Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition under real environments using adaptive sub-band spectral subtraction

چکیده
In this study, we propose an Adaptive Sub-Band Spectral Subtraction (ASBSS) method which can vary noise subtraction rate according to SNR in frequency bands at each frame. In the conventional Spectral Subtraction(SS), speech spectral is estimated by adjusting noise subtraction rate according to SNR. In general, SNR is defined and computed as the average over all the input speech signal. However, even if the noise is stationary, SNR varies according to speech energy. Therefore the subtraction rate of noise spectral should be adjusted according to the segmental SNR. This method is called Adaptive SS(ASS). Considering difference of spectral features such as vowel and consonant, the subtraction rate of noise spectral should be adjusted according to the sub-band SNR. This idea leads to the ASBSS method we propose in this paper. In order to evaluate the proposed method, we carried out Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition experiments and compared the results by our method with the conventional method in word accuracy.

Hands-free speech recognition using blind source separation post-processed by two-stage spectral subtraction
This paper proposes hands-free speech recognition using blind source separation (BSS) post-processed by two-stage spectral subtraction (2S-SS). The BSS using independent component analysis (ICA) estimates a target signal and jammer signals. The 2S-SS removes its residual crosstalk components and suppresses spatially-distributed noise not separated by BSS. In large vocabulary continuous speech r...

In this paper, the implementation of a robust front-end to be used for a large-vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (CSR) system based on a Voiced-Unvoiced (V-U) decision has been addressed. Our approach is based on the separation of the speech signal into voiced and unvoiced components. Consequently, speech enhancement can be achieved through processing of the voiced and the unvoiced compo...

A blind dereverberation method based on spectral subtraction using a multi-channel least mean squares algorithm was previously proposed. The results of a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition task showed that this method achieved significant improvements over the conventional method based on cepstral mean normalization and beamforming in a simulated reverberant environment without addi...

We propose a noise robust speech recognition method based on combining novel features extracted from fundamental frequency (F0) information and spectral subtraction. F0 features have been shown to be effective in speech recognition in noisy environments. Recently, F0 features obtained by Hough transform were developed for concatenated digit recognition and significantly improved recognition per...
