The impact of speech detection errors on the noise reduction performance of multi-channel Wiener filtering and Generalized Sidelobe Cancellation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The noise reduction performance of the Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC) depends on the validity of a priori assumptions about the signal model, whereas the recently developed Multi-channel Wiener Filter (MWF) techniques do not, hence, their potential benefit. However, both techniques rely on a speech detection algorithm. In this paper, we analyze the average effect of speech detection errors on the performance of the GSC and MWF both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the MWF preserves its benefit over the GSC for a reasonable speech detection error rate of 20% or less, even when the GSC is supplied with a robustness constraint.

The impact of speech detection errors on the noise reduction performance of multi-channel Wiener filtering
While the noise reduction performance of the Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC) depends on the validity of a priori assumptions about the signal model, the recently developed multi-channel Wiener filter technique does not rely on any such a priori information. This provides a potential benefit of the latter over GSC. However, both techniques also rely on a speech detection algorithm. In this ...
متن کاملSpatially pre-processed speech distortion weighted multi-channel Wiener filtering for noise reduction
In this paper we establish a generalized noise reduction scheme, called the Spatially Pre-processed Speech Distortion Weighted Multi-channel Wiener filter (SP-SDW-MWF), that encompasses the Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC) and a recently developed Multi-channel Wiener Filtering (MWF) technique as extreme cases and allows for in-between solutions. Compared to the widely studied GSC with Quad...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...
متن کاملDesign of a robust multi-microphone noise reduction algorithm for hearing instruments
This paper discusses the design and low-cost implementation of a robust multi-microphone noise reduction scheme, called the Spatially Pre-processed Speech Distortion Weighted Multi-channel Wiener Filter (SP-SDW-MWF). This scheme consists of two parts: a robust fixed spatial pre-processor and a robust adaptive Multi-channel Wiener Filter (MWF). Robustness against signal model errors is achieved ...
متن کاملFrequency-domain criterion for the speech distortion weighted multichannel Wiener filter for robust noise reduction
Recently, a generalized multi-microphone noise reduction scheme, referred to as the spatially pre-processed speech distortion weighted multichannel Wiener filter (SP-SDW-MWF), has been presented. This scheme consists of a fixed spatial preprocessor and a multichannel adaptive noise canceler (ANC) optimizing the SDWMWF cost function. By taking speech distortion explicitly into account in the des...
