Abstract
A method and apparatus for distinguishing a voice region from a non-voice region in an environment where various types of noise and voice are mixed together are provided. The method includes the steps of converting an input voice signal into a frequency domain signal by preprocessing the input voice signal, performing sigmoid compression on the converted signal, transforming a spectrum vector generated by the sigmoid compression into a voice detection parameter in scalar form, and detecting the voice region using the parameter.
