Speech spectral amplitude estimators using optimally shaped Gamma and Chi priors
In this paper, four STFT based speech enhancement algorithms are proposed. The algorithms enhance speech by estimating its short time spectral amplitude and are combinations of two estimators (MMSE and MAP) with two speech spectral amplitude priors (Gamma and Chi). The proposed priors have a shape parameter a, whose effect on the quality of speech is a focal point of our investigation. Rather t...
متن کاملSpeech enhancement using Bayesian estimators of the perceptually-motivated short-time spectral amplitude (STSA) with Chi speech priors
In this paper, the authors propose new perceptually-motivated Weighted Euclidean (WE) and Weighted Cosh (WCOSH) estimators that utilize more appropriate Chi statistical models for the speech prior with Gaussian statistical models for the noise likelihood. Whereas the perceptually-motivated WE and WCOSH cost functions emphasized spectral valleys rather than spectral peaks (formants) and indirect...
متن کاملImprovements of the Beta-Order Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) Spectral Amplitude Estimator using Chi Priors
In this paper, the authors propose the Beta-Order Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) Spectral Amplitude estimator with Chi statistical models for the speech priors. The new estimator incorporates both a shape parameter on the distribution and cost function parameter. The performance of the MMSE Beta-Order Spectral Amplitude estimator with Chi speech prior is evaluated using the Segmental Signal-t...
متن کاملEfficient β-order Perceptually Motivated Spectral Amplitude Bayesian Estimator Based On Chi-distribution for Speech Enhancement
The traditional Bayesian estimator of short-time spectral amplitude is based on the minimization of the squared-error cost function under the common Gaussian probability density function (pdf). The Gaussian distribution, however, is not the optimal probability distribution. To overcome this phenomenon, we considered to replace the traditional distribution hypothesis of spectral amplitude of spe...
متن کاملDistributed multichannel speech enhancement based on perceptually-motivated Bayesian estimators of the spectral amplitude
In this study, the authors propose multichannel weighted Euclidean (WE) and weighted cosh (WCOSH) cost function estimators for speech enhancement in the distributed microphone scenario. The goal of the work is to illustrate the advantages of utilising additional microphones and modified cost functions for improving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and segmental SNR (SSNR) along with log-likelihood r...
