An Auditory Scene Analysis Approach to Monaural Speech Segregation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A human listener has the remarkable ability to segregate an acoustic mixture and attend to a target sound. This perceptual process is called auditory scene analysis (ASA). Moreover, the listener can accomplish much of auditory scene analysis with only one ear. Research in ASA has inspired many studies in computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) for sound segregation. In this chapter we introduce a CASA approach to monaural speech segregation. After a brief overview of CASA, we present in detail a CASA system that segregates both voiced and unvoiced speech. Our description covers the major stages of CASA, including feature extraction, auditory segmentation, and grouping.

Improved monaural speech segregation based on computational auditory scene analysis
A lot of effort has been made in Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA) to segregate target speech from monaural mixtures. Based on the principle of CASA, this article proposes an improved algorithm for monaural speech segregation. To extract the energy feature more accurately, the proposed algorithm improves the threshold selection for response energy in initial segmentation stage. Since...
متن کاملOn Amplitude Modulation for Monaural Speech Segregation
We propose a computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) model for monaural speech segregation. It deals with low-frequency and high-frequency signals differently. For high-frequency signals, it generates segments based on common amplitude modulation (AM) and groups them according to AM repetition rates. This model performs substantially better than previous CASA systems.

The problem of segregating a sound source of interest from an acoustic background has been extensively studied due to applications in hearing prostheses, robust speech/speaker recognition and audio information retrieval. Computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) approaches the segregation problem by utilizing grouping cues involved in the perceptual organization of sound by human listeners. ...

Concurrent segregation is one of the fundamental components of auditory scene analysis and plays an important role in speech perception. In the present study, we compared auditory late responses or ALRs between hearing impaired and normal children. Materials & Methods...
متن کاملA classification based approach to speech segregation.
A key problem in computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) is monaural speech segregation, which has proven to be very challenging. For monaural mixtures, one can only utilize the intrinsic properties of speech or interference to segregate target speech from background noise. Ideal binary mask (IBM) has been proposed as a main goal of sound segregation in CASA and has led to substantial impr...
