2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ACOUSTICS, SPEECH, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING (ICASSP)(2015)
摘要
Microphone array processing utilize spatial separation between the desired speaker and interference signal for speech enhancement. The transfer functions (TFs) relating the speaker component at a reference microphone with all other microphones, denoted as the relative TFs (RTFs), play an important role in beamforming design criteria such as minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) and speech distortion weighted multichannel Wiener filter (SDW-MWF). Two common methods for estimating the RTF are surveyed here, namely, the covariance subtraction (CS) and the covariance whitening (CW) methods. We analyze the performance of the CS method theoretically and empirically validate the results of the analysis through extensive simulations. Furthermore, empirically comparing the methods performances in various scenarios evidently shows thats the CW method outperforms the CS method.
