Speech enhancement using weighting function based on the variance of wavelet coefficients

چکیده
There are few works on the problem of heavy noise corruption in wavelet-based speech enhancement. In this paper, a new method is introduced to adapt the weighting function for wavelet coefficients (WCs) in each subband. The idea is based on that the variance of WCs in speech-dominated frames is larger than the variance of WCs in noise-dominated frames. We can define a weighting function for WCs in each subband so that WCs are preserved in speech-dominated frames and reduced in noise-dominated frames. Then a weighting function in terms of WC’s variance is derived. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more robust than that of SNR adjusted speech enhancement system.

Speech Enhancement using Weight Variance of Wavelet
There are few works on the problem of heavy noise corruption in wavelet-based speech enhancement. In this paper, a new method is introduced to adapt the weighting function for wavelet coefficients (WCs) in each subband. The idea is based on that the change of WC variance in speech-dominated frames is larger than the change of WC variance in noisedominated frames. We can define a weighting funct...
متن کاملA 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 کاملAsia University, Taiwan SPEECH ENHANCEMENT USING WAVELET TRANSFORM WITH CONSTRAINED THRESHOLDS
Although the power spectral subtraction (PSS) in frequency domain and the soft/hard thresholding function in wavelet domain have been successfully applied in speech enhancement, however they increase the probability of negative error and generate musical residual noise. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that adapts the weight to wavelet coefficients (WCs) for each subband. The weights of...
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 کاملSpeech Enhancement using Laplacian Mixture Model under Signal Presence Uncertainty
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...
