Bayesian periodogram smoothing for speech enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Periodogram smoothing of the received noisy signal is a challenging problem in speech enhancement. We present a Bayesian approach, where the instantaneous periodogram is smoothed through an adaptive smoothing parameter. By updating sufficient statistics using new samples of the noisy signal, the smoothing parameter is adjusted on-line. The performance of the novel smoothing algorithm is studied in a speech enhancement context. It is demonstrated that with respect to Mean Square Error, the proposed Bayesian smoothing algorithm performs better than the other non-Bayesian smoothing algorithms in higher signal-to-noise ratio environments.

Noise spectrum estimation in adverse environments: improved minima controlled recursive averaging
Noise spectrum estimation is a fundamental component of speech enhancement and speech recognition systems. In this paper, we present an improved minima controlled recursive averaging (IMCRA) approach, for noise estimation in adverse environments involving nonstationary noise, weak speech components, and low input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The noise estimate is obtained by averaging past spec...
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 کاملBayesian Decision Theoretic Scale-adaptive Estimation of a Log-spectral Density
The problem of estimating the log-spectrum of a stationary Gaussian time series by Bayesianly induced shrinkage of empirical wavelet coefficients is studied. A model in the wavelet domain that accounts for distributional properties of the log-periodogram at levels of fine detail and approximate normality at coarse levels in the wavelet decomposition, is proposed. The smoothing procedure, called...
متن کاملAutomatic Estimation of Multivariate Spectra via Smoothing Splines
The classical method for estimating the spectral density of a multivariate time series is to first calculate the periodogram, and then smooth it to obtain a consistent estimator. Typically, to ensure the estimate is positive definite, all the elements of the periodogram are smoothed the same way. There are, however, many situations for which different components of the spectral matrix have diff...
متن کاملBayesian Spectrum and Chirp Analysis
We seek optimal methods of estimating power spectrum and chirp (frequency change) rate for the case that one has incomplete noisy data on values y(t) of a time series. The Schuster periodogram turns out to be a \su cient statistic" for the spectrum, a generalization playing the same role for chirped signals. However, the optimal processing is not a linear ltering operation like the Blackman{Tuk...
