Joint noise reduction and dereverberation of speech using hybrid TF-GSC and adaptive MMSE estimator

چکیده
This paper proposes a new multichannel hybrid method for dereverberation of speech signals in noisy environments. This method extends the use of a hybrid noise reduction method for dereverberation which is based on the combination of Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC) and a single-channel noise reduction stage. In this research, we employ Transfer Function GSC (TF-GSC) that is more suitable for dereverberation. The single-channel stage is an Adaptive Minimum Mean-Square Error (AMMSE) spectral amplitude estimator. We also modify the AMMSE estimator for dereverberation application. Experimental results demonstrate superiority of the proposed method in dereverberation of speech signal in noisy environments.

Joint noise reduction and acoustic echo cancellation using the transfer-function generalized sidelobe canceller
Man machine interaction requires an acoustic interface for providing full duplex hands-free communication. The transfer-function generalized sidelobe canceller (TF-GSC) is an adaptive beamformer suitable for enhancing a speech signal received by an array of microphones in a noisy and reverberant environment. When an echo signal is also present in the microphone output signals, cascade schemes o...

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...

In this paper a frequency-domain technique is described for estimating the acoustic transfer functions, when reverberated speech signals are corrupted by spatially coloured noise. This technique is an extension of the frequencydomain procedure of [1], which is only optimal in the case of spatially white noise. Using the estimated acoustic transfer functions, dereverberation can be performed wit...

This paper introduces two shon-time spectral amplitude estimators for speech enhancement with multiple microphones. Based on joint Gaussian models of speech and noise Fourier coefficients the clean speech amplitudes are estimated with respect to the MMSE or the MAP criterion. The estimators outperform single microphone minimum mean square amplitude estimators when the speech is highly correlate...
