Speaker Recognition

Abstract

This chapter presents some of the main contributions in several topics of speaker recognition since 1978. Representative books and surveys on speaker recognition published during this period are listed. Theoretical models for automatic speaker recognition are contrasted with practical design methodology. Research contributions to measure process, feature extraction, and classification are selectively discussed, including contributions to measure analysis, feature selection, and the experimental design of speaker classifiers. The chapter concludes with a representative set of applications of speaker recognition technology.
