Popis: This work develops a cross correlation maximization technique, based on statistical concepts, for pattern matching purposes in time series. The technique analytically quantifies the extent of similitude between a known signal within a group of data, by means of a single parameter. Specifically, the method was applied to voice recognition problem, by selecting samples from a given individual recordings of the 5 vowels, in Spanish. The frequency of acquisition of the data was 11.250 Hz. A certain distinctive interval was established from each vowel time series as a representative test function and it was compared both to itself and to the rest of the vowels by means of an algorithm, for a subsequent graphic illustration of the results. We conclude that for a minimum distinctive length, the method meets resemblance between every vowel with itself, and also an irrefutable difference with the rest of the vowels for an estimate length of 30 points (~2 10-3 s).
