Abstract

In this paper our main aim to provide the difference between cepstral and non-cepstral feature extraction techniques. Here we try to cover-up most of the comparative features of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient and prosodic features. In speaker recognition, there are two type of techniques are available for feature extraction: Short-term features i. e. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) and long-term features (Prosodic) extraction techniques. In this paper, we explore the usefulness of prosodic features for syllable classification and MFCC for feature extraction of a speech signal followed by comparison between them. The Me1 Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) is one of the most important features extraction techniques, which is required among various kinds of speech applications. The MFCC features are extracted from the speaker phonemes in the pre-segmented speech sentences. Now days Prosodic features are currently used in most emotion recognition algorithms Prosodic features are relatively simple in their structures and known for their effectiveness in some speech recognition tasks. There are various ways of generating prosodic syllable contour features that have recently been applied to enhance systems for speaker recognition.
