Constrained Multichannel Speech Dereverberation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a multi-channel speech dereverberation approach based on cross-channel cancellation and spectrogram decomposition. The reverberation is modeled as a convolution operation in the spectrogram magnitude domain. Using the Itakura divergence (I-divergence), we decompose reverberant spectrogram into clean spectrogram convolved with a deconvolution filter. The speech spectrogram is constrained and regularized by non-negativity and sparsity, respectively, while the deconvolution filter is constrained by non-negativity and cross-channel cancellation. Spectrogram decomposition of individual channels and cross-channel cancellation are jointly optimized by a multiplicative algorithm to achieve multi-channel speech dereverberation. We confirm through experiment that the proposed multi-channel method outperforms the related other single\multi-channel methods.

Relaxed Multichannel Least Squares with Constrained Initial Taps for Multichannel Dereverberation
This paper presents a novel algorithm for robust multichannel dereverberation in the presence of system identification errors with the specific aim of avoiding colouration of the equalized signal. Our proposed algorithm is based upon the technique of channel shortening, which targets only the late taps of the room impulse response. Within the framework of the relaxed multichannel least squares ...
متن کاملA General Framework for Incorporating Time-Frequency Domain Sparsity in Multichannel Speech Dereverberation
Blind multichannel speech dereverberation methods based on multichannel linear prediction (MCLP) estimate the dereverberated speech component without any knowledge of the room acoustics by estimating and subtracting the undesired reverberant component from the reference microphone signal. In this paper we present a general framework for incorporating sparsity in the time-frequency domain into M...
متن کاملEvaluation of Speech Dereverberation Algorithms Using the Mardy Database
Dereverberation is a growing area of research with many new algorithms appearing in the literature. However, there are still no unanimously accepted tools for evaluation of these algorithms. In this paper, we introduce the Multichannel Acoustic Reverberation Database at York (MARDY) containing real measured multichannel room impulse responses. We demonstrate its use for the evaluation of dereve...
متن کاملIterated Delay and Predict Equalization for Blind Speech Dereverberation
In this paper, we consider the blind multichannel dereverberation problem for a single source. The multichannel reverberation impulse response is assumed to be stationary enough to allow estimation of the correlations it induces from the received signals. It is well-known that a single-input multi-output (SIMO) filter can be equalized blindly by applying multichannel linear prediction (LP) to i...

A novel Multi-channel Iterative Dereverberation (MID) algorithm based on Codebook Constrained Iterative Multi-channel Wiener Filter (CCIMWF) is proposed. We extend the classical iterative wiener filter (IWF) to the multi-channel dereverberation case. The late reverberations are estimated using Longterm Multi-step Linear Prediction (LTMLP). This estimate is used in CCIMWF framework through a dou...
