Speech Quality Assessment for Listening-Room Compensation - AES 38th Proceedings

چکیده
In this contribution objective measures for quality assessment of speech signals are evaluated for listeningroom compensation algorithms. Dereverberation of speech signals by means of equalization of the room impulse response and reverberation suppression has been an active research topic within the last years. However, no commonly accepted objective quality measures exist for assessment of the enhancement achieved by those algorithms. This paper discusses several objective quality measures and their applicability for dereverberation of speech signals focusing on algorithms for listening-room compensation.

متن کاملListening room compensation for wave field synthesis
Common room compensation algorithms are capable of dereverberating the listening room at some discrete points only. Outside these equalization points the sound quality is often even worse compared to the unequalized case. As wave £eld synthesis in principle allows to control the wave £eld within the listening area it can also be used to compensate for the re¤ections caused by the listening room...
متن کاملObjective Quality Measures for Dereverberation Methods based on Room Impulse Response Equalization
Hands-free communication devices are commonly used e.g. in offices or car environments. These devices have to cope with several problems such as ambient noise, acoustic echoes and room reverberation. Reverberation is caused by reflections at room boundaries in enclosed spaces and increases with the spatial distance between the loudspeaker and the near-end user. A high amount of reverberation de...
متن کاملEvaluation of a perceptually optimized room-in-room reproduction method for playback room compensation
In sound reproduction it is usually desired to reproduce a sound source as accurate as possible to achieve a natural and realistic sound representation of the sound source. A perceptually motivated sound reproduction approach was suggested by [Grosse, van de Par, IEEE, 2015] where only the perceptually most relevant cues of a sound eld in the recording room are considered. These perceptually re...
متن کاملControlling the impulse responses and the spatial variability in digital loudspeaker-room correction
This paper illustrates the main principles for loudspeaker compensation and compensation of the room acoustics that are used by Dirac Research and that have resulted in the technologies Dirac Live® for single-channel compensation and Dirac Unison for joint multi-channel compensation. A first main aim is to control not only the frequency domain properties of the system but also the time domain p...
