Two stage iterative Wiener filtering for speech enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We formulate a two-stage Iterative Wiener filtering (IWF) approach to speech enhancement, bettering the performance of constrained IWF, reported in literature. The codebook constrained IWF (CCIWF) has been shown to be effective in achieving convergence of IWF in the presence of both stationary and non-stationary noise. To this, we include a second stage of unconstrained IWF and show that the speech enhancement performance can be improved in terms of average segmental SNR (SSNR), Itakura-Saito (IS) distance and Linear Prediction Co-efficients (LPC) parameter coincidence. We also explore the tradeoff between the number of CCIWF iterations and the second stage IWF iterations.

Speech Enhancement Using Gaussian Mixture Models, Explicit Bayesian Estimation and Wiener Filtering
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) of power spectral densities of speech and noise are used with explicit Bayesian estimations in Wiener filtering of noisy speech. No assumption is made on the nature or stationarity of the noise. No voice activity detection (VAD) or any other means is employed to estimate the input SNR. The GMM mean vectors are used to form sets of over-determined system of equatio...

متن کاملEnhancement of binaural speech using codebook constrained iterative binaural wiener filter
A clean speech VQ codebook has been shown to be effective in providing intraframe constraints and hence better convergence of the iterative Wiener filtering scheme for single channel speech enhancement. Here we present an extension of the single channel CCIWF scheme to binaural speech input by incorporating a speech distortion weighted multi-channel Wiener filter. The new algorithm shows consid...

متن کاملRobust estimation of speech in noisy backgrounds based on aspects of the auditory process.
A new approach to speech enhancement is proposed where constraints based on aspects of the auditory process augment an iterative enhancement framework. The basic enhancement framework is based on a previously developed dual-channel scenario using a two-step iterative Wiener filtering algorithm. Constraints across broad speech sections and over iterations are then experimentally developed on a n...
