Speech Enhancement based on Linear Prediction Error Signals and Spectral Subtraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speech processing and recognition are key technologies to produce smart user interfaces in an increasing number of devices. Moreover, robust speech recognition is considered mandatory for a reliable operation of such elements in realistic working conditions. Through this paper, a method of processing speech degraded by noise and reverberation is proposed. This approach involves analyzing the prediction error signals from the Gradient Adaptive Lattice algorithm in order to produce a valid estimator suitable for being combined with Spectral Subtraction techniques. The paper includes an evaluation of the performance of the algorithm for several speech recognition experiments in a car environment.

متن کاملA Brief Survey of Speech Enhancement1
We present a brief overview of the speech enhancement problem for wide-band noise sources that are not correlated with the speech signal. Our main focus is on the spectral subtraction approach and some of its derivatives in the forms of linear and non-linear minimum mean square error estimators. For the linear case, we review the signal subspace approach, and for the non-linear case, we review ...

An improved hidden Markov model-based (HMMbased) speech enhancement system designed using the minimum mean square error principle is implemented and compared with a conventional spectral subtraction system. The improvements to the system are: 1) incorporation of mixture components in the HMM for noise in order to handle noise nonstationarity in a more flexible manner, 2) two efficient methods i...
