Abstract

This paper proposes an optimal gain modification method of the Multichannel Wiener filter (MWF) using speech presence probabilities. Conventional gain modification methods of MWFs have the problem of the increase of speech distortions while reducing residual noises with its relative heuristic approach. However, the proposed optimal gain modification method, derived by solving the unconstrained minimization problem of the probability-involved cost function, reduces amounts of residual noises and signal distortions simultaneously. Through an evaluation of the filtered waveforms and spectrograms, it is verified that the proposed method results in an improved SNR with less signal distortions compared to the conventional MWF.

본 논문에서는 음성존재확률을 이용하여 다채널 위너필터의 이득을 최적으로 변형하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 음성존재확률을 이용한 다채널 위너필터의 변형은 다소 경험적인 방법을 사용하기 때문에 잔여잡음의 양을 줄이면 음성왜곡이 증가하는 문제가 있다. 하지만, 제안된 최적 변형 다채널 위너필터는 음성존재확률을 최적 필터를 도출하기 위한 비용함수에 적용하여 비제한적 최소화 문제의 해를 이용하여 잔여잡음의 양과 음성왜곡을 동시에 줄일 수 있는 결과를 보였다. 잡음제거된 파형과 스펙트로그램의 평가를 통해서 제안된 최적 변형 다채널 위너필터가 종래의 다채널 위너필터와 비교하여 향상된 SNR과 음성왜곡을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.
