Enhancement of Reverberant Speech Using L
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new method of processing speech degraded by reverb'eration. The method is based on analysis of short (2 ms) segments of data to enhance the regions in the speech :signal having high Signal to Reverberant component Ratio (SRR). The short segment analysis shows that SRR is different in different segments of speech. The processing method involves identifying and manipulating the linear prediction residual in three different regions of the speech signal, namely, high SRR region, low SRR region and only reverberation component region. A weighting function is derived 1.0 modify the LP residual. The weighted residual samples are used to excite the time-varying LP allpole filter to obtain perceptually enhanced speech.

This paper describes our speech enhancement and recognition systems developed for the Reverberation Challenge 2014. To enhance the noisy and reverberant speech for human listening, besides using conventional methods such as delay and sum beamformer and late reverberation reduction by spectral subtraction, we also studied a novel learning-based speech enhancement.

متن کاملSpeech Detection and Enhancement Using Single Microphone for Distant Speech Applications in Reverberant Environments
It is well known that in reverberant environments, the human auditory system has the ability to pre-process reverberant signals to compensate for reflections and obtain effective cues for improved recognition. In this study, we propose such a preprocessing technique for combined detection and enhancement of speech using a single microphone in reverberant environments for distant speech applicat...
متن کاملA one-microphone algorithm for reverberant speech enhancement
We present an algorithm for reverberant speech enhancement using one microphone. We first propose a novel pitch-based reverberation measure for estimating reverberation time (RT60) based on the distribution of relative time lags. This measure of pitch strength correlates with reverberation and decreases systematically as detrimental effects of reverberation on harmonic structure increase. Then ...
متن کاملOn the role of missing data imputation and NMF feature enhancement in building synthetic voices using reverberant speech
In this paper, we study the role of a recently proposed feature enhancement technique in building HMM-based synthetic voices using reverberant speech data. The feature enhancement technique studied combines the advantages of missing data imputation and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) based methods in cleaning up the reverberant features. Speaker adaptation of a clean average voice using...
متن کاملEnhancement of reverberant speech using excitation source information
This paper proposes a method for the enhancement of reverberant speech using the knowledge of the excitation source of speech production. The degradation level in the reverberant speech is measured in terms of Speechto-Reverberation component Ratio (SRR). From perception and processing point of view high SRR regions are important. Hence the proposed method identifies and enhances the speech in ...
