Project Goal

Port speaker recognition to Series 60 mobile phone

Symbian Phones

• Series 60 phone features:– 16 MB ROM– 8 MB RAM

– 176 x 208 display

– ARM-processor

– No floating-point unit!!!

Series 80

Series 60UIQ

Symbian OS

• Defined by Symbian consortium

• Based on EPOC• Operating system for mobile phones

– Real-time system– Long uptime required

• Multitasking, multithreading

Problems of Porting

• Usual considerations when porting to phone– GUI event driven program(ming)

– Platform specific programming model

– Real-time system, exceptions

• Application specific porting problems– Number crunching without floating point unit!!!

– Signal processing numerically challenging

Identification System

Speaker Recognition:Classify input speech

based on existing profiles

Pre-emphasis

• pre-emph. coeff. 0.97, Hamm window, 30 triangular mel-filters, base-2 logarithm, output 12 MFCC's

Fixed-Point Implementation

• Numerical analysis needed for fixed-point arithmetic implementation

• Truncation and re-scaling to avoid overflows in the converted algorithm

• Minimize information loss caused by computation in fixed-point arithmetic – Minimize relative error

FFT, Fixed-Point

• Frequency spectrum of speech– Biggest source of numerical error– Butterflies have multiplications– Layers repeat truncation errors

• Fixed number of bits per element– 32, native integer size in many systems

• Reference implementation: FFTGEN– http://www.jjj.de/fft/fftgen.tgz

FFTGEN (16/16)

• Multiplication: 32 x 32 -bit result must fit in 32 bits: truncate input

• FFTGEN: Truncate inputs to 16/16 bits

Info Preserving FFT (22/10)• Approximate DFT operator F with G• Increase ||F-G||, preserve more signal information

– minimize maximum relative error in scaled sine values with respect to scale; 980 good for FFT sizes up to 1024

– Truncate multiplication inputs to 22/10 bits (signal/op)

22 used bits 10 crop-off bits

average -0.775 -2.118

standard deviation 0.797 0.590

• Compute complex absolute values using maximum coordinate and coordinate ratio

• Suppose |x| > |y| for z = x + i y, then

• Interpret the (squared) y/x by t• Approx. square root by a polynomial P(t)• Constant time algorithm (vs. Newton)

Magnitude Spectrum, Fixed-Point

222 /1 xy+x=y+x|=z|

Logarithm, Fixed-Point

• Use base 2 instead of base 10– corresponds to output multiplication

• Standard technique:– Return problem to interval [1,2)– Use linear interpolation from values

stored in a look-up table– 8 bits used for indexing the look-up

table values

Rest of System, Fixed-Point

• No improvement needed in VQ/GLA• Should apply similar technique as

with FFT to other signal processing– Pre-emphasis, utilize full 32 bits– Time windowing, use less bits in

windowing function– FB, use less bits in frequency responses– DCT, use less bits for the cosines

Effect of Signal Processing

• TIMIT data sets, varying number of speakers (N)• For each N repeat (6x, 5x, 2x) train/recognize

cycles (eliminate GLA initial solution randomness)• FFTGEN: FFT with 16/16 multiplication• Fixed-point: use proposed 22/10 FFT• Mixed: floating-point DSP, fixed-point GLA/VQ

Effect of Signal Quality

• GSM/PC data: 16 aligned dual recordings

• All computations in floating-point arith.

• Signal recorded with laptop and PC mic gives average recognition rate 100%

• Signal recorded with Nokia 3660 results in average recognition rate 84,9%

Conclusion

• Speaker identification was ported to Symbian Series 60 mobile phone

• 22/10 bit usage in multiplication proposed instead of “standard” 16/16

• Experiments indicate that recognition accuracy improves from 68% to 95%
