چکیده

Recognition of distant-talking speech is indispensable for self-moving robots or tele-conference systems. However, background noise and room reverberations seriously degrade the sound capture quality in real acoustic environments. A microphone array is an ideal candidate as an effective method for capturing distant-talking speech. AMNOR (Adaptive Microphone-array for NOise Reduction) was proposed an adaptive beamformer for capturing the desired distant signals in noisy environments by Kaneda et al. Although AMNOR has proven itself effective, it could be further improved if we knew the spectrum characteristics of desired distant signals in advance. Therefore, in this paper we regard speech as a desired distant signal and design AMNOR based on the average speech spectrum for distant-talking speech capture and recognition. As a result of evaluation experiments in real acoustic environments, we could confirm that the ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) performance was improved 5 ∼ 10% by AMNOR based on average speech spectrum in noisy environments.

Pitch Extraction of Speec Eigen-based Subspa

In this paper, we propose a novel method for detecting the fundamental frequencies of speech signals contaminated by noise. The proposed method exploits an eigen-based subspace principle to estimate unknown parameters of the noisy speech signal. In the proposed method, the estimated parameters are used for recovering the spectrum of the signal buried in noise, and then the restored spectrum is ...

Model-based Noisy Speech Recognition w Estimated by Noise Adaptive Speec

We have proposed earlier a noise adaptive speech recognition approach for recognizing speech corrupted by nonstationary noise and channel distortion. In this paper, we extend this approach. Instead of maximum likelihood estimation of environment parameters (as done in our previous work), the present method estimates environment parameters within the Bayesian framework that is capable of incorpo...

Adaptive Signal Detection in Auto-Regressive Interference with Gaussian Spectrum

A detector for the case of a radar target with known Doppler and unknown complex amplitude in complex Gaussian noise with unknown parameters has been derived. The detector assumes that the noise is an Auto-Regressive (AR) process with Gaussian autocorrelation function which is a suitable model for ground clutter in most scenarios involving airborne radars. The detector estimates the unknown...

Adaptive Optimum Notch Filter for Periodic Noise Reduction in Digital Images

Periodic noises are unwished and spurious signals that create repetitive pattern on images and decreased the visual quality. Firstly, this paper investigates various methods for reducing the effects of the periodic noise in digital images. Then an adaptive optimum notch filter is proposed. In the proposed method, the regions of noise frequencies are determined by analyzing the spectral of noisy...
