This paper presents a voice activity detection (VAD) algorithm based on the Wavelet Packet Transform and the Teager Energy Operation (TEO) processing. The signal is decomposed into subband signals. We used the multi-resolution analysis property of the Wavelet Transform to extract and analyse time-frequency components corresponding to speech. In order to obtain a parameter called Voice Activity Shape...
