in order to the enhancement of the quality of speech corrupted by additive noise, a speech enhancement method has been put forward based on the combination of spectral subtraction and binary masking. spectral subtraction is a powerful method for removing noise from speech and binary masking provides essential elements to be used in monaural speech segregation. in the proposed combined method, f...

This paper proposes an improved voice activity detection (VAD) algorithm using wavelet and support vector machine (SVM) for European Telecommunication Standards Institution (ETSI) adaptive multi-rate (AMR) narrow-band (NB) and wide-band (WB) speech codecs. First, based on the wavelet transform, the original IIR filter bank and pitch/tone detector are implemented, respectively, via the wavelet f...

Area consumption is one of the most important design constrains in the development of compact digital systems. Several authors have proposed making compact Cochlear Implant processors using Gamma-tone filter banks. These model aspects of the cochlea spectral filtering. A good area-efficient design of the Gamma-tone Filter Bank could reduce the amount of circuitry allowing patients to wear these...

Cq-profiles are 12-dimensional vectors, each component referring to a pitch class. They can be employed to represent keys. Cq-profiles are calculated with the constant Q filter bank [2]. They have the following advantages: (i) They correspond to probe tone ratings. (ii) Calculation is possible in real-time. (iii) Stability is obtained with respect to sound quality. (iv) They are transposable. C...

Interpreting the need of high quality wideband speech coding some standardization events have been conducted. There are various methods and standard for speech coding. these paper present a new technique of speech coding. here interpretation is done with the help of gamma tone filter bank. The o/p of the system is analyzed and process to get the respective train of pulses. the positioning and a...

An excitation/filter system of Inharmonic sound synthesis signal is presented with an application to piano, a stiff string instrument. Specific features of the piano string important in wave propagation, dispersion due to stiffness, frequency dependent losses and presence of phantom partials are included in the proposed model. The modified narrow bandpass filter is used as a basic building bloc...

This paper proposes a new method for rejecting the Continuous Wave Interferences (CWI) in the Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The proposed filter is made by cascading an adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and a Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) based filter. Although adaptive FIR filters are easy to implement and have a linear phase, they create self-noise in the rejection of...

A new filter bank approach for speaker recognition front-end is proposed. The conventional mel-scaled filter bank is replaced with a speaker-discriminative filter bank. Filter bank is selected from a library in adaptive basis, based on the broad phoneme class of the input frame. Each phoneme class is associated with its own filter bank. Each filter bank is designed in a way that emphasizes disc...

Discrete multi tone (DMT) uses an inverse discrete fourier transform (IDFT) to modulate data on the carriers. The high side lobes of the IDFT filter bank can lead to spurious emissions (egress) in unauthorised frequency bands. Applying a window function within the DMT symbol alleviates this, but introduces distortions that are generally not easy to compensate for. In this paper a special class ...
