Objective Measures for Speech Quality Testing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a discussion of the philosophy and practice of spccch quality testing using objective measures. The emphasis in the paper is on the problems of designing effective objective quality measures and the inherent limitations of such measures. Both traditional and recent techniques are discussed, along with the issues of implementation and evaluation. Experimental results on the carrelation between objective quality measures and subjective quality measures are also presented.

Speech quality evaluation based on AM-FM time-frequency representations
This paper deals with the application of information extracted from AM and FM time-frequency representations of speech to the task of determining speech quality. The representations are introduced and then the procedure for data extraction is outlined. The experimental setup for the assessment of objective quality covers distortions typically found in speech communication systems. To determine ...
متن کاملPrediction of Perceived Sound Quality of Synthetic Speech
This paper investigates the performance of objective speech and audio quality measures for the prediction of perceived sound quality of synthetic speech. A number of existing quality measures have been applied to synthetic speech generated by different speech synthesizers such like LP synthesizer, HSM synthesizer, STRAIGHT synthesizer and several HMM based text-to-speech synthesis systems. The ...
متن کاملSpeech Quality Assessment
This chapter provides an overview of the various methods and techniques used for assessment of speech quality. A summary is given of some of the most commonly used listening tests designed to obtain reliable ratings of the quality of processed speech from human listeners. Considerations for conducting successful subjective listening tests are given along with cautions that need to be exercised....
متن کاملEvaluation of objective measures for speech enhancement
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of several objective measures in terms of predicting the quality of noisy speech enhanced by noise suppression algorithms. The objective measures considered a wide range of distortions introduced by four types of real-world noise at two SNRs by four classes of speech enhancement algorithms: spectral subtractive, subspace, statistical-model based and Wi...
متن کاملAn Effective Evaluation Study of Objective Measures Using Spectral Subtractive Enhanced Signal
Unwanted noises have a negative influence over communication because it disturbs the conversation and make the communication impossible. Speech enhancement algorithms are used for improving the quality and intelligibility or to reduce listener fatigues. Assessment of speech quality can be done by using either subjective listening test or objective quality measure. Evaluation of several objectiv...
