Speech enhancement in a 2-dimensional area based on power spectrum estimation of multiple areas with investigation of existence of active sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microphone array that emphasizes sound sources located in a particular 2-dimensional area is described. We previously developed a method that estimates the power spectra of target and noise sounds using multiple fixed beamformings. However, that method requires the areas where the noise sources are located to be restricted. We describe the principle of this limitation then propose a procedure that investigates the possibility of the existence of a sound source in a target area and other areas beforehand to reduce the number of unknown power spectra to be estimated.

Improving Power Spectra Estimation in 2-Dimensional Areas Using Number of Active Sound Sources
An improvement of estimating sound power spectra located in a particular 2-dimensional area is proposed. We previously proposed a conventional method that estimates sound power spectra using multiple fixed beamformings in order to emphasize speech located in a particular 2-dimensional area. However, the method has one drawback that the number of areas where the active sound sources are located ...
متن کاملDetermination of height of urban buildings based on non-parametric estimation of signal spectrum in SAR data tomography
Nowadays, the TomoSAR technique has been able to overcome the limitations of radar interferometry techniques in separating multiple scatterers of pixels. By extending the principles of virtual aperture in the elevation direction, these techniques pay much attention in the analysis of urban challenging areas. Despite the expectation of interference of the distribution of buildings with different...

State estimation in the energy management center of active distribution networks has attracted many attentions. Considering an increase in complexity and real-time management of active distribution networks and knowing the network information at each time instant are necessary. This article presents a two-step multi-area state estimation method in balanced active distribution networks. The prop...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...
متن کاملSpeech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...
