Speech Intelligibility with Acoustic and Contact Microphones
Speech intelligibility of signals obtained with an acoustic microphone and three types of vibration-driven contact microphones was assessed using the Diagnostic Rhyme Test (DRT). Stimulus words were recorded digitally in a reverberant chamber with no noise and with ambient broadband noise intensity at 106 dB(A). Listeners completed the DRT task in the same settings, thus simulating typical envi...
متن کاملUsing Body-Conducted Acoustic Sensors for Human-Robot Communication in Noisy Environments
In this study, the use of alternative acoustic sensors in human‐robot communication is investigated. In particular, a Non‐Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone was applied in tele‐operating the Geminoid HI‐1 robot in noisy environments. The current study introduces the methodology and the results of speech intelligibility subjective tests when a NAM microphone was ...

متن کاملSpeech intelligibility in noise using throat and acoustic microphones.
INTRODUCTION Helicopter cockpits are very noisy and this noise must be reduced for effective communication. The standard U.S. Army aviation helmet is equipped with a noise-canceling acoustic microphone, but some ambient noise still is transmitted. Throat microphones are not sensitive to air molecule vibrations and thus, transmittal of ambient noise is reduced. It is possible that throat microph...
متن کاملDesigning modulation filters for improving speech intelligibility in reverberant environments
In this paper, we propose a new technique to design modulation filters to reduce degradation of speech intelligibility in reverberant environments. Using the inverse modulation transfer function, we design data-derived modulation filters for each speech frequency band. These filters preprocess speech signals between a microphone and a loudspeaker that radiates speech into a performance hall. Us...
