Comparison of Wavelet and FFT Based Single Channel Speech Signal Noise Reduction Techniques

چکیده
This paper compares wavelet and short time Fourier transform based techniques for single channel speech signal noise reduction. Despite success of wavelet denoising of images, it has not yet been widely used for removal of noise in speech signals. We explored how to extend this technique to speech denoising, and discovered some problems in this endeavor. Experimental comparison with large amount test data has been performed. Our results have shown that although the Fourier domain methods still has the superiority, wavelet based alternatives can be very close, and enormous different configurations can still be tried out for possible better solutions.

متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
