What is short time energy?
Short Term Energy Parameter
Further the energy associated with voiced region is large compared to unvoiced region and silence region will not have least or negligible energy. Thus short term energy can be used for voiced, unvoiced and silence classification of speech.
How do you calculate short time energy?
Short-Time Average Zero Crossing Rate (ZCR)
(v) The ZCR can be defined as U(n) in eq., with T[S(n)] = 0.5|sgn[S(m)] - sgn[S(m-1)]|, where the algebraic sign of S(n) is given in eq. and W(n) is a rectangular window scaled by 1N as given in eq., would yeild zero-crossings/sample, or by FSN to yield zero-crossings.
Why do we consider short time representation of speech signals?
Because speech sounds change over time, we need to analyse only short regions of the signal. We convert the speech signal into a sequence of frames.
How do you calculate zero crossing rate?
The function subtracts the Level value from the signal and then finds the zero crossings. If you do not specify Level , the function uses the default value of 0 and returns the zero-crossing rate. Example: zerocrossrate(x,Level=1) returns the rate at which the input signal x crosses 1 .
