In this paper, we presented the performance of a speaker verification system based on features computed from the speech recorded using a Close Speaking Microphone(CSM) and Throat Microphone(TM) in clean and noisy environment. Noise is the one of the most complicated problem in speaker verification system. The background noises affect the performance of speaker verification using CSM. To overcome this issue, TM is used which has a transducer held at the throat resulting in a clean signal and unaffected by background noises. Acoustic features are computed by means of Relative Spectral Transform-Perceptual Linear Prediction (RASTA-PLP). Autoassociative neural network (AANN) technique is used to extract the features and in order to confirm the speakers from clean and noisy environment. A new method is presented in this paper, for verification of speakers in clean using combined CSM and TM. The verification performance of the proposed combined system is significantly better than the system using the CSM alone due to the complementary nature of CSM and TM. It is evident that an EER of about 1.0% for the combined devices (CSM+TM) by evaluating the FAR and FRR values and the overall verification of 99% is obtained in clean speech.
