A generalized subspace approach for enhancing speech corrupted by colored noise
نویسندگان
چکیده
A generalized subspace approach is proposed for enhancement of speech corrupted by colored noise. A nonunitary transform, based on the simultaneous diagonalization of the clean speech and noise covariance matrices, is used to project the noisy signal onto a signal-plus-noise subspace and a noise subspace. The clean signal is estimated by nulling the signal components in the noise subspace and retaining the components in the signal subspace. The applied transform has built-in prewhitening and can therefore be used in general for colored noise. The proposed approach is shown to be a generalization of the approach proposed by Ephraim and Van Trees for white noise. Two estimators were derived based on the nonunitary transform, one based on time-domain constraints and one based on spectral domain constraints. Objective and subjective measures demonstrated improvements over other subspace-based methods when tested with TIMIT sentences corrupted with speech-shaped noise and multi-talker babble.

Perceptually-constrained generalized singular value decomposition-based approach for enhancing speech corrupted by colored noise
In a previous work, we have successfully integrated the transformation-based signal subspace technique with the generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) algorithm to develop an improved speech enhancement framework [1]. In this paper, we further incorporate the perceptual masking effect of the psychoacoustics model as extra constraints of the previously proposed GSVD-based algorithm to o...
متن کاملExtension of the local subspace method to enhancement of speech with colored noise
Based on dynamic features of human speech, the local projection (LP) method has been adapted to the enhancement of speech corrupted by white noise. As an extension of the LP method, a strategy with two rounds of projection is introduced to enhance the speech contaminated with colored noise. Colored noise mainly resides in a low dimensional subspace, and is assumed to be stationary in this commu...
