However selecting the FrFT transform order for the proper analysis of multicomponent signals like speech is still debated. In this work we investigated several order adaptation methods. Firstly FFT- and FrFT- based spectrograms of an artificially-generated vowel are compared to demonstrate the methods. Secondly an acoustic feature set combining MFCC and FrFT is proposed and the transform orders for the FrFT are adaptively set according to various methods based on pitch and formants. A tonal vowel discrimination test is designed to compare the performance of these methods using the feature set. The results show that the FrFT-MFCC yields a better discriminability of tones and also of vowels especially by using multitransform-order methods. Thirdly speech recognition experiments were conducted on the clean intervocalic English consonants provided by the Consonant Challenge. Experimental results show that the proposed features with different order adaptation methods can obtain slightly higher recognition rates compared to the reference MFCC-based recognizer.
