Dereverberation and noise reduction using a spherical microphone array: an experimental investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental investigation of a speech enhancement algorithm is presented. The algorithm is designed for a spherical microphone array, and formulated in the spherical harmonics domain, based on a plane-wave model that is also formulated in the spherical harmonics domain. The proposed algorithm facilitates dereverberation by employing DOA estimation, rather that room impulse response identification. The paper presents the algorithm formulation and results from real room measurements, also compared with traditional beamforming methods.

Dereverberation and denoising based on generalized spectral subtraction by multi-channel LMS algorithm using a small-scale microphone array
A blind dereverberation method based on power spectral subtraction (SS) using a multi-channel least mean squares algorithm was previously proposed to suppress the reverberant speech without additive noise. The results of isolated word speech recognition experiments showed that this method achieved significant improvements over conventional cepstral mean normalization (CMN) in a reverberant envi...
متن کاملCombined Frequency-domain Dereverberation and Noise Reduction Technique for Multi-microphone Speech Enhancement
In this paper a frequency-domain technique is described for estimating the acoustic transfer functions, when reverberated speech signals are corrupted by spatially coloured noise. This technique is an extension of the frequencydomain procedure of [1], which is only optimal in the case of spatially white noise. Using the estimated acoustic transfer functions, dereverberation can be performed wit...

Matched ltering and adaptive beamforming are both necessary for e cient speech dereverberation and noise reduction by microphone arrays. This can be achieved by the identi cation of impulse responses. In this contribution, we show that adaptive microphone arrays are sensitive to identi cation errors of impulse responses, particularly due to speaker movements. We prove that adjusted matchedlteri...
متن کاملJoint noise cancellation and dereverberation using multi-channel linearly constrained minimum variance filter
Speech acquired from an array of distant microphones is affected by ambient noise and reverberation. Single channel linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) filters have been proposed to remove ambient noise. In this paper, an algorithm for joint noise cancellation and dereverberation using a multi channel LCMV filter in the frequency domain is proposed. A single channel LCMV filter which a...
