Research on the Speech Enhancement Method based on PCA/KLT Algorithms

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a speech enhancement technique in terms of subspace methods to reduce the white or colored noise in strong background noise environment. This subspace approach based on Karhunen-Loève transform (KLT) and implemented via Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The subspace selection provided by the minimum description length (MDL) criterion. An offset factor generated from the white noise was used to modify the variance to adapt to the specified colored noise. The objective speech quality measures SegSNR have been introduced to evaluate the performance of the proposed method in time domain. A large amount of data and figures testify that our algorithm provides high performance for a large scale of input signal-to-noise ratio (-5~10dB). The performance of our algorithm is assessed in white and colored noise.
