A speech enhancement approach using piecewise linear approximation of an explicit model of environmental distortions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a speech enhancement approach derived by using a piecewise linear approximation (PLA) of an explicit model of environmental distortions. PLA is a generalization of two traditional approaches, namely vector Taylor series (VTS) and MAX approximations. Formulations are described for both maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of noise model parameters and minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimation of clean speech. Evaluation experiments are conducted to enhance speech signals corrupted by several types of additive noises. Compared to the traditional MAX-approximation based approach, our PLA-based speech enhancement approach achieves better performance in terms of two objective quality measures, namely segmental SNR and log-spectral distortion.

Irrelevant variability normalization based HMM training using VTS approximation of an explicit model of environmental distortions
In a traditional HMM compensation approach to robust speech recognition that uses Vector Taylor Series (VTS) approximation of an explicit model of environmental distortions, the set of generic HMMs are typically trained from “clean” speech only. In this paper, we present a maximum likelihood approach to training generic HMMs from both “clean” and “corrupted” speech based on the concept of irrel...
متن کاملClose interval approximation of piecewise quadratic fuzzy numbers for fuzzy fractional program
The fuzzy approach has undergone a profound structural transformation in the past few decades. Numerous studies have been undertaken to explain fuzzy approach for linear and nonlinear programs. While, the findings in earlier studies have been conflicting, recent studies of competitive situations indicate that fractional programming problem has a positive impact on comparative scenario. We pro...
متن کاملHybrid model predictive control of a nonlinear three-tank system based on the proposed compact form of piecewise affine model
In this paper, a predictive control based on the proposed hybrid model is designed to control the fluid height in a three-tank system with nonlinear dynamics whose operating mode depends on the instantaneous amount of system states. The use of nonlinear hybrid model in predictive control leads to a problem of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) which is very complex and time consuming t...
متن کاملA New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...
متن کاملVoltage Regulation of DC-DC Series Resonant Converter Operating in Discontinuous Conduction Mode: The Hybrid Control Approach
Dynamic modeling and control of dc-dc series resonant converter (SRC) especially when operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is still a challenge in power electronics. Due to semiconductors switching, SRC is naturally represented as a switched linear system, a class of hybrid systems. Nevertheless, the hybrid nature of the SRC is commonly neglected and it is modeled as a purely contin...
