A Time-variant Reverberation Algorithm for Reverberation Enhancement Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new time-variant reverberation algorithm that can be used in reverberation enhancement systems. In these systems, acoustical feedback is always present and time variance can be used to obtain more gain before instability (GBI). The presented time-variant reverberation algorithm is analyzed and results of a practical GBI test are presented. The proposed reverberation algorithm has been used successfully with an electro-acoustically enhanced rehearsal room. This particular application is briefly overviewed and other possible applications are discussed.

A one-microphone algorithm for reverberant speech enhancement
We present an algorithm for reverberant speech enhancement using one microphone. We first propose a novel pitch-based reverberation measure for estimating reverberation time (RT60) based on the distribution of relative time lags. This measure of pitch strength correlates with reverberation and decreases systematically as detrimental effects of reverberation on harmonic structure increase. Then ...

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...

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,...
متن کاملSingle–Channel Speech Dereverberation based on Spectral Subtraction
Speech signals recorded with a distant microphone usually contain reverberation, which degrades the fidelity and intelligibility of speech in devices such as ’hands–free’ conference telephones, automatic speech recognition and hearing aids. One important effect of reverberation on speech is overlap–masking, i.e. the energy of the previous phonemes is smeared over time, and overlaps following ph...
متن کاملEcho-to-reverberation Enhancement Using a Time Reversal Mirror
Reverberation from rough ocean boundaries often degrades the performance of active sonar systems in the ocean. The focusing capability of the time-reversal method provides a new approach to this problem. A time reversal mirror (TRM) focuses acoustic energy on a target enhancing the target echo while shadowing the boundaries below and above the focus in a waveguide, thereby reducing reverberatio...
