Estimation of the Ideal Binary Mask Using Directional Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ideal binary mask is often seen as a goal for time-frequency masking algorithms trying to increase speech intelligibility, but the required availability of the unmixed signals makes it difficult to calculate the ideal binary mask in any real-life applications. In this paper we derive the theory and the requirements to enable calculations of the ideal binary mask using a directional system without the availability of the unmixed signals. The proposed method has a low complexity and is verified using computer simulation in both ideal and non-ideal setups showing promising results.

متن کاملAsr-driven Binary Mask Estimation for Robust Automatic Speech Recognition
Additive noise has long been an issue for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. One approach to noise robustness is the removal of noise information through segregation by binary time-frequency masks; each time-frequency unit in a spectro-temporal representation of the speech signal is labeled either noise-dominant or signal-dominant. The noise-dominant units are masked and their e...

In this paper, we attempt to generalize the ideal binary mask (IBM) estimation to the ideal ratio mask (IRM) estimation. Under binary masking, the error in IBM estimation may greatly distort the original speech spectrum. The main purpose of this paper is using ratio mask to smooth this negative impact. Since the key issue is the noise tracking, we firstly use exponential distributions to model ...
