Noisy speech enhancement using discrete cosine transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper illustrates the advantages of using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) as compared to the standard Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) for the purpose of removing noise embedded in a speech signal. The derivation of the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) ®lter based on the statistical modelling of the DCT coecients is shown. Also shown is the derivation of an over-attenuation factor based on the fact that speech energy is not always present in the noisy signal at all times or in all coecients. This over-attenuation factor is useful in suppressing any musical residual noise which may be present. The proposed methods are evaluated against the noise reduction ®lter proposed by Y. Ephraim and D. Malah (1984), using both Gaussian distributed white noise as well as recorded fan noise, with favourable results. Ó 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Second order statistics spectrum estimation method for robust speech recognition
A second order statistics spectrum estimation (SOSSE) method for speech enhancement is presented. DFT amplitude spectral components of noisy signal are assumed to be random values. Upon first and second order statistic values estimation of noise-only spectrum, an enhancement of noisy signal spectrum was performed. As a reference, a fast discrete cosine transform based signal subspace (FDCTSS) m...
متن کاملSpeech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...

This paper introduces a new speech enhancement method using soft thresholding with a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) based hybrid algorithm. Soft thresholding for DCT-enhancement is a powerful method for enhancing the noisy speech signal in a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios (S Rs). However, due to the thresholding criteria a significant amount of nois...
متن کاملA Hybrid Transformation and Filtering Approach for Speech Enhancement with Time Domain Pitch Synchronous Overlap-add
The main goal of Speech enhancement is to enhance the performance of speech communication systems in noisy environments. The problem of enhancing speech which is corrupted by noise is very large, although a lot of techniques have been introduced by the researchers over the past years. This problem is more severe when there is no additional information on the nature of noise degradation is avail...
