Wavelet cepstral coefficients for isolated speech recognition by Adam, Tarmizi, Salam, Muhammad, Gunawan, Teddy Surya

“…In traditional cepstral analysis, the cepstrums are calculated with the use of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). Owing to the fact that the DFT calculation assumes signal stationary between frames which in practice is not quite true, the WCC replaces the DFT block in the traditional cepstrum calculation with the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) hence producing the WCC. …”
