Denoising Using Optimized Wavelet Filtering for Automatic Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an improved denoising method based on filtering of the noisy wavelet coefficients using a Wiener gain for automatic speech recognition (ASR). We optimize the wavelet parameters for speech and different noise profiles to achieve a better estimate of the Wiener gain for effective filtering. Moreover, we introduce a scaling parameter in the Wiener gain to minimize mismatch caused by distortion during the denoising process. Experimental results in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) show that the proposed method is effective and robust to different noise conditions.

متن کاملAn Adaptive Hierarchical Method Based on Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering for MRI Denoising
MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...
