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.

The noise of image is added by many environmental factors. Therefore, we need to remove these noises using the conventional filtering methods, which are optimized based on the statistical characteristic of noise. In direct restoration method, there is an inverse filter and the wiener filter. Here, the wiener filter is the optimized filter in the view of least square method. First, we are going to study the inverse filter, wiener filter, constraint least square filter. Second, in order to control the quantity, we use the parameters instead of the power spectrum ratio. But, these parameters have the conflicting condition, therefore, we optimized the variables using parametric wiener filter which adjust the application appropriately. In the simulation results, the contrast of the degraded image was enhanced and the noise was removed. Comparative experimentation was demonstrated edge preserving and noise removing property.

Parameterized multichannel Wiener filter (PMWF) is a linear filter that can control the trade-off between residual noise and signal distortion using the embedded parameter. To apply the PMWF to noisy inputs, accurate noise estimation is important and multichannel minima-controlled recursive averaging (MMCRA) is widely used. However, in the case of the MMCRA, the accuracy of noise estimation decreases when a directional interference is involved into the array inputs. Consequently, the performance of the PMWF is degraded. Therefore, we propose a noise power spectral density (PSD) estimation method for the PMWF in this paper. The proposed method is based on a consecutive process of eigenvalue decomposition on noisy input PSD, estimation of the target component contribution using directional information, and exponential weighting for improved estimation of the target contribution. For evaluation, four objective measures were compared with the MMCRA and we verify that the PMWF with the proposed noise estimation method can improve performance in environments where directional interfereces exist.

잡음이 존재하는 환경에서의 신호의 분산을 측정하는 것은 잡음 제거에 중요한 요소를 맡고 있다. 잡음을 제거하는 방법 중에 가장 보편적으로 사용하는 방법에는 위너 필터가 존재한다. 웨이블릿 기반의 위너 필터링은 저복잡성을 지닌 이미지 잡음 제거에 탁월한 효과를 보인다. 신호의 분산을 측정할 경우 어떤 모양의 필터를 적용하여 측정하느냐에 따라 분산이 달라지게 되므로 이미지의 잡음 제거에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이에 본 논문은 위너 필터에 적용되는 필터를 기존의 정사각형 모양(square-shaped)과 제안하는 십자가 모양(cross-shaped)을 각각 적용하여 이미지의 잡음을 제거하였다.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve the background sound separation performance by adding a Wiener filter to the end of the non - negative matrix factorization method. In the case of a mixed voice signal with background sound, a part that has not yet been completely separated may remain in the signal that separated first by the non-negative matrix factorization method. In this case, it can be reduced in proportion to the size of the residual signal due to the Wiener filter, so that the background sound separation or reduction effect can be expected. Experimental results show that the addition of the Wiener filter is more effective than the case of applying the non-negative matrix factorization method.

This paper proposes a noise reduction algorithm using Wiener filter to remove the noise components from the noisy speech in order to improve the speech signal. The proposed algorithm first removes the noise spectrums of white noise from the noisy signal based on the noise reshaping and reduction method at each frame. And this algorithm enhances the speech signal using Wiener filter based on linear predictive coding analysis. In this experiment, experimental results of the proposed algorithm demonstrate using the speech and noise data by Japanese male speaker. Based on measuring the spectral distortion (SD) measure, experiments confirm that the proposed algorithm is effective for the speech by contaminated white noise. From the experiments, the maximum improvement in the output SD values was 4.94 dB better for white noise compared with former Wiener filter.

최근 음성인식 시스템의 성능 향상은 많이 개선되었지만 아직도 잡음과 같은 문제로 인하여 문제점이 나타나고 있다. 음성인식 시스템에 있어서의 잡음 문제를 해결함으로써 인식 성능을 향상할 목적으로 본 논문에서는 단시간 스펙트럼에 기초한 주파수특성을 고려한 위너필터를 사용한 잡음 차감 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 먼저 각 프레임에서 문턱값을 검출한 후에 비묵음 구간과 묵음 구간을 식별한다. 각 프레임에 대해서 비묵음 구간에서는 위너필터법에 의한 잡음 차감법을 실시하며, 묵음 구간에 대해서는 일반적인 잡음 차감법을 적용한다.

Digital radiography (DR) images are corrupted by the additive noise, and also distorted by system impulse response. These unwanted phenomena are obstacles to obtain the desired image. To recover the original image, we applied multiscale Wiener filters in wavelet domain for DR images. The multiscale Wiener filter is first proposed by Chen for the restoration of fractal signals which are distorted by the system impulse response and additive noise. In this paper, we extended the multiscale Wiener filter to the two dimensional data. To compare the performance of ours with others, some simulations are given for a couple of wavelet filters with different wavelet levels, system impulse reponses and various noise power. When the addive noise powers are between 20-32 dB, the signal to noise ratio(SNR) of the proposed system is 0.5-2.0 dB better than that of the traditional Wiener filter method.

This paper deals with noise suppression of multi-channel data captured by microphone array using multi-channel Wiener filter. Multi-channel Wiener filter does not rely on information about the direction of the target speech and can be partitioned into an MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) spatial filter and a single channel spectral filter. The acoustic transfer function between the single speech source and microphones can be estimated by subspace decomposition of multi-channel Wiener filter. The errors are incurred in the estimation of the acoustic transfer function due to the errors in the estimation of correlation matrices, which in turn results in speech distortion in the MVDR filter. To alleviate the speech distortion in the MVDR filter, diagonal loading is applied. In the experiments, database with seven microphones was used and MFCC distance was measured to demonstrate the effectiveness of the diagonal loading.
