Abstract: Endpoint detection of speech in low signal-to-noise ratio plays a very important role in voice processing. For a speech signal that is polluted by additive noise, it is possible to suppress the noise and keep the original speech relatively constant. A dual-threshold speech endpoint detection algorithm was proposed based on the least mean squares error (LMS) adaptive filtering. Dual median filtering smoothing was performed before and after double-parameter double-threshold detection. Through the Matlab simulation, the speech endpoint detection method was compared with other methods. In the noise environment with low signal-to-noise ratio, the endpoint detection effect of speech has better accuracy and robustness.

Key words: endpoint detection, LMS adaptive filtering, noise reduction, double threshold method, median filter, smoothing
