چکیده

Reverberation Time (T60) is an important measure for characterizing the properties of a room. The author’s T60 estimation algorithm was previously tested on simulated data where the noise is artificially added to the speech after convolution with a impulse responses simulated using the image method. We test the algorithm on speech convolved with real recorded impulse responses and noise from the same rooms from the Acoustic Characterization of Environments (ACE) corpus and achieve results comparable results to those using simulated data.

Investigating the performance of machine learning-based methods in classroom reverberation time estimation using neural networks (Research Article)

Classrooms, as one of the most important educational environments, play a major role in the learning and academic progress of students. reverberation time, as one of the most important acoustic parameters inside rooms, has a significant effect on sound quality. The inefficiency of classical formulas such as Sabin, caused this article to examine the use of machine learning methods as an alternat...

PSD estimation in Beamspace for Estimating Direct-to-Reverberant Ratio from A Reverberant Speech Signal

A method for estimation of direct-to-reverberant ratio (DRR) using a microphone array is proposed. The proposed method estimates the power spectral density (PSD) of the direct sound and the reverberation using the algorithm PSD estimation in beamspace with a microphone array and calculates the DRR of the observed signal. The speech corpus of the ACE (Acoustic Characterisation of Environments) C...

Evaluation of estimation models for acoustic reverberation time in educational and office environments

Noise pollution is considered as one of the most annoying factors in educational and office environments. In these environments where learning processes and intellectual activities are ongoing, an effective acoustic design is necessary. The aim of this paper is to assess the reverberation time as one of the important indicators in describing the acoustic characteristics of rooms. In this study,...

Learning to estimate reverberation time in noisy and reverberant rooms

The reverberation time, T60, is an important indicator of the reverberation strength in a room and has many applications in speech processing, such as dereverberation. However, the T60 must be blindly estimated if only reverberant speech is available. In this paper, we provide a learning based approach for T60 estimation. We treat the T60 estimation as a classification problem by dividing the T...

A Pitch-Based Method for the Estimation of Short Reverberation Time

Reverberation corrupts harmonic structure in voiced speech. We observe that the pitch strength of voiced speech segments is indicative of the degree of reverberation. Consequently, we present an estimation method of reverberation time (T60) based on pitch strength. The pitch strength is measured by deriving the statistics of relative time lags, defined as the distances from the detected pitch p...
