Multi-microphone Noise Reduction by Post-filter and Superdirective Beamformer
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution a new noise reduction scheme for multi-microphone speech enhancement, called Adaptive Post-filter Extension for Superdirective beamformers (APES), will be introduced, The combination of the superdirective beamformer and the adaptive post-filter has a great potential to suppress diffuse noise. It also outperforms all related algorithms in terms of noise reduction, without increasing signal cancellation. Additionally, a new and easy-to-implement estimator of the post-filter transfer function will be given.

A Stereo Input-output Superdir for Dual Channel Nois
This contribution presents a stereo input-output beamformer for dual channel noise reduction. The computationally very efficient beamformer adapts superdirective filter design techniques to binaural input signals to optimally enhance signals from a given spatial direction. The beamformer outputs a stereo enhanced signal and thus preserves the spatial impression. Experiments in a real environmen...
متن کاملAn Alternative Implementation of the Superdirective Beamformer
In this contribution we introduce a new implementation of superdirective beamformers. The new structure has the advantage of reduced computational complexity. This advantage is due to a GSClike (Generalized Sidelobe Canceller) scheme. Unlike the conventional GSC, the filters in the sidelobe cancelling path are fixed and can be computed in advance by using the Wiener solution. The new structure ...
متن کاملA Multi-Microphone Post-Filtering Approach for Speech Enhancement
Multi-microphone post-filtering allows additional noise reduction at a beamformer output. Existing techniques are either restricted to classical delay-andsum beamformers, or are based on single-channel speech enhancement algorithms that are inefficient at attenuating transient noise. In this paper, we introduce a multimicrophone post-filtering approach, applicable to adaptive beamformer, that d...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Near-field Superdirectivity with an Adaptive Sidelobe Canceler and Post-filter
This paper describes a new microphone array technique and investigates its effectiveness for speech enhancement. A system structure consisting of a fixed near-field superdirective beamformer and an adaptive sidelobe canceling path is proposed (NFSD-ASC). The effect of adding a post-filter is also examined. The system is evaluated in terms of speech quality measures in the context of a computer ...
متن کاملNear-field Adaptive Beamformer for Robust Speech Recognition
This paper investigates a new microphone array processing technique specifically for the purpose of speech enhancement and recognition. The main objective of the proposed technique is to improve the low frequency directivity of a conventional adaptive beamformer, as low frequency performance is critical in speech processing applications. The proposed technique, termed near-field adaptive beamfo...
