Study on the dereverberation of speech based on temporal envelope filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we explore speech dereverberation techniques whose principle is the recovery of the envelope modulations of the original (anechoic) speech [3],[4]. Based on our previous experience with such kind of processing for additive noise reduction applications, we apply a data designed lterbank technique [2] to the reverberant speech. Comparing our results with other works we discuss the e ectiveness and limitations of this type of approaches.

Refinement of an MTF-based speech dereverberation method using an optimal inverse-MTF filter
We previously proposed a speech dereverberation method based on the modulation transfer function (MTF). This method consists of power envelope restoration and carrier regeneration processes, and reduces both the loss due to degraded power envelopes and the loss of speech intelligibility. In the power envelope restoration, however, whether adaptive time-frequency division provides the best repre...

This paper proposes a speech dereverberation method based on the MTF concept. This method can be used without measuring the impulse response of room acoustics. In the model, the power envelopes and carriers are decomposed from a reverberant speech signal using an N -channel filterbank and then are dereverberated in each respective channel. In the envelope dereverberation process, a power envelo...

In this paper, we present a new dereverberation algorithm called Temporal Masking and Thresholding (TMT) to enhance the temporal spectra of spectral features for robust speech recognition in reverberant environments. This algorithm is motivated by the precedence effect and temporal masking of human auditory perception. This work is an improvement of our previous dereverberation work called Supp...

This paper proposes two methods for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) in reverberant environments. Unlike other methods which mostly apply inverse filtering by blindly estimated room impulse responses to achieve dereverberation, the proposed methods are based on the utilization of the characteristics of speech. The first method Harmonicity based Feature Analysis – takes advantage of the...
متن کاملDevelopment of the MTF-based speech dereverberation method using adaptive time-frequency division
We previously proposed a speech dereverberation method based on the modulation transfer function (MTF) concept. In that model, power envelopes and carriers are decomposed from a reverberant speech signal using a constant-bandwidth filterbank and then are restored in each respective channel using, respectively, power envelope inverse filtering and a carrier regeneration method. In this paper, we...
