PSD estimation in Beamspace for Estimating Direct-to-Reverberant Ratio from A Reverberant Speech Signal
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for estimation of direct-to-reverberant ratio (DRR) using a microphone array is proposed. The proposed method estimates the power spectral density (PSD) of the direct sound and the reverberation using the algorithm PSD estimation in beamspace with a microphone array and calculates the DRR of the observed signal. The speech corpus of the ACE (Acoustic Characterisation of Environments) Challenge was utilised for evaluating the practical feasibility of the proposed method. The experimental results revealed that the proposed method was able to effectively estimate the DRR from a recording of a reverberant speech signal which included various environmental noise.

Analysis of Eigenvalue Decomposition-Based Late Reverberation Power Spectral Density Estimation
Many speech dereverberation techniques require an estimate of the late reverberation power spectral density (PSD). State-of-the-art multi-channel methods for estimating the late reverberation PSD typically rely on 1) an estimate of the relative transfer functions (RTFs) of the target signal, 2) a model for the spatial coherence matrix of the late reverberation, and 3) an estimate of the reverbe...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of dual source transfer-function generalized sidelobe canceller
In this work, we evaluate the performance of a recently proposed adaptive beamformer, namely Dual source Transfer-Function Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (DTF-GSC). The DTF-GSC is useful for enhancing a speech signal received by an array of microphones in a noisy and reverberant environment. We demonstrate the applicability of the DTF-GSC in some representative reverberant and non-reverberant e...
متن کاملBeamspace blind signal separation for speech enhancement
Signal processing methods for speech enhancement are of vital interest for communications equipments. In particular, multichannel algorithms, which perform spatial filtering to separate signals that have overlapping frequency content but different spatial origins, are important for a wide range of applications. Two of the most popular multichannel methods are blind signal separation (BSS) and b...
متن کاملIdeal Ratio Mask Estimation Using Deep Neural Networks for Monaural Speech Segregation in Noisy Reverberant Conditions
Monaural speech segregation is an important problem in robust speech processing and has been formulated as a supervised learning problem. In supervised learning methods, the ideal binary mask (IBM) is usually used as the target because of its simplicity and large speech intelligibility gains. Recently, the ideal ratio mask (IRM) has been found to improve the speech quality over the IBM. However...
متن کاملNoise Power Spectral Density Estimation for Public Address Systems in Noisy Reverberant Environments
In many public areas, public address systems play a central role in broadcasting important messages. Consider e.g., airports or train stations. The intelligibility of messages broadcast by such public address systems gets reduced due to environmental noise sources. Usually, these systems therefore employ a pre-processing module to modify the original message such that its intelligibility in the...
