Optimal truncation time for matched filter array processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Matched filter array processing (MFA) has been shown to improve signal-to-noise (SNR) quality for array speech capture in reverberant environments. However, under non-optimum conditions, MFA processing is computationally costly, and may produce little improvement or even subjective quality degradation as compared with simple time delay compensation (TDC). Appropriate truncation of the MFA filter bank is shown to reduce the computational burden without significantly reducing the capture SNR. This work attempts to find an optimal truncation time with respect to room size, wall absorption and the number of microphonesused for the system. Simulations were conducted to evaluate MFA performance as a function of truncation length as these parameters were varied in situations typical of teleconferencing applications. It was demonstrated that judicious MFA truncation allows a reduction in computation load without sacrificing capture SNR.

Sensor arrays are able to enhance desired signal reception while simultaneously suppressing undesired components through the use of directionality. In many important applications, the return signal is best modeled as being nonstationary and may lose coherence between sensors, severely limiting the performance of traditional array processors based on matched-field beamforming. Quadratic array pr...
