In-Ear Microphone Hybrid Speech Enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel speech enhancement approach for performing noise reduction in severely disturbed environments. A small microphone for communication purposes is placed inside the external auditory canal to pick up the speech signal originating from the speech production organ. The speech enhancement is achieved by using three different noise reduction methods: High frequencies are attenuated by passive absorbers, low frequency components are attenuated by employing active noise control and finally a broadband noise reduction is achieved by using spectral subtraction.

Objective Speech Quality Estimation of In-Ear Microphone Speech
Speech captured from an in-ear microphone (IEM) under an intra-aural device is beneficial in extremely noisy environments as it maintains a relatively high signal to noise ratio. Due to its limited bandwidth, speech enhancement is required in order to obtain a more natural speech. Consequently, quick and practical measurement of speech quality is important. In this paper, we compare the perform...
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...

Considering the existence of a many speech degradation factors, speech enhancement has become an important topic in the field of speech processing. Beamforming is one of the well-known methods for improving the speech quality that is conventionally applied using regular (classical) microphone arrays. Due to the restrictions in the regular arrangement of microphones, in recent years there has be...

Recently the growing use of cellular and mobile phones, hands free systems, VoIP phones, voice messaging service, call service centers etc. require efficient real time speech enhancement and detection strategies to make them superior over conventional speech com...
متن کاملMultisensory processing for speech enhancement and magnitude-normalized spectra for speech modeling
In this paper, we tackle the problem of speech enhancement from two fronts: speech modeling and multisensory input. We present a new speech model based on statistics of magnitude-normalized complex spectra of speech signals. By performing magnitude normalization, we are able to get rid of huge intraand inter-speaker variation in speech energy and to build a better speech model with a smaller nu...
