Detection of Clipped Fragments in Speech Signals

Description

In this paper a novel method for the detection of 
clipping in speech signals is described. It is shown that the new 
method has better performance than known clipping detection 
methods, is easy to implement, and is robust to changes in signal 
amplitude, size of data, etc. Statistical simulation results are 
presented.
