DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0058] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0059] It is to be understood that the terms "first", "second", and the like, used in the description and the claims of the application, as well as the above-described drawings, are used to distinguish between similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the use of the terms so-termed "first", "second", etc. can be interchanged, where appropriate, to refer to the same element in order to describe the embodiments of the application described herein, which can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprise" and "have", as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a list of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to such a process, method, product or apparatus.

[0060] The application provides a biological radar speech enhancement method based on variational mode decomposition, comprising the following steps:

[0061] 1) Sampling the biological radar speech to obtain an original noisy radar speech signal;

[0062] In step 1), the Powerlab physiological recorder with 8 channels is used to sample the biological radar speech, and the sampling rate is 10 kHz.

[0063] 2) The collected original noisy radar speech signal is firstly subjected to empirical mode decomposition, and the number of decomposition layers is determined according to the characteristics of the intrinsic mode function after empirical mode decomposition;

[0064] In step 2), the number of decomposition layers determined by empirical mode decomposition is as follows:

[0065] Suppose that the given speech signal is x(t), the empirical mode decomposition method adaptively decomposes the original signal into intrinsic mode functions through a screening process, and each intrinsic mode function IMF is a sub-frequency component of the original signal. By analyzing the amplitude characteristics of each IMF from high frequency to low frequency, it is determined that when the amplitude value of the IMF is less than 0.1, the mode is the speech detail information, and the remaining modes are the main information, and the number of main information modes is the number of decomposition layers of the variational mode decomposition. Then, the IMF after empirical mode decomposition EMD is from top to bottom, and the first IMF whose amplitude value is less than 0.1 is the number of main information modes, which can be obtained by the following formula:

[0066]

[0067] 3) Decomposing the original noisy radar speech according to the number of decomposition layers;

[0068] Step 3) The variational mode decomposition (VMD) method is as follows:

[0069] Given the original radar speech signal x(t), first the analytic signal of each mode u k is obtained by Hilbert transform, and the variational constraint problem is constructed:

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] x(t) is decomposed into K modes, where u k (k=1, 2, …, K) is the K modes of VMD method, w k (k=1, 2, …, K) is the center frequency of each mode. The solution of each mode requires the constraint problem of equation (1) to be transformed into a non-constrained variational problem. The Lagrange multiplier operator is introduced:

[0073]

[0074] where α is the penalty factor controlling the bandwidth, λ(t) is the Lagrange multiplier, * represents convolution, and δ(t) is the unit impulse function.

[0075] The alternating direction method of multipliers and Parseval Fourier equidistant transform are used to convert each mode from time domain to frequency domain by equation (2):

[0076]

[0077] where the center frequency of each mode is:

[0078]

[0079] where w k n+1 is the power spectrum center of the kth mode.

[0080] 4) Calculate the Pearson coefficient between each order eigenmode decomposition of variational mode decomposition and the original radar speech signal; to determine the useful decomposition and reconstruction mode;

[0081] 5) Calculate the Pearson coefficient between each order eigenmode decomposition of variational mode decomposition and the original radar speech signal; to determine the Pearson coefficient calculation method of the original radar speech signal and VMD decomposition mode in step 3) as follows:

[0082]

[0083] x t and y t represent two random variables. For radar speech enhancement, experiments show that when the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.1, it is the threshold for dividing whether it is a useful mode.

[0084] The improved threshold strategy method is as follows, and the adaptive soft threshold of each mode is represented by the following formula:

[0085]

[0086] N j The length of the jth scale signal, and sigma is the estimated noise of each mode signal. The improved noise of each mode can be calculated by the following formula:

[0087]

[0088] Wherein, L is the estimated length of the initial silent section of the radar speech signal.

[0089] The improved soft threshold function of the improved threshold strategy is used to denoise the useful mode according to the following formula:

[0090]

[0091] Wherein, m is a compensation factor, which prevents the past noise from causing distortion of the speech signal.

[0092] The value of the compensation factor m is 0.001.

[0093] 6) The improved threshold is used to denoise the useful mode, and then the enhanced radar speech is reconstructed.

[0094] Wherein, the 94GHz radar speech denoised by the improved threshold strategy is reconstructed to obtain the enhanced speech, and the specific reconstruction is calculated according to the following formula:

[0095]

[0096] Wherein, IMF is K each mode of VMD decomposition, and a is the number of useful modes determined by calculating the Pearson coefficient.

[0097] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to this embodiment. In order to make the public have a thorough understanding of the present application, the specific details are described in detail in the following preferred examples of the present application.

[0098] Referring to Figure 1 The basic principle of the present application based on the variational mode decomposition and the improved threshold strategy method is as follows: first, the collected radar speech signal is decomposed by empirical mode decomposition to determine the number of decomposition layers; then, according to the number of decomposition layers, the collected radar speech signal is decomposed by empirical mode decomposition; the Pearson coefficient of the original radar speech signal and each order mode function is calculated to determine the useful mode; the useful mode is denoised by the improved threshold strategy; and the processed useful mode is reconstructed to obtain the enhanced speech.

[0099] The processing results are compared, please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 Figures (a) are time-domain waveforms of the radar speech signals, and figures (b) are spectrograms of the radar speech signals.

[0100] As can be seen from Figure 5 , the original radar speech signal has noise in the entire frequency band, and there is also single-band noise interference, which leads to low quality of the collected radar speech. Figure 6 is the radar speech signal enhanced by the wavelet soft threshold algorithm. As can be seen from the figure, the wavelet soft threshold effectively removes the noise in the radar speech. However, observing the spectrogram, the speech horizontal stripes have a certain deformation, and new noise is introduced, in addition, there is still residual noise in the low frequency band.

[0101] Figure 7 is the radar speech signal enhanced by empirical mode decomposition. As can be seen from the figure, the noise in the original radar speech is greatly suppressed, and whether in the time-domain waveform or in the spectrogram, the quality of the speech is greatly improved. However, observing the spectrogram, the clarity between the horizontal stripes is not high, so there is still a deficiency in radar speech enhancement.

[0102] Figure 8 is the radar speech signal enhanced by the method of variational mode decomposition and improved threshold strategy. As can be seen from the figure, the noise in the entire frequency band of the radar speech signal enhanced by this method is weakened, and the objective evaluation method experiment shows that the method of the present application can effectively improve the quality and intelligibility of the radar speech without distorting the original radar speech signal.

[0103] Although the speech enhancement method based on variational mode decomposition and improved threshold strategy discussed in the present application is targeted and especially suitable for 94GHz asymmetric antenna biological radar speech signals, the scope of use of the present application is not limited to 94GHz asymmetric antenna radar speech signals. It also has important guiding significance and reference value for other millimeter wave, centimeter wave radar speech signals, and some acoustic speech signals collected in the same environment. The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, which are not intended to limit the present application in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent structural change made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiments are still within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.

[0104] In order to ensure the consistency of the sound source, the recording material "1-2-3-4-5-6" of a male experimenter was selected, and played by a sound box at a distance of 10 meters from the 94GHz asymmetric antenna biological radar system.

[0105] The radar speech is enhanced in the following steps:

[0106] 1) The radar speech is sampled by using an 8-channel Powerlab physiological recorder, and the sampling rate is 10 kHz; the original noisy radar speech signal is obtained after sampling;

[0107] 2) The noisy radar speech signal is decomposed into intrinsic mode functions by empirical mode decomposition, and the main information layer is determined;

[0108] 3) The noisy radar speech signal is decomposed by variational mode decomposition according to the determined decomposition layer;

[0109] 4) The Pearson correlation coefficients of the decomposed modes and the original radar speech signal are calculated, and the useful modes are determined;

[0110] 5) The useful modes are denoised by using the improved threshold strategy;

[0111] 6) The denoised useful modes are reconstructed to obtain the enhanced radar speech.

[0112] Comparison of processing results:

[0113] From Figure 5 it can be seen that the original radar speech signal has noise in the entire frequency band, and there is also single frequency band noise interference, which leads to low quality of the collected radar speech. Figure 6 is the radar speech signal enhanced by the wavelet soft threshold algorithm. From the figure, it can be seen that the wavelet soft threshold effectively removes the noise in the radar speech. However, observing the spectrogram, the speech horizontal stripes have a certain deformation, and new noise is introduced, in addition, there is still residual noise in the low frequency band. Figure 7 is the radar speech signal enhanced by empirical mode decomposition. From the figure, it can be seen that the noise in the original radar speech is greatly suppressed, and whether in the time domain waveform or in the spectrogram, the quality of the speech is greatly improved, but observing the spectrogram, the clarity between the horizontal stripes is not high, so there is still a deficiency in radar speech enhancement. Figure 8 is the radar speech signal enhanced by the variational mode decomposition and improved threshold strategy method. From the figure, it can be seen that the noise in the radar speech enhanced by this method is weakened in the entire frequency band, and the objective evaluation method experiment shows that the method described in the patent can effectively improve the quality and intelligibility of the radar speech without causing distortion of the original radar speech signal. This is mainly because the method can effectively decompose the original radar speech signal into mode components of different frequencies, effectively prevent over-decomposition and under-decomposition, and suppress mode aliasing.

[0114] In addition, the improved threshold strategy of the present application is based on the average energy of the initial silent section to calculate the estimated value of the modal noise after the variational modal decomposition, so the accuracy is higher. In addition, the original soft threshold function is modified by using a compensation factor to modify the soft threshold function, so that not only the excessive damage to the speech signal can be effectively avoided, but also the residual noise in the noise radar speech can be effectively suppressed.

[0115] The present application also provides a biological radar speech enhancement system based on variational modal decomposition, comprising the following steps:

[0116] The acquisition module is used to acquire the biological radar speech to obtain an original noisy radar speech signal.

[0117] The decomposition module is used to perform empirical mode decomposition on the intrinsic mode function feature of the original noisy radar speech signal, determine the number of variational modal decomposition layers according to the intrinsic mode function feature, perform variational modal decomposition VMD on the original noisy radar speech according to the number of decomposition layers to obtain each order intrinsic modal decomposition, and solve the Pearson coefficient of each order intrinsic modal decomposition and the original radar speech signal to determine a useful decomposition and reconstruction mode.

[0118] The reconstruction module is used to perform denoising processing on the useful mode by using the improved threshold to reconstruct an enhanced radar speech.
