An Alternative Implementation of the Superdirective Beamformer
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution we introduce a new implementation of superdirective beamformers. The new structure has the advantage of reduced computational complexity. This advantage is due to a GSClike (Generalized Sidelobe Canceller) scheme. Unlike the conventional GSC, the filters in the sidelobe cancelling path are fixed and can be computed in advance by using the Wiener solution. The new structure yields exactly the same noise reduction performance as the superdirective beamformer does.

Dual-Channel Speech Enhancement by Superdirective Beamforming
In this contribution, a dual-channel input-output speech enhancement system is introduced. The proposed algorithm is an adaptation of the well-known superdirective beamformer including postfiltering to the binaural application. In contrast to conventional beamformer processing, the proposed system outputs enhanced stereo signals while preserving the important interaural amplitude and phase diff...
متن کاملMulti-microphone Noise Reduction by Post-filter and Superdirective Beamformer
In this contribution a new noise reduction scheme for multi-microphone speech enhancement, called Adaptive Post-filter Extension for Superdirective beamformers (APES), will be introduced, The combination of the superdirective beamformer and the adaptive post-filter has a great potential to suppress diffuse noise. It also outperforms all related algorithms in terms of noise reduction, without in...
متن کاملA Stereo Input-output Superdir for Dual Channel Nois
This contribution presents a stereo input-output beamformer for dual channel noise reduction. The computationally very efficient beamformer adapts superdirective filter design techniques to binaural input signals to optimally enhance signals from a given spatial direction. The beamformer outputs a stereo enhanced signal and thus preserves the spatial impression. Experiments in a real environmen...
متن کاملImproving the Separation of Concurrent Speech through Residual Echo Suppression
This paper investigates the use of acoustic echo cancellation components in a speech separation system. The basic system uses a classical beamformer architecture, which separates the speech from different speakers based on spatial diversity. In order to get a better suppression of concurrent speech, we add a residual echo suppression stage, which has originally been developed in the area of aco...
متن کاملParallel Beamformation Method to Enhance Ultrasound Images
Contrast resolution and detail resolution are two important parameters in ultrasound imaging. This paper presents a new method to enhance these parameters, simultaneously. A parallel auxiliary beamformer has been employed whose weightings are such that an estimation of the leaked signal through the main beamformer is obtained. Then the output of main beamformer is modified according to the ...
