Abstract

The invention discloses a speech enhancement method based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM) noise estimation, wherein the GMM is used for estimating background noise and a spectral subtraction coefficient, spectral subtraction is conducted on noisy speech, and pure speech is recovered. Firstly, the noisy speech is preprocessed so as to obtain the amplitude and phase of the noisy speech, the amplitude is used for noise estimation and spectral subtraction, and the phase is used for recovering a time-domain signal; then, the GMM is used for estimating noise parameters and pure speech cepstrum characteristics from the noisy speech in real time, and the spectral subtraction coefficient is calculated according to the estimated pure speech cepstrum characteristics; finally, spectral subtraction is conducted on the frequency spectrum of the noisy speech, the time-domain signal is recovered, and enhanced speech is obtained according to an overlap-add method. According to the speech enhancement method, the capability of the speech enhancement algorithm to track non-stationary noise can be improved remarkably.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of speech recognition, and specifically relates to a speech enhancement method for estimating background noise and spectral subtraction coefficients by using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM: Gaussian Mixture Model), performing spectral subtraction on noisy speech, and recovering pure speech. Background technique [0002] In practical applications, voice communication will inevitably be disturbed by environmental noise. In order to reduce the impact of noise on speech signals, in speech communication, some methods need to be used to suppress noise interference, enhance useful speech signals, and increase the intelligibility of speech. These methods are speech enhancement. According to the number of voice channels, voice enhancement can be divided into single-channel voice enhancement, dual-channel voice enhancement and multi-channel voice enhancement. Although dual-channel and multi-channel speech enhancement ...
