Use Case:
Voice Recognition for Access Control, Intrusion Detection or Audio Monitoring
Description
Audio monitoring to supplement video monitoring, intrusion detection, visitor identification and convenience. Enables voice-biometric identification as 1-factor (or additional factor in multi-factor) authentication as an access control parameter.
Challenges
- Noise suppression
- Residential Environmental – HVAC systems, fans, vacuums, city/street noises, TV, Audio and other noise generating devices, etc.
- Speech – other persons’ speech, TV speech, and other audible
devices, etc. - Crosstalk elimination among multiple collection devices if multiple
units deployed
- Potentially obstructed voice path
- Furniture, Toys, other family members
- Orientation of person speaking away from audio collection device
- Distance
- Typical distances in Kitchen and other living areas could be 3 to 4 meters or more
- Development
- Collection of Audio Data & Synchronization with Audio
- Detection of particular noises—glass break, etc
