1. A method of detecting a voice region, comprising the steps of:
- (a) converting an input voice signal into a frequency domain signal by preprocessing the input voice signal;
(b) performing sigmoid compression on the converted signal;
(c) transforming a spectrum vector generated by the sigmoid compression into a scalar voice detection parameter; and
(d) detecting the voice region using the parameter.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for distinguishing a voice region from a non-voice region in an environment where various types of noise and voice are mixed together are provided. The method includes the steps of converting an input voice signal into a frequency domain signal by preprocessing the input voice signal, performing sigmoid compression on the converted signal, transforming a spectrum vector generated by the sigmoid compression into a voice detection parameter in scalar form, and detecting the voice region using the parameter.
