on throat signals to find valid frequency range is one of the most important analyses for the development of new breed of feature extraction algorithm. In this respect, using analysis similarity of throat signals feature distribution and correlation analysis of throat signals in the frequency domain, the frequency range can be found with effective and quick response time to be applied to a voice command recognition system using neck-microphone. As a result, the proposed frequency range is from 200Hz (center frequency) to 2001Hz (center frequency). For the neck-microphone voice command system using the proposed frequency range, a significant reduction in time complexity of 25% can be achieved without any loss in recognition rate.
