speech enhancement for noise-robust speech recognition
SPEECH ENHANCEMENT FOR NOISE-ROBUST SPEECH RECOGNITION Vikramjit Mitra and Carol Y. Espy-Wilson Speech Communication Lab Propose an adaptive speech enhancement technique. Detects SNR of input speech. Removes stationary background noise. Performs pre-emphasis. De-noise using Modified Phase Opponency (MPO) model with Aperiodic Periodic and Pitch detector (APP) [1,2].

MPO-APP MPO acts as a switch, When speech is dominant, it passes the signal as-is. When noise is dominant, it attenuates the signal. Problematic situations: (a) wide-band speech → speech deletions (b) narrow band noise → noise insertions (i.e 2 formants close together) Solution: Use APP in cascade [2] APP detects periodic regions wide-band speech Periodic regions narrow-band noise Aperiodic regions APP thresholds vary with SNR Estimate SNR before MPO-APP enhancement MPO-APP fails to enhance high frequency formants if they are relatively weak Perform pre-emphasis before MPO-APP
