Blind source extraction based on a direction-dependent a-priori SNR
نویسندگان
چکیده
In many hands-free applications, we encounter a speaker located in the near-field embedded in diffuse far-field noise. In this paper, we contribute an algorithm to estimate the speech and noise power spectral density (PSD) based on a directiondependent SNR (DD-SNR). The only prior knowledge needed is a model of the diffuse noise sound field. The enhanced speech signal is obtained by a parametric multi-channel Wiener filter (PMWF), which is constructed without any speech presence or absence probabilities, or smoothing in frequency. We achieve high speech quality and sufficient noise reduction by iteratively improving the speech PSD estimate using the output of the PMWF. The performance of our algorithm is demonstrated by using the PESQ and PEASS measures.

In this paper we propose the spatial sparsity based WCSSDOA method for multi speakers' Direction of arrival estimation. In the proposed method the sparse modeling is done based on the sensor signals' correlation matrix, which leads to low computational complexity. In this method the SVD decomposition of the noise covariance matrix is proposed to reach the free noise sparse model, which leads to...
متن کاملCapacity Bounds and High-SNR Capacity of the Additive Exponential Noise Channel With Additive Exponential Interference
Communication in the presence of a priori known interference at the encoder has gained great interest because of its many practical applications. In this paper, additive exponential noise channel with additive exponential interference (AENC-AEI) known non-causally at the transmitter is introduced as a new variant of such communication scenarios. First, it is shown that the additive Gaussian ch...
متن کاملA Novel Semiblind Signal Extraction Approach for the Removal of Eye-Blink Artifact from EEGs
A novel blind signal extraction (BSE) scheme for the removal of eye-blink artifact from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is proposed. In this method, in order to remove the artifact, the source extraction algorithm is provided with an estimation of the column of the mixing matrix corresponding to the point source eye-blink artifact. The eye-blink source is first extracted and then cleaned, ar...
متن کاملRay-based blind deconvolution in ocean sound channels.
This letter describes a ray-based blind deconvolution technique for ocean sound channels that produces broadband estimates of the source-to-array impulse response and the original source waveform from array-measured signals corrupted by (unknown) multipath propagation. The technique merely requires elementary knowledge of array geometry and sound speed at the array location. It is based on iden...
متن کاملExtraction of Sensory part of Ulnar Nerve Signal Using Blind Source Separation Method
A recorded nerve signal via an electrode is composed of many evokes or action potentials, (originated from individual axons) which may be considered as different initial sources. Recovering these primitive sources in its turn may lead us to the anatomic originations of a nerve signal which will give us outstanding foresights in neural rehabilitations. Accordingly, clinical interests may be r...
