Speech Enhancement of Noisy Speech Using Log-Spectral Amplitude Estimator and Harmonic Tunneling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a two stage noise reduction algorithm for speech enhancement. The speech noise removal algorithm is based on a two stage noise filtering LSAHT by log spectral amplitude speech estimator (LSA) and harmonic tunneling (HT) with spectral subtraction. The performance of the system is measured by the segmental signal-to-noise ratio, mean opinion score (MOS) tests, and the recognition accuracy of an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in comparison to other noise reduction methods.

MixMax Approximation as a Super-Gaussian Log-Spectral Amplitude Estimator for Speech Enhancement
For single-channel speech enhancement, most commonly, the noisy observation is described as the sum of the clean speech signal and the noise signal. For machine learning based enhancement schemes where speech and noise are modeled in the log-spectral domain, however, the log-spectrum of the noisy observation can be described as the maximum of the speech and noise log-spectrum to simplify statis...

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...
متن کاملWeighted Log-spectral Amplitude Estimation with Generalized Gamma Distribution under Speech Presence Probability
In this paper, we propose a speech enhancement approach. The approach is based on deriving weighted log-spectral amplitude estimator that exploits the generalized Gamma distributed speech priors under speech presence probability. The log-spectral amplitude estimator is weighted by psychoacoustically motivated speech distortion measure to take advantage of the perceptual interpretation. The expe...
