Maximum a posteriori Estimation of Noise from Non-Acoustic Reference Signals in Very Low Signal-to-Noise Ratio Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines whether non-acoustic noise reference signals can provide accurate estimates of noise at very low signalto-noise ratios (SNRs) where conventional estimation methods are less effective. The environment chosen for the investigation is Formula 1 motor racing where SNRs are as low as -15dB and the non-acoustic reference signals are engine speed, road speed and throttle measurements. Noise is found to relate closely to these reference signals and a maximum a posteriori method (MAP) is proposed to estimate airflow and tyre noise from these parameters. Objective tests show MAP estimation to be more accurate than a range of conventional noise estimation methods. Subjective listening tests then compare speech enhancement using the proposed MAP estimation to conventional methods with the former found to give significantly higher speech quality.

Acoustic correlated sources direction finding in the presence of unknown spatial correlation noise
In this paper, a new method is proposed for DOA estimation of correlated acoustic signals, in the presence of unknown spatial correlation noise. By generating a matrix from the signal subspace with the Hankel-SVD method, the correlated resource information is extracted from each eigen-vector. Then a joint-diagonalization structure is constructed of the signal subspace and basis it, independent...

متن کاملA New Shearlet Framework for Image Denoising
Traditional noise removal methods like Non-Local Means create spurious boundaries inside regular zones. Visushrink removes too many coefficients and yields recovered images that are overly smoothed. In Bayesshrink method, sharp features are preserved. However, PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is considerably low. BLS-GSM generates some discontinuous information during the course of denoising a...
