1. Abstract

Abstract—In a recent paper published in the IEEE TIFS, we proposed an edit detection method based on the instantaneous variations of the Electrical Network Frequency (ENF). In this work we modify the detection criteria of that method by taking advantage of the typical pattern of ENF variations elicited by audio edits. We describe the implemented modifications and directly confront the performance of both methods using two distinct signal databases that contain real-life speech recordings. The experimental results demonstrate that the new proposition has an improved performance in terms of lower equal error rates when compared to its former version.

  • Detector Error Tradeoff Curves of the proposed method for the Carioca 1 Database and its version degraded by amplitude clipping at 0.2%.

Setup 1: Original Carioca 1 database signals, λ=0.7 (fixed), FP and FN measured for several values of G (indicated near the diamond marks).


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setup 2: original Carioca 1 Database signals, G=3.3 (fixed), FP and FN measured for several values of λ (indicated near the diamond marks).

Setup 3: Carioca 1 Database signals with amplitude clipping at 0.2%, λ=0.7 (fixed), FP and FN measured for several values of G (indicated near the diamond marks).

Setup 4: Carioca 1 Database signals with amplitude clipping at 0.2%, G=16.9 (fixed), FP and FN measured for several values of λ (indicated near the diamond marks).

The above DET curves confirm the expected behavior: since G controls the overall height of d[n], increasing G (for a fixed λ) tends to increase the rate FN and decrease that of FP. Since setting λ near 1 implies requiring the observed pattern in d[n] around a detected local maxima to be very similar to the templates, increasing λ toward 1 will tend to increase FN and decrease FP.

  • Performance of the proposed detection method as a function of λ for the Carioca 1 Database corrupted with LP noise.
