چکیده

Despite the fact that histograms of speech DFT coefficients are super-Gaussian, not much attention has been paid to develop estimators under these super-Gaussian distributions in combination with perceptual meaningful distortion measures. In this paper we present log-spectral magnitude MMSE estimators under super-Gaussian densities, resulting in an estimator that is perceptually more meaningful and in line with measured histograms of speech DFT coefficients. Compared to state-of-theart reference methods, the presented estimator leads to an improvement of the segmental SNR in the order of 0.5 dB up to 1 dB. Moreover, listening tests show that the proposed estimator leads to significant improvement for the presented estimator over state-of-the-art methods.

Speech enhancement minimizing generalized euclidean distortion using supergaussian priors

We introduce short time spectral estimators which minimize the weighted Euclidean distortion (WED) between the clean and estimated speech spectral components when clean speech is degraded by additive noise. The traditional minimummean square error (MMSE) estimator does not take into account sufficient perceptual measure during enhancement of noisy speech. However, the new estimators discussed i...

Use of speech presence uncertainty with MMSE spectral energy estimation for robust automatic speech recognition

In this paper, we investigate the use of the minimum mean square error (MMSE) spectral energy estimator for use in environmentrobust automatic speech recognition (ASR). In the past, it has been common to use the MMSE log-spectral amplitude estimator for this task. However, this estimator was originally derived under subjective human listening criteria. Therefore its complex suppression rule may...

Speech Enhancement using Laplacian Mixture Model under Signal Presence Uncertainty

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE  estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of  noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...

Beta-order minimum mean-square error multichannel spectral amplitude estimation for speech enhancement

In this paper, the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) ˇ-order estimator for multichannel speech enhancement is proposed. The estimator is an extension of the single-channel MMSE ˇ-order and multichannel MMSE short-time spectral amplitude estimators using Rayleigh and Gaussian distributions for the statistical models under the assumption of a diffuse noise field where the noise is estimated indepe...

Aalborg Universitet Non - Gaussian , Non - stationary and Nonlinear Signal Processing Methods - with Applications to Speech Processing and Channel Estimation

The Gaussian statistic model, despite its mathematical elegance, is found to be too factitious for many real world signals, as manifested by its unsatisfactory performance when applied to non-Gaussian signals. Traditional non-Gaussian signal processing techniques, on the other hand, are usually associated with high complexities and low data efficiencies. This thesis addresses the problem of opt...
