Improved a priori SAP Estimator in Complex Noisy Environment for Dual Channel Microphone System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a priori speech absence probability (SAP) estimator is proposed for accurately obtaining the speech presence probability (SPP) in a complex noise field. Unlike previous techniques, the proposed estimator considers a complex noise sound field where the target speech is corrupted by a coherent interference with diffuse noise around. The proposed algorithm estimates a priori SAP based on the normalized speech to interference plus diffuse noise ratio (SINR) being expressed in terms of the speech to interference ratio (SIR) and the directional to diffuse noise ratio (DDR). The SIR is obtained from a quadratic equation of the magnitude-squared coherence (MSC) between two microphone signals. A performance comparison with several advanced a priori SAP estimators was conducted in terms of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The proposed algorithm attains a correct detection rate at a given falsealarm rate that is higher than those attained by conventional algorithms.

Two-Microphone Noise Reduction Using Spatial Information-Based Spectral Amplitude Estimation
Traditional two-microphone noise reduction algorithms to deal with highly nonstationary directional noises generally use the direction of arrival or phase difference information. The performance of these algorithms deteriorate when diffuse noises coexist with nonstationary directional noises in realistic adverse environments. In this paper, we present a two-channel noise reduction algorithm usi...
متن کاملDual Channel Reduction of Rapidly Varying Harmonic and Random Noise Using a Spot Microphone
This contribution presents a dual channel speech enhancement system that is operating in the frequency domain. State-of-the-art estimators usually rely on the assumption that the noise signal is stationary or only slightly time-varying. In this contribution we are explicitly considering rapidly time-varying harmonic noise (e.g., engine noise). Therefore we take a spot microphone into account en...

To improve the performance of multi-channel speech enhancement algorithms, we previously proposed a hybrid Wiener postfilter for microphone arrays under the assumption of a diffuse noise field [4]. In this paper, considering the speech presence uncertainty, we further improve the hybrid post-filter presented before by integrating a novel robust estimator for the a priori speech absence probabil...

This paper illustrates a new system for recovering clean speech signals from noisy acoustical environments using one microphone. At the beginning of this paper, we propose an assumption that the background noise is comprised of reverberant noise and direct-path noise. And a novel late reverberant spectral variance (LRSV) estimator is generated referring to this assumption, which can be used in ...

In this paper, a coherence-based noise reduction algorithm is proposed for a dual-channel speech enhancement system operating in a complex noise environment. The spatial coherence between two omnidirectional microphones is one of the crucial information for the dual-channel speech enhancement system. In this paper, we introduce a new model of coherence function for the complex noise environment...
