متن کاملPerceptually-based objective measure for non-intrusive speech quality assessment
This paper proposes a new perceptuallybased method for assessing speech quality and evaluates its performance. The method is based on comparing the received speech to an appropriate reference representing the closest match from a preformulated codebook. The codebook holds a number of optimally clustered speech parameter vectors extracted from a large number of various undistorted clean speech r...
متن کاملOutput-Based Objective Measure for Non-Intrusive Speech Quality Evaluation
This paper describes a newly developed output-based method for non-intrusive evaluation of speech quality of voice communication systems, and evaluates its performance. The method, which uses only the output of the system, is based on measuring perceptually motivated objective auditory distances between the voiced parts of the speech signal whose quality to be evaluated to appropriately matchin...
