To improve the performance of a recognition system, namely the recognition rate, we propose a hew implementation of perceptual distance using LPC cepstrum(perceptual cepstrum, PLC). The PLC is caculated by convolution of a usual LPC cepstrum and a perceptual lifter(PL). To caculate PL, we define a new weighting function in the linear frequency domain considering the frequency scale(Bark-scale) characteristics. The PL is the inverse Fourier transform of the exponents of the weighting function. We verified our method through the speech recognition experiments. The performance of PLC was compared with that of the rasied sine liftering method.
