Kalman filtering of colored noise for speech enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for applying Kalman filtering to speechsignals corrupted by colored noise is presented. Both speech and colored noise are modeled as autoregressive (AR) processesusing speechand silence regions determined by an automatic end-point detector. Due to the non-stationary nature of the speech signal, non-stationary Kalman filter is used. Experiments indicate that non-stationary Kalman filtering outperforms the stationary case, the average SNR improvement increasing from 0.53 dB to 2.3 dB. Even better results are obtained if noise is considered also non-stationary, in addition to being colored, achieving an average of 7.14 dB SNR improvement.

Neural Speech Enhancement Using Dual Extended Kalman Filtering
The removal of noise from speech signals has applications ranging from speech enhancement for cellular communications, to front ends for speech recognition systems. Spectral techniques are commonly used in these applications, but frequently result in audible distortion of the signal. A nonlinear time-domain method called dual extended Kalman filtering (DEKF) is presented that demonstrates signi...
متن کاملRobust Adaptive Kalman Filter for Speech Signal Recovery in Colored Noise
This paper deals with the problem of speech enhancement when a corrupted speech signal with an additive colored noise is the only information available for processing. Kalman filtering is known as an effective speech enhancement technique, in which speech signal is usually modeled as autoregressive (AR) process and represented in the state-space domain. In the above context, all the Kalman filt...

متن کاملA Kalman Filter with a Perceptual Post-filter to Enhance Speech Degraded by Colored Noise
Speech enhancement algorithms have been employed successfully in many areas such as VoIP, automatic speech recognition and speaker verification. Some of the methods assume that the environmental noise is white noise. However, when used in colored noise environments, those methods will produce a weaker performance. Approaches for colored noise have also been previously proposed, however those pr...
متن کاملSwitching Linear Dynamic Models for Noise Robust In-Car Speech Recognition
Performance of speech recognition systems strongly degrades in the presence of background noise, like the driving noise in the interior of a car. We compare two different Kalman filtering approaches which attempt to improve noise robustness: Switching Linear Dynamic Models (SLDM) and Autoregressive Switching Linear Dynamical Systems (ARSLDS). Unlike previous works which are restricted on consid...
