A method of whispered speech enhancement based on speech absence probability and modified mel-domain masking model

Whispered speech enhancement using auditory masking model in modified Meldomain and Speech Absence Probability(SAP)was proposed.In light of the phonation characteristic of whisper,we modify the Mel-frequency Scaling model.Whispered speech is filtered by the proposed model.Meanwhile,the value of masking threshold for each frequency band is dynamically determined by speech absence probability.Then whispered speech enhancement is conducted by adaptively rectifying the spectrum subtraction coefficients using different masking threshold values.Results of objective and subjective tests on the enhanced whispered signal show that compared with other methods;the proposed method can enhance whispered signal with better subjective auditory quality and less distortion by reducing the music noise and background noise under the masking threshold value.     

听觉频域掩蔽效应的自适应β阶贝叶斯感知估计语音增强算法

为了在噪声抑制和语音失真中之间寻找最佳平衡,提出了一种听觉频域掩蔽效应的自适应β阶贝叶斯感知估计语音增强算法,以期提高语音增强的综合性能。算法利用了人耳的听觉掩蔽效应,根据计算得到的频域掩蔽阈自适应调整β阶贝叶斯感知估计语音增强算法中的β值,从而仅将噪声抑制在掩蔽阈之下,保留较多的语音信息,降低语音失真。并分别用客观和主观评价方式,对所提出的算法的性能进行了评估,并与原来基于信噪比的自适应β阶贝叶斯感知估计语音增强算法进行了比较。结果表明,频域掩蔽的β阶贝叶斯感知估计方法的综合客观评价结果在信噪比为-10 dB至5 dB之间时均高于基于信噪比的自适应β阶贝叶斯感知估计语音增强算法。主观评价结果也表明频域掩蔽的β阶贝叶斯感知估计方法能在尽量保留语音信息的同时,较好的抑制背景噪声。
