چکیده
* This paper is supported by National Science Foundation of China (69872014) ABSTRACT The performance of widely-used adaptive noise canceling(ANC) deteriorates much when the desired signal is leaked into the reference channel or when there are uncorrelated noises present in the reference channel. This paper proposes a dual-microphone scheme, named Iterative Noise Canceling (INC), to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above. The proposed INC system, in which a codebook-based speech quality measure is employed to control a modified iterative Wiener filter (MIWF), can automatically reduce noises in the primary input until convergence occurs. In comparison with traditional ANC algorithm, the evaluation using real noises and voices recorded in a car shows the noise reduction performance is dramatically improved, even in cases that the reference SNR is close to 0 dB.

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 کاملTwo stage iterative Wiener filtering for speech enhancement
We formulate a two-stage Iterative Wiener filtering (IWF) approach to speech enhancement, bettering the performance of constrained IWF, reported in literature. The codebook constrained IWF (CCIWF) has been shown to be effective in achieving convergence of IWF in the presence of both stationary and non-stationary noise. To this, we include a second stage of unconstrained IWF and show that the sp...

A clean speech VQ codebook has been shown to be effective in providing intraframe constraints and hence better convergence of the iterative Wiener filtering scheme for single channel speech enhancement. Here we present an extension of the single channel CCIWF scheme to binaural speech input by incorporating a speech distortion weighted multi-channel Wiener filter. The new algorithm shows consid...

متن کاملSpeech Enhancement using Markov M
It has been shown that the Iterative Weiner Filtering (IWF) requires both intra-frame and inter-frame constraints to ensure that the enhanced speech spectra possess natural characteristics of speech. One automated way to apply the intra-frame constraints is Codebook Constrained Wiener Filtering (CCWF). In the present work, we propose a new method of imposing the inter-frame constraints based on...
