Voice activity detection (VAD) plays an important role in speech processing including speech recognition, speech enhancement, and speech coding under noisy environments. We have developed an evaluation framework for VAD under noisy environments, named CENSREC-1-C. We designed this framework for simple isolated utterance detection and hence, this framework consists of noisy continuous digit utterances and evaluation tools for VAD results. We define two evaluation measures, one for frame-level detection performance and the other for utterance-level detection performance. We also provide the evaluation results of a power-based VAD method as a reference.
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.
