Speech Enhancement using Equivalent Source Inverse Filtering (ESIF) Array
New microphone array techniques are proposed in this paper for acoustic signal processing in telecommunication application. These endeavors are based on the central idea of Equivalent Source Inverse Filtering (ESIF). The single input multiple output equivalence source imaging (SIMO-ESI) algorithms are suggested to reconstruct the speech signal in a reverberant environment. Specifically, the system serves two purposed: dereverberation and noise reduction. It has promise in telecommunication application such as the automotive hands-free system, where noise-corrupted speech signal often needs to be enhanced. In order to further improve the noise reduction performance in spatial filtering and robustness against system uncertainties, the SIMO-ESIF algorithm is combined with an adaptive Generalized Side-lobe Canceller (GSC). The system is implemented on an NI-PXI platform and evaluated experimentally in car environment. As indicated by several performance measures in noise reduction and speech distortion, the proposed microphone array algorithm proved effective in reducing noise in human speech without significantly compromising the speech quality.
