python的webrtc库实现语音端点检测

文章源码在 https://github.com/wangshub/python-vad

引言

语音端点检测最早应用于电话传输和检测系统当中,用于通信信道的时间分配,提高传输线路的利用效率.端点检测属于语音处理系统的前端操作,在语音检测领域意义重大.
但是目前的语音端点检测,尤其是检测 人声 开始和结束的端点始终是属于技术难点,各家公司始终处于 能判断,但是不敢保证 判别准确性 的阶段.

现在基于云端语义库的聊天机器人层出不穷,其中最著名的当属amazon的 Alexa/Echo 智能音箱.

国内如雨后春笋般出现了各种搭载语音聊天的智能音箱(如前几天在知乎上广告的若琪机器人)和各类智能机器人产品.国内语音服务提供商主要面对中文语音服务,由于语音不像图像有分辨率等等较为客观的指标,很多时候凭主观判断,所以较难判断各家语音识别和合成技术的好坏.但是我个人认为,国内的中文语音服务和国外的英文语音服务,在某些方面已经有超越的趋势.

通常搭建机器人聊天系统主要包括以下三个方面:
* 语音转文字(ASR/STT)
* 语义内容(NLU/NLP)
* 文字转语音(TTS)

语音转文字(ASR/STT)

在将语音传给云端API之前,是本地前端的语音采集,这部分主要包括如下几个方面:
* 麦克风降噪
* 声源定位
* 回声消除
* 唤醒词
* 语音端点检测
* 音频格式压缩

python 端点检测

由于实际应用中,单纯依靠能量检测特征检测等方法很难判断人声说话的起始点,所以市面上大多数的语音产品都是使用唤醒词判断语音起始.另外加上声音回路,还可以做语音打断.这样的交互方式可能有些傻,每次必须喊一下 唤醒词 才能继续聊天.这种方式聊多了,个人感觉会嘴巴疼:-O .现在github上有snowboy唤醒词的开源库,大家可以登录snowboy官网训练自己的唤醒词模型.
* Kitt-AI : Snowboy
* Sensory : Sensory

考虑到用唤醒词嘴巴会累,所以大致调研了一下,python拥有丰富的库,直接import就能食用.这种方式容易受强噪声干扰,适合一个人在家玩玩.
* pyaudio: pip install pyaudio 可以从设备节点读取原始音频流数据,音频编码是PCM格式;
* webrtcvad: pip install webrtcvad 检测判断一组语音数据是否为空语音;
当检测到持续时间长度 T1 vad检测都有语音活动,可以判定为语音起始;
当检测到持续时间长度 T2 vad检测都没有有语音活动,可以判定为语音结束;
