[N569] Wavelet speech enhancement based on voiced/unvoiced decision
نویسندگان
چکیده
A wavelet-based speech enhancement algorithm for removing additive background noise from a single channel of noisy speech is proposed. In the algorithm, the enhancement is performed on a frame-by-frame basis, and each frame is classified into either voiced or unvoiced frame to deterimine the appropriate threshold in removing noise. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated on Aurora 2 database, which consists of noisy English connected digits, and it was deterimined to be better than that of traditional wavelet based methods.

Wavelet-Based Speech Enhancement Using Time-Frequency Adaptation
Recommended by Satya Dharanipragada Wavelet denoising is commonly used for speech enhancement because of the simplicity of its implementation. However, the conventional methods generate the presence of musical residual noise while thresholding the background noise. The unvoiced components of speech are often eliminated from this method. In this paper, a novel algorithm of wavelet coefficient th...
متن کاملDenoising Of Speech Signal By Classification Into Voiced, Unvoiced And Silence Region
In this paper, a speech enhancement method based on the classification of voiced, unvoiced and silence regions and using stationary wavelet transform is presented. To prevent the quality of degradation of speech during the denoising process, speech is first classified into voiced, unvoiced and silence regions. An experimentally verified criterion based on the short time energy process has been ...
متن کاملNew Adaptive Speech Enhancement System Using a Novel Wavelet Thresholding Technique
A new adaptive speech enhancement system, which utilizes a second-generation wavelet transform (SGWT) decomposition and a novel adaptive subband thresholding technique, is presented. The adaptive thresholding technique is based on accurate estimation of subband segmental signal-to-noise ratio (SegSNR) and voiced/unvoiced classification of the speech. First, the speech signal is segmented and ea...

In this paper, the implementation of a robust front-end to be used for a large-vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (CSR) system based on a Voiced-Unvoiced (V-U) decision has been addressed. Our approach is based on the separation of the speech signal into voiced and unvoiced components. Consequently, speech enhancement can be achieved through processing of the voiced and the unvoiced compo...

Kurzfassung: In this work, we propose an unsupervised monaural Arabic speech enhancement method that is based on two different techniques. The main idea is to determine an exact threshold value in the wavelet domain depending on the voicing state of the Arabic speech signal. Our proposed voiced/unvoiced decision algorithm based on the Multi-scale Product (MP) analysis is used. The MP is based o...
