Multichannel Direction-Independent Speech Enhancement Using Spectral Amplitude Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces two short-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 components are highly correlated and the noise components are sufficiently uncorrelated. Whereas the first MMSE estimator also requires knowledge of the direction of arrival, the second MAP estimator performs a direction-independent noise reduction. The estimators are generalizations of the well-known single channel MMSE estimator derived by Ephraim and Malah (1984) and the MAP estimator derived by Wolfe and Godsill (2001), respectively.

متن کاملDistributed multichannel speech enhancement with minimum mean-square error short-time spectral amplitude, log-spectral amplitude, and spectral phase estimation
In this paper, the authors present optimal multichannel frequency domain estimators for minimum mean-square error (MMSE) short-time spectral amplitude (STSA), log-spectral amplitude (LSA), and spectral phase estimation in a widely distributed microphone configuration. The estimators utilize Rayleigh and Gaussian statistical models for the speech prior and noise likelihood with a diffuse noise f...

In this paper, the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) ˇ-order estimator for multichannel speech enhancement is proposed. The estimator is an extension of the single-channel MMSE ˇ-order and multichannel MMSE short-time spectral amplitude estimators using Rayleigh and Gaussian distributions for the statistical models under the assumption of a diffuse noise field where the noise is estimated indepe...
متن کاملMultichannel Speech Enhancement Based on Generalized Gamma Prior Distribution with Its Online Adaptive Estimation
We present a multichannel speech enhancement method based on MAP speech spectral magnitude estimation using a generalized gamma model of speech prior distribution, where the model parameters are adapted from actual noisy speech in a frame-by-frame manner. The utilization of a more general prior distribution with its online adaptive estimation is shown to be effective for speech spectral estimat...
متن کاملA Multichannel Feature Compensation Approach for Robust ASR in Noisy and Reverberant Environments
In this paper we propose a multichannel feature compensation approach for automatic speech recognition in reverberant and noisy environments. The proposed technique propagates the posterior of the clean signal estimated by a multichannel Wiener filter in short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain into Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCC) domain. The multichannel Wiener filter reduces both...
