Abstract
We compare Vector Quantization and Hidden Markov Models for speaker recognition for real time recognition. A scheme to reject speakers not known to the system is described and tested. Results show that the HMM algorithm outperforms the VQ algorithm. Using a 64 state HMM, a speaker recognition accuracy of 96.1% was achieved. The rejection option generated 25.7% false rejections for a 95% confidence of a correct decision. VQ best results were 93.1% with a 61% false rejection rate for codebooks of size 128.<>
