Binary Mask Estimation for Improved Speech Intelligibility in Reverberant Environments
A blind (non-ideal) time-frequency (T-F) masking technique is proposed for suppressing reverberation. A binary mask is estimated at each T-F unit by extracting a single variance-based feature from the reverberant signal and comparing its value against an adaptive threshold. The performance of the estimated binary mask is evaluated using intelligibility listening tests with hearing impaired list...
متن کاملBinary Mask Estimation Strategies for Constrained Imputation-Based Speech Enhancement
In recent years, speech enhancement by analysis-resynthesis has emerged as an alternative to conventional noise filtering approaches. Analysis-resynthesis replaces noisy speech with a signal that has been reconstructed from a clean speech model. It can deliver high-quality signals with no residual noise, but at the expense of losing information from the original signal that is not well-represen...
متن کاملAsr-driven Binary Mask Estimation for Robust Automatic Speech Recognition
Additive noise has long been an issue for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. One approach to noise robustness is the removal of noise information through segregation by binary time-frequency masks; each time-frequency unit in a spectro-temporal representation of the speech signal is labeled either noise-dominant or signal-dominant. The noise-dominant units are masked and their e...
متن کاملBinary mask estimation based on frequency modulations
In this paper, a binary mask estimation algorithm is proposed based on modulations of speech. A multi-resolution spectrotemporal analytical auditory model is utilized to extract modulation features to estimate the binary mask, which is often used in speech segregation applications. The proposed method estimates noise from the beginning of each test sentence, a common approach seen in many conve...
متن کاملEigenvector-Based Speech Mask Estimation Using Logistic Regression
In this paper, we use a logistic regression to learn a speech mask from the dominant eigenvector of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) matrix of a multi-channel speech signal corrupted by ambient noise. We employ this speech mask to construct the Generalized Eigenvalue (GEV) beamformer and a Wiener postfilter. Further, we extend the beamformer to compensate for speech distortions. We do not make ...
