A Geometric Approach for Separating Several Speech Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. In this paper a new geometrical approach for separating speech signals is presented. This approach can be directly applied to separate more than two speech signals. It is based on clustering the observation points, and then fitting a line (hyper-plane) onto each cluster. The algorithm quality is shown to be improved by using DCT coefficients of speech signals, as opposed to using speech samples.

A New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملA Natural Gradient Convolutive Blind Source Separation Algorithm for Speech Mixtures
In this paper, a novel algorithm for separating mixtures of multiple speech signals measured by multiple microphones in a room environment is proposed. The algorithm is a modification of an existing approach for density-based multichannel blind deconvolution using natural gradient adaptation. It employs linear predictors within the coefficient updates and produces separated speech signals whose...
متن کاملUnconstrained Speech Separation by Composition of Longest Segments
A data-driven approach is presented for improving the performance of separating single-channel mixed speech signals, assuming unknown, arbitrary temporal dynamics. The new approach seeks and separates the longest mixed speech segments which can be accurately matched by composite training segments. Lengthening the mixed speech segments to match reduces the uncertainty of the matching constituent...
متن کاملBayesian integration of sound source separation and speech recognition: a new approach to simultaneous speech recognition
This paper presents a novel Bayesian method that can directly recognize overlapping utterances without explicitly separating mixture signals into their independent components in advance of speech recognition. The conventional approach to contaminated speech recognition in real environments uniquely extracts the clean isolated signals of individual sources (e.g., by noise reduction, dereverberat...
متن کاملTranslation Invariant Approach for Measuring Similarity of Signals
In many signal processing applications, an appropriate measure to compare two signals plays a fundamental role in both implementing the algorithm and evaluating its performance. Several techniques have been introduced in literature as similarity measures. However, the existing measures are often either impractical for some applications or they have unsatisfactory results in some other applicati...
