A Soft Decision-Based Speech Enhancement Using Acoustic Noise Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this letter, we present a speech enhancement technique based on the ambient noise classification incorporating the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The principal parameters of the statistical model-based speech enhancement algorithm such as the weighting parameter in the decision-directed (DD) method and the long-term smoothing parameter of the noise estimation, are chosen as different values according to the classified contexts to ensure best performance for each noise. For the real-time environment awareness, the noise classification is performed on a frame-by-frame basis using the GMM with the soft decision framework. The speech absence probability (SAP) is used in detecting the speech absence periods and updating the likelihood of the GMM.

متن کاملA soft decision MMSE amplitude estimator as a noise preprocessor to speech coder s using a glottal sensor
A soft-decision Ephraim-Malah suppression rule based speech enhancement algorithm is proposed for intelligibility enhancement in parametric speech coders. A glottal sensor is used to improve the intelligibility of a baseline system that uses only the acoustic microphone. The objective measure test shows that the proposed system decreases the spectral distortion by 2-3 dB for most phonetic class...

متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Sparse Code Shrinkage and Global Soft Decision
This paper relates to a method of enhancing speech quality by eliminating noise in speech presence intervals as well as in speech absence intervals based on speech absence probability. To determine the speech presence and absence intervals, we utilize the global soft decision. This decision makes the estimated statistical parameters of signal density models more reliable. Based on these paramet...
