A Non-Contact Speech Enhancement Algorithm Based on Wavelet Packet Adaptive Threshold

Article Preview

Abstract:

Speech is an important method for human communication. In this paper, we developed a new method for detecting speech signal. Because of the advantage of this speech detecting method, it has great potential application value in many fields. Simultaneously, basing on the good capability of wavelet packet for analyzing time-frequency signal, this paper also developed an algorithm of wavelet packet threshold by using hard threshold and soft threshold for removing noise. Comparing to spectral subtraction and Wiener filter speech enhancement algorithm, the proposed algorithm takes on a better performance on noise removing and speech signal reserving.
