[Speex-dev] preprocessor VAD only rocognize between silence and not silence

[jesus]

Hello,

in my project im using speex 1.2rc1 and the preprocessor VAD seems to 
only separate complete silence from not complete silence frames.

The Speex Manual, you can read "The voice activity detector (VAD) 
provided by the preprocessor is more advanced than the one directly 
provided in the codec."

but if you go to the source code in preprocess.c line 995 "/* FIXME: 
This VAD is a kludge */"

I've seem in te roadmap that you are testing a new VAD, but  Im not sure 
if im doing something wrong with the current.

Here is the code of the compressor:



    if (inicializado == false)
    {   
        bits = new SpeexBits;
        speex_bits_init(bits);
        enc_state = speex_encoder_init(&speex_nb_mode);

        // obtenemos tamaño frame
        speex_encoder_ctl(enc_state, SPEEX_GET_FRAME_SIZE, &frame_size);

        // configuramos parametros
        int complexity = 5;
        speex_encoder_ctl(enc_state, SPEEX_SET_COMPLEXITY, &complexity);

        int samplingrate = 8000;
        speex_encoder_ctl(enc_state, SPEEX_SET_SAMPLING_RATE, 
&samplingrate);

        int quality = 8; //Calidad relativa de 0 a 10
        speex_encoder_ctl(enc_state, SPEEX_SET_QUALITY, &quality);

        int dtx = 0;
        speex_encoder_ctl(enc_state, SPEEX_SET_DTX, &dtx);

        int vbr = 0;
        speex_encoder_ctl(enc_state, SPEEX_SET_VBR, &vbr);


        // PREPROCESADOR
   
        pre_state = speex_preprocess_state_init(frame_size, samplingrate);

        int denoise = 1;
        speex_preprocess_ctl(pre_state, SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_DENOISE, 
&denoise);

        int pvad = 1;
        speex_preprocess_ctl(pre_state, SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_VAD, &pvad);

        int agc = 1;
        speex_preprocess_ctl(pre_state, SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_AGC, &agc);

        inicializado = true;
    }

    __try {
        tdestino = 0;
        int frame_size;
        speex_encoder_ctl(enc_state, SPEEX_GET_FRAME_SIZE, &frame_size);

        int nbloques_sample = this->torigen/frame_size/2;

        speex_bits_reset(bits);

        int voces = 0;
        for(int bloque=0;bloque<nbloques_sample;bloque++)
        {
            // como el preprocesador devuelve 1 o 0 si es voz o no (por 
el VAD), lo uso
            // para saber si es silencio
            voces += speex_preprocess(pre_state, 
((short*)origen+(bloque*frame_size)), NULL);

            // introducimos los datos a comprimir
            int e = speex_encode_int(enc_state, 
((short*)origen+(bloque*frame_size)), bits);
        }

        // extraemos la informacion comprimida
        tdestino = speex_bits_write(bits, destino, 20000);
        if(voces == 0) // no habia ningun frame de voz en el bloque
            es_silencio = true;
        else
            es_silencio = false;


Thank you.
