چکیده
A speech denoising technique based on subband noise estimation and a perceptual modification of Wiener filtering is proposed. The noisy speech is first decomposed into critical band signals by an auditory filterbank and the denoising is carried out on the subband signals. The time varying subband noise variance required for denoising is estimated by tracking the minimum variance of the subband noisy signal. Auditory masking is applied to calculate the optimum denoising gain using a Wiener filtering approach to minimize the perceived speech distortion. This denoising technique is suitable for coloured and nonstationary noise environments. It gives natural sounding speech with a very low level of musical noise.

The present paper introduces a cooperating framework between Perceptual Enhancement (PE) and Minimum Mean Square Error Log-Spectral Amplitude Estimation (MMSE-LSA). The link between the two aforementioned spectral modification algorithms is a Speech Absence Probability (SAP) responsible for weighting the fusion of both spectral gain modification algorithms for each spectral bin. It has been not...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Using Adaptive Kalman Filter Combined With Perceptual Weighting Filter
The speech enhancement is one of the important techniques used to improve the quality of a speech signal i.e. degraded by noise. Speech enhancement using conventional kalman filter require calculating the parameters of AR (auto-regressive) model, and performing a lot of matrix operations, which is non-adaptive. In this paper the proposed method i.e. adaptive kalman filter combined with perceptu...

This paper analyzes the performance of various single channel speech enhancement systems when they are applied to automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems as a preprocessor. Until now the researches on speech enhancement algorithms have focused on improving the perceptual quality of speech signal. However, it has not been verified yet whether the improvements of the perceptual quality also in...
متن کاملA New Speech Enhancement Technique to Reduce Residual Noise Using Perceptual Constrained Spectral Weighted Factors
This paper deals with residual musical noise which results from the perceptual speech enhancement type algorithms and especially using wiener filtering approach. Perceptual speech enhancement techniques perform better than the non perceptual techniques, most of them still return a trouble residual musical noise. This is due to that only noise above the noise masking threshold (NMT) is filtered ...
متن کاملVoice enhancement of male speakers with laryngeal neoplasm
In this paper an approach is presented which is aimed to enhance disordered male voices. This approach aims at highpitched voices with a severe degree of hoarseness. The goal of the study is to determine whether pitch modification combined with periodicity enhancement can improve the perceived quality of a disordered speech utterance. Signal manipulation is done pitch-synchronously, so, firstly...
