چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new approach to improve the performance of speech enhancement technique based on multi-band spectral subtraction for white Gaussian noise. First, the original power spectral subtraction and multiband spectral subtraction methods are surveyed and implemented. Next, the generalization is applied on multiband spectral subtraction. Finally, the flattened noise spectrum with the value of the average of spectrum components is used as the noise estimation and then a power factor is optimized in order to increase the enhancement performance. The results show a meaningful improvement. Comparisons of three methods are reported.

متن کاملEnhancing Speech Signal Using Multiband Spectral Subtraction Method
Aim of speech enhancement is to improve the intelligibility and quality of the speech. By recording the speech signal in the noisy environment, clean speech signals are degraded. Speech enhancement reduces the noise without distorting the original (clean) signal. In this concept, Multi-Band Spectral Subtraction (MBSS) method is used to enhance the noisy speech signal. This approach, takes into ...
