This is a preliminary report on a study in which speaker-specific features
of non pathological respiratory sounds were examined in regard to forensic
issues. This study is based on the assumption that sounds which are
created by in- or exhalation may contain speaker-specific information
but that they were rarely examined in relation to forensic speaker
recognition.
The database of this study consists of speech samples
(spontaneous speech) of 10 male German speakers. In detail the number,
kind, duration and spectral characteristics of respiratory sounds were
examined in regard to between- vs. within-speaker variations. Another
aim was to analyse measurement techniques facilitating examination
in the case of telephone transmission.
