An efficient method for Additive and Convolutive Noise Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is well known that the performance of an automatic speaker recognition system degrades in the presence of noise. The degradation of voice due to the presence of additive background noise and convolutive noise causes severe difficulties in various communication environments. This paper addresses the problem of reduction of additive as well as convolutive noise in speech. This paper explores a Spectral Subtraction approach together with the Cepstral Mean Normalization method for noise reduction.

Additive background noise and convolutive noise in the form of reverberation are two common types of noises in audio conferencing and hands-free telecommunication environments. In this project, we developed an efficient two-step adaptive noise reduction scheme to suppress these two types of noise. In particular, an Affine Projection Algorithm (APA) based Adaptive Noise Canceller is employed to ...
متن کاملReducing Noise Bias in the i-Vector Space for Speaker Recognition
In this paper we develop a simple mathematical model for reducing speaker recognition noise bias in the i-vector space. The method was successfully tested on two different databases covering distinct microphones and background noise scenarios. Substantial reduction in score variability was attained across distinct evaluation conditions which is particularly important in forensic applications. A...

متن کاملAssessment of the Wavelet Transform for Noise Reduction in Simulated PET Images
Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Model Reduction in Diffuse Optical Tomography
We present an efficient method for the reduction of model equations in the linearized diffuse optical tomography (DOT) problem. We first implement the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator and Tikhonov regularization, which are based on applying preconditioners to linear perturbation equations. For model reduction, the precondition is split into two parts: the principal components are consid...
