Robust Noise Estimation Applied to Different Speech Estimators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a robust noise estimation for speech enhancement algorithms. The robust noise estimation based on a modified minima controlled recursive averaging noise estimator was applied to different speech estimators. The investigated speech estimators were spectral substraction (SS), log spectral amplitude speech estimator (LSA) and optimally modified log spectral amplitude estimator (OM-LSA). The performance of the different algorithms were measured both by the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) and recognition accuracy of an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).

Improving the performance of MFCC for Persian robust speech recognition
The Mel Frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. In this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of MFCC vector estimated through following steps. First, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...
متن کاملA new method for speech denoising and robust speech recognition using probabilistic models for clean speech and for noise
We present a new method for speech denoising and robust speech recognition. Using the framework of probabilistic models allows us to integrate detailed speech models and models of realistic non-stationary noise signals in a principled manner. The framework transforms the denoising problem into a problem of Bayes-optimal signal estimation, producing minimum mean square error estimators of desire...

The aim of this paper is robust identification of smart foam, as an electroacoustic transducer, considering unmodeled dynamics due to nonlinearities in behaviour at low frequencies and measurement noise at high frequencies as existent uncertainties. Set membership estimation combined with model error modelling technique is used where the approach is based on worst case scenario with unknown but...
متن کاملA Two-Phase Robust Estimation of Process Dispersion Using M-estimator
Parameter estimation is the first step in constructing any control chart. Most estimators of mean and dispersion are sensitive to the presence of outliers. The data may be contaminated by outliers either locally or globally. The exciting robust estimators deal only with global contamination. In this paper a robust estimator for dispersion is proposed to reduce the effect of local contamination ...

Some Speech Enhancement algorith~s based on t.he iterative Wiener filtering Method due to L1m-Oppenhe~m [2] are presented. In the original Lim-Oppenhei~ algorithm, speech AR estimation is carried out u.smg classic second-order analysis, but our algorithms consider a more robust AR modelling. Two different str~tegies of spe~ch AR estimation are presented and both estimators are trymg to see as l...
