| Abstract(in English) | In real acoustic environments, human communicates each other through speech by focusing on the target speech sound among environmental sounds. We can easily discriminate the target sound from other environmental sounds. For hands-free speech recognition, the discrimination of the target speech from environmental sounds is inevitable. This mechanism might also be important even for the self moving robot to sense acoustic environments and communicate with human. This paper proposes HMM-based environmental sound recognition. Environmental sounds are modeled by three state HMMs and evaluated using 90 kinds of environmental sounds. The recognition accuracy was 95.4%. Thi spaper also proposes recognition of the environment sound-added is olatedwords by HMM composition. The experiments show the HMM composition of speech HMMs and a HMM of classe environmental sounds outperforms the conventional HMM composition of speech HMMs and a noise HMMt trained using noise periods prior to the target speech in the environments. |
