Acoustic Spectral Estimation using Higher Order Statistics

چکیده
Assuming an auto regressive (AR) lter model driven by a non-Gaussian white noise we formulate a general parameter estimation problem. A maximum likelihood solution gives an AR estimate of the l-ter and the probability distribution function parameters for non-Gaussian input. The proposed method is optimal in the information theoretic sense, giving the most probable model for the source and lter under the higher order statistics constrains of the observed signal. Analysis of human singing voices and musical instruments is presented and its acoustic interpretation is discussed.

Spectral subtraction in noisy environments applied to speaker adaptation based on HMM sufficient statistics
Noise and speaker adaptation techniques are essential to realize robust speech recognition in real noisy environments . In this paper, we applied spectral subtraction to an unsupervised speaker adaptation algorithm in noisy environments. The adaptation algorithm consists of the following five steps. (1) Spectral subtraction is carried out for noise added database. (2) Noise matched acoustic mod...
متن کاملApplication of higher-order spectra for signal processing in electrical power engineering
During recent years higher order statistics (HOS) have found a wide applicability in many diverse fields, e.g.: biomedicine, harmonic retrieval and adaptive filtering. In power spectrum estimation, the signal under consideration is processed in such a way, that the distribution of power among its frequency is estimated and phase relations between the frequency components are suppressed. Higher ...
متن کاملComparison of Entropy and Mean Square Error Criteria in Adaptive System Training Using Higher Order Statistics
The error-entropy-minimization approach in adaptive system training is addressed in this paper. The effect of Parzen windowing on the location of the global minimum of entropy has been investigated. An analytical proof that shows the global minimum of the entropy is a local minimum, possibly the global minimum, of the nonparametrically estimated entropy using Parzen windowing with Gaussian kern...
متن کاملHigher-order accurate, positive semi-definite estimation of large-sample covariance and spectral density matrices
A new class of large-sample covariance and spectral density matrix estimators is proposed based on the notion of flat-top kernels. The new estimators are shown to be higher-order accurate when higher-order accuracy is possible. A discussion on kernel choice is presented as well as a supporting finite-sample simulation. The problem of spectral estimation under a potential lack of finite fourth m...
متن کاملMethods of Data Analysis Correlation functions, spectral estimation, filtering
Characterizing spatio-temporal properties of a signal. In the analysis of experimental signals, either scalar time series or spatio-temporal processes, oneand two-point statistics provide the basic description of the system that is usually sufficiently amenable to reliable estimation from data. Often (but as we will see shortly, not always), physically interesting phenomena – including collecti...
