Modulation Spectral Transforms - Application to Speech Separation and Modification - Les ATLAS

چکیده

Recent auditory physiological evidence points to a modulation frequency dimension in the auditory cortex. This dimension exists jointly with the tonotopic acoustic frequency dimension. Thus, audition can be considered as a relatively slowly-varying two-dimensional representation, the " modulation spectrum, " where the first dimension is the well-known acoustic frequency and the second dimension is modulation frequency. We have recently developed a fully invertible analysis/synthesis approach for this modulation spectral transform. A general application of this approach is removal or modification of different modulation frequencies in audio or speech signals, which, for example, causes major changes in perceived dynamic character. A specific application of this modification is single-channel multiple-talker separation.

Channel compensation of modulation spectral features

We propose a new channel compensation method for modulation spectral features. We compare our proposed method, subband normalization, with a more traditional method, cepstral mean subtraction (CMS). Experimental results show that subband normalized modulation scale features provide advantages over CMS features. The proposed method is not only robust to slowly varying convolutional noise, but al...

Modulation domain blind source separation for noisy speech mixture

In this paper, we propose a noise-robust blind speech separation (BSS) method by using two microphones. We first use modulation domain real and imaginary spectral subtraction (MRISS) to enhance both magnitude and phase spectra of the speech mixture inputs. We then estimate the direction of arrivals (DOAs) of the speech sources and perform time-acoustic-modulation frequency masking to recover th...

Synchrosqueezing-based Transform and its Application in Seismic Data Analysis

Seismic waves are non-stationary due to its propagation through the earth. Time-frequency transforms are suitable tools for analyzing non-stationary seismic signals. Spectral decomposition can reveal the non-stationary characteristics which cannot be easily observed in the time or frequency representation alone. Various types of spectral decomposition methods have been introduced by some resear...
