Show & Tell: Iterative Refinement of Amplitude and Phase in Single-channel Speech Enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
While the state-of-the-art speech enhancement methods are focused on the modification of the noisy spectral amplitude, our recent findings demonstrate positive impact of incorporating the speech phase spectrum in speech enhancement. In this show and tell proposal, we demonstrate the recent progress towards utilizing the phase information in closed-loop iterative manner leading to the joint enhancement of amplitude and phase spectra. In this show and tell, we provide a demo where a recorded speech corrupted with noise is enhanced by an iterative refinement of amplitude and phase. The improvement in speech enhancement in various signal-to-noise ratios is justified by improved perceived speech quality as well as not degrading the speech intelligibility performance.

Many short-time Fourier transform (STFT) based singlechannel speech enhancement algorithms are focused on estimating clean speech spectral amplitude from the noisy observed signal in order to suppress the additive noise. To this end, the state-of-the-art speech enhancement algorithms, employ noisy amplitude information and correspondingly a priori and a posteriori SNRs while they use no informa...

متن کاملSTFT Phase Improvement for Single Channel Speech Enhancement
In state-of-the-art single channel short-time Fourier transform (STFT) based speech enhancement algorithms only the amplitude of the noisy speech signal is improved, but its phase is left unchanged. It is commonly assumed that the noisy phase is the best estimate of the clean phase available. While using the noisy phase is indeed optimal under certain statistical assumptions, in this paper we s...
متن کاملOn speech intelligibility estimation of phase-aware single-channel speech enhancement
To reduce time and costs in the development process of noise reduction algorithms, an objective intelligibility measure is crucial. Such a measure has to show high correlation with speech intelligibility determined by real listening experiments. In the past several measures were found that perform reliable in a particular scenario when only the spectral amplitude of a noisy signal is modified. ...
