Statistical voice activity detection using low-variance spectrum estimation and an adaptive threshold

Traditionally voice activity detection algorithms are based on any combination of general speech properties such as temporal energy variations, periodicity, and spectrum. This paper describes a novel statistical method for voice activity detection using a signal to noise ratio measure. The method e...
