The effect of modified filter distribution on an adaptive, sub–band speech enhancement method
نویسندگان
چکیده
An adaptive noise cancellation scheme for speech processing is described, in which adaptive filters operate in frequency–limited sub–bands. Previously the filters had been distributed in a linear fashion in the frequency domain. This work investigates the effects of spacing the filters more in sympathy with the signal power and spectral characteristics. It is found that improvements in signal–to–noise ratio of processed noisy speech signals may be obtained in certain cases when the sub–bands are spaced according to a published cochlear function.

Speech Enhancement by Modified Convex Combination of Fractional Adaptive Filtering
This paper presents new adaptive filtering techniques used in speech enhancement system. Adaptive filtering schemes are subjected to different trade-offs regarding their steady-state misadjustment, speed of convergence, and tracking performance. Fractional Least-Mean-Square (FLMS) is a new adaptive algorithm which has better performance than the conventional LMS algorithm. Normalization of LMS ...

In this paper, two new hybrid sub-band systems are proposed which aim to combine neural network sub-band processing with post-Wiener filtering for adaptive speech-enhancement processing of noisy signals. The proposed hybrid architectures comprise an early auditory-processing modelling inspired Multi-Microphone Sub-band Adaptive (MMSBA) system incorporating neural-network based non-linear sub-ba...

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the noisy speech in the framework of dual-channel speech enhancement. The new method is a hybrid optimization algorithm, which employs the combination of the conventional θ-PSO and the shuffled sub-swarms particle optimization (SSPSO) technique. It is known that the θ-PSO algorithm has better optimization performance than standard PSO al...
متن کاملAdaptive Null-Forming Algorithm with Auditory Sub-bands
This paper presents a modified noise reduction algorithm for speech enhancement based on the scheme of null-forming. A fixed infinite-duration impulse response (IIR) filter is designed to calibrate the mismatch of the microphone pair. To weaken the performance degradation caused by narrow-band effect, the signal is decomposed into several specified sub-bands with auditory characters. This incre...
