Optimal subband Kalman filter for normal and oesophageal speech enhancement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the single channel speech enhancement system using subband Kalman filtering by estimating optimal Autoregressive (AR) coefficients and variance for speech and noise, using Weighted Linear Prediction (WLP) and Noise Weighting Function (NWF). The system is applied for normal and Oesophageal speech signals. The method is evaluated by Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) score and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) improvement for normal speech and Harmonic to Noise Ratio (HNR) for Oesophageal Speech (OES). Compared with previous systems, the normal speech indicates 30% increase in PESQ score, 4 dB SNR improvement and OES shows 3 dB HNR improvement.

Subband Kalman Filtering for Speech Enhancement
Kalman filtering is an effective speech-enhancement technique, in which speech signals are usually modeled as autoregressive (AR) processes and represented in the state-space domain. Since AR coefficients identification and Kalman filtering require extensive computations, real-time implementation of this approach is difficult. This paper proposes a simple and practical scheme that overcomes the...
متن کاملEnhancement of Shimmer and Hnr in Oesophageal Speech
This research work presents an oesophageal speech improvement algorithm using Wavelet and Kalman Filtering approach. In both techniques, it has been used different mother wavelet for wavelet approach and different measurement noises for Kalman filtering. People who have suffered from larynx cancer have enormously low intelligibility due to the surgery. A new algorithm has been developed to impr...
متن کاملSingle Channel Adaptive Kalman Filtering – Based Speech Enhancement Algorithm
This paper deals with the problem of speech enhancement when a corrupted speech signal with an additive Gaussian white noise is the only information available for processing. Speech enhancement aims to improve speech quality by using various algorithms. The objective of enhancement is improvement in intelligibility and/or overall perceptual quality of degraded speech signal using audio signal p...
متن کاملGlottal Waveform Model for Oesophageal Speech
Oesophageal speech, a mode of speech for laryngectomees, is of low quality and intelligibility comparative to normal (laryngeal) speech. Understanding the signal differences between oesophageal and normal speech will help future oesophageal speech enhancement methods. We aim to produce a method to synthesise oesophageal speech using a simple source–filter model. In this paper, we fit a parametr...
متن کاملRobust Adaptive Kalman Filter for Speech Signal Recovery in Colored Noise
This paper deals with the problem of speech enhancement when a corrupted speech signal with an additive colored noise is the only information available for processing. Kalman filtering is known as an effective speech enhancement technique, in which speech signal is usually modeled as autoregressive (AR) process and represented in the state-space domain. In the above context, all the Kalman filt...
