Spectral Subtraction and Spectral Estimation

SPECTRAL SUBTRACTION AND SPECTRAL ESTIMATION Miguel

The problem of spectral subtraction, to estimate the parameters of a single source in colored noise, is used to show the relationships between the likelihood formulation and spectral density estimation. Reported previously as a filter bank processing for spectral estimation, it is shown that the normalized Capon estimate is the natural tool for source location in I-d and 2-d scenarios when the ...

Spectral Estimation of Stationary Time Series: Recent Developments

Spectral analysis considers the problem of determining (the art of recovering) the spectral content (i.e., the distribution of power over frequency) of a stationary time series from a finite set of measurements, by means of either nonparametric or parametric techniques. This paper introduces the spectral analysis problem, motivates the definition of power spectral density functions, and reviews...

Adaptive two-band spectral subtraction with multi-window spectral estimation

An improved spectral subtraction algorithm for enhancing speech corrupted by additive wideband noise is described. The artifactual noise introduced by spectral subtraction that is perceived as musical noise is 7 dB less than that introduced by the classical spectral subtraction algorithm of Berouti et al. Speech is decomposed into voiced and unvoiced sections. Since voiced speech is primarily s...

SPOT-5 Spectral and Textural Data Fusion for Forest Mean Age and Height Estimation

Precise estimation of the forest structural parameters supports decision makers for sustainable management of the forests. Moreover, timber volume estimation and consequently the economic value of a forest can be derived based on the structural parameter quantization. Mean age and height of the trees are two important parameters for estimating the productivity of the plantations. This research ...
