A new approach for wavelet speech enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new approach to improve the performance of speech enhancement techniques based on wavelet thresholding. First, space–adaptation of the threshold is obtained by extending the principle of the level–dependent threshold to the Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT). Next, the time–adaptation is introduced using the Teager Energy Operator (TEO) of the wavelets coefficients. Finally, the time–space adapted threshold is proposed. Comparisons with the Ephraim and Malah Filter are reported.

A New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملA New Approach for Speech Enhancement Based On Singular Value Decomposition and Wavelet Transform
In this paper a new approach for speech enhancement is presented. The proposed algorithm is based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and wavelet transform. A model of contaminant noise is estimated by using SVD in the recommended method and then, using of noise estimation determines thresholding value. Needlessness of silence frame in order to estimate the noise model is an advantage of sugg...
متن کاملA new approach for speech enhancement based on the adaptive thresholding of the wavelet packets
In this paper, we propose a new speech enhancement system using the wavelet thresholding algorithm. The basic wavelet thresholding algorithm has some defects including the assumption of white Gaussian noise (WGN), malfunction in unvoiced segments, bad auditory quality, etc. In the proposed system, we introduce a new algorithmwhich does not require any voiced/ unvoiced detection system.Also, in ...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement using Adaptive Data-Based Dictionary Learning
In this paper, a speech enhancement method based on sparse representation of data frames has been presented. Speech enhancement is one of the most applicable areas in different signal processing fields. The objective of a speech enhancement system is improvement of either intelligibility or quality of the speech signals. This process is carried out using the speech signal processing techniques ...
