Robust Delay-&-predict Equalization for Blind Simo Channel Dereverberation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the blind multichannel dereverberation problem for a single source. We have shown before [5] that the single-input multioutput (SIMO) reverberation filter can be equalized blindly by applying multivariate Linear Prediction (LP) to its output (after SISO input pre-whitening). In this paper, we investigate the LP-based dereverberation in a noisy environment, and/or under acoustic channel length underestimation. Considering ambient noise and late reverberation as additive noises, we propose to introduce a postfilter that transforms the multivariate prediction filter into a somewhat longer equalizer. The postfilter allows to equalize to non-zero delay. Both MMSE-ZF and MMSE design criteria are considered here for the postfilter. Simulations show that the proposed scheme is robust in noisy environments and channel length underestimation, and performs better compared to the classic Delay-&-Predict equalizer and the Delay-&-Sum beamformer.

Iterated Delay and Predict Equalization for Blind Speech Dereverberation
In this paper, we consider the blind multichannel dereverberation problem for a single source. The multichannel reverberation impulse response is assumed to be stationary enough to allow estimation of the correlations it induces from the received signals. It is well-known that a single-input multi-output (SIMO) filter can be equalized blindly by applying multichannel linear prediction (LP) to i...
متن کاملIn: Icassp97 Pp.1849-1852 Blind Equalization of Switching Channels by Ica and Learning of Learning Rate
In the literature of blind equalization, algorithms developed for equalizing an SISO or SIMO channel fail sometimes when the channel condition is poor. We derive blind equalization algorithms from blind separation algorithms to equalize the SISO channel with fractionally sampling. The approach is also applied to equalize SIMO or MIMO channels. For switching channels, we use an updating rule to ...

متن کاملOne Microphone Blind Dereverberation Based on Quasi-periodicity of Speech Signals
Speech dereverberation is desirable with a view to achieving, for example, robust speech recognition in the real world. However, it is still a challenging problem, especially when using a single microphone. Although blind equalization techniques have been exploited, they cannot deal with speech signals appropriately because their assumptions are not satisfied by speech signals. We propose a new...
متن کاملColumn-anchored zeroforcing blind equalization for multiuser wireless FIR channels
We propose a direct blind zeroforcing approach to cancel intersymbol interference (ISI) in multiple user finite impulse response (FIR) channels. By selectively anchoring columns of the channel convolution matrix, we present two columnanchored zeroforcing equalizers (CAZE), one without output delay and one with a chosen delay. Unlike many known blind identification algorithms, these equalizers d...
