Effect of Speech enhancement using spectral subtraction on various noisy environment
IRJET, 2022
Analysis Modification Synthesis (AMS) plays a key role in many audio signal processing applications, separating the audio stream into time intervals with speech activity and time intervals without speech. Many features have been introduced into the literature that reflect the existence of language. Therefore, this article presents a structured overview of several established speech enhancement features targeting different characteristics of speech. Categorize features in terms of their exploitable properties. B. Evaluate performance in a background noise environment, different input SNR categories, and some dedicated functions. Our analysis shows how to select promising VAD features and find reasonable tradeoffs between performance and complexity. To estimate clean speech using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), we emphasize the noise spectrum estimated during speech, subtract it from the noisy speech spectrum, and consider the average amplitude of the clean spectrum. and tried to develop a new method to minimize the spectrum of loud sounds. The noise reduction algorithm uses MATLAB software to semi- duplicate the noisy speech data (overlap-add processing) and use FFT to calculate the corresponding amplitude spectrum to remove noise from the noisy speech. and performed by reversing the audio in time. Reconstructed with the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT).
SPEECH ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM USING LABVIEW
Speech enhancement has become one of the most important tools of the modern generation and is widely used in various fields for various purposes. The past decade has seen dramatic progress in speech recognition technology, to the extent that systems and high-performance algorithms have become accessible. Speech enhancement depends on signal processing. Speech enhancement techniques are widely used to enhance the quality and intelligibility of the speech signal in the noisy environment. Conventional noise reduction methods introduce more residual noise and speech distortion. The existing algorithms fail when there are abrupt changes in the noise level. To overcome the shortcomings of the conventional methods, improved noise tracking algorithm is proposed in this paper for speech enhancement. The noise signal is estimated for the existing and the proposed methods. Results are simulated using LabView. This report shows how to recognize and enhance the speech using filters in lab view. Predictable noise reduction methods initiate more enduring noise and speech alteration. The existing algorithms not succeed when there are sudden changes in the noise level. To overcome the shortcomings of the unadventurous methods, enhanced noise tracking algorithm is future in this paper for speech enhancement. The noise signal is estimated for the accessible and the future methods. Calculate the SNR (signal to noise ratio) value of input signal, input signal plus added noise and filtered signal in order to measure the improved SNR value. By using filters we will get the enhanced speech signal with reduced noise. The aim speaker, and the signal-to noise ratio (SNR) specifically to switch definite speakers, noise types and SNRs, are competent of achieving hefty improvement in estimated speech quality (SQ) and speech clearness. A noisy sound of an untrained speech is processed finally; we compare the proposed algorithm with different speech enhancement algorithms. The contribution of all components of the proposed algorithm was analyzed signifying their collective importance.
A NOVEL SPEECH ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUE
This enhancement technique is a novel one and is based on the combination of Wavelet thresholding and Spectral Subtraction. Five wavelet filters are compared and the best filter is selected based on their performance of Signal to Noise Ratio. The selected filter is applied to the detail coefficients for thresholding. Approximation coefficient is applied to spectral subtraction filter. The reconstructed signal is evaluated using the metrics such as SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), Correlation coefficient and PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality). Real time data is recorded from Alaryngeal speakers and real world noise from Noizeus corpus is used for the study.
Noise is one of the major challenges in the development of robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) System. There are several speech enhancement techniques available to reduce the effect of noise from speech signals. In this paper, a statistical analysis is presented on the impact of speech enhancement techniques on the feature vectors of noisy speech signals by estimating Bhattacharya distances (BD) from the feature vectors of approximately noise free training speech signals to the feature vectors of noisy testing speech signals. Here Sub-band Spectral Subtraction (SSS) and Frame Selection (FS) have been used as speech enhancement techniques at signal level and Cepstral Mean Normalization (CMN) has been used as feature normalization technique at feature level. In this research work, combination of Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Log energies, first time derivatives and second time derivatives of MFCCs and Log energies has been used as speech feature vectors.

A Brief Survey of Speech Enhancement 1
We present a brief overview of the speech enhancement problem for wide-band noise sources that are not correlated with the speech signal. Our main focus is on the spectral subtraction approach and some of its derivatives in the forms of linear and non-linear minimum mean square error estimators. For the linear case, we review the signal subspace approach, and for the non-linear case, we review spectral magnitude and phase estimators. On line estimation of the second order statistics of speech signals using parametric and non-parametric models is also addressed.

Performance analysis of neural network, NMF and statistical approaches for speech enhancement
International Journal of Speech Technology, 2020
Bayesian Estimators are very useful in speech enhancement and noise reduction. But, it is noted that the traditional estimators process only amplitudes and the phase is left unprocessed. Among the Bayesian estimators, Super-Gaussian based estimators provide improved noise reduction. Super-Gaussian Bayesian estimators, which uses processed phase information for estimation of amplitudes provides further improved results. In this work, the Complex speech coefficients given Uncertain Phase (CUP) based Bayesian estimators like CUP-GG (CUP Estimator with speech spectral coefficients assumed as Gamma and noise spectral coefficients as Generalized Gamma), CUP-NG (Speech as Nakagami) are compared under white noise, pink noise, Babble noise and Non-Stationary factory noise conditions. The statistical estimators show less effective results under completely non-stationary assumptions like non-stationary factory noise, babble noise etc. Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) based algorithms show better performance for non stationary noises. The drawback of NMF is, it requires apriori knowledge about speech. This drawback can be overcome by taking the advantages of both statistical approaches and NMF approaches. NR-NMF and WR-NMF speech enhancement methods are developed by providing posteriori regularization based on statistical assumption of speech and noise DFT coefficients distribution. Also a speech enhancement method which uses CUP-GG estimator and NMF with online noise bases update are considered for comparison. The progress in neural network based approaches for speech enhancement further shown that with large dataset and better training, the speech enhancement algorithms results in improved results. In this work, the neural network approach for speech enhancement is implemented and compared the method with traditional estimators and NMF approaches. For generalization of unseen noise types the proposed neural network approach uses dropout. Also for training the network, the features obtained from apriori SNR and aposteriori SNR is used in this method. The objective of this paper is to analyze the performance of speech enhancement methods based on Neural Network, NMF and statistical based. The objective performance measures Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ), Short-Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Segmental SNR (Seg SNR) are considered for comparison.
Speech enhancement based on audible noise suppression
IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing, 1997
A novel speech enhancement technique is presented based on the definition of the psychoacoustically derived quantity of audible noise spectrum and its subsequent suppression using optimal nonlinear filtering of the short-time spectral amplitude (STSA) envelope. The filter operates with sparse spectral estimates obtained from the STSA, and, when these parameters are accurately known, significant intelligibility gains, up to 40%, result in the processed speech signal. These parameters can be also estimated from noisy data, resulting into smaller but significant intelligibility gains.
Reduction of Noise in Speech Signal Processing and Reconstruction of Signal
IAEME PUBLICATION, 2020
Noise is a signal where information is converted into voltage variation. The cause of noise is another signal of voltage variation which has occurred from a source which is not authorised known as unwanted or undesired signal. It may enter our communication system in various stages through a microphone from external sources such as wind, human disturbances, etc. This paper dilineates the LMS adaptive method used for audio quality amplification by minimising the noise in speech signal processing. The least mean square and leaky least mean square were the two basic adaptive algorithms has been executed to turn down the noise within the range of speech signal. This combined system has more efficiency and can be used in various places such as auditorium, etc for various purposes where the noise is the major problem. The software can be used easily to detect and minimize the noise using applications. Widrow's adaptive noise cancellation technique with some improvements in the matlab code and the signal to noise ratio improvements were presented in this paper.
