An effective microphone array post-filter in arbitrary environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theoretic foundation of traditional microphone array postfilters is the signal model in which the noise between sensors is assumed to be uncorrelated. However, this model is inaccurate in real environments since the correlated noise exists. In this paper, a more generalized signal model which considers both the correlated and uncorrelated noise is introduced. A general expression of the microphone array post-filter is proposed for this model. For better residual noise shaping, the human auditory property is incorporated into the post-filter estimation process. In experiments with real noise microphone array recordings, the proposed technique has shown to produce impressive results in terms of quality measures of the enhanced speech.

A hybrid microphone array post-filter in a diffuse noise field
This paper proposes a hybrid post-filter for microphone arrays with the assumption of a diffuse noise field, where few postfilter performs well, to suppress correlated as well as uncorrelated noises. In the proposed post-filter, a modified Zelinski post-filter is applied to the high frequencies to suppress spatially uncorrelated noise and a single-channel Wiener post-filter is applied to the lo...
متن کاملImproved hybrid microphone array post-filter by integrating a robust speech absence probability estimator for speech enhancement
To improve the performance of multi-channel speech enhancement algorithms, we previously proposed a hybrid Wiener postfilter for microphone arrays under the assumption of a diffuse noise field [4]. In this paper, considering the speech presence uncertainty, we further improve the hybrid post-filter presented before by integrating a novel robust estimator for the a priori speech absence probabil...
متن کاملCar Speech Enhancement Using Microphone Array Beamforming and Post Filters
This paper presents a speech enhancement method to suppress the car noise interference. A linear microphone array is adopted for far-talking speech acquisition and delayand-sum beamforming noise reduction. We exploit an effective time delay estimator using the coherence function between the reference microphone and the beamformed speech. To further enhance the beamformed speech, we design an im...

We propose a robust microphone array for speech enhancement and noise suppression. To overcome target signal cancellation problem of conventional beamformes caused by array imperfections or reverberation effects, the proposed method adopts arbitrary transfer function relating each microphone and target speech signal as array channel model. This is achieved in two ways. First, we propose a metho...
متن کاملMultichannel Cross-talk Cancellation in a Call-center Scenario Using Frequency-domain Adaptive Filtering
We propose a multichannel residual cross-talk cancellation strategy to operate in environments where each microphone signal is dominated by one of several simultaneously active sound sources, like in a call-center scenario. The method relies on a two-step adaptive filtering scheme derived from an established GSC structure. The filter updates are performed in the frequency domain to allow an eff...
