Hybrid quality measures for single-channel speech enhancement algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an overview of speech quality measures and apply them to the typical shortcomings of speech enhancement algorithms. This is important for comparing different approaches to noise reduction, and it suggests ways to improve a speech enhancement algorithm. Objective quality measures are compared to the subjective quality evaluation of human listeners by means of extensive listening tests. As a result, we propose a hybrid method for measuring the quality of speech enhancement algorithms.
