rVAD: An Unsupervised Segment-Based Robust Voice Activity Detection Method (2019-06-09T00:00:00.000000Z)

TL;DR

A modified version of rVAD is presented where computationally intensive pitch extraction is replaced by computationally efficient spectral flatness calculation, which significantly reduces the computational complexity at the cost of moderately inferior VAD performance, which is an advantage when processing a large amount of data and running on low resource devices.
