چکیده

The traditional Bayesian estimator of short-time spectral amplitude is based on the minimization of the squared-error cost function under the common Gaussian probability density function (pdf). The Gaussian distribution, however, is not the optimal probability distribution. To overcome this phenomenon, we considered to replace the traditional distribution hypothesis of spectral amplitude of speech in this paper. More precisely, we proposed a β -order perceptive Bayesian spectral amplitude estimator which incorporated the assumption of Super-Gaussian chi-distributed spectral amplitude. The new weighting function incorporated the perceptive property as well as the different importance of the spectral valley and peak. Experiments showed that the proposed estimator can achieve a more significant noise reduction and yield a better spectral estimation over the most of latest enhancement algorithms.

Speech enhancement using Bayesian estimators of the perceptually-motivated short-time spectral amplitude (STSA) with Chi speech priors

In this paper, the authors propose new perceptually-motivated Weighted Euclidean (WE) and Weighted Cosh (WCOSH) estimators that utilize more appropriate Chi statistical models for the speech prior with Gaussian statistical models for the noise likelihood. Whereas the perceptually-motivated WE and WCOSH cost functions emphasized spectral valleys rather than spectral peaks (formants) and indirect...

A Model-Based Spectral Envelope Wiener Filter for Perceptually Motivated Speech Enhancement

In this work, we present a model-based Wiener filter whose frequency response is optimized in the dimensionally reduced logMel domain. That is achieved by making use of a reasonably novel speech feature enhancement approach that has originally been developed in the area of speech recognition. Its combination with Wiener filtering is motivated by the fact that signal reconstruction from log-Mel ...

Weighted Log-spectral Amplitude Estimation with Generalized Gamma Distribution under Speech Presence Probability

In this paper, we propose a speech enhancement approach. The approach is based on deriving weighted log-spectral amplitude estimator that exploits the generalized Gamma distributed speech priors under speech presence probability. The log-spectral amplitude estimator is weighted by psychoacoustically motivated speech distortion measure to take advantage of the perceptual interpretation. The expe...

Speech Enhancement Using Beta-order Mmse Spectral Amplitude Estimator with Laplacian Prior

This report addresses the problem of speech enhancement employing the Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) of β-order Short Time Spectral Amplitude (STSA). We present an analytical solution for β-order MMSE estimator where Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) coefficients of (clean) speech are modeled by Laplacian distributions. Using some approximations for the joint probability density function and t...

Distributed multichannel speech enhancement based on perceptually-motivated Bayesian estimators of the spectral amplitude

In this study, the authors propose multichannel weighted Euclidean (WE) and weighted cosh (WCOSH) cost function estimators for speech enhancement in the distributed microphone scenario. The goal of the work is to illustrate the advantages of utilising additional microphones and modified cost functions for improving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and segmental SNR (SSNR) along with log-likelihood r...
