Graphical abstractNoise robustness has always been a big problem for Automatic Speech Recognition system. Human auditory system performs better than speech recognition system under noisy condition, which leads us to the idea of incorporating the human auditory system into automatic speech recognition engines. In this paper, a hybrid feature extraction method, which utilizes forward masking, backward masking, and lateral inhibition, is incorporated into Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC). The implementation is achieved by a temporal warped 2D psychoacoustic filter. Detailed design procedure is given. Mathematical derivation is provided to show the validity of the proposed filter. The AURORA2 database is utilized for verification test, and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used for recognition. Extensive comparison is made against peer work, Lateral Inhibition (LI), Forward Masking (FM), Cepstral Mean and Variance Normalization (CMVN), the Original 2D psychoacoustic filter and the RASTA filter. Experimental results show that the word recognition rate is significantly improved.  | | |
