We introduce an efficient hidden Markov model-based voice activity detection (VAD) algorithm weboost splitter with time-variant state-transition probabilities in the underlying Markov chain.The transition probabilities vary in an exponential charge/discharge scheme and are softly merged with state conditional likelihood into a final VAD decision.Working in the domain of ITU-T G.729 parameters, with no additional cost for feature extraction, the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms G.

729 Annex click here B VAD while providing a balanced tradeoff between clipping and false detection errors.The performance compares very favorably with the adaptive multirate VAD, option 2 (AMR2).
