Correction to a novel text-independent speaker verification method based on the global speaker model

3) The registration function which assimilates the existing prototype model and the most recently acquired range image. 4) The NBV system which presents three separate methods for determining the NBV position from the current state of the model. 5) The graphical user interface with which the user can call the NBV system, view the images acquired at each iteration, review statistics pertaining to reconstruction, or examine the ideal or reconstructed model. 6) The application which reads in a reconstructed model file and outputs an IRIS Inventor format voxel rendering. 7) The IRIS Explorer module map which reads in a reconstructed model file and outputs an IRIS Inventor format surface rendering.

Abstract—This correspondence introduces a new text-independent speaker verification method, which is derived from the basic idea of pattern recognition that the discriminating ability of a classifier can be improved by removing the common information between classes. In looking for the common speech characteristics between a group of speakers, a global speaker model can be established. By subtracting the score acquired from this model, the conventional likelihood score is normalized with the consequence of more compact score distribution and lower equal error rates. Several experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
