On Noise Tracking for Noise Floor Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
Various speech enhancement techniques (e.g. noise suppression, dereverberation) rely on the knowledge of the statistics of the clean signal and the noise process. In practice, however, these statistics are not explicitly available, and the overall enhancement accuracy critically depends on the estimation quality of the unknown statistics. With this respect, subspace based approaches have shown to allow for reduced estimation delay and perform a good tracking vs. final misadjustment tradeoff [3, 4]. For an accurate noise non-stationarity tracking, these schemes have the challenge to estimate the correlation matrix of the observed signal from a limited number of samples. In this paper, we investigate the effect of the covariance estimation artifacts on the noise PSD tracking. We show that the estimation downsides could be alleviated using an appropriate selection scheme.

Bias considerations for minimum subspace noise tracking
Speech enhancement schemes rely generally on the knowledge of the noise power spectral density. The estimation of these statistics is particularly a critical issue and a challenging problem under non-stationary noise conditions. With this respect, subspace based approaches have shown to allow for reduced estimation delay and perform a good tracking vs. final misadjustment tradeoff [2, 3]. One k...
متن کاملRobust noise estimation using minimum correction with harmonicity control
In this paper a new noise spectrum estimation algorithm is described for single-channel acoustic noise suppression systems. To achieve fast convergence during abrupt change of noise floor, the proposed algorithm uses a minimum correction module to adjust an adaptive noise estimator. The minimum search duration is controlled by a harmonicity module for improved noise tracking under continuous vo...

Accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. Hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. As a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: MIT, direct estimation and indirect estimation. These approaches are used as controllers to track refe...

متن کاملDesign of robust carrier tracking systems in high dynamic and high noise conditions, with emphasis on neuro-fuzzy controller
The robust carrier tracking is defined as the ability of a receiver to determine the phase and frequency of the input carrier signal in unusual conditions such as signal loss, input signal fading, high receiver dynamic, or other destructive effects of propagation. An implementation of tight tracking can be understood in terms of adopting a very narrow loop bandwidth that contradict with the req...
