A method for synthetic speech detection using local phase quantization by Jia XU, Zhihua JIAN, Honghui JIN, Man YANG

“…Due to the convenience of speech synthesis, synthesized disguised speech poses a great threat to the security of speaker verification systems.In order to further enhance the ability of detecting the camouflage to the speaker verification system, a method of synthetic speech detection was put forward using the information in spectral domain of the synthetic speech spectrogram.The method employed the local phase quantization (LPQ) algorithm to describe frequency domain information in the speech spectrogram.Firstly, the spectrogram was divided into several sub-blocks, and then the LPQ was performed on each sub-block.After the histogram statistical analysis, the LPQ feature vector was obtained and used as the input feature of the random forest classifier to realize the synthetic speech detection.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method further reduces tandem detection cost function (t-DCF) and has better generalization ability.…”
