Cepstral Analysis
Cepstral analysis is a spectral analysis technique that decomposes signals into independent components by inverting the log-magnitude spectrum. Pioneered by Bogert, Healy, and Tukey in 1963, cepstral analysis reveals periodic structure in spectra (pitch, echo patterns) and separates source excitation from filter response. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) derived from cepstral analysis are the most widely used features in automatic speech recognition, speaker verification, and audio analysis.
