Method and apparatus for handset detection

摘要

Disclosed is a method of automated handset identification, comprising receiving a sample speech input signal from a sample handset; deriving a cepstral covariance sample matrix from said first sample speech signal; calculating, with a distance metric, all distances between said sample matrix and one or more cepstral covariance handset matrices, wherein each said handset matrix is derived from a plurality of speech signals taken from different speakers through the same handset; and determining if the smallest of said distances is below a predetermined threshold value.
