Analysis of speech under stress using Linear techniques and Non-Linear techniques for emotion recognition system

Abstract: Analysis of speech for recognition of stress is important for identification of emotional state of person. This can be done using 'Linear Techniques', which has different parameters like pitch, vocal tract spectrum, formant frequencies, Duration, MFCC etc. which are used for extraction of features from speech. TEO-CB-Auto-Env is the method which is non-linear method of features extraction. Analysis is done using TU-Berlin (Technical University of Berlin) German database. Here emotion recognition is done for different emotions like neutral, happy, disgust, sad, boredom and anger. Emotion recognition is used in lie detector, database access systems, and in military for recognition of soldiers' emotion identification during the war.
