Single-channel noise reduction using optimal rectangular filtering matrices.

چکیده
This paper studies the problem of single-channel noise reduction in the time domain and presents a block-based approach where a vector of the desired speech signal is recovered by filtering a frame of the noisy signal with a rectangular filtering matrix. With this formulation, the noise reduction problem becomes one of estimating an optimal filtering matrix. To achieve such estimation, a method is introduced to decompose a frame of the clean speech signal into two orthogonal components: One correlated and the other uncorrelated with the current desired speech vector to be estimated. Different optimization cost functions are then formulated from which non-causal optimal filtering matrices are derived. The relationships among these optimal filtering matrices are discussed. In comparison with the classical sample-based technique that uses only forward prediction, the block-based method presented in this paper exploits both the forward and backward prediction as well as the temporal interpolation and, therefore, can improve the noise reduction performance by fully taking advantage of the speech property of self correlation. There is also a side advantage of this block-based method as compared to the sample-based technique, i.e., it is computationally more efficient and, as a result, more suitable for practical implementation.

Single-channel noise reduction via semi-orthogonal transformations and reduced-rank filtering
This paper investigates the problem of single-channel noise reduction in the time domain. The objective is to find a lower dimensional filter that can yield a noise reduction performance as close as possible to or even better than that obtained by the full-rank solution. This is achieved in three steps. First, we transform the observation signal vector sequence, through a semi-orthogonal matrix...
متن کاملSingle-channel noise reduction using unified joint diagonalization and optimal filtering
In this paper, the important problem of single-channel noise reduction is treated from a new perspective. The problem is posed as a filtering problem based on joint diagonalization of the covariance matrices of the desired and noise signals. More specifically, the eigenvectors from the joint diagonalization corresponding to the least significant eigenvalues are used to form a filter, which effe...
متن کاملAn Asymptotic Analysis of the MIMO BC under Linear Filtering
We investigate the MIMO broadcast channel in the high SNR regime when linear filtering is applied instead of dirty paper coding. Using a user-wise rate duality where the streams of every single user are not treated as self-interference as in the hitherto existing stream-wise rate dualities for linear filtering, we solve the weighted sum rate maximization problem of the broadcast channel in the ...
متن کاملNoise reduction using hybrid noise estimation technique and post-filtering
In this paper, a novel noise reduction method using hybrid noise estimation technique and post-filtering is proposed to suppress both localized and non-localized noise components which can not be dealt with by the traditional methods [2][3][4]. To do this, a hybrid noise estimation approach is proposed by combining our previously constructed multichannel noise estimation approach and a single-c...

This paper describes two schemes for combining acoustic echo and noise reduction using a GSVD-based optimal filtering technique. The GSVD-based filtering technique is a signal enhancement technique which has recently been proposed for noise reduction in multi-microphone speech signals. In many speech communication applications however also a far-end echo source is present. Therefore a combined ...
