Adaptive Spectral Shaping Using LP Filter Decomposition to Improve Perceptual Quality of Coded Speech
نویسنده
چکیده
An adaptive time-domain postfiltering technique based on the synthesis LP filter factorisation is proposed. Information is gathered about the relation between the LP filter poles and formants for this factorisation. This technique shapes the main formant differently from the other formants. Pole locations representing the main formant are modified and optimum shaping constants for each formant are searched to make more narrower main formant bandwidth while maintaining other formant information and more attenuation in valley regions. Key-Words: Speech spectrum, postfilter, formant frequency, synthesis filter.

متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Adaptive Kalman Filter Combined With Perceptual Weighting Filter
The speech enhancement is one of the important techniques used to improve the quality of a speech signal i.e. degraded by noise. Speech enhancement using conventional kalman filter require calculating the parameters of AR (auto-regressive) model, and performing a lot of matrix operations, which is non-adaptive. In this paper the proposed method i.e. adaptive kalman filter combined with perceptu...
متن کاملModifying LPC Parameter Dynamics to Improve Speech Coder Efficiency
Reducing the transmission bandwidth and achieving higher speech quality are primary concerns in developing new speech coding algorithms. The goal of this thesis is to improve the perceptual speech quality of algorithms that employ linear predictive coding (LPC). Most LPC-based speech coders extract parameters representing an all-pole filter. This LPC analysis is performed on each block or frame...
متن کاملSmoothing the Evolution of the Spectral Parameters in Speech Coders
New generation of speech coders have to achieve two goals: efficient use of bandwidth and high speech quality. The objective of this thesis is to improve the modelling of speech signal within the constraints of a low bit rate coder. Many speech coding algorithms use Linear Prediction (LP) coefficients to describe the power spectrum of the speech. These parameters are obtained for blocks of inpu...
متن کاملA masking-threshold-adapted weighting filter for excitation search
Most LPC-based audio coders improve reproduction quality by using predictor coefficients to embody perceptual masking in noise spectral shaping. Since the predictor coefficients were originally derived to characterize sound production models, they cannot precisely describe the human ear’s nonlinear responses to frequency and loudness. In this paper, we report on new approaches to exploiting the...
