The procedure utilized in any approach to speaker identification, could substantially influence the resulting level of the ultimate identification accuracy of the used technique. In this regard, two distinctly separate operational phases may be identified for any process of this type. First the identification parameters and associated measurement technique must be chosen. Secondly, statistical distance measurement and associated decision criterion must be identified and evaluated. In this study, the pseudosections of the vocal tract evaluated from the reflection coefficients obtained from short speech segments by means of time - varying linear prediction in lattice formulation procedure was utilized as the identification parameters and the minimum Euclidean distance between the corresponding short speech segments was the recognition criterion.
