Spectral subtraction with adaptive averaging of the gain function
نویسندگان
چکیده
The handsfree mode is convenient when using a mobile phone in a vehicle. This mode brings the microphone away from the talker’s mouth. As a consequence the speech signal picked up has low Signal to Noise Ratio. Thus, to improve the SNR a noise reduction method is employed. The proposed method is an improvement of the well-known spectral subtraction method which uses one SNR-dependent gain function to suppress the noise. The proposed method reduces the residual noise artifacts by using an adaptive averaging of the gain function. The adaptation is controlled by a spectral discrepancy measure, which is obtained by comparing the averaged noise spectrum and the current input signal spectrum. Experiments show a noise reduction of 10 dB with good noise quality and significantly low residual noise distortion. Sound results are presented at http://www.its.hk-r.se/research

متن کاملNoise reduction based on adaptive β-order generalized spectral subtraction for speech enhancement
Though spectral subtraction has widely been used for speech enhancement, the spectral order β set in spectral subtraction is generally fixed to some constants, resulting in the performance limitation to a certain degree. In this paper, we first analyze the performance of the β-order generalized spectral subtraction in terms of the gain function to highlight its dependence on the value of spectr...
