Noise Reduction of Speech Signal using Wavelet Transform with Modified Universal Threshold
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, Discrete-wavelet transform (DWT) based algorithm are used for speech signal denoising. Here both hard and soft thresholding are used for denoising. Analysis is done on noisy speech signal corrupted by babble noise at 0dB, 5dB, 10dB and 15dB SNR levels. Simulation & results are performed in MATLAB 7.10.0 (R2010a). Output SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and MSE (Mean Square Error) is calculated & compared using both types of thresholding methods. Soft thresholding method performs better than hard thresholding at all input SNR levels. Hard thresholding shows a maximum of 21.79 dB improvement whereas soft thresholding shows a maximum of 35.16 dB improvement in output SNR. General Terms Thresholding, multi-resolution analysis, wavelet.

A 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 ...

Speech signal analysis is one of the important areas of research in multimedia applications. Discrete Wavelet technique is effectively reduces the unwanted higher or lower order frequency components in a speech signal. Wavelet-based algorithm for audio de-noising is worked out. We focused on audio signals corrupted with white Gaussian noise which is especially hard to remove because it is locat...

This paper introduces a novel speech enhancement system based on a wavelet denoising framework. In this system, the noisy speech is first preprocessed using a generalized spectral subtraction method to initially lower the noise level with negligible speech distortion. A perceptual wavelet transform is then used to decompose the resulting speech signal into critical bands. Threshold estimation i...
