Speech/Noise-Dominant Decision regardless of SNR for Speech Enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
In speech enhancement, a decision between speech dominant and noise one is important to reduce noise for increasing intelligibility. This paper presents a speech/noise-dominant decision regardless of SNR. In the proposed decision, the influence of noise is reduced by subtracting the noise component. Therefore, the proposed method decides between the speech dominant and noise one accurately. From the investigation of segmental SNR, Itakura-Saito distortion measure and listening tests, the speech enhancement using the proposed decision reduces speech distortion though segmental SNR improvement is kept.

A Novel Frequency Domain Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance Filter for Speech Enhancement
A reliable speech enhancement method is important for speech applications as a pre-processing step to improve their overall performance. In this paper, we propose a novel frequency domain method for single channel speech enhancement. Conventional frequency domain methods usually neglect the correlation between neighboring time-frequency components of the signals. In the proposed method, we take...
متن کاملSpeech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...
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 کاملSpeech enhancement with improved a posteriori SNR computation
In speech enhancement, the decision-directed (DD) approach to compute the a priori SNR is often used to reduce the musical tones. However, the constant DD weighting factor very close to one results in more speech distortion during transitional speech segments. Contrarily, a time-varying weighting factor gives less speech distortion but with more residual noise in speech pause. In this contribut...
